Railway noise and vibration has been recognized as major problems with the speed-up of rolling stock. As a kind of solution to these problems, the decrease of stiffness of track pad have been tried. However, in this case, overturning of rail due to lateral force should be considered because it can have effect on the safety of running train. Therefore, above two things - decrease of stiffness of track pad and overturning of rail due to lateral force - should be considered simultaneously for the appropriate determination of spring coefficient of track pad. With this viewpoint, minimum spring coefficient of track pad is estimated through the comparison between the theoretical relationship about the overturning of rail and 3-dimensional FE analysis result. Two kinds of Lateral force and wheel load are used as input loads. Extracted values from the conventional estimation formula and the Shinkansen design loads are used. It is found that the overturning of rail changes corresponding to the change of the stiffness of track pad and the ratio of lateral force to wheel load. Moreover, it is found that the analysis model can have influence on the results. Through these procedure, minimum spring coefficient of track pad is estimated.

A number of conventional railway bridge is more than 2600. Non-ballast plate girder bridge is about 700 and this is 27% of all bridge numbers. Non-ballast plate girder has advantages that self load is more lighter than moving load and construction cost is more inexpensive than concrete bridge. But non-ballast plate girder has disadvantages that vibration and noise is bigger than concrete bridge. This study had analyzed behavior of non-ballast plate girder according to the arrangement of supports and driving conditions to review the proper arrangement of support. Measurements were performed in single line and disel locomotive of 7400type were used as test vehicle. The vehicle's driving conditions are as follows; Change of driving direction, Constant speed driving, Deceleration driving, Acceleration driving. Main measurement contents were horizontal displacement and vertical vibration acceleration in girder of vicinity support. Results of measurement are as follows; In case that a vehicle drives from fixed support to movable support, vertical vibration acceleration of the girder was smaller than opposition case.

In this paper, a study on the efficiency improvement of the magnetic levitation train using the LIM (Linear Induction Motor) was presented. The maglev train has the advantage of being environmentally friendly since much less noise and dust is produced. However, due to structural limitation, compared to a rotating induction motor, linear induction motor, the main propulsion engine of the maglev train has a relatively greater air gap and hence has the lower operation efficiency. In this paper, the relationship between the operating condition of the train and the slip frequency has been investigated to find out the optimum slip frequency that might improve the efficiency of the magnetic levitation train with linear induction motor. The slip frequency is variable during the operation by this relationship only within a range that does not affect the levitation system of the train. After that, the comparison of the efficiency between the conventional control method with the slip frequency fixed at 13.5[Hz] and the proposed method with the slip frequency variable from 9.5[Hz] to 6.5[Hz] has been conducted by simulation using Simplorer. Experiments of 19.5[ton] magnetic levitation trains owned by Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials were carried out to verify the simulation results.

Dynamic irregularity and acceleration of bridges subjected to high-speed trains provide crucial information for comprehensive evaluation of the health state of under-track structures. This paper proposes a novel approach for real-time estimation of vertical track dynamic irregularity and bridge acceleration using deep generative adversarial network (GAN) and vibration data from in-service train. The vehicle-body and bogie acceleration responses are correlated with the two target variables by modeling train-bridge interaction (TBI) through least squares generative adversarial network (LSGAN). To realize supervised learning required in the present task, the conventional LSGAN is modified by implementing new loss function and linear activation function. The proposed approach can offer pointwise and accurate estimates of track dynamic irregularity and bridge acceleration, allowing frequent inspection of high-speed railway (HSR) bridges in an economical way. Thanks to its applicability in scenarios of high noise level and critical resonance condition, the proposed approach has a promising prospect in engineering applications.

When a train passes a conventional tunnel at high speed, an environmental noise issue arises by pressure variation and micro-pressure waves at the exit of the tunnel. It is known that this issue can be reduced by using dummy tunnel duct on the tunnel entrance. We studied the variances of micro-pressure waves at the exit of tunnel and pressure variation within the tunnel, by altering surface area and length of the dummy tunnel duct. For analyze this train-tunnel relation problem, axi-simmetric steady compressible flow solver was used. Changing the length of the dummy tunnel duct can adjust pressure variation, changing the surface area of the dummy tunnel duct can adjust volume and pressure variation of the micro-pressure wave. Thus, optimized surface area and length of the dummy tunnel duct can simultaneously reduce environmental noise pollution by micro-pressure wave and issues by the pressure variation.

