Carbody tilting is today a mature and inexpensive technology allowing higher speeds in
curves and thus reduced travel time. The technology is accepted by many train operators …

This paper presents a novel active suspension control configuration for high speed tilting
railway vehicles which integrates tilt with active lateral secondary suspension. The use of the …

PID control design using optimized modified Ziegler-Nichols tuning is for active suspensions
of tilting nature is presented. The study of this refers to non-precedent tilt active suspensions …

Active suspensions utilise control systems technology in order to provide a step change in
performance of the dynamic characteristics of railway suspensions, and this chapter is an …

The paper deals with the application of active control to high speed trains. To this end, an
innovative controlled electro-mechanical device was designed to substitute traditional yaw …

This chapter uses a railway vehicle as an example of a mechanical dynamic system to which
control can be applied in a manner that yields significant benefits from an engineering and …

Trains that tilt on curves can go faster, but passengers complain of motion sickness. We
studied the control signals and tilts to determine why this occurs and how to maintain speed …

The interaction between the railway vehicle body roll and lateral dynamics substantially
influences the tilting system performance in high-speed tilting trains, which results in a …

When trains were first introduced as a means of mass transportation they were successful
due to the fast and reliable services they offered. Since then, the advanced automobile …

Active tilt control is a well established technology in modern railway vehicles. This paper
presents work on a set of novel strategies for achieving local (or vehicle-based) tilt control. A …
