Abstract

A study on smart seats for railroad vehicles was conducted using piezoelectric (PZT) sensors. For this purpose, the concept of passenger friendly smart seats was defined, and a PZT sensor was selected as the optimum sensor based on this concept. Using PZT sensors, simulation tests were performed using a sub-scale model railroad vehicle. In these tests, the main functions of the smart seats were extracted and simplified to improve the effectiveness of the simulation tests. Based on the test results, the system for smart seats proposed in this paper was successfully verified using PZT sensors and the dedicated operation software for the system. This paper will contribute to the improvement of services in high-speed rail systems through advances in ticket checking tasks.

본 연구에서는 압전소자를 이용한 철도차량용 스마트 좌석 기술에 대한 적용성을 검토하였다. 이를 위해 스마트 좌석 기술에 대한 개념을 정립하였고, 실제 철도차량용 좌석을 단순화한 축소 모형을 제작하여 압전소자를 적용한 후 스마트 좌석의 기능에 대한 시뮬레이션 시험을 수행하였다. 시험을 통해, 본 연구에서 제안한 실시간 착석 확인 및 도착알림기능이 포함된 압전소자기반 스마트 좌석 시스템의 실현 가능성을 검증하였다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 실용화를 통해 검토 업무 효율화를 통한 고소철도 서비스의 질적 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
