In this research, studied were performance improvements of the power conversion system for the high speed EMU. The object of this research is separated into two parts ; the one is the analysis of the designed transformer and the other is the switching improvement of a parallel PWM converter. The multi-outputs of a transformer must be balanced. However, the output of transformer is interfered and unbalanced in practical operation. To solve these problems, the electromagnetic analyzing model of a transformer is used to minimize the output interference. Also, the improvement of converter switching can reduce the unbalanced output and harmonics.

In this study, the crashworthy design guidelines for the high speed EMU were derived and numerically evaluated. As for this high speed train, there are several different features from the KTX in that the conventional type bogies are adopted and the front end car (TC car) accommodates passengers. It is natural that the impact acceleration of the front end car should be controlled under the appropriate level stipulated at safety regulations for collision accidents. Also, car-to-car interfacing structures and devices should be deliberately designed to prevent overriding and telescoping mechanisms. As the first step for these design countermeasures, it was studied that how much impact energy should be absorbed at the energy absorbing zones and devices of each carbody to satisfy the impact acceleration regulations of the safety regulations. These results will be used as the crashworthy design guidelines for the high speed train in the next year research.

Recently, the smart sensors and USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technologies are emerging. Smart sensors add the capability of storing local temporary data, processing instant operations, transmitting information outward, to the simple sensing devices. The USN is a wireless network of sensor/smart sensors that can collect data anywhere anytime and exchange the data within the network. In this research, case studies are performed on the smart sensors and USN applications. The cases were grouped in four categories, domestic private, domestic public, foreign private, and foreign public. Based on that survey, promising applications will be proposed and developed to be implemented to the next generation high-speed EMU.

This paper proposes a real-time estimation of the boost inductance in a single-phase AC/DC parallel PWM converter for high-speed EMU. The estimation procedure of the boost inductance is only based on the variation of input current and the input AC voltage measurement. The estimated boost inductance is optimized by the least square method. This estimation technique can improve the performance of current controller and reduce the harmonics of the input current in the feed-forward controller. The validity of proposed technique is verified through the MATLAB SIMULINK simulation results.

This paper addresses the numerical study on the dynamics of the High-speed EMU to enhance the ride quality. The 17 and 34 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) dynamic models for a single railway vehicle are proposed, and its vibrational characteristics according to the nonuniform rail profile are analyzed via Matlab. The validity of the proposed 34-DOF model are verified by comparing its dynamic characteristics and those from ADAMS/Rail. In addition, the critical dynamic parameters are identified by the parametric analysis, and rough design variables to reduce the vibration level of the railway vehicle are proposed. Finally, the frequency analysis - FFT - are conducted to extract the resonant frequencies, which have a significant influence on the determination of the critical speed of the railway vehicle. It is demonstrated that the results from the Matlab-based numerical analysis of the 34-DOF dynamic model are similar to those from ADAMS/Rail.

The Next-generation High-speed Rail Technology Development Project was started in 2007 by the Korean Government with the aim of developing the core technologies for a high-speed electric multiple unit (EMU) railway system. This is the first attempt to develop a high-speed EMU railway. High-speed EMU trains have superior acceleration and deceleration compared to push-pull high-speed railways such as KTX(Korean Train eXpress). A prototype train was developed and tested on a high-speed line starting in 2012. The new train must maintain running safety during the test. Generally, the international standard (UIC518) is adopted to evaluate the running safety of trains. This method suggests that the test zone must have over 25 sections, and the length of each section must be 500 m. However, it is difficult to implement these test conditions for a real high-speed line. In this study, we analyzed the running safety using several test section lengths (100 m to 500 m) and compared the results. The results of this study will be used to establish a running safety evaluation method for high-speed EMU railways.

This study describes the tail vibration reduction for the next generation high speed EMU(HEMU-430X). The model of 6 cars was generated and the calculation was performed using VAMPIRE(railway vehicle dynamic software). In view of ride characteristics, HEMU-430X was expected to sway at the tail because of the yaw damper direction. The lateral acceleration of vehicle body exceeded the criteria because of hunting. To reduce this hunting motion, some methods such as wheel profile change, the change of damping coefficient for the 2nd lateral damper, the damping coefficient change of yaw damper were tested, but had little effect. Finally, the yaw damper direction was changed and the tail vibration disappeared. In real running test, the tail vibration appeared at the speed of 150km/h and the yaw damper direction change made the vehicle stable at the speed of 300km/h. The maximum test speed of HEMU-430X is 430km/h. If the tail vibration appears at higher speed, some other methods in this study may be considered to reduce it.

According to the demands of the times, Inchon international airport railroad opened up step by step but It is situation that much government subsidies are paid because It does not competitive power with road traffic by decline of schedule speed. Inchon international airport railroad users will convert by other transportation and minimize damage their time as travel time is prolonged. Therefore, need high speedization of airport railroad, this may act big role competitive power security as well as airport railroad activation with another public transportation. Thus, this paper suggests that a high speedization possibility section in the sections of airport railroad and train speed elevation effect analysis by roadbed, railroad, system improvement and the most efficient operation intervals analyzing each vehicles (AREX (120km/h), KTX (230km/h), EMU(Electric Multiple Unit, 180km/h) train running pattern.

고속철도 운행 및 급증하는 철도교통 수요에 대처하기 위해 기존선 속도향상이 요구됨에 따라 180km/h급 틸팅차량을 개발 중에 있다. 일반적으로 곡선부에서 승객들의 승차감을 위해 열차의 통과속도를 제한하지만 틸팅차량은 대차에 틸팅장치를 장착하여 차량의 곡선 통과속도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 곡선부에서 증가된 속도로 이 열차를 주행할 수 있도록 허용할 뿐만 아니라, 운전자의 실수, 고속주행으로 인한 탈선을 예방하기 위해 연속적으로 열차속도를 감시하는 것이 필요하다. 게다가, 기존선의 어떤 구간에서는 엄격한 틸팅의 승인이 있어야 하는 구간이 존재할지도 모른다. 틸팅열차가 열차간 충돌, 터널, 다리, 반대편의 열차와 충돌을 피해만 한다. 이러한 문제점의 해결은 TASS장치의 개발과 설치로 해결될 수 있다. 본 논문은 EMU 타입 틸팅열차에 적합한 TASS 장치의 적용방안을 제시한다.
