Tilting trains can reach speeds of 200–250 km/h. They can compensate for the forces passengers experience when rounding curves at high speeds. This is achieved by tilting the carriages into the curve of the track using a combination of sensors and train-tilting computers.  Here are some examples of tilting trains: Pendolino: This high-speed tilting train was first launched in Italy in 1976. It can travel at speeds up to 250 km/h on conventional tracks. New Pendolino: This 250 km/h tilting train can be equipped with the "anticipative" Tiltronix. It also incorporates new technological...
