COMFORT MONITORING METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A TILTING TRAIN

摘要

Using a lateral acceleration measurement to which passengers are subjected in a passenger car of a tilting train, a comparison to an acceptable level of lateral acceleration is made. As a result of this comparison, the control of the tilting system is altered. The tilting system can be shut down automatically, on a car-to-car basis, or manually using the tilting system controller. Passenger comfort will be increased since detection of abnormal operation of the tilting system will be performed rapidly.
