In the design process of dynamic characteristics of a railway vehicle, demand for analysis, testing and estimation methods of running stability are increasing as railway vehicle speed is increasing. Critical speed tests and estimation have been carried out using computer simulation or special test facilities, like roller rigs, because real track testing at critical speed is very dangerous. This paper introduces a test and assessment method for critical speed and estimates the validity using several roller rig tests. The test results show that it is difficult to estimate the critical speed using safety and instability assessment method in UIC 518, but that there is good agreement between the reduction of the equivalent damping ratio and the critical speed.

4WD차의 특성은 출력이 뛰어남은 물론, 고속안정성을 추구하고 있으며, 견고한 차체로 이루어져 하물적재능력도 뛰어난 이른바 전천후 자동차라고 말할 수 있다. 4WD의 두드러진 특성은 전 시중 지프의 활약에서 나타났듯이 황무지, 사막 및 비포장도로에서의 주행능력이 우수한 것은 말할 것도 없으며 트럭 등에 이용되면서부터는 하물적재에 따른 주행능력의 감소도 극복하게 되 었다. 더욱이 오늘날에는 자동차에 대한 욕구가 다양해짐에 따라 각국에서는 고출력을 선호 하는 시대적 요구에 부응하여 미끄러운 노면에서의 안정주행 및 포장도로상에서의 고속안정성을 겸비한 4WD 차종의 개발을 서두르고 있다. 4WD 차는 기존 자동차의 능력을 확대시켜 노면의 조건에 구애받지 않고 자유롭게 주행할 수 있는 전천후 자동차로 개발되기는 하였지만 이에 따 르는 소음, 연비, 에너지 손실 등의 문제가 완전히 해결된 것은 아니다. 또한 악조건 상에서 운 행하는 만큼 차체의 경량화, 기관의 소형화 및 균형유지 등의 제반 사항을 해결하기 위해서도 노 력을 기울이지 않으면 안된다.

Deep reinforcement learning(RL) is an end-to-end data-driven control method that is widely used in the autonomous driving domain. However, conventional RL approaches have difficulties in applying it to autonomous driving tasks due to problems such as inefficiency, instability, and uncertainty. These issues play an important role in the autonomous driving domain. Although recent studies have attempted to solve these problems, they are computationally expensive and rely on special assumptions. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm MCDT that considers inefficiency, instability, and uncertainty by introducing a method called uncertainty sequence modeling to autonomous driving domain. The sequence modeling method, which views reinforcement learning as a decision making generation problem to obtain high rewards, avoids the disadvantages of exiting studies and guarantees efficiency, stability and also considers safety by integrating uncertainty estimation techniques. The proposed method was tested in the OpenAI Gym CarRacing environment, and the experimental results show that the MCDT algorithm provides efficient, stable and safe performance compared to the existing reinforcement learning method.

A dynamic analysis is carried out to provide an evaluation method of running safety for a PSC box bridge located on the Gyung-Bu high speed railway. The numerical models of bridge and train vehicle are developed in detail with corresponding interaction system. Three dimensional skeleton element model of PSC box bridge and 38-degree-of-freedom of vehicle are adopted from the existing properties of KTX bridge and train vehicle. Analysed three direction rotations of vehicle on the bridge and ground tracks are compared for running speeds up to 500 km/h with 10 km/h constant increments. The comparison of the rotations will be an improved evaluation method of Running Safety in stead of the existing standard method.

In this work, the stability and safety analysis are carried out to predict the performance of a next generation high-speed railway vehicle (HEMU-400X). Since the safety of the high-speed railway vehicles is very important, it is meaningful to predict the dynamic performance and stability of the railway vehicles using a numerical model at a railway vehicle design step. The critical speed of the dynamic model depending on the conicity of the wheel is calculated in the stability analysis. The critical speed calculated in this analysis is over 400km/h for the conicity value of 0.15, which is determined on the basis of representative international standard, UIC 518. Also, the lateral and vertical accelerations at several points of the same dynamic model are calculated for the safety analysis. In the simulation, the dynamic model runs at the test speed of 440km/h, which is determined considering a maximum target speed, and the total driving distance is 30km. And those estimated values are less than the allowed maximum acceleration values of UIC 518.

To predict the dynamics behavior, running stability, etc. of a railway vehicle and to understand its physical characteristics, analytical methods are used for the testing and manufacturing of a scale model along with numerical simulations in developed countries (England, France, Japan, etc.). The test of the dynamics characteristics of full-scale models is problematic in that it is expensive and time-consuming because an entire large-scale test plant needs to be constructed, difficulties are involved in the test configuration, etc. To overcome these problems, an analytical study involving dynamics tests and computer simulations using a scaled bogie model that applies the laws of similarity was carried out. In this study, we performed stability analysis on a 1/5 small scaled bogie for parameters such as the running speed and carbody weight by using an analysis model. Furthermore, we verified the reliability by using a small-scaled derailment simulator and examined the dynamic characteristic of the 1/5 small scaled bogie.
