ëOne of the technology that the railway engineers thinking is
about the ³THE TILTING TRAINS´, which provide the
passengers and the goods to reach the destination with a
minimum time.

ë The technology involved in TILTING TRAIN is that when

ever the trains pass over the curves and turnings of the railway
tracks the compartments of the train is tilted to a certain angle
by which the trains can travel with no reduction in speed.

ë By adopting this technology of TILTING TRAINS the fuel

consumed by the trains can be saved ,the passengers can feel
comfort and also time can be saved.

a function of

Ô Tilting trains are those trains which

consists of tilting mechanism in
which the coaches are tilted
sideways to a certain angle
depending on the curve of the track
ÔThese trains are constructed such that inertial
forces which cause the tilting can be controlled by
a computer.

ÔIf the trains travel at speeds more than the

specified speeds at the turnings of the railway
tracks their will be centrifugal forces acting on the
train. Due to these centrifugal forces the train may
slip and push out of the tracks.

ÔBut in case of tilting trains which will not happen,

because of the reason that centrifugal forces will be
compensated by tilting mechanism.

 The above two forces will exert a resultant
force on the trains as well as on the
passengers.
 Neutralization of the resultant force can be
done by tilting the trains.
