틸팅 및 일반열차 설계기준에 따른 철도개량 건설비용 비교

Infrastructure costs could be greatly reduced if the need for bridges and tunnels was reduced, or if the line could be shortened. Tilting trains might be a less costly alternative to building new tracks with large curve radii, because tilting trains can navigate tighter curves without having to decrease their speeds. Tracks built for tilting trains would be cheaper, as they require fewer bridges and tunnels, and they have shorter line lengths. This paper will calculate track alignment with design standard for a tilting train, and compare the infrastructure costs with those of non-tilting train.
