Investigation of Improvement Scheme for the Curve Sections on the Conventional Line Prepared for the Tilting Train Service

틸팅열차 상용화대비 기존선 곡선구간 개량방안 검토

The major objective of this study is to investigate the effective improvement plan for the curve sections in the conventional lines which the tilting train runs on. In order to the speed-up of conventional lines that have many curve lines, there needs a improvement construction of substructure such as the straight or double track work and so on. But in this case, it needs to have a plenty of the cost and the period. Therefore, the tilting train which provides the high-speed service effectively in curve tracks and is operating at abroad, was been studying to be suited to natural features. So, in this paper we investigate the improvement method at the sections only where need the extension of the transition curves, and the present status of them for the effective tiling train service using results which were examined on the preceding study which was the development of track system innovation technology for speed-up of them. And we look forward to playing a decisive role as reference material for the decision of the linear fitness in order to operate effectively on the conventional lines for the commercial service of the tilting train, on the basis of checking out the sufficient condition concerned in the track alignment and the velocity which are required in the railway construction rules and the design criteria.
