(in m/s2)

Tilting Pendolino characteristics:

Alstom tilting trains operate  Up to 2 m/s2 non compensated acceleration (n.c.a.) at track level
within the normal track limits  Up to 30% speed gain in curve
(force, acceleration, etc.)
No need for special track design Lateral acceleration compared to non-tilting train:
 Perceived 33% less by passenger  more comfort
ALSTOM - 11/10/2018 – P 9
 100% more at track level  higher speed in curve

Pendolino Titling system is composed of :

 Bogies fitted with a Tilting Bolster, supporting the carbody

 Hydraulic units & actuators, controlling the tilting bolster

 Tilting Pantograph (if installed on a tilting car)

 Anticipative algorithms (TILTRONIX™) processed by dedicated

electronics, improving passengers comfort compared to a
reactive system.

Complex carbody kinematics of Pendolino for

SAFETY
• Gauge compliance
• Stability : self-centering independently of the load and
non-compensated acceleration.
COMFORT
• Stability
• Belly-centered rotation (height of the Center of Instant
Rotation close to the body center of the passengers)
TRACK FRIENDLINESS
Minimum wear related to limited wheel-rail contact force :
• Limited movement of carbody Center-of-Gravity
• Reduction of non-suspended masses
• Low primary suspended masses
• Designed for high cant deficiency
• Reduced bogie rotation stiffness

The challenge

During decades Alstom evolved the tilting technology

 To guarantee outstanding safety: self-centering architecture…
 To improve reliability: high redundancy, onboard autonomy…
 To ensure track friendliness: lowest unsprung mass, passive axle orientation…
 To ride at maximum speed: we offer maximum n.c.a. possible
 To offer best comfort: belly-centered rotation, active control…

So, how can we still improve it ?

 There are still few passengers affected by motion sickness if we run slower:
There’s always a population sensible to motion sickness. The occurrence is low in
railways, with just a 10-15% increase when running 30% faster on tilting trains.
 The new challenge: reduce motion sickness perceived by passengers

Tiltronix™ is the answer again to motion sickness :

Even when running faster,

Tiltronix can result in less
kinetosis occurrence than on
non-tilting trains

Tiltronix medical validation was performed in October 2009 with 250 people recruited by SBB,
50% of them being known to be susceptible to Kinetosis (motion sickness)
