METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INCLINATION OF VEHICLE BODY OF RAILWAY VEHICLE, AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING INCLINATION OF VEHICLE BODY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems of prior arts by devising a switching timing in a manner to smoothly exhaust air from an air spring or supply air from an air source to the air spring when a mode is switched from a vehicle body inclination control mode for freely changing the inclination of the vehicle body to a floor height control mode for controlling the floor height of the vehicle body to a reference height so as to prevent rapid change of air pressure in the air spring.;SOLUTION: In this vehicle inclination controlling method, a floor height control mode for controlling the floor height of the vehicle body to a reference height is switched to a vehicle inclination control mode for freely changing the inclination of the vehicle body. When the mode is switched from the vehicle body inclination control mode to the floor height control mode, the floor height control mode is validated before the vehicle inclination control mode is invalidated, so as to temporarily validate both of the control modes.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
