摘要

A railway vehicle (F) having a variable trim body (1), comprising two bogies (2, 2) with respective swinging transverse members (5) pivotally connected to the body (1), and a control system for controlling roll of the body (1) about its longitudinal axis, by means of linear actuators (11) interposed between the swinging transverse members (5) and the opposite sides of the body (1) and operated through a regulation electronic unit (5) connected to first transducer means (16) detecting the non-compensated centrifugal acceleration acting on the body (1), and to second transducer means comprising at least two angular transducers (17) for detecting the momentary relative angle between each swinging transverse member (5) and the body (1).
