This study was performed to improve the utilization of the ROPS and seatbelt of tractors in Korea. We surveyed the ROPS and seatbelt use and the tractor related accidents through the personal interviews for 141 farmers. And comfort test for tractor seatbelts is done for 4 different subjects by measuring the body pressure distribution. The survey showed that 79.3% of the tractor accidents was overturning accidents. And, in case the tractor has ROPS and seatbelt, there was no serious injuries. With this results, we could confirm that ROPS and seatbelt is very effective devices for protecting drivers in overturning accidents. But, in case farmers didn't wear seatbelt, there was some fatal injuries. This shows the importance of the seatbelt use in working and driving tractors. Therefore, we tested the comfort of the tractor seatbelt for 4 different subjects operating the pedal in tractor seat simulator and in the tractor running on various roads. From the results of the static test in the Lab, it was shown that more the seatbelt anchorage point is far form SIP point, more the body pressure of the belly became higher, and more the subjects feel uncomfortable. Not only in the static test in the simulator, but also in the dynamic test in riding tractors, it was shown that non retractable seatbelt was more uncomfortable than retractable seatbelt. According to this study, we concluded that we need to promote the utilization of the ROPS and seatbelt use. And, the non retractable seatbelt need to be replaced by retractable seatbelt. Also, we recommend that the seatbelt anchorage position should to be in the seatbelt anchorage area of the ISO 3776 standard.

공기 저항이 적은 아진공 상태의 튜브 안을 주행함으로써 초고속주행이 가능한 캡슐트레인은 부상 공극이 커서 인프라 건설 비용 절감에 유리한 초전도 유도 반발식 부상을 채택하고 있다. 초전도 유도 반발식 부상은 부상 공극을 크게 할 수 있고, 별도의 공극 제어가 필요 없는 장점이 있는 반면, 공극 변동량이 크고 부상력에 댐핑 특성이 작기 때문에 차량의 주행 안정성 및 승차감이 악화 될 수 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해서는 차량의 주행 동특성에 기반한 주행안정화장치를 설계하고 적용하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 캡슐트레인의 동특성을 모사하고 주행안정화장치의 성능을 사전에 검토할 수 있는 1/10 스케일의 축소형 시험장치를 개발하였다. 시험장치는 대차의 모션을 구현할 수 있는 6 자유도 스튜어트 플랫폼, 주행안정화장치가 적용된 2차 현가장치 및 차체로 구성되어 있다. Jaschinski가 제안한 동특성 상사 법칙에 따라 축소 시험장치를 제작하였고, 가이드웨이 불규칙도와 부상 강성이 반영된 대차 모션 구현 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 제작된 시험장치를 이용한 실험을 통해 얻어진 결과와 수치해석 결과와의 비교를 통해 시험장치의 성능을 검토하였다.

The 180 km/h Korean Tilting Train(TTX) which is now developing as a part of the Korean National R&D project, was elaborately designed. As the tilting trains run curve track with the $30\%$ higher speed than normal trains, the higher centrifugal and dynamic force are expected. Furthermore the complex tilting system increase the probability of failure. Therefore it is very important for tilting train to ensure safety against derailment under the various kind of failed condition in the middle of running as well as normal operating condition. The TTX train have the relatively high roll stiffness to improve the lateral ride comfort and to limit the roll displacement on the curve. But the higher roll stiffness increase the risk of derailment on the twisted track. This paper describes the study to review the safety against derailment caused by the wheel unloading on the severely twisted track. The worst combination of maximum cant change with maximum twist defect was established by numerical simulation. And also it was assumed that the air bag deflated and still the train run its speed limit. Those kind of assumption might be the worst case from the view point of wheel unloading derailment on the twisted track. The dynamic simulation was done by means of VAMPIRE S/W and non-linear transient analysis. We found that derailment quotients Q/P was only slightly influenced by track twist but the wheel unloading was greatly influenced. And we ascertained that the higher roll stiffness the higher wheel unloading. In case of air bag deflated situation, the wheel unloading reached up to $100\%$ which means the wheel lift or jumped. Therefore it was concluded that the design need to be improved to ensure the safety against derailment on the maximum twisted track in case of air bag deflated and tilting train's speed limit.

