3. Integration of active tilting
The previous section described how, due to both the carbody tilting movements and the presence on board of complex command and control systems, integration of a tilting system into a railway vehicle requires particular care and attention. This process must take into account all relevant interfaces, i.e. track, loading gauge, catenary (for electric trains) and signalling and their main constraints and parameters.
3.1 General
Tilting trains usually operate on tracks which have been designed and built for conventional trains. Tilting technology allows an increase in the speed level on existing lines, as explained in the next section, which results in tilting trains behaving differently in comparison to conventional ones, adding an additional train operation mode...
