In this paper, the structural strength of a rolling stock seat were numerically evaluated under several design load conditions based on the UIC requirements. The rot]ins stock seat was designed for the high speed train of a Chinese conventional line. To maximize its weight reduction and structural strength, an aluminium alloy, ALDC8-T5, was applied to the base frame, side frames and armrests. The designed seat frame satisfied the strength requirements on inertia loads and fatigue test conditions. However, it couldn't satisfy the requirements on the static test conditions of UIC 566 OR. Therefore, some design modifications were suggested and numerically evaluated whether the static test requirements could be satisfied or not.

The transfer of air pollutants between passenger room and service room in train are investigated by the computational analysis. The effects of service room temperature, inlet velocity, initial concentration and heating are studied. The flow induced by the difference of density between two rooms is found to take the major role in transfer of polluted air. Low temperature of service room enhances the polluted air flow into passenger room along the floor. Exhaust fan above the door between two rooms is not effective for this case. Strong inlet flow is found to suppress polluted air flow from service room. The heating of passenger room can promote air pollution.

Railroad car is one of major public transportation because of an increase in population and heavy traffic problems. We design the concept with air filtration of HVAC system using CFD, select environment-friendly components and compose intellectual HVAC system. For this object, the research to connect HVAC system which control temperature, humidity, air flow with pollutant controlling system which can deal with particular dust, nasty smell. In case of train, fresh air should be provided continuously for pleasant environment of the cabin every season. The air will control outer dust, inner particular dust, $CO_2$ density by air conditioning, heating, humidity regulating, air filtering and ventilating. Ventilation system on passenger cars should be designed for the health and comfort of the passengers.

Comparative analysis it did the interior noise of the KTX vehicle and the P-P Semaeul vehicle from the conventional line Homan Seodaejeon-Hanam section from the research which it sees. The test result KTX vehicle appeared when the P-P Semaeul vehicle compared to 20 - 25 KM/H speed up operating commerce operation speed even, the standard values 66 dBA the lowers 55 - 62 dBA. P-P Semaeul vehicle interior noise of the identical test section 63 dBA it will compare and there is a possibility the KTX vehicle knowing from the existing line operating hour interior noise.

고속전철의 보조 전원 장치는 차량에 탑재되므로 소형화, 경량화 및 고신뢰성이 요구된다. 보조전원 장치중 Battery Charge는 고압의 직류전원(670Vdc)을 저압의 직류전원(83Vdc)으로 변환하여 객차(Trailer Car : 50kW) 및 동력차(Power Car : 10Kw)에 필요한 직류전원을 안정되게 공급하고 Battery Charger의 고장 발생 시를 대비해 Battery의 최적 충전상태를 유지해야 한다. 기술개발의 최종 목표는 고효율, 고신뢰성 밧데리 충전기 시스템 개발, EMI 저감, 부피와 무게의 소형경량화, 최적 스위칭 기술 및 회로 개발이다. IGBT에 대해 소프트 스위칭 기법을 사용하여 스위칭 손실 저감 및 소자의 스트레스의 저감으로 전력 변환 장치의 효율 향상과 소자의 신뢰성을 확보하였고, 스위칭 주파수를 높여 변압기나 인덕터등의 자기 소자의 크기를 줄였다. Battery Charger를 단일 모듈로 구성하기 보다 5kW 모듈을 여러개 조합한 다중모듈방법으로 병렬 운전하므로써 입출력 전류리플룰 감소시켰으며 시스템의 안정성과 신뢰성을 높일 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of the parameters of the suspension system in railway rolling-stock for KT-23 type passenger vehicle. According to the results of simulation and the field test, Optimal condition was obtained for the stiffness ratio of the primary spring and the secondary of the suspension system. When the stiffness ratio was increased, the vibration was increased on the car body and decreased on the bogie, and ride quality are getting worse because of increase of the vertical natural frequency of the car body. The results of this study are usefull to improve the technology of the ride quality of KT-23 type vehicle.

In this study, we measured and analyzed the interior noise, the rolling noise and the engine noise at Honam line(Seodaejeon- Jangseong) for passenger and power cars. The noise level is below 69㏈A for Seamaeul PMC(Powered Motor Car) coachs, below 65㏈A for Seamaeul and Mukungwha coachs, over 80㏈A for the driver's room of PMC and DEL (Diesel-Electric Locomotive). We also proposed the criteria of interior noise in free field conditions, below 67㏈A for passenger cars, below 86㏈A for power cars.

This paper is on the development of a auxiliary power supply for the coach of Indian Railways. The auxiliary power supply system supplies the power for air-conditioners, air-compressors, lighting equipments, controllers, etc. It converts the input voltage, DC 110V which is supplied from battery, to AC 3${\Phi}$ 415V of 30kVA capacity. This is a low voltage-high current type converter system and largely consists of boost chopper and 3 phase inverter. Adopting a optimal control algorithm and simple power circuit, we realized the more reliable and competitive system for satisfaction of Indian Railway's strict requirement for vibration, temperature and dust. We completed the design, the manufacture and the field test of the system successfully and proved the system performance and reliability as a result of those tests.

Numerical simulation is conducted to clarify the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of HVAC(Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning) for Mugunghwa passenger car. The HVAC system is installed under the floor of carbody. This new HVAC system has a lot of merits in respect of the center of gravity of carbody, flow induced noise and reduction of condensation water etc. The standard k-epsilon turbulent model and SIMPLEC algorithm based on finite volume method are used to solve the physical HVAC model. To assure convergence, QUICK scheme for momentum equation and the first order upwind scheme for turbulent equations are used. From the results of simulation, the temperature and velocity magnitude are also distributed uniformly in the interior of car.

The Korea Railroad Research Institute developed a fire control system for coaches using water mist. The fire control technology using water mist is used in the fire control system embedded in coaches developed through research. Such environment-friendly, automatic fire-extinguishing device is also economical because the amount used is significantly less than that of the existing sprinkler system. The paper introduces the developed fire control system and fire control performance tests using such system.
