It is based on data from field investigation of all curves in conventional line. In general, all curves have transition parts in the beginning and end of the main curve in order to improve the passengers comfort. The speed-up of conventional line may need an extention of transition curves. This paper checked out whether the transition curve should be modified or not and how to lengthen it. Then the maximum train speeds in curve prior to and after the modification of transition curve were evaluated. INTRODUCTION For the speed-up of conventional lines, the development of new trains with tilting concept is under way[1,2]. Tilting trains have the advantage to run faster than conventional lines through tilting control. However, it is true that conventional lines have plenty of obstacles on terrain and line structure which limits the train speed. To improve the speed with tilting trains, the interrelation tilting trains and track alignment should be reviewed. That is, the target speed on the curve should be decided, and we should assume appropriate line conditions based on that, then we should lengthen transition
