Tilting Train Control Explained

Tilting trains have a mechanism that allows them to tilt into curves to counteract centrifugal forces, allowing for higher speeds on curves and shorter travel times. The train can tilt passively through inertia or actively through computer control. Tilting trains improve travel times, allow for higher speeds on curves, are simple and reliable with low costs, and prevent passengers from feeling squashed in curves. They work by tilting the train body into curves using data from the track infrastructure to know when to tilt. Tilting stabilizes high-speed trains around curves and junctions and improves passenger comfort by reducing motion sickness.

DEFINITION OF TILTING TRAIN CONTROL
A tilting train is a train that has a mechanism enabling increased speed
on regular rail tracks. As a train (or other vehicle) rounds a curve at
speed, objects inside the train experience inertia. This can cause
packages to slide about or seated passengers to feel squashed by the
outboard armrest due to its centripetal force, and standing passengers to
lose their balance. Tilting trains are designed to counteract this
discomfort. In a curve to the left, the train tilts to the left to compensate
for the g-force push to the right, and vice versa. The train may be
constructed such that inertial forces cause the tilting (passive tilt), or it
may have a computer-controlled power mechanism (active tilt).
BENEFITS OF TILTING TRAIN CONTROL
further improve running times by optimizing tracks and trains.

allows higher speeds on curves, thus shortening travel time.

The system is simple and reliable.

The system has low initial and maintenance costs.

The control system is very simple if needed at all.

Inverse tilting can not occur.

HOW THE TILTING TRAIN CONTROL WORK
the data received by the train from the infrastructure elements of
the Tilt Enable and Supervision System;
when the Tilt Control System is enabled;
the train location for each event recorded;
each intervention by the train Tilt Enable and Supervision System;
isolation of the Tilt Enable and Supervision System.
FUNCTION OF TILTING TRAIN
The tilting train us like an absorber for a train
It can stabilize the train when across a junction in a rail ways in
high speed
The tilting train can be perform more handling when in a rail ways
Tilting train also can be passenger comfortable from motion
sickness
reduced train speed, possibly temporary during periods of
risk of storms
protect the actual installment equipment in track section
from crosswinds
Taking other necessary steps to prevent vehicles
overturning.
WHERE TILTING SYSTEM ARE USED
Ladle tilting
tilting system three
wheeled vehicle
Cab tilting
system
CONCLUSION
Tilting Train Control is an important mechanism for
technology nowadays
It is use widely in the railroad industry from the beginning
of the train manufacture. without tilting train control, the
passengers will experience motion sickness and
equipment that is damaged when the train will be brought
to speeding and in cornering situation it also stabilize the
train when it in high speed.
