  2. 1. Tilting trains : Technology, benefits and motion sickness

    Author : Rickard Persson; Evert Andersson; Karl Kottenhoff; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; tilting trains; motion sickness; ride comfort; running time; track geometry; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : Carbody tilting is today a mature and inexpensive technology allowing higher speeds in curves and thus reduced travel time. The technology is accepted by most train operators, but a limited set of issues still holding back the full potential of tilting trains. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tilting trains : Enhanced benefits and strategies for less motion sickness

    Author : Rickard Persson; Mats Berg; Björn Kufver; Simon Iwnicki; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; tilting trains; running time; ride comfort; motion sickness; tilt control; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik; Järnvägsgruppen - Gröna tåget; Järnvägsgruppen - Gröna tåget;

    Abstract : Carbody tilting is today a mature and inexpensive technology that allows higher train speeds in horizontal curves, thus shortening travel time. This doctoral thesis considers several subjects important for improving the competitiveness of tilting trains compared to non-tilting ones. READ MORE

  5. 3. Ride comfort and motion sickness in tilting trains

    Author : Johan Förstberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tilting train; Ride comfort; Motion sickness; Simulator; Experiments;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a systematic study of human responses to different motions and strategies of car body tilt control regarding ride comfort, working/reading ability and motion sickness on high-speed tilting trains. Experiments with test subjects were performed in a tilting train on curved track as well as in a moving vehicle simulator. READ MORE

  6. 4. Simulation of rail traffic : applications with timetable construction and delay modelling

    Author : Hans Sipilä; Bo-Lennart Nelldal; Anders Holst; Jan Ekman; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis covers both applications where simulation is used on parts of the Swedish rail networks and running time calculations for future high-speed trains with top speed improvements on existing lines. Calculations are part of a subproject within the Green Train research program (Gröna tåget). READ MORE
