The efficiency of railway track cleaning vehicle for eliminating fine particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) in a subway tunnel depends strongly on the structure of the air blowing and suction system installed under the train. To increase the efficiency of underbody suction system, this paper proposes a novel method to use the Coanda effect for the air blower and dust suction module. In particular, through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, the flow control device induced by the Coanda effect enables an increase in the overall flow velocity and to stabilize the flow distribution of the suction module at a control angle of $90^{\circ}$. In addition, the flow velocity drop at the edge of the air knife-type blower can be improved by placing small inserts at the edge of the blower. Those 4 modular designs of the dust suction system can help remove the dust accumulated on the track and tunnel by optimizing the blowing and suction flows.

The blending brake is mixed brake system which is operated by electrical and mechanical brake simultaneously. Most of urban transit system is used with blending brake unit. In order to train is align at the stopping position. The blending brake shall be presicely operated to the train. Many parameters are influence on the train when train is stopped on presicion position by blending brake. It is considered such parameters as decceleration, variable load, jerk, friction cofficient, etc. Therefore, This paper consider the parameter and describes the blending control for standard EMU. The control algorithm of it is proposed and simulation of it carried out by using MATLAB. Also Electronic control unit is manufactured with micro procesor which is configured fot blending control and is verified by performance test.

In this paper, proper length of neutral section and neutral section system configuration is proposed to minimize accidents if ATO urban railway vehicle stops maintaining the leading vehicles in air section at regular intervals. When considering the minimum voltage sensing of power conversion unit in the urban railway vehicle, the effective length of 14,280[mm] with neutral section can be minimized damage due to high current because the urban railway vehicle is very little present chance compare neutral section with pantograph interval installed on a unit vehicle. In addition, uplift of catenary line and contact wire consider to minimize damage. The result of theoretical review, as the proposed neutral section shorter, isolated neutral section is effective than the integrated neutral section.

Recent energy efficiency policy of green growth for stable power supply is required. Urban transit vehicles is limited to reduce the use of power without reducing the number of runs. Accordingly, when urban rail vehicles is braking, the occurrence of regenerative power is systemically maximized for the purpose of saving energy. As a result when it is braking, the generated power efficiently is used and looking for a way to reduce the electrical energy. In this paper, the brake control system of the Subway Line 3 is analyzed the effect to meet the required regenerative braking produced electricity through minimizing air braking force of service braking.

In this paper, effect of recharging power by using ESS(Energy Storage System) was investigated when ESS was applied to the train. The recharging power was analyzed and measured. Also, by applying ALVT algorithm, effective recharging and discharging were studied. By using this process, recharging and discharging of the super capacitor were improved which led to enhancing the use of recharging power from the urban Railway vehicles.

In this paper, we propose the LQ servo control method for the automatic train control of urban rail vehicle. Structures of the conventional PID control and LQ servo controller are compared in order to demonstrate the simplicity of the proposed controller which doesn't have zeros of the closed loop systems. The energy consumption is dealt with as an object function to be minimized, which consists of the quadratic performance indices for optimal control with the input of the feedback linearization. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by the practical example, compared with the conventional PD controller.

국내 도시 철도에 차량 견인용으로 사용되는 전동기는 인버터로 구동되는 200㎾급 3상농형 유도 전동기를 표준 사양으로 선정하였으며 열악한 운전 조건에서도 20년을 상회하는 운전 수명을 보장하도록 규정하고 있다. 그러나 PWM 인버터 구동은 견인 전동기에서 추가적인 고조파 발열 손실과 소음, 진동을 초래하며 더욱이 고속 스위칭에 의한 과도 전압과 빠른 상승 시간을 가진 반복 과전압은 인버터와 전동기를 연결하는 케이블 공진 현상에 의해 배가되어 정현파 구동 시에 예상할 수 없었던 매우 커다란 스트레스를 절연 시스템에 가하게 되어 견인 전동기의 예상 수명에 심각한 영향을 미치고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인버터 구동 견인전동기의 운전수명을 보장하기 위해서는 기존의 시험 방법에 포함되지 않은 PWM 가변속 구동에 따른 고조파 손실과 과도 전압 충격의 문제점을 고려한 새로운 장기 신뢰성 평가기법이 절실히 필요한 상황이기 때문에 이를 제안하고자 하였다.

Risk-based railway safety management has been mandatory in Korea as by relevant laws and regulations enacted since the Railway Safety Act 2004. In particular, the Railway Vehicle Safety Guidance came into effect on Jan 1, 2008 specifies the details of methodology for hazard analysis, risk assessment and safety verification and validation. Fundamentals for success of the risk-based safety management are systematic hazard identification and risk assessment by use of reasonable risk assessment criteria, but the principle of risk-based safety management has not been applied in an effective way to introduction and maintenance of railway vehicle systems because definite risk assessment criteria have not been set down for each railway system or railway network. The purpose of this study is to suggest a risk matrix development principle for risk assessment of domestic urban metro vehicles by analyses of relevant rules and railway operating environment of Korea.

This paper describes the method to develop the ATO software system. The software design is based on VxWorks, a Real Time Operating System. ATO calculates tractive effort/braking effort to keep the train at a certain speed reference at each moment. The speed reference is calculated by the ATO from a number of external factors. The ATO with this software is installed standardized EMU. and tested In Seoul Line 7.