Magnetically levitated (Maglev) vehicles maintain a constant air gap between guideway and car bogie, and thereby achieves non-contact riding. Since the straightness and the flatness of the guideway directly affect the stability of levitation as well as the ride comfort, it is necessary to monitor the status of the guideway and to alert the train operators to any abnormal conditions. In order to develop a signal processing algorithm that extracts guideway irregularities from sensor data, virtual testing using a simulation model would be convenient for analyzing the exact effects of any input as long as the model describes the actual system accurately. Simulation model can also be used as an estimation model. In this paper, we develop a state-space dynamic model of a maglev vehicle system, running on the guideway that contains jumps. This model contains not only the dynamics of the vehicle, but also the descriptions of the power amplifier, the anti-aliasing filter and the sampling delay. A test rig is built for the validation of the model. The test rig consists of a small-scale maglev vehicle, tracks with artificial jumps, and various sensors measuring displacements, accelerations, and coil currents. The experimental data matches well with those from the simulation model, indicating the validity of the model.

The dynamic pricing of electricity, where the electricity rate increases in a time zone with a high demand for electricity is typically applied to a building whose power reception capacity is greater than a certain size. This includes the time of use(TOU) electricity pricing in Korea which can induce the effect of reducing the power demand of a building. Meanwhile, a VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) system that uses electricity is regarded as one of the typical heating and cooling systems along with central air conditioning (central HVAC) for its easy operation and application to the building. Thus, to reduce power energy and operating costs of a building in which the TOU and VRF systems are applied simultaneously, we suggested a control for changing the indoor temperature setting within the thermal comfort range or limiting the rotational speed of an inverter compressor. In this study, to describe the features of the above-mentioned control and verify its effects, we evaluated the results obtained from the analysis of its operation data. Through the actual measurements in winter operations for 73 days since mid- December 2014, we confirmed a reduction of 10.9% in power energy consumption and 12.2% in operating costs by the new control. Also, a reduction of 13.3% in power energy consumption was identified through a regression analysis.

With the growing traffic density and increasing comfort requirements, the automation of the drive train will gain importance in vehicles. The automatic clutch actuation relieves the drivers especially in urban driving and stop-and-go traffic conditions. This paper describes the dynamic modeling of a clutch actuator and clutch spring. The dynamic model of the clutch system is developed using MATLAB/Simulink, and evaluated by experimental data using a test rig. This performance simulator is useful to develop the clutch-by-wire (CBW) system for an automated manual transmission (AMT). The electro-mechanical type CBW system is also implemented as an automatic clutch for AMT. The prototype of CBW system is designed and implemented systematically, which is composed of an electric motor, worm gear and slider-crank mechanism. The test rig is developed to perform the basic function test of the automatic clutch, and the developed prototype is validated by the experimental data on the test rig.

본 연구에서는 승차감을 목적함수로 하고 궤도부담력을 경계조건으로 하는 곡선부 평면선형의 최적설계 기법을 제시하였다. 평면선형 최적화시 중요한 변수인 곡선반경-완화곡선장은 엄주환 등(2009)에서 제시한 결정방법을 적용하였으며 승차감 평가방법은 영국 BSI(2006)에서 제시하는 곡선부 전용 승차감 평가방법인 $P_{CT}$방법을 활용하였다. 또한 한국형 고속전철 G7(KTX-II)모델을 이용한 차량/궤도선형 상호작용 해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과, 최적선형조건은 교각 I(곡선부 양 끝단 직선과 직선이 만나는 교차각) 크기 및 곡선반경-완화곡선장 조합에 따라 다름을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Kufver(1997) 등에서 제시하는 간략화 해석방법과 유사한 경향이 나타남을 알 수 있었으나, 대부분의 경우 동적해석결과 값이 크게 나타났다. 따라서 곡선부 최적선형 설계시 동적해석과 간략화 해석을 병행한다면 신속하고 신뢰성 높은 최적선형을 결정할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
