The Study of Tilting Actuator Control for Korea Tilting Train

초록

Tilting is the technology that makes the train tilted inward when the train negotiates a curve as in Figure 1. The lateral element of centrifugal acceleration generated by running a curve is countered by the lateral element of the acceleration of gravity, decreasing the lateral acceleration felt by passengers as a result. With such a tilting technology applied to the train, the riding comfort will increase and the speed at which the train negotiates a curve can also be increased, shortening the travel time. With the decreased deceleration frequency in negotiating curves, energy consumption can also be decreased.
