A Study on the Assessment of Derailment Factor for the Enhancement of Train Running Safety

열차 주행안전성 향상을 위한 탈선계수 평가에 대한 연구

This paper estimates the derailment factor of running train on the curved track. To estimate the derailment factor, wheel loads and lateral forces of train are measured on the track. The selected measuring points are the 400R and the 600R in the Honam line, the 300R and the 400R in the Janghang line, respectively. The derailment factors are evaluated from the wheel loads and lateral forces which are measured on the all axles of running trains.
