Design of a Tilting Mechanism for a Narrow Tilting Car to Increase the Maximum Speed in Curves

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.
