Abstract

A method of evaluating the optimal alignment range while considering ride comfort when performing line renewal of curved tracks for speed-up is proposed in this study. The proposed method was applied to analyze the optimal renewal range for horizontal alignments with the smallest curve radii in the Kyung-Bu high-speed line; a parametric study on the effects of various initial design conditions on the permissible renewal range and optimal alignment range was also performed. From the analysis results, it was found that the permissible range is enhanced in proportion to the increase in the curve radius and the cant. It was also verified that a slight adjustment of the horizontal alignment enables speed-up even in the case of R7000/R8000, placed in the ballasted track section of the Kyung-Bu high-speed line.

본 연구에서는 기존선 속도향상을 위한 곡선부 개량 시 승차감을 고려한 최적평면선형범위에 대한 평가방안을 제시하였다. 또한 다양한 선형설계 초기조건들이 허용개량범위와 승차감 측면에서 최적선형 범위에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 매개변수 해석을 수행하였다. 이와 더불어 현재 경부고속선에 부설되어 있는 선형조건들 중 가장 작은 곡선반경을 가진 평면선형들에 대하여 최적 개량범위를 검토하였다. 해석결과, 주요 초기선형설계변수인 곡선반경과 캔트가 클수록 허용개량범위와 최적선형범위가 넓어짐을 알 수 있었으며, 경부고속선 자갈도상구간에 부설되어 있는 R7000/R8000의 경우에도 선형측면에서는 약간의 개량으로도 속도향상이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
