Basic design of Tilting Bogie for Korean Tilting Train(TTX) with the Speed of 180km/h

180km/h급 한국형 틸팅차량의 대차 기본설계 연구

Tilting bogie system allow the train to pass curve at higher speed without affecting passenger comfort. As the tilting trains offer the optimum means of providing faster and more comfortable rail service with minimum of environmental disturbance and capital investment, more than 14 countries have now adopted or are about to adopt tilting train technology. The Korean National Railroad is also planing to apply faster tilting train to the areas where the High speed rail service are not provided. This paper describes the basic design and dynamic analysis of Bogie for 180 km/h Korean Tilting Train(TTX), which was done as a part of the Korean National R&D project.
