A tilting train is a train that has a mechanism enabling increased speed on regular rail tracks. As a train (or other vehicle) rounds a curve at speed, objects inside the train experience centrifugal force. This can cause packages to slide about or seated passengers to feel squashed by the outboard armrest, and standing passengers to lose their balance. Tilting trains are designed to counteract this; by tilting the carriages towards the inside of the curve it compensates for the g-force. The train may be constructed such that inertial forces cause the tilting (passive tilt), or it may have a computer-controlled powered mechanism (active tilt). * The first passive tilting car design was built in the US in 1937, and an improved version was built in 1939. The opening of WWII ended development. Talgo introduced a version based on their articulated bogie design in 1950s, and this concept saw use on a number of commercial services. Among these was the UAC TurboTrain, which entered service in 1968 in the USA and Canada, the similar Fiat Pendolino which entered service the next year, and the Japanese 381 series in 1973. All of these had problems with short curves like those in switchyards, where they tended to sway about. Also, because of the way the carriages always swung outward, they placed more weight on the outside of the curve, which limited their improvement in corner speed to about 20%. * Starting in the late 1960s, British Rail began experiments with their Advanced Passenger Train (APT) which pioneered the active-tilt concept. This used hydraulic rams on the bottoms of the carriages to tilt them, rotating them around their center point rather than swinging outward. This had the advantage of keeping the carriage centred over the bogies, which reduced load on the rails, and could be turned off when navigating switches. Due to lengthy delays, the APT did not begin test runs until 1981 and entered commercial service only briefly in 1985. By this time, the Canadian LRC design had become the first active tilting train to enter full commercial service, starting with Via Rail in 1981. * Fiat purchased the APT patents in 1982, and has used them on a number of designs as the (new) Pendolino. The concept of active tilt as a whole has been independently developed by many companies. Active tilting systems are widely used today. |
