SYNOPSIS
With the invention of new technologies in various features of the railway transportation the human beings are more benefited.
One of the technology that the railway engineers thinking is about the “THE TILTING TRAINS”, which provide the passengers and the goods to reach the destination with a minimum time.
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.
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.
CONTENTS
1. Introduction
2. Problem with corners
3. What is tilting train?
4. Why tilting helps?
5. How do trains tilt?
6. Problems associated in tilting the track
7. Passenger comfort ness
8. Countries who developed the tilting technology
9. Advantages and Disadvantages of tilting trains
10. Summary
11. Bibliography
INTRODUCTION
Train is a mass transporter, which transports humans and goods from one place to another place. We have trains, which run by diesel and electricity. Among goods and passenger trains the most concerned one is passenger trains.
The passenger train should move quickly with high speeds. The rail road will not be always straight it should pass through curves and turns. We all know that if you are driving in your car and you take a turning at speed you feel centrifugal forces. Well it is no different from
