The Study of Tilting Control Hardware System for TTX(Tilting Train eXpress)

TTX 차량 틸팅제어를 위한 하드웨어 시스템 기술연구

Tilting trains are now an established feature of railway operations throughout the world. For intercity traffic, tilt provides operators with increasing speeds, and therefore enhanced competitiveness, on existing routes where insufficient traffic or a lack of funds precludes the construction of a dedicated new high-speed railway. Appling the tilting train, we can expect $30\%$ of speed up on existing lines, but the stability of the electric current would be low because of tilting the train. Also, the spark between the catenary and pantograph cause environmental problems such as noise, radio wave malfunction. Therefore, the tilting on pantograph for the power suppling device is very essential for stable electric power supply.
