The dynamics of the pantograph motion and contact forces of the high-speed railway are investigated through signals. acquired during a test run. The signals are obtained from accelerometers, load cells, and strain gauges attached to various positions of the pantograph, and they are processed in time-and frequency-domains to evaluate the dynamic characteristics and load forces. The natural frequencies of the pantograph is found to be 8.5Hz. There also are frequency components varying linearly with the train speed. The signal frequency components above 40Hz are attenuated as they pass through the primary and secondary suspensions.

Generally, subway runs under the ground, so it uses rigid contact wire. Pantograph and contact wire, they have effect on the contact force each other. This paper is on the dynamic interaction of a pantograph and rigid contact wire system. For this we developed simulation program of current collecting capability for dynamic interaction for pantograph and rigid contact wire. As a result, we got contact force and displacement between pantograph and rigid contact wire. This paper shows the possibility of better pantograph's suspension design and better maintaining of current collecting capability than present when suspention of pantograph is developed by theoretic result.

The running safety of the rolling stock depends on the design characteristics and the contact condition between wheel and railway. In this study, the effect of the conicity of wheel tread on the running safety is analyzed. The modal analysis results in
$0.5\~0.6Hz$ natural frequency with lateral modes. However, the frequency analysis for the running simulation shows the frequency components near 1Hz. The running simulation shows that the KTX with GV40 wheel has less lateral vibration than that of XP55 as the KTX goes higher speed. -
In this paper, the ride comfort of a passenger coach installed with a KT23 type bogie was measured and evaluated through field test in operation routes. The ride comfort level was evaluated and analysed by ISO method and DIC method that were applied generally at railway fields. Particularly three evaluation methods, i.e., a simple method, a full standing method, and a full seating method of UIC513R standard, were fully applied to evaluate the ride quality. Also the vertical and lateral vibration levels on the floor were evaluated by peak-to-peak analysis method.

Among welded structure bogies in use for high speed freight car, a part of bogies manufactured in 1999 and 2000 have found problems that failure occurs in its end beam. In case of a freight car a difference of weight between empty and loading conditions are worse than in case of a passenger car. Moreover its brake system is tread brake without second suspension system. A failure of end beam is supposed to be due to loading by brake rather than vertical loading by freight. This failure can make brake system useless and may be a cause of derailment in the worst case. In this study, we have proposed a simple torsion-free brake shoe holder hanger to remove torsion of hanger bracket which is supposed to be one of causes of failure and performed finite element analyses for making trial manufactures and its application.

In this paper, the structural strengths of a rolling stock seat were numerically evaluated under several design load conditions based on the UIC requirements. The rolling stock seat was designed for the high speed train of a Chinese conventional line. To maximize its weight reduction and structural strength, some aluminium alloys like 6N01-T5 and ALDC8-T5 were applied to the base frame, side frame and armrest. The designed seat frame satisfied the strength requirements on inertia loads due to accelerations, and fatigue test conditions. However, it violated the requirements on the static test of UIC 566 OR. Some design modifications were suggested and numerically evaluated to satisfy the static test requirements.

The residual stresses and. distortions of structures by welding exert negative effect on the safety of railroad structures. This investigation performs a thermal elasto-plastic analysis using finite element techniques to evaluate residual stresses in butted-welded joint. Considering this initial residual stresses, local stress and strain at the critical location (weld toe) during the loading were analyzed by elastic plastic finite element analysis. Fatigue crack initiation life and fatigue crack propagation life of butt-welded specimen were predicted by local strain approach and Neuber's role and Paris law. It is demonstrated that fatigue life estimates by local strain approach closely approximate the experimental results.

A fictitious crack model was used to analyze fatigue crack growth under the influence of residual stress. In the fictitious crack model, crack is represented in terms of the separation of two adjacent interfaces and the constitutive equation between the separation and traction is assumed. The effect of fatigue loading was included in the constitutive equation by considering damage accumulation in the cohesive zone. To investigate the effect of the residual stress on the fatigue crack growth, we calculated the residual stress distribution due to transient heat flux to the specimen by finite element method. Fatigue crack growth was simulated by the fictitious crack model with repeated loading. The mode-I crack growth rates were compared for the cases with and without the compressive residual stress around the crack tip. It was observed that the mode-I crack growth can be suppressed by compressive residual stress.

