Kyung-p-1 main line is characterized by its curves radii of which are considerably small. It is essential for running time reduction of train to improve capabilities of curve negotiation. This improvement can be achieved by designing a bogie with flexible suspension system. The effect of the improvement is mainly concerned in the primary yaw stiffness of bogie suspension. This paper gives a linear analysis for the motion of railway vehicle on curved track and gives also computer simulation results for Semaul Train. The results introduce a conclusion that the primary yaw stiffness of Semaul train is too rigid to be self-steering on Kyung-pu main line curves.

This paper presents a method to design an adaptive controller for the kinematic model of a two-wheeled welding mobile robot (WMR) with unknown parameters. We propose a nonlinear controller based on the Lyapunov function to enhance the tracking properties of the WMR. The WMR can track any smooth curved welding path at a constant velocity of the welding point. The system has three degrees of freedom including two wheels and one torch slider. Torch slider motion is used for fast tracking. To design the tracking performance, the errors from WMR to steel wall is defined, and the controller is designed to drive the errors to zero as fast as possible. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is shown through simulation results.

This paper proposes an adaptive controller for partially known system and applies to a two-wheeled Welding Mobile Robot (WMR) to track a reference welding path at a constant velocity of the welding point. To design the tracking controller, the errors from WMR to steel wall is defined, and the controller is designed to drive the errors to zero as fast as desired. Additionally, a scheme of error measurement is implemented on the WMR to meet the need of the controller. In this paper, the system moments of inertia are considered to be partially unknown parameters which are estimated using update laws in adaptive control scheme. The simulations and experiments on a welding mobile robot show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Passengers in automobile or train are exposed to a worse noise environment when they are in the tunnel than in the open field. This is due to a relatively higher space density of sound energy by multiple reflection phenomenon of noise generated by operation of transportation vehicles from tunnel wall compared to open field. In this study, noise characteristics of subway train running through a tunnel were investigated at straight/curved track and tunnel type(semi circular/box). Also the noise measured simultaneously at inner and outer sides of train running through a tunnel, so that the coherence of the various noise sources of subway train to inner noise was evaluated.

TTX(Tilting Train Express), which has improved traveling performance on curved track, is being designed in cope with future railway circumstance. Nowadays, in the world, many efforts are focussed on railway safety. Especially, a variety of researches on train crashworthiness have been conducted. As a part of these efforts, some equipments on TTX are designed to reduce fatalities and casualties in crash accidents. This paper introduces impact energy absorbtion characteristics on the initial design of the front end structure. Some comments are made briefly for improvement of initial structural design and future following researches.

본 논문은 열차 곡선부 노선에서 발생하는 진동크기의 예측을 위한 것으로, 곡선부를 주행하는 틸팅차량에 의해 발생하는 진동크기를 수치해석적으로 예측한 결과이다. 곡선부를 주행하는 틸팅차량에 의한 진동의 특징으로, 진동의 방향성분을 들 수 있다. 진동의 방향성분은 직선 구간에서는 수직성분이 월등히 우세하나, 곡선구간에서는 수평성분이 크게 증가한다. 틸팅차량의 경우, 일반열차에 비해 곡선구간에서의 높은 속도로 인해 수평성분이 크게 발생한다. 따라서 틸팅차량의 주행에 의한 인근 지역에서의 진동환경을 파악하기 위해서는 수직성분 뿐 아니라 수평성분의 정확한 파악도 필요하다. 이러한 진동의 방향성분은 근거리 또는 원거리 영역에 따라 달라져, 이의 파악을 위한 연구가 필요하다.

The safety of tilting train running on curved track is, in general, evaluated with a derailment coefficient calculated by the ratio of wheel load and lateral force, Particularly on curve, the wheel load and lateral force on rail may cause trackbed to be deformed, depending on their intensity, and moreover, often result in critical accident such as derailment. This study hence was intended to identify the cause of wheel load and lateral force so as to suggest the allowable wheel load reduction rate, lateral force limit and derailment coefficient, thereby quantitatively evaluating the operational safety of tilting train. This study therefore was aimed to analyze the wheel load and lateral force occurred during tilting train's operation on circular curve in such a way of comparing with traditional trains, by axle and speed, in a bid to eventually evaluate the operational safety of tilting train.

This study have been performed to investigate the dynamic behavior of the Korean High Speed Train(KHST) during the conceptual design process. This study gets a focus on the analysis of the rigid model, for which the yaw damper layout is modified in a nonlinear limit cycle analysis. In this study, influences of the system parameters such as stiffness of suspension and connection elements as well as damping coefficients were studied and an optimized parameter set is achieved. Throughout the dynamic calculation of KHST on the straight and the curved track, vibration accelerations in car body, ride comforts and wheel rail forces are investigated. Finally the vibration characteristics from rigid car body are compared with those due to the influence of elastic car body.

Rotem has been using VAMPIRE for simulation and verification of the railway vehicle design. To improve the capability and accuracy of the analysis ability, ADAMS/Rail has been chosen as the next generation analysis tool. The dynamic performance of the railway vehicle, which is designed and manufactured by Rotem, is analyzed and simulated using ADAMS/Rail. The critical speed for linear and non-linear stability on tangent track, curving performance on various curved tractk, ride quality, derailment coefficient and the eigen values are calculated. In this paper, the results from ABAMS/Rail are compared with VAMPIRE's results.

There are two types of railway alignment design. First type is a modification of existing railway and second type is a planning of whole new alignment. Modification of existing railway would be more simpler, usually, main scope is improving a capacity with adopting standard track gauge, straighten intensively curved part. But planning new alignment should be considered various factors, not only topographic feature, but cultural, socio-economical, environmental factors. This paper is based on the performed project in the United Arab Emirates, the Arabian Peninsular, with Korea railroad corporation, Korea Rail Network Authority, and other skilled Korean design firms participated on May, 2006.
