Development of a calculation method for the wind gust speed applied to tilting trains in curves
Last updated on 11 September 2017 9:02
Tilting trains are designed to be operated through curves at higher cant deficiencies than non-tilting trains. This allows them to be operated at higher speeds, but reduces the safety margin before the potential onset of overturning. This makes such trains more susceptible to overturning in high winds, unless suitable controls...
