A tilting
car is a special type of automobile that has the ability to change the angle
between the road and the bottom of the passenger cabin in such way that there
are reduced horizontal forces while driving through a curve. It may be 3 or 4
wheeler. These narrow track cars have an increased rolling tendency. The use of
tilting mechanism in automobile would decrease the rate of accidents due to
slippage. It will give better dynamic stability as well as directional
stability to the vehicle, better road grip, and better comfort to the
passengers, and the most important load carrying capacity of vehicle increases.
In our project work we have tried to develop a tilting mechanism for the
vehicle. This feature enables the vehicle to tilt in to the curve while negotiating
it. The method we have used is a simple mechanical tilting system by using the
shock absorbers. This tilting mechanism if successful would dramatically
increase the maximum speed in curves. This would also provide the advantages of
increased passenger comfort and handling. In order to develop a tilting
mechanism for a narrow track car to give it the flexibility of a motor cycle.
This can be operated on reduced lanes thereby increasing the effective capacity
of highways.
