Cant Deficiency for given maximum theoretical cant

The Cant deficiency for given maximum theoretical cant is defined as the difference between the actual cant provided and equilibrium cant necessary for the maximum speed on a curve. Cant deficiency means the additional height, which if added to the outer rail in a curve, at the designated vehicle speed, would provide a single resultant force, due to the combined effects of weight and centrifugal force on the vehicle, having a direction perpendicular to the plane of the track.
