The influence of track geometrical irregularities in small-radius curves on tilting trains curving at high cant deficiencies

High speed curving is essential for fast train services in the mountainous country of Norway. During 1993and 1996, succesful trials with the X2 (swedish tilting train X2000) and VT610 (Pendolino) tilting trainsets were carried out, and measured track forces were found to be acceptable. As a result of these positive...
