Heights of a platform above the rail for the passenger train in the country are classified into two categories such as the low level (500mm; mainline) and the high level (1,135mm; metropolitan subway line) platforms. In order to operate similarly both a mainline railroad and a metropolitan subway line, as the requisite door safety system, it is necessary to develop the doorstep equipment of the rolling stock regardless of both the low and high level platforms. In this study, Structural analysis and mechanical strength test of doorstep equipments used for two types of platforms are performed on the supposition that the train only for the low level platform could stop in the both low and high level platforms.

This study investigates the characteristics of environmental impact from the construction phase of a high-speed railway through a Life Cycle Assessment method based on the materials used and the energy consumption of the equipment used according to the design statement. The results reveal that the contributions to environmental impact in the construction sector of a high-speed railway were 89% for civil engineering, 7% for the track system, 2% for stations and 2% for the energy and telecommunication system. In particular, the highest contribution to the impact in the civil engineering category were 54% for Global Warming, 25% for Abiotic Resource Depletion and 8% for Photochemical Oxidant Creation. The main influence factors were the use of remicon and cement. In future, the application of Life Cycle Assessment for the construction sector of railway construction will introduce efficient reduction methods according to the quantitative calculation of environmental impact.

Through this study, a conceptual design for the next generation high-speed EMU has been derived to meet the crash worthiness requirements of the Korean rollingstock safety regulation. The crashworthiness regulations require some performance requirements for two heavy collision accident scenarios; a train-to-train collision at the relative speed of 36 km/h, and a collision against a standard deformable obstacle of 15 ton at 110km/h. The complete train set will be composed of 2TC-6M with 13 ton axle load, which is different from KTX with the power car of 17 ton axle load. Using theoretical and numerical analyses, a crashworthy conceptual design was derived in terms of mean crush forces and energy absorptions for principal crushable structures and devices. The derived conceptual design was evaluated and improved using one dimensional dynamic simulations for the bar-spring-damper-mass model. It is shown from the simulation results that the suggested conceptual design can easily satisfy domestic crashworthiness requirements.

As the preceding research for the design of gangway in the next generation high speed train, the aero-acoustic noise at the gangway is calculated. For this purpose, the shape of gangway with mud flaps is assumed as the two-dimensional cavity. Then, 5 gap sizes between mud flaps of gangway are selected and parametric study is performed according to the gap sizes. From this study, the aerodynamic features such as vortex shedding, pressure, etc. are computed. Also, the aero-acoustic properties of tonal noise and overall noise are analyzed at the 3 locations of microphone and the relation between the gap size of mud flap and the noise level is assessed. Through this study, it is shown that the noise characteristics of base and specific models are better than those of other models.

The vehicle structure of Automated People Mover(APM) made of aluminum honeycomb sandwich with WR580INF4000 glass-fabric epoxy laminate facesheets was evaluated by structural test and finite element analysis. The test of the vehicle structure was conducted according to JIS E 7105. The structural integrity of vehicle structure was evaluated by stress, deflection and natural frequency obtained from dial-gauge and acceleration sensor. And the proposed finite element models were compared with the results of structural test. The results of finite element analysis showed good agreement with those of structural test. Also, in order to improve the stiffness of vehicle structure, the modified underframe model with reinforced side sill was proposed in design stage. The composite vehicle structures with modified underframe model had the improved structural stiffness about 44%.

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.

전세계의 많은 대도시들은 인구의 과밀화, 차량의 증가로 인한 교통혼잡 등으로 인해 많은 어려움을 겪고 있으며, 우리 나라도 '교통대란'이라고 할만큼 심각한 상황에 처해 있다. 이에 따라 1974년 1호선 9개역을 시발로 전국적으로 약 1,000km에 달하는 지하전철구간이 운행 건설 중이다. 지하철에 의한 수송 분담율도 꾸준히 증가하여 현재 서울에서의 경우 34％정도에 이르고 있으며, 2000년 이후에는 45％이상을 차지할 것으로 예상하고 있다.(중략)

현대건설(주)은 중앙선 (덕소 ∼ 양수) 복선 전철공사 실시설계 입찰을 위한 일련의 조사 및 설계를 수행하였다. 본 논문은 사업 구간에 속해 있는 월문터널에 대한 설계를 수행하는 과정에서 현재 기존 노선이 운행되는 있는 단선 터널에 근접한 지역에서 공사 중에 운행되고 있는 열차의 안정성을 확보하기 위한 기초 조사를 선행하였다. 본 논문의 목적은 현재 국내에서 시행되고 있는 근접 터널 시공 문제에서 (특히, 화약 발파에 의한 터널 설계 및 시공) 문제시되고 있는 적절한 진동제어에 대한 수치가 필요 이상으로 적용되고 있다는 점에 대하여 향후, 경제적이고 도전적인 설계를 위한 제시를 하기 위함에 있다.

인구의 도시집중화에 따른 교통문제와 생활공간의 확보문제가 서울시가 가지고 있는 여러 가지 문제들 중의 하나이다. 이중 교통문제의 해결을 위해 서울시가 추진하고 있는 정책중 지하철 건설은 밀집화된 시의 공간활용 측면에 있어서 필연적이라고 할 수 있다. 서울시 지하철은 1974년 제 1호선 개통이래 1999년 7월에 제 8호선이 완전 개통됨으로서 40% 이상의 높은 수송 분담율을 기록하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 양적인 증가에 반해 공간적인 밀폐성으로 인한 대기, 소음, 진동 등의 환경 위해성이 논란의 대상이 되고 있다. (중략)
