So far today, there is a speed limit by the radius of curve based on operation regulation in domestic railway, however a study for the maximum running speed at the curved section without any derailment would be necessary. The two major factors related to the running safety of railway vehicle are classified as the railway vehicle condition and the track condition. In terms of the rail inclination among many other factors, the determination of rail inclination within the possible limit is necessary for the geometrical structure of the optimum track. The disregard of the geometrical parameter related to the rail inclination may cause a serious problem to the running safety of railway vehicle. This study is focusing on the analyzing of running safety regard to the change of rail inclination among the many other parameters to improve derailment safety, so that there is an affection analysis of the running safety regard to the change of rail inclination in the ideal and geometric track condition. Also There is an affection analysis of the running safety regard to the simultaneous change of rail inclination and the running speed at the curved section. According to analysis results of running safety, In case that the left and right rail inclination are 1/40, the running safety of this condition defined than other conditions. Also, the rail inclination of conventional lines is 1/40, Therefore, the railway vehicle passing through curve is safe when the railway vehicle runs in conventional lines.

The coefficient of derailment and the rate of wheel load reduction were used as the index of train running safety that was directly affected the train derailment safety. In aspects of track, the train running safety depends on the complex interaction between wheel and rail, and the track-vehicle conditions (i.e., the curvature, cant, track system, vehicle speed and the operation conditions, etc). In this study, the relationship between the train running safety and the track curvature and vehicle speed for direct fixation concrete tracks currently employed in Korean light rapid transit was assessed by performing field tests using actual vehicles running along the service lines. The measured dynamic wheel load, lateral wheel load and lateral displacement of rail head were measured for same train running on four tested tracks under real conditions, which included curved and tangent tracks placed on the tunnel and bridge, thus increasing the train speed by approximately maximum design speed of each test site. Therefore, the measured dynamic track response was applied to the running safety analysis in order to evaluate the coefficient of derailment, the rate of wheel load reduction and the track gauge widening at each test site, and compare with the corresponding Korean train running safety standard. As the results, the lateral track response of direct fixation concrete track appeared to increase with the decreased track curvature; therefore, it was inferred that the track curvature directly affected the train running safety.

Railway systems are one of the best mass transit systems and many people have prevented incidents/accidents and reduced fatalities remarkably. Especially we have tried analyzing and finding the measures to prevent catastrophic accidents like train collision, derailment and fire because of their severities. It is important to assess the safety performances of railway systems like crash-worthiness analysis, body, derailment affecting factor analysis and so on for reducing and finding out the reasonable causes of disastrous accidents. In this paper the refined top-level system requirements to build-up national infra for assessing railway safety performance and the procedures and methodology for reviewing, verifying and validating infra requirements are explained. Basically the authors have used system engineering processes to analyze and verify the requirements and installation procedures and have tried maximizing the practicality of the various safety assessment systems.

The important factor to evaluate the running safety of a railway vehicle would be the interaction force between wheel and rail(derailment coefficient), for which is one of important factors to check the running safety of a railway vehicle that may cause a tragic accident. In this paper, analysis of coupling term between vertical load and lateral load for install load cell to wheel-set. This result is going to be utilized in formality that verify running safety of tilting vehicles.

The railroad is a means of large transportation which has many talents such as a safety and a regularity. That is a results from various confidential performance tests and evaluations of the system. The railroad system consist of various subsystems - vehicle, power supply, signal, communications, track structures, operations, etc. Among them, as an item of safety evaluation there is a measurement of wheel/rail force, so called a measurement of derailment coefficient. This is a very important item because a derailment of a train will bring about a big accident. Especially it is more inportant in high speed rail of which operation speed is over two times as fast as existing rail. In this paper, it is introduced to preprocess the wheelset for measuring wheel/rail force of high speed rail, such as to treat a measuring wheelset, its finite element analysis, adhesion of strain gauges and static load test.

In this paper, we would like to explain about the structure analysis of wheel set as variation of contact position between wheel and rail. Measurement of interacted force between wheel and rail is necessary for running safety evaluation as important factor of derailment mechanism. It's necessary to running safety evaluation of rolling stock. Wheel unload and lateral force change as variation of contact position between wheel and rail. Interacted force between wheel and rail got as each contact position through computer simulation. This is necessary process as first research for evaluation of derailment phenomenon and running safety.

기존선 속도향상 시에 주행안전성을 고려한 기존선 구간별 최대 운행가능속도에 대한 실용적인 기준 을 제시하여 기존선의 곡선부 및 완화곡선부 통과 시 속도를 향상시켜야 한다. 본 연구에서는 탈선의 위험도가 높은 곡선부 통과하는 열차의 고속향상을 도모하기 위하여 실제 선로조건인 남성현-청도 상 하행 구간에서의 곡선부 구간별 통과시 주행안전성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 곡선반경별 주행속도를 실제 선로 조건에서의 기존 속도 대비 5-20% 향상시켜 주행안전성 해석을 수행하였다. 주행안전성 해석 결과, 기존 주행속도 대비 약 15% 이하의 속도조건에서는 탈선 계수와 윤중감소율이 허용기준 이내로 나타나 남성현-청도 상 하행 전 구간 내에서 속도 향상의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

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.

In this study, the track-bridge interaction analysis was performed using an analytical model considering the track structure, thereby taking into account the linear conditions (R=650 m, cant variation $160{\pm}60mm$) and the dynamic characteristics of the bridge. As a result of the study, the allowable speed on the example bridge considered was calculated at 200 km/h based on vertical deflection, vertical acceleration, and irregularity in longitudinal level, but was also evaluated at 170km/h based on the coefficient of derailment, wheel load reduction, and lateral displacement of the rail head. It is considered desirable to set the speed 170km/h to the speed limit in order to secure the safety of both the bridge and the track. It is judged that there will be no problems with ensuring rail protection and train stability in the speed band.