철도운행에 있어 분기기는 열차를 주행선로에서 이웃한 선로로 이동시키는 매우 중요한 역할을 수행하는 장치로써 포인트부, 리드부 그리고 크로싱부로 이루어져 있다. 그러나 분기기는 레일 주변설비 중 유일한 가동부로 구조도 복잡하고 천이과정 중 차륜, 레일간의 급격한 운동변화가 필연적으로 발생되어 안전성 문제가 항상 거론되고 있다. 실제로, 국내외에서 차량의 탈선사고가 빈번히 발생되는 취약부위이기도 하다. 또한 차량, 궤도, 통신 그리고 전기 분야 등 분기기는 각각 다른 기능을 수행하는 매우 복잡한 장치들의 조합 시스템이므로 각각의 단위 개체들의 최적화만으로는 분기기의 전반적 성능을 향상시키기는 힘들며 이들에 대한 통합 기술의 확보가 필수적이다. 우리나라 철도는 기존선의 최고운행속도를 200km/h까지 향상 시키는 장기계획을 수립하고, 곡선부가 많은 우리나라 지형에 적합한 최고운행속도 180km/h의 틸팅열차를 개발 중이다. 그러나, 기존선로에 틸팅열차를 적용하기 위해서는 속고의 저감없이 틸팅열차를 통과시킬 수 있는 안정적인 분기기시스템의 확립이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 틸팅열차 통과 시 기존선 속도향상을 위해 개발된 개량분기기 주변의 소음진동 정도를 예측하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다.

Recently, the floating slab track that can effectively mitigate the vibration and structure-borne noise is being discussed to be adopted. The floating slab track which is a track system isolated from the sub-structure by vibration isolators. Unsimilarly to conventional track and the slab deflection is large. Therefore, the running safety and ride comfort should be investigated. Especially at slab joint since the load cannot be transferred, the possibility that the dynamic behavior of track and train became unstable is high. Thus, in general dowel bar are often installed at slab joints. To determine the appropriate dowel ratio the load transfer characteristics should be investigated. In this study, dowel bar joint is modeled by equivalent shear spring and this model is verified by comparison with experimental results. Using the proven model, the load transfer efficiency and deflection at slab joint according to dowel ratio, and stiffness and spacing of vibration isolator were examined.

Washed ballast is used on paved track to earn the high quality track performance. But, the water washing system caused the several environment problems such as the noise, dust and water pollution. Even if the washing is performed, it is difficult to earn the high quality because of the low efficiency of the water washing system. So, we developed the dry cleaning type machine to solve these problems. This machine excludes using the water completely. Especially, it is possible to organize on the conventional ballast cleaning train set.

고속철도는 일반철도와는 달리 터널구간에서 여러 가지 공기역학적인 문제가 발생한다. 개활지와 비교하여 크기가 매우 작은 터널에서 고속으로 운행하는 열차는 큰 공기저항을 받게 되어 주행 안정성이 떨어지고, 터널 내의 급격한 압력변동으로 객차 내 승객의 이명감 발생, 터널출구에서의 소음공해 등 일반철도에서는 예상치 못했던 문제를 유발시킨다. 이 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 고에서는 공기압의 특성 분석에 대하여 소개하고자 한다. 수치시뮬레이션을 통해 이명감 기준을 만족하는 최적의 단면을 검토하였다. 또한, 경부고속철도를 운행하는 열차에서 객차내 압력을 측정하였고, 화신5터널에서 터널내 압력 및 터널출구에서의 미기압을 측정하였다. 동시에 열차주행 모형실험을 수행하여 수치시뮬레이션의 입력조건으로 사용된 각종 매개변수 등의 적정성을 비교 검증하였다.
