Abstract

Maintenance and repair devices used for the inspection of the main parts of domestic railway vehicles have been imported from abroad. Especially, one of the representative domestic devices, the 'Wheel Profile Inspector System (WPIS)', was made by benchmarking foreign devices; this vehicle has been operated in the field. However, problems such as the reliability and performance of the WPIS in operation have appeared. In this study, in order to improve the precision and reliability of the WPIS for maintenance and inspection of railway vehicle wheels, the researchers improved the railway vehicle's WPIS by applying high-speed vision camera technology and an optimized image algorithm. The test results show that the reliability of the developed WPIS improved by approximately 10.4% compared to that of the conventional system.

현재 국내 철도차량에 사용되고 있는 주요 부품의 유지와 보수를 위한 검사장비는 대부분 외국으로부터 수입하여 사용하고 있다. 특히 차륜형상 측정장비 등과 같은 일부 검사장비는 외국의 장비를 벤치 마킹하여 제작한 국산화 장비를 설치하여 사용하고 있으나, 이들 국산화 장비는 신뢰성과 성능에 많은 문제점이 발생하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 철도차량 차륜의 유지 및 보수를 위한 차륜형상 측정장치의 정밀도와 신뢰도 향상을 위하여 최신의 고속 하이비젼 카메라 기술과 최적화된 영상처리 알고리즘을 적용하여 차륜형상 측정시스템을 개발하였다. 신뢰성 평가 실험결과 개발된 차륜형상 측정시스템의 신뢰도는 기존 시스템에 비하여 약 10.4%의 신뢰도 향상 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.
