Abstract

Over 12 years have passed since the first commercial operation of a Korean high-speed train. Since then, the transport capacity of the high-speed lines has become almost saturated. Therefore, studies have been carried out to increase the operating speed of the trains in order to increase their transportation capacity. This study was carried out to improve the critical speed of the KTX-Sancheon, Korean high-speed train, in order to increase its operating speed. A dynamic analysis of the KTX-Sancheon train was performed using the contact data obtained from the wheel wear profiles that were measured from a KTX-Sancheon train in commercial operation. The analysis results were verified by comparing them with the measurement acceleration data obtained from KTX-Sancheon. The suspension parameters were optimized to improve the operation speed. The critical speed of KTX-Sancheon was increased by 9.4% after the optimization by the response surface method. The optimized suspension parameters are expected to be used for the new bogie design to increase the operating speed of KTX-Sancheon from 300km/h to 350km/h.

국내에 고속열차가 도입된 지 12년이 지났고, 국내기술로 개발된 KTX-산천도 운행한지 6년 정도 되었다. 호남선 고속철도의 개통으로 현재 국내 고속선로의 수송용량은 거의 포화상태가 되었고, 이에 따라 수송용량을 증대하기 위하여 열차의 운행속도를 높이는 연구 등 다양한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 본 연구는 그 중 일부로 KTX-산천 고속열차의 운행속도를 350km/h로 높이기 위하여 열차의 임계속도를 향상시키기 위해 수행되었다. KTX와 KTX-산천 영업운행 차량에서 측정된 차륜마모 데이터를 이용하여 KTX-산천 편성 모델에 대한 동역학해석을 수행하였고, KTX-산천 영업차량에서 측정된 진동가속도 측정결과와의 비교를 통하여 해석결과의 타당성을 검증하였다. 고속열차의 운행속도 향상을 위하여 열차의 임계속도 향상을 목표로 대차 주요 현가장치 파라미터에 대한 최적화 연구를 수행하였다. 민감도 분석을 통해 최적화를 위한 주요 현가장치 파라미터를 선정하였고, 반응표면분석법에 의해 2차 회귀 모형 함수를 추정하였다. 2차의 목적함수를 최소화시키는데 있어서 효율적인 성능을 발휘하는 SQP 방법을 사용하여 최적화를 수행한 결과 KTX-산천의 임계속도가 9.4%정도 증가함을 확인하였다. 최적화된 현가장치 파라미터는 KTX-산천 영업속도를 300km/h에서 350km/h로 향상시키기 위한 신규대차 설계 시 반영될 예정이다.