Among rail defects, the transverse crack, which has been the most dangerous fatigue damage, is developed from shelling near the rail running face and grows perpendicular to the rail surface. Moreover, the crack has occurred frequently fatigue damage during winter. Therefore, to assure the safety of railway vehicles, it is necessary to investigate growth behavior of transverse crack for rail steel. In this study, fatigue crack growth behavior of rail steel and its gas pressure welded part at room and low temperature are performed. The fatigue crack growth rate of the welded part was lower than that of the base part within a lower
${\Delta}K$ region at both room and low temperature, and this difference decreases with increasing the${\Delta}K$ due to the decrease of the fracture toughness. -
In many countries such as Japan, France and so on, the number of double-deck trains has been dramatically increased for the purpose of public traffic. Several researchers have performed feasiblilty studies related to the operations of double deck rolling stock vehicles in Korea since 2001. In recent years, rolling stock vehicles are required to have light weight to save energy consumption and maintenance costs. For these reasons, the standard EMU vehicle developed by KRRI and Kwan-Ju EMU(Electric Multi Unit) are made of aluminum extruded panels. The concept model of a double-deck rolling stock vehicle investigated in this study is also designed to use AEP(Aluminum Extruded Panel). In this paper, the methods related to the structural strength improvements of the car body are proposed through careful modifications of thicknesses and shapes of AEP.

The use of composite materials for the carbody structures of tilting train has many advantages because of manufacturing variety, specific high-strength & stiffness characteristics, and long-life durability, but the strongest advantage is the possibility of lightweight product. In the leading countries, the composite materials are used for the material for drivers' cabs, interior/exterior equipments for railway train, and it is now developing the composite materials applied for the train carbody structure. In this paper, we conducted the evaluation of structural stability for the all aluminum carbody, all composite carbody and hybrid carbody structures of the Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX) with the service speed of 180km/h.

In case of a freight car a difference of weight between empty and loading conditions are worse than in case of a passenger car. Moreover its brake system is tread brake without second suspension system. A failure of end beam is supposed to be due to loading by brake rather than vertical loading by freight. This failure can make brake system useless and may be a cause of derailment in the worst case. In this study, in order to be proved the cause of failure and to solve the problem it is described that we have measured load history acted on end beam and set up the procedures.

The acceptance test of KTX has been performed in Korea. During the test, lateral vibration of carbody over the accepted value called sway was found. KTX has 20 car trainset formation whose trailer cars are linked by articulate bogies. So this study is performed to see the effects of long trainset formation on vehicle dynamics and the train stability by 20 car vehicle model. Firstly the reliable vehicle model which shows well the tendencies appeared in the tests on the high speed test line is required to find the cause of lateral vibration and the countermeasure. Vehicle model was made .for the. analysis with VAMPIRE. The analysis results show that secondary air spring lateral stiffness is the most significant parameter to cause carbody lateral vibration. Mode analysis results show that the least damped mode shape is similar to the vibration pattern shown in the tests that the amplitude of the motion increases along the train set and decreases in the tail part. For the case of short train formation with 7 or 10cars, sway does not happen. But in the case of longer train formation with 16 or 20 cars, sway was found.

This paper concerns the prediction of railway noise propagation using scale model experiment in acoustics. In order to make acoustical experiment the digital signal processing technique are applied and spark discharge sound sources have been developed in which impulse response measured in 1/20 scale model railway. In the case of scale model experiment, it is difficult to realize sufficiently small size and directivity and to get sufficient sound energy and to get repeatability. Several type of Spark discharge sound source is made in laboratory. Experiment results are compared with the calculated results by the prediction model. As the results, it was found that railway noise could be predicted in acoustical scale model experiment using spark discharge sound source.

The conditions for measurement of the interior noise should meet the international standards. However, due to the limitations in test conditions the possible errors in measurement equipment, reliability of the measurement results has been questioned. Hence, the test procedure for the interior noise measurement of KTX vehicles are reviewed and investigated with the reference of international standards. Furthermore, the acceptable tolerance is inspected through the analysis of the factors that influence the interior noise of the KTX vehicle.

The national subway went under construction in 1971, and after three years of endeavor, Seoul subway line number one opened for traffic in 1974. Line number two went under construction in 1978 and it opened for traffic in 1984. With the use of safety operation for more than 20 years, the life cycle nearly came to an end. Therefore the improvements for the safety operation are unavoidable. The total system should not be affected when the new and conventional systems are overlapped, the system operation is in the initial stage, and it confronts the situation of abnormal operation. However, there is a total lack of experience in construction and improvement for the trains that are in the use of large transport and density headway. In this paper, we propose an improvement method of the subway signalling system using ATO (Automatic Train Operation control scheme) to which the latest Digital ATC is applied, and examine the first application model of ATO system.

The Communication Based Train Control(CBTC) System generally used to improving existing lines in the world is efficient and stable for improvement. Also it is efficient for improvement because it does not cause any problems in operation of existing lines. We examined the mixed operation scheme for more efficient and stable improvement when improvement is implemented depending on aged equipment and the increased number of passengers in the Korean city railroad. The biggest point in the mixed operation is to implement a stable test without interfering with the operation of the existing lines. For this purpose, we deduced a method of installing the equipment, a method of testing depending on the installed equipment, and the types of mixed operation, and presented a scheme of execution of the methods depending on the mixed operation.

