A Double Deck EMU Train System for the Korean Railroad Network
국내실정을 고려한 2층 전동차 차량시스템 기초연구
Abstract
Several countries such as Japan, France and so on gradually operate double deck trains as efficient, reliable and comfortable mass transportation systems. However, the double deck trains have relatively big cross sectional areas and high mass centers that cause unsafe vehicle running performances and interface problems between the vehicles and infrastructures, and do not have enough spaces for electric equipments. Therefore, prior to operate double deck trains on the existing lines in Korea, careful investigations should be performed. In this study, we have roughly designed a double deck EMU train system for the existing lines around Seoul metropolitan area.
