Dynamic equations of motion for the interaction system of bridge and vehicle are derived to investigate the dynamic responses of bridge and vehicles induced by moving automated guide-way transit(AGT) vehicle and surface roughness of bridge. The vehicle model for ACT vehicle is idealized as 11 DOF including yawing, lateral translation and steering of wheels, and the bridges are modeled with finite element method. The AGT vehicle model was verified by experimental study. Parametric studies are carried out to investigate the effect of vehicle speed, surface roughness, stiffness and damping of the suspension system, AGT vehicles and dynamic wheel loads of the AGT vehicles. From the parametric study it can be seen that the dynamic incremental factor of the bridge and dynamic responses of vehicles have a tendency to increase with vehicle speeds, surface roughness and the stiffness of AGT vehicle suspension system. On the other hand those dynamic wheel loads have tendencies to decrease in according to increase of damping of the suspension system.

This study pointed on the dynamic impact of AGT (Automated Guide-way Transit) bridge, due to concrete rail prominence. An experiment was done with 30 m P.S.C. bridge in AGT test line in Kyungsan. An artificial prominence with 10 mm hight, was installed at the mid span of concrete rail. And computer simulation was executed for the artificial prominence. As an experiment result, in the case of with prominence, bridge acceleration responses are increased 50% at the speed range of 20 km/h-60 km/h, and bridge displacement responses increased slightly. With these results, the prominence of concrete rail can be induce excess impact and vibration. And the computer program simulated much the same as experiments. So this program can be used for AGT bridge design and formulate the standard of concrete rail management.

The topic on today is dynamic response analysis of curved bridge-AGT(Automated Guide-way Transit) vehicle interaction system. Rubber wheel type AGT vehicle is adopted in this study, and the vehicle is idealized as three dimensional eleven DOF model. Three types of composited steel box girder bridges are modelized with F.E. method. And three types of artificially generated surface roughnesses are adopted for analysis. The dynamic equations of curved bridge, AGT vehicle and surface roughness are derived by using Lagrange's equation of motion. And the equations are solved by Newmark-${\beta}$ method. As a result, The dynamic increasement factor is inverse proportional to radius curvature.

This study is focused on the dynamic response of curved bridge when the rubber tired AGT vehicles is running with alternative articulations. For the analytic approach, there is necessary for the three dimensional vehicle model with 11 degree of freedom and the three dimensional curved bridge model by means of finite element method. It can be described by conventional Lagrangian formula with respect to the dynamic interactions between vehicles and its met bridge. The formula is implemented by Fortran language on the simulation program designated BADIA II(Bridge-AGT Dynamic Interaction Analysis II). The solutions of the formula are derived by Newmark- ${\beta}$ method. The BADIA II is for the dynamic interactions between vehicle and curved bridge in terms of the roughness of running surface and guide rail. The applicability of the BADIA II is verified in terms of displacement and modal frequency. This study is described that the dynamic interactive behaviors between the rubber tired AGT vehicle and curved bridge in terms of the radius of curvatures of curved bridge, vehicle articulations, vehicle speeds, vehicle weights, flatness of running surface and roughness of guide rail using BADIA II.