This paper proposed a new type of vehicle detector using a MR sensor. and addressed detector's apparatuses and detecting algorithms. Proposed detector has been tested on a local highway between Mishiryong and Sokcho in Korea. Through extensive field tests, the outputs of the detector in response to various kinds of passing vehicles have been collected and analyzed. It is verified from the analyses that the outputs of the detector take on very different aspects with each vehicle, so that information on not only traffic count but vehicle types could be extracted from the outputs. And, with the proposed detector, traffic volumes on the two lanes in the tested region were measured and compared when both congested and clear traffic situations.

Recently, The TCN(Train Communication Network} as the distributed control systems for electric vehicles, which is the international standard of the intra vehicle communication, actively recognizes variations and supports reconfiguration of the train network when a vehicle is separated or recombined. The technique of reconfiguration to take variety and interoperability of a vehicle constitution is used when the vehicle constitution is changed. At the time, each node making up vehicle network shares the information about the variation of vehicle constitutions and the state of nodes. In the hierarchical TCN structure, an exchange of data becomes available as a work to transmit information between components is performed at the node playing a role of gateway. This paper proposes a protocol to transmit the information of the train reconfiguration. The protocol gives an application to renew a list for transmitting information and to perform the transmission that can guarantee periodic and non-periodic data transmission between nodes when the network nodes changed by a variation of the network state are reconfigured. If use this protocol, can use functions that are offered in the electric railcar at the same time that composition of vehicles is completed without delay. And when driver of the electric railcar inspect before running of vehicles, can confirm state of vehicles visually through monitor in driver's room.

This paper is implemented a control algorithm in order to be stable and minimized to entire train traffic system at delayed case. Signal ing system is described wi th algebraic equations given for train headway, Discrete-event simulation principles are reviewed and a demonstration block signaling model using the technique is implemented. Train congestion at station entrance for short headway operation is demonstrated and the propagation of delays along a platform of trains from any imposed delay to the leading train is also shown. A rail way signaling system is by nature a distributed operation with event triggered at discrete intervals. Although the train kinematic variables of position, velocity, and acceleration are continually changing, the changes are triggered when the trains pass over section boundaries and arrive at signals and route switches. This paper deals with linear-mode1ing, stability and optimal control for the traffic on such metro line of the model is reconstructed in order to adapt the circuits. This paper propose optimal control laws wi th state feedback ensuring the stability of the modeled system for circuits. Simulation results show the benefit to be expected from an efficient traffic control. The main results are summarized as follows: 1. In this paper we develop a linear model describing the traffic for both loop lines, two state space equations have been analyzed. The first one is adapted to the situation where a complete nominal time schedule is available while second one is adapted when only the nominal time interval between trains is known, in both cases we show the unstability of the traffic when the proceeding train is delayed following properties, - They are easily implemented at law cost on existing lines. - They ensure the exponetial stability of loop system. 2. These control laws have been tested on a traffic simulation software taking into the non-linearites and the physical constraints on a metro line. By means of simulation, the efficiency of the proposed optimal control laws are shown.

The velocity of train which is measured from pulse generator attached to TM is used for displaying or control signal of inverter and so on. Measured signals increase and decrease step-by-step by pulse counting or monotonously by F/V conversion. But noises and signal distortions by measuring error like alias make it difficult to provide correct velocity infomation and estimate the acceleration. In this paper, we investigated the performance of Smoothing method for suppressing the noises in velocity signals. And the difference between Smoothed signal and origin velocity signals is inspected and the comparison with low pass filtering show applicable of Smoothing method for noise rejection and the estimation of signal. Finally, acceleration curves estimated from Smoothing method are compared with real accelerator signal attached to train.

The Korean high speed train is designed to run at very high speed such as 350km/h. At this time, ballast in roadbed is dispersed by high speed air flow and this hits the substructure of the train. It becomes the factor of damaging the train. To investigate the main factor and possibility of ballast dispersion, the substructure flow is measured by Kiel-Probe Array System at G7 train experiment. And the wind tunnel experiment is performed with ballast in our research. Also CFD analysis is performed by assuming that the flow field is 2D and using simple shaped cross-tie and flat substructure of the train. By comparing the experimental results and CFD analysis, the accuracy of the analysis is checked. They will become the basic research data for the analysis and optimization of train substructure to prevent the ballast dispersion.

