The dynamic stability of railway vehicle has long been one of the important issues in railway safety. The dynamic simulator has been used as a tool for investigating the dynamic stability of railway vehicles and wheel/rail interfaces. In particular, small scale simulators have been widely used in laboratory studies instead of full scale roller rigs which can be quite costly and rather inconvenient for testing out the effect of diverse design parameters. But techniques for design of a small scale simulator for the fundamental study about the dynamic characteristics of the wheel-rail systems and the bogie systems have not been well developed in Korea. Therefore, a research on the development of a small scale simulator for investigating bogie dynamics needs to be undertaken. The present paper investigates design of a small-scaled derailment simulator and the design of a small scale bogie. The simulator developed can be used to investigate the effect of diverse parameters such as attack angle, wheelbase and cant on dynamic behavior of the bogie and key dynamic performance parameters such as derailment coefficient and critical speed.

Therefore, the research about the development of the small scale simulator and the bogie has been conducted. As this paper, To predict the dynamic behavior of railway vehicle, we studied running stability test of 1/5 scaled bogie that similarity laws is applied using small scale derailment simulator. For the operation of the small scale derailment simulator, it is required to investigate the performance and characteristics of the system. This could be achieved by a comparative study between an analysis and an experiment. This paper presented the analytical model which could be used for verifying of the test results and understanding of the physical behavior of the dynamic system comprising the small scale bogie and the simulator.

The dynamic characteristic of bogie that is driving system of railway vehicle is very important regarding decision of vehicle characteristics as running safety and comport. The dynamic characteristic test of bogie is tested on full size in place on field testing on track. But, the testing on the full size caused many problems. To overcome these problem by full size test, the Railway Safety Research Center in Seoul National University of Science & Technology developed 1/5 scale size of small scale derailment simulator and is currently testing running stability of 1/5 scaled bogie. Also To take effectively advantage of running stability test using small scale derailment simulator in actuality design and reliability estimation, it is necessary comparison and examination with field test and theoretical analysis result In this paper. to achieve running stability analysis of 1/5 scaled bogie on small scale derailment. the program using MATLAB that is fast compose and analysis the motion equation of Saemaul power bogie is developed. It is achieved analysis according to various specification (weight, size, suspension, etc..) and is evaluated corelation between test result and dynamic characteristic of actual railway vehicle.

철도차량의 탈선은 발생 시 대형사고로 이어질 수 있어, 철도차량의 주행안전 확보 문제는 철도운영기관 및 시설기관의 주요 현안 사항이다. 현재 대차의 동적 안정성 특성 시험은 대차 주행시험대라는 시험설비를 이용하여 시험을 하고 있다. 그러나 실물을 대상으로 한 실물규모의 주행시험대상에서의 동특성 시험은 시험 준비와 관련된 시험비용 및 시험소요 시간의 증가, 다양한 시험조건 설정 측면에서 어려움이 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하고자 시험 편의성 측면에서 축소형 주행시험대를 활용하고 있으나 국내에서는 아직까지 축소대차, 축소트랙 등의 기초적인 수준의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 철도차량의 동적 거동을 예측하는 방법으로서 소형탈선시뮬레이터를 이용하여 상사기법이 적용된 1/5 축소대차의 주행안정성 시험에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 또한, 시험데이터와 해석데이터를 비교·검증하기 위하여 상용해석프로그램을 이용하여 해석모델을 구현하고, 이를 이용하여 도향상에 따른 1/5 축소대차의 동적특성을 확인하였다.

A roller rig has been widely used in the study about dynamic stability and railway safety. However, the cost for constructing the roller rig and the difficulty in adjusting the design parameters for vehicle systems lead to the development of a small scale simulator which is cheaper than the large scale test systems and easy to control the parameters affecting dynamic characteristics of the railway vehicle. For the operation of the small scale test system called a small scale simulator, it is required to investigate the performance and characteristics of the system. This could be achieved by a comparative study between an analysis and an experiment. This paper presented the analytical model which could be used for verifying of the test results and understanding of the physical behavior of the dynamic system comprising the small scale bogie and the simulator.

The purpose of the present study is to develop conceptual design of a railway vehicle simulator based on a scaled model. Although the scaled simulator is limited in its ability to manipulate the full dynamics of a full-size railway vehicle, it has been known to have an advantage in that it could provide means of testing the fundamental dynamic behavior within a limited laboratory space and at low operation cost. The present study proposes a design strategy for a simulator so that a small scaled roller rig could be fabricated and operated in laboratory setting based on the design philosophy. The data obtained from experimental testing using a scale model can be used to verify and interpret the dynamic performance of full-scale railway vehicle by applying appropriate non-dimensional analysis.

The study is to develop a foundation design for a railway vehicle simulator using a scaled model. Although a scaled simulator is limited to manipulate the dynamics of a full-size railway vehicle, it has been known to have an advantage, since a scaled model could provide the fundamental dynamic behavior within a limited space of a laboratory facility and with a low operation cost while an experiment is conducted. This study is to propose a design strategy for a simulator so that a small scaled roller rig could be fabricated in a laboratory based on the design philosophy. The data obtained from the scale model is also experimentally investigated in conjunction with appropriate non-dimensional analysis so that the output results should be interpreted to the railway vehicle.

철도차량의 동적 거동 및 안정성 등을 예측하고 물리적인 특성을 이해하기 위하여 철도선진국인 영국, 프랑스, 일본 등에서는 축소모델 제작 및 시험하는 방법과 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 해석적으로 접근하는 방법이 사용되고 있다. 실물 규모의 동특성 시험은 대규모의 시험설비 구축에 따른 많은 비용과 시간의 소요, 그리고 시험 환경 설정의 어려움 등의 문제점이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 단점들을 극복하고자 상사법칙을 적용한 축소대차 모델을 이용하여 동적 시험 및 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통한 해석적 연구를 수행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소형탈선시뮬레이터를 이용한 1/5 축소대차의 주행안정성 시험에서 신뢰성이 검증된 해석모델을 이용하여 주행안정성에 미치는 매개변수 중 주행속도, 차체 하중의 2가지 변수에 따른 1/5 축소대차의 주행안정성 해석을 수행하고, 그에 따른 동적특성을 검토하였다.
