  SBB-CFF-FFS RABDe 500 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ICN (short for Intercity-Neigezug, German for Intercity Tilting Train), Series SBB RABDe 500, is a Swiss high-speed train which debuted on May 28, 2000, in time for Expo.02 held in western Switzerland in 2002.
The ICN came into service with a delay caused by the lack of supplies from ADtranz.
The ICN is an emu - there is no locomotive in the classical sense.

 Railway Technology - Swiss Tilting Trains Modernisation Programme, Switzerland
SBB drew up a series of timetable requirements, and then set out a performance specification for its new trains, covering the number of seats, vehicle layout and the required power ratings, among other criteria.
ICN’s tilt capability, higher top speed and line improvements allow the trains to cover the Lausanne-Zurich leg in the same time as locomotive-hauled trains taking the considerably shorter route via Bern.
SBB has committed itself to a long-term vision of rail travel in Switzerland, entailing major efficiency improvements over the system as operated in the final years of the 20th century.

 ERTMS/ETCS installation in full swing - European Signalling: Switzerland International Railway Journal - Find Articles
SBB awarded a contract in 2002 to a consortium of Alstom and Stadler to signal the 45km Mattstetten-Rothrist line and the 10km connection to Solothurn, and to install ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 train-control equipment on about 460 units of rolling stock.
Stadler, which has strong local experience and long-term partnerships with SBB and other Swiss railways, is responsible for designing the implementation of the onboard equipment and for its installation and validation, together with Alstom.
SBB has agreed with Alstom to allow more time than initially envisaged for the installation and commissioning phases of ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 on the Mattstetten-Rothrist line.

Tilting is a system where the passenger cars automatically lean into curves, reducing the centrifugal forces acting on passengers and permitting higher speeds on curves in the track with greater passenger comfort.
"SBB, the operator of Switzerland's rail network has implemented major improvements in the services it offers to its rapidly-growing passenger base, centred on the introduction of a fleet of new tilting trains.
Many services are being increased in frequency to half-hourly, as a result of infrastructure improvements, and have benefitted from the introduction of 24 new tilting trains, which were supplied by a consortium of major manufacturers comprising Adtranz (now Bombardier), Curtiss Wright Antriebstechnik GmbH and Schindler Waggon.

 Railway Technology - Tilting Trains Technology - United Kingdom
The seven-car trains have allowed SBB to introduce a half-hourly frequency between Lausanne and Zurich.
Locomotive-hauled trains have been retained on the shorter, faster route via Bern, but line improvements and the tilt capability of the ICN mean that the same journey time can now be achieved on the longer Pied du Jura route via Neuchatel.
After a long and often difficult introduction the 24 trains are now operating as they should and SBB has confirmed that it has ordered a further ten, with an option for another ten if required.

Back on the Jingshen Freeway, it was even faster, with speeds nearing 200 km/h, relegating the ICN to the dustbin — and to the history books.
There were more trucks, but they were easy to deal with — they stayed on the rightmost lane.

A R E - Verification of forecasting methods for passenger transport
The principal aim of the study was to use a network-based transport model to predict the impact on demand of introducing intercity tilting-trains (ICNs) and then to verify the results on the basis of an ex ante/ex post analysis.
The limits and possibilities of three data sources for forecasting (revealed and stated preference data and various direct elasticities) are discussed and the results of the forecasts checked for their plausibility.