본 논문은 철도차량의 출입문과 역사의 플랫홈 사이에서 승객의 승하차시에 발생할 수 있는 안전사고를 방지하기 위한 안전발판장치에 관한 것으로서, 특히 출입문의 개폐작동에 따라 연동하여 작동되는 안전발판을 구비하는 것에 의해 별도의 동력과 제어장치를 필요로 하지 않음은 물론, 오작동 없이 정확하게 동작되도록 한 철도차량의 안전발판장치에 관한 것이다. 일반적으로, 지하철 역사의 플랫홈과 철도차량 간에는 열차의 원활한 안전주행을 위해 일정한 간격(이하 "연단간격"이라 함)이 유지된다. 이러한 연단간격은 가능한 한 좁게 형성되도록 구축되는 것이 바람직하나 그러기 위해서는 역사를 직선으로 건설해야 하지만, 통상 지하철은 도심의 인구집중지역의 기존 대로를 따라 노선이 결정되어 공사가 이루어지므로 도시가스배관, 도로주변의 고층대형건물, 기존도로의 형상 및 지하수와 같은 여러 가지 조건에 의해 많은 역사들이 곡선부분을 포함하여 건설될 수밖에 없다. 이 때문에, 철도차량과 플랫홈 간의 연단간격이 크게 벌어지는 구간이 형성되어 짧은 정차시간에 많은 사람들이 승하차하면서 연단간격으로 승객의 발이 빠지는 등의 안전사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 이와 같이, 연단간격이 커짐에 따른 사고발생을 줄이기 위하여 연단간격이 큰 부분에 경고등을 설치하거나 경보음을 발생시키는 방법을 사용하였다. 이러한 경보장치는 차량이 지정된 궤도로 진입하면, 경고등에서 빛을 발산하여 차량과 플랫홈 사이의 공간에 대한 위험성을 승객에게 주의시키면서 경보나 안내방송이 나오게 하고, 차량이 역사를 출발하여 궤도를 지나면 그 작동이 멈추는 장치이다. 그러나, 이러한 경보장치는 위험성을 승객에게 알려 승객 스스로가 위험에 대처하도록 하는 주의정보제공의 기능만을 가지는 장치로서, 바쁜 출퇴근 시간이나 혼잡한 상황에서는 만족할 만한 효과를 기대하기 어려웠고, 특히 위험 대처능력이 떨어지는 어린아이나 노약자에게는 위험성이 그대로 상존하는 문제점이 있었다. 이와 같은 문제점으로 인하여 경전철이 있는 나라에서는 경전철용 차량에 승객이 안전하게 승하차할 수 있도록 계단식 발판을 설치하는 차량용 발판이 제공되어 있으나, 국내 지하철에 적용하기에는 차체 및 역사의 구조상 불가능하였다. 차량의 바닥이 플랫홈과 거의 동일 레벨상에 위치하므로 안전발판이 차량의 바닥과 수평이 되도록 작동되어야 하고, 차량에 있어서도 스테인레스 차량인 경우 사이드 빔(Side beam), 알루미늄 차량인 경우 솔바(Sole bar)에 구멍을 뚫으면 전체적인 차체의 강도 및 구조상의 문제가 발생되기 때문이다. 본 논문에서 이전에 개발된 국내외 안전발판장치를 소개하고 연단간격과, 차량 플랫홈의 높이의 차이에서 발생하는 문제를 함께 해결하는 안전발판장치를 해결책으로 제시하고자 한다.

Experimental comparison was done for measuring Heat Release Rate and Smoke Production Rate of electric motor car's interior panels using cone calorimeter. Radiative heat flux of
$50kW/m^2$ was used to simulate the condition of fully developed fire case in the tests. It was observed that Heat Release Rate and Smoke Production Rate curves were shown differently according to interior materials. From experiment's results we can deduce that materials having higher rate of heat release smolder more smoke. It needs to establish fire risk propensity of each material and to set up the standards urgently. -
Recently, uncertainty of measurement became a major concern for the people working on the laboratory evaluation and accreditation. 'uncertainty of measurement is a parameter associated with the result of a measurement that characteristics the dispersion of the value that could reasonably be attributed to the measured.' This study analysed how to estimate uncertainty of measurement in mechanical characteristic exam for Plastic material. its uncertainty was estimated according to International Organization for Standardization(ISO), they were named to A type uncertainty, B type uncertainty, combined standard uncertainty, and expanded uncertainty. We obtained that the combined standard uncertainty was 0.96697 MPa and the expanded uncertainty was 2.291MPa.

This paper derived a theoretical method to estimate structural characteristics of carbody members when material substitution designs were performed, and verified the theoretical method with finite element analyses. For important factors in rolling stock design, such as bending stiffness, natural frequency, bending strength and buckling strength, some performance indices to estimate structural behaviors were developed in order to derive an equivalent design in spite of material substitutions. The developed method was used to reduce the weights of carbody components, as example problems, by substituting the aluminium alloy for the structural steel. The analysis results of the examples show that the proposed technique gives a reasonable initial guess in the case of a material substitution design.
