 Easiest way to test how fast a train can go through a curve is to simply test it, but it can also be counted by taking:
-the base curve speed table, and multiplying it by monorail or maglev bonus (50 or 100%)  and/or tilt bonus (20%), and eventually also short wagons need to be considered as they can travel through curves faster. The short wagon bonus is about the same as tilt for NUTS short wagons (half the length of full length wagon)

 From observation, half length wagons get about 20% bonus so it is something like if they had tilt. Those two bonuses stack however, so the combined bonus can be around 40%.
