Abstract
Developing tilting train to increase train speed on the existing railway line is economical and efficient.The key to the increased speeds lies in a bogie design that allows wheel axles to move independently.Unlike conventional trains,these radial self steering wheel axles reduce track forces resulting in a substantail increase in operating speed on curves.The paper discusses the advantage of developing the tilting train on the existing railway lines from the view of economy and technology.
