Abstract
Vibration exposure of domestic high speed trains(KTX and ITX-saemaeulho) to passenger traveling on the Gyung-Bu line was measured to evaluate health effect which is based on ISO 2631-1. The vibration exposure was compared with the frequency weighted root mean square(r.m.s.) and vibration dose value(VDV) of the two trains’ vibration. It is concluded that vibration exposure of the two train during round trip of Busan-Seoul in single day is evaluated to be safe for the passenger’s health according to the health guidance caution defined on ISO 2631-1. Futhermore KTX’s vibration exposure is found to be significantly lower than ITX-saemaeulho thanks to lower vibration magnitude as well as shorter trip time.
