ROUNDED SECTION CAR-BODY (RSC) WITH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

초록

RSC(Rounded Section Car-Body) tilting train mechanism and its simple design has been introduced in railway engineering 2003 by KRRI(Korea Railroad Research Institute). Height of tilting center of RSC is quite higher than normal tilting train. Based on previous design experience, high height of tilting center of RSC has been considered its design shortcoming. In this paper, simple tilting principle, basic operational description of RSC and conceptual design of advanced RSC are introduced. Basic design knowledge of advanced RSC system is similar to RSC. But advanced RSC system provides lower height of tilting center than RSC and normal tilting train as well as better operational reliability."
