In this paper, crashworthiness of the EMU carbody of Incheon Metro is numerically evaluated against two types of overhead line structures (headspan and portal-type). The material of the EMU carbody is stainless steel (SUS301L), and that of the overhead line structures is the structural steel (SS400). The EMU carbody is analyzed under collision conditions, such as upright side-on impact, side-on roof impact and angled roof impact scenarios, to be collided against the headspan type or the portal type at the speed of 64.4km/h, respectively. It is concluded from the numerical results that the overhead line structures will not do so much harm to the EMU carbody of Incheon Metro for various collisions caused by derailment. Furthermore, the overhead line structure of the portal type is superior to that of the headspan type in the crashworthy point of view.

This paper suggests to standardize railway accident restoration types as the standardized code and to develop standard operation procedures(SOP) for the efficient railway accident management and recovery system. First of all, occurred damage types as the existing railway accident types in both domestic and foreign cases have been carefully analyzed and then reclassified. Therefore, this study suggested the combination of 3 distinct code factors: restoration class, restoration object, and restoration location to standardize them. In addition, temporary restoration SOP will play a major role in the railway accident batabase management system and SOP for the damage limitation and the prevention of accident spread.

본 연구에서는 경부고속철도의 콘크리트궤도에서 열차주행안전측면에서 관리해야할 레일패드강성의 상한값을 차량 및 궤도의 동특성과 운영환경을 고려하여 결정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 차량과궤도의 상호작용의 해석의 중요 입력파라메타인 궤도틀림과 관련하여 프랑스 및 독일에서 제시한 궤도틀림 PSD(Power Spectral Density)와 경부 1단계구간 콘크리트궤도에서 계측한 궤도틀림 자료를 통하여 얻은 PSD를 기초로 하여 넓은 범위의 주파수영역에서 적용할 수 있는 콘크리트궤도의 궤도틀림 PSD를 제시하였다. 제시된 PSD 기준모델을 사용하여 시간영역에서의 궤도틀림 입력을 Random Generation을 통하여 구한 후 개발된 차량-궤도 상호작용해석 기법을 사용하여 레일패드에 따른 윤중감소율을 산정하였다. 산정된 윤중감소율에 대하여 국내 철도차량 안전기준에 관한 규칙의 탈선계수 규정을 적용하여 주행안전측면에서 허용할 수 있는 레일패드강성의 상한값을 제시하였다.

본 연구용역에서는 반도기계주식회사의 의뢰에 의거하여 Manbridge Crane의 지진하중에 대한 구조물의 안전성을 평가하였다. 구조해석은 유한요소 모형을 사용하여 사하중, 활하중 및 OBE(Operating Basis Earthquake)와 SSE(Safe Shut-down Earthquake)의 지진하중에 관한 해석을 수행하였다. Crane설치지점의 층응답스펙트럼을 입력으로 한 응답스펙트럼해법으로 지진해석을 수행하였다. Trolley의 위치와 정격하중의 유무에 따라서 5개의 구조모형을 작성하여 해석을 수행하였으며, 지진해석에는 35개의 자유진동모드가 고려되었다. 구조해석을 통하여 1) 구조부재의 과도응력 발생여부, 2) 보강재의 좌굴 가능성, 3) Hoist Rope의 안전성, 4) Crane의 전도의 가능성 및 Seismic Lug의 안전성, 5) 지진하중에 대한 제동력, 6) Crane의 주행 Rail로부터의 탈선여부, 7) Traversing Rail의 수직처짐, 8) 주행 Rail 및 End Stopper의 Anchor Bolt의 안정성, 9) Fuel Basket과 Handrail의 안전성을 검토하였다. 해석결과를 바탕으로 설계시방서에서 제시한 모든 설계요구조건을 만족시킬 수 있도록 수직 Frame의 보강부재를 보강하고, Hoist Rope 용량을 증가시키도록 제안하였다.

The turnout system is typical railway facility to be in the way of conventional railway line's speed-up. The KNR(Korean National Railroad) has a speed limit regulation (130km/h) for the passing the turnout to guarantee a safety. This research had been performed to confirm the propriety of this regulation by using experimental and analytical way before it was carried out. The reasonableness of the speed-limit regulation was judged base on the several experiments. It was proved that the regulation was not useless as it had been regarded and very important guide at least up to now.

A derailment coefficient of railway vehicle is as one of important element that estimate running safety. Derailment coefficient is ratio of lateral load/vertical load happens in contact point between wheel and rail. Lateral load increases, dangerous of derailment can rise. There are ground and vehicle to measurement method of these derailment coefficient. Method of ground is simple, but when vehicles passes data of a point, there is shortcoming that acquire locally. Curved surface style wheel shape that use so far among vehicle method in this research wishes to be not but describe about static load test of wheel-set for derailment coefficient measurement that have plane plate shape that manufacture separate way and correction result etc. to test.

According to ' Monthly report of train accidents and incidents ' of KNR 184 numbers of derailment accidents/incidents had happened during last five years(from 1999 to 2003). Among them, there have happened only four injured accidents such as West Daejeon derailment accident, Jungang line, Pyegje station, and Daejeon station one. But it is necessary to consider a countermeasure for derailment, as its accident/incident have big risk which might produce a large scale damage and lots of injured persons. This paper analyzes the derailment accidents/incidents which have happened for last five years in KNR, and suggests their countermeasures.

To change rail tracks from main track to another track, it needs a device that is called the turnout point. If the point which is composed of accurate parts and complex sensors does not work, And also, serious problems will be arisen. However, there are serious problems by the failure of the point. In this paper, after analyzing the failures of the conventional points, a new point is suggested. The proposed point is not affected by the surge caused by lightning.

The dynamic behavior of high speed train is very important because it should be safe and is satisfied with the ride comfort of passengers. The railway is composed of many suspension components-1st springs, 1st dampers, 2nd springs, 2nd dampers etc- that have an influence on the dynamic characteristics of high speed train. Also, the wheel/rail shapes, the track condition and geometry and many environmental factors-rain, snow, wind etc-are affected the dynamic behavior of high speed train. This paper is reviewed the effect of wind(gust) on the dynamic behavior of high speed train. Vampire program is used for this simulation. The result of simulation shows that high speed train should not be operated when the gust speed is beyond 34.5m/sec.
