The interior noise of the High Speed Train(HST) is analyzed by applying the statistical energy analysis (SEA) method. The interior of each vehicle is divided lengthwise into nine cavities. Since the rolling noise and aerodynamics noise are expected to be dominant noise sources, they are treated as the noise sources in the model. To further simplify the model, curtains and seats are excluded. The simulation runs involving one-car, three-car and five-car trains are conducted. The maximum predicted noise level is 98.4dB. The results also show that the predicted noise levels are within 0.23% of each other. The results imply that it is not necessary to estimate the interior noise of the train by constructing multiple-car train models. The noise estimate based on just one-car train can be optimal with respect to the computational effort and modeling time.

These days the large-scale car accidents have often been occurred by overspeeding in disregard of sharp curve, foggy and freezing regions. This paper has proposed the algorithm to calculate the safety speed in real time that can protect the car accidents under these weather and road conditions using Fuzzy reasoning theory. Under raining and snowing, drivers have to slow down the traffic safety speed by 1/3 of the traffic safety speed indicated on the existing speed sign plate based on their decision. So it is difficult to calculate and then observe the safety speed. This paper has performed the simulation that provides the deivers with the optimal safety speed considering the road and weather conditions in real time to improve these problems. We have proved this method can improve more 25% than the existing one.

In this study, a numerical method which assesses running stability of freight car loading 300m CWR and structural safety of conventional railway track when passing over curves and steel girder bridges is presented. Optimal speed of the freight car is suggest on the basis of numerical reviews for stability of derailment of the freight car and structural safety of track at weak points of the conventional line.

In this study, a collision simulator for rolling stock that considers the plastic deformation of the car body and the dynamic characteristics of a coupler system was developed using Matlab/Simulink. Normally, a coupler system has functions for both connecting the individual car bodies and absorbing the impact energy. A coupler system is composed of a rubber buffer, hydraulic buffer, and deformation tube elements. The coupler system should protect the car body and prevent damage when the shunt speed is less than 10 km/h, which is the regulation speed based on the safety rule for rolling stock. However, if the shunt speed is greater than 10 km/h, a car body is plastically deformed. Therefore, the modeling of the plastic deformation of a car body should be included in a simulator. This collision simulator can provide the design parameters for a coupler system and car body.

This case study carried out a rear-end collision accident analysis and physical simulation of an SUV and passenger car. The speed of the SUV by physical analysis is 71 ~ 87 km/h, while the speed of the passenger car is 6 ~ 22 km/h. Simulation results showed the optimal speed conditions for the SUV was 71 km/h, and 7 km/h for the passenger car. Simulations can be verified for the collision analysis. The findings of this study are expected to increase the reliability of accident reconstructions.

As the train run through the tunnels, especially at high speed, pressure shock developed by the running train gives the influence on the pressure fluctuation inside the tunnel and consequently, inside the car. This pressure changes and pressure gradient is closely related with the tunnel section, train speed, air tightness of the train, length of the tunnel, etc. This study includes the analysis of the pressure behavior at the varied train speed and tunnel length. The results show that train speed affects the pressure gradient inside the car almost linearly, and that there exist the critical tunnel lengths that gives the maximum value of pressure change and pressure gradient, respectively.

To reduce the aerodynamic drag of high speed trains, aerodynamic drag of KTX-Sancheon was analyzed in detail according to individual components. Aerodynamic drag values of the power cars (front car, rear car) and bogies are about 42.9% and 10.1% of the total aerodynamic drag, respectively. For the aerodynamic drag reduction of a power-car, a nose shape optimization was conducted using the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno optimum method. Shape change of a power car and bogie fairing adaptation are used to reduce the aerodynamic drag of a car body. The aerodynamic drag of the optimized train-set dropped by 15.0% compared to the aerodynamic drag of the KTX-Sancheon; a running resistance reduction of 12% is expected at the speed of 350km/h.

The bogie of high speed freight car running on conventional line is welded bogie modeled on Y25 bogie developed in Europe. Y25 bogie has speed limit of 110km/h. But it has limiting factors to speed-up as increasing maintenance cost and friction parts pedestal. And also it was reported that cracks are found in the parts where center beam meet bolster and endbeam near bracket for braking part. This study includes stress analysis improved structure of welded bogie for strength evaluation by numerical method and experimental method. According to the study, new configuration bogie shows improvement in strength.
