차량 도어를 닫은 직후 차량 내부에서 발생된 소음 및 압력은 승객으로 하여금 불쾌감을 유발한다. 많은 연구가 소음에 관해서 주로 이루어져 왔고 압력 증가에 대해선 상대적으로 관심이 적었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 동격자를 이용한 3차원 수치해석을 통하여 도어가 닫힐 때 차체 누설량과 도어 각 속도에 따른 차량 승객실 압력 변화를 고찰하였다.

The Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) has many types of door system such as sliding door, plug door etc.al. according to customer's requirements. The sliding door is widely used in Korea but has weak point in the noise problem. In the low operation speed, the noise coming from outer side of the EMU is not an important factor. As the speed is higher than before, noise is increased and make a problem. The main cause of noise is the imperfect air tightness in the EMU. The plug door system has advantages for the noise reduction characteristic in the high speed area. We have been developing electric plug-in door. The door is controlled by Door Control Unit(DCU) following the order of Automatic Train Protection (ATP) that is a kind of train signalling system. DCU has to simultaneously open and close the doors and the operation of it is related to the passengers safety. So DCU is a safety device that is important to reliability and safety. DCU is composed of several devices of control, motor driving, Input/Output, communication and power. In this paper, we will describe the functions, characteristic, requirement, subsystem and test results of DCU used for the electric plug-in door.

The impact beam, a beam-shaped reinforcement installed horizontally between the inside and outside panels of car doors, is gaining importance as a solution to meet the regulations on side collision of vehicles. In order to minimize pelvis injury which is the biggest injury happening to the driver and passengers when a vehicle is subject to side collision, energy absorption at the door impact beam should be maximized. For the inner panel, the thrust into the inside of the vehicle must be minimized. The impact beam should be as light as possible so that the extent of pelvis injury to the driver and passenger during side collision of the vehicle is minimal. To achieve this, the weight of the impact beam, has to be optimized. In this study, we perform a design analysis with a goal to reduce the weight of the current impact design by 30% while ensuring stability, reliability, and comparison data of the impact beam for mass production. We conduct three-point bending stress experiments on conventional impact beams and analyze the results. In addition, we use a side-door collision test apparatus to test the performance of beams made of three (different materials: steel, aluminum, and composite beams).

Noise levels of the three subway lines of Busan city have been investigated. Averaged cabin noise of the train has been measured during the train trip for each station. It has been measured with separation of day time (9:00~18:00) and night time (18:00~22:00) measurements but there was no big difference on the measured data. Repeating for the measured data has been confirmed with twice measurements in May and June 2010. Several noise effects to the subway noise levels of Busan are explained. Those are screen door effect, rail road surface condition, subway train type and curvature of railway. Among three subway lines of Busan city, the line 2 is relatively noisy and its reasons are studied. It has been shown that the screen door effect is 10 dB(A) and S shape of sharp curve contributes in high noise level.

This article deals with a case study on evaluating RAM(Reliability, Availability and Maintainability) performance of the door systems. The RAM performance is analysed based on the field data. The definition and category of failures of the door systems are presented and reliability for each categories is predicted with field data. MTTR(Mean Time To Repair) is estimated through the replacement time of line replaceable units(LRU). The availability is predicted based on the estimated reliability and maintainability.

We developed a prediction model of assistance force for the opening/closing of an automobile door depending on the condition of the parking ground. The candidates of the learning models for the operating assistance force were compared to determine the proper force according to the slope and user's force, etc. The reduced experimental model was developed to obtain learning data for the estimation model. The learning algorithm was composed to predict the assistance force to incorporate real assistance force data. Among these algorithms, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine(SVM) were applied and the adaptability was compared between these models. The SVM provided more adaptability for the learning process of the door assistance force prediction. This paper proposes a system for determining the assistance force to control a door motor to compensate for the deviation of required door force in the slope condition, as needed in the plane condition.

As a modem urban train is getting complex in terms of high-technology in its systems and components, the failure management should be performed with scientific and systematic technique. FMEA is a technique to analyze the failure trends of component parts and influences to the higher level system in order to discover the design incompleteness and potential defects, which is for improving reliability. Especially, FMECA (Failure Mode Effects, and Criticality Analysis) is used in case that the criticality that has an immense influence to the system is important. In case of urban train, in its design and manufacturing steps, FMEA is frequently used as an analysis technique to meet the safety objectives and eliminate potential hazards/failures since the concepts of reliability of train is introduced these days. Though, FMEA technique in the maintenances steps lacks in its investigation and applications yet. FMEA is also not applied to the trains operated by Seoul metro in the design and manufacture steps excepts the newest trains. In this paper, through analyzing the failures/maintenance data of the belt-type door systems used in trains operated in Seoul metro Line 1, which is accumulated in RIMS (Rolling-stock Information Maintenance System), FMEA procedures to the belt-type door engines are proposed. Especially, an effort is made, to approach the detailed FMECA procedures to the door magnet valve and switch and door engine devices which vastly influences the customer safety and satisfaction.

Recently, several vehicle manufacturers have used the aluminum side door impact beam in order to reduce the vehicle weight and costs. But, the aluminum impact beam may cause the reduction of the side door strength and the side impact capability. Therefore, this paper optimized the section dimension and section shape of the side door impact beam to satisfy the legislation of the side door strength and maintain the side impact capability as well as steel impact beam

The Door hinge is a very important part for door sagging performance of a vehicle. It is divided into two classes as a forge- and press-type according to a manufacturing technique. The press-type door hinge is cheap, but shows low strength. To apply the press-type door hinge to a fullsized car with satisfactory door sagging performance, we optimized the design parameters of the door hinge using the DFSS method. As a result, the effective design parameters of the press-type door hinge with good door sagging performance were obtained.

Installation of screen doors at platform ensures safety of passengers by separating platform from tracks. Besides, it reduces drought and air pressure caused by train conserves heating and cooling energy in the station. In order to guarantee safety of platform screen doors, design considering evaluation of wind pressure requires. In this study, Sosa station, semisealed screen door and EMU are analyzed to estimate the wind pressure of platform screen doors model. Also Sosa station is influenced by climatic condition because it exposed to outside. Therefore, analysis on the wind pressure of platform screen doors is performed under the worst weather condition such as typhoon. The results of analysis, Maximum inside pressure 287 Pa, and consideration of outside pressure as typhoon to the maximum design pressure of 865 Pa 2756.25 Pa conditions approximately 3.1 times the difference can be seen that ensure stability.
