A study on tilting system control of tilting express train in Korea conventional line

Abstract

Tilting train has the car body, bogie structure and suspension system which are different from existing rolling stock, and tilting system. A tilting train which is suitable for domestic environment was designed with a car made of ultra light nonflammable composite material, instead of existing aluminum car. Thus car body of tilting train shall be subject to constant maintenance to ensure the long lifespan and safe operation. The core part of the tilting train is the mechanical part such as rolling stock and car body and particularly, the coupler of the car body made of new composite material and shape recovery from partial damage are the subjects to be resolved in maintenance.
