Attributes:
  • actuation: Describes how the tilting is performed. This attribute is used to further express the capabilities of tilting technology the vehicle is able to support. (optional; xs:string)
Possible values:
  • active: With active tilting technology, hydraulic actuating cylinders (hydraulic cylinders) or an electric actuator (electric motor with high-reduction gear and spindle drive that converts the rotational movement of the electric motor into a linear movement) ensure that the car bodies deflect. The tilt angle can be up to 8.6°. The classic solution with hydraulics always harbors the latent environmental risk of the typical leaks in the hydraulic cylinders.
  • none
  • passive: With passive tilting technology, the car bodies are suspended above their center of gravity on raised extensions of the chassis support. As a result, they swing outwards in the lower area due to centrifugal force and inwards in the upper area. The vibrations are calmed by damping elements. The tilt angle is limited to 3.5°. This means that the speed gain when cornering is also significantly lower than with active systems.
  • rollCompensation: Compared to other double-decker trains, the Twindexx Swiss Express is distinguished above all by a variant of the tilting technology, called WAKO (active roll compensation[25]). This roll compensation is intended to prevent the car body from tilting outwards in curves, thus allowing higher speeds in curves. In contrast to active tilting technology, which allows up to 8° of tilt, this is only 2°. In contrast to active systems, the WAKO is said to be very fail-safe due to the lower technical complexity of the system [Wikipedia].,

  • maxTiltingAngle: Describes the maximum tilting angle of the vehicle. This attribute is used to further express the capabilities of the tilting technology the enclosing vehicle is able to support. This may be used to allow the selection of the right speed profile since raised speeds in curves usually depend on the tilting angle among other aspects.

    Please note that the effective maximum tilting angle must be given here. So for a vehicle with 8 degree maximum car body tilting angle at standstill and 1 degree range of spring play, the maximum effective value is 7 degree. (optional; xs:decimal),

  • maxTiltingSpeed: Describes the maximum tilting speed of the vehicle. This attribute is used to further express the capabilities of the tilting technology the enclosing vehicle is able to support. This may be used to allow the selection of the right speed profile since raised speeds in curves usually depend on the tilting speed among other aspects. (optional; xs:decimal)
*Notice:
Elements may have different parent elements. As a consequence they may be used in different contexts.
Please, consider this as well as a user of this wiki as when developing this documentation further.
Aspects that are only relevant with respect to one of several parents should be explained exclusively in the documentation of the respective parent element.
