In recent years, mechanical systems such as high speed vehicles and railway trains moving on elastic beam structures have become a very important issue to consider. In this paper, a general approach, which can predict the dynamic behavior of a constrained mechanical system moving on a flexible beam structure, is proposed. Various supporting conditions for the foundation support are considered for the elastic beam structure. The elastic structure is assumed to be a non-uniform and linear Bernoulli-Euler beam with a proportional damping effect. Combined differential-algebraic equation of motion is derived using the multi-body dynamics theory and the finite element method. The proposed equations of motion can be solved numerically using the generalized coordinate partitioning method and predictor-corrector algorithm, which is an implicit multi-step integration method.

Recently, mechanical systems such as a high-speed vehicles and railway trains moving on flexible beam structures have become a very important issue to consider. Using the general approach proposed in the first part of this paper, it is possible to predict motion of the constrained mechanical system and the elastic structure, with various kinds of foundation supporting conditions. Combined differential-algebraic equation of motion derived from both multibody dynamics theory and finite element method can be analyzed numerically using a generalized coordinate partitioning algorithm. To verify the validity of this approach, results from the simply supported elastic beam subjected to a moving load are compared with the exact solution from a reference. Finally, parametric study is conducted for a moving vehicle model on a simply supported 3-span bridge.

In this paper, computer simulation model of handrail band including pulley-driving system is developed to calculate handrail slippage. This handrail simulation model is validated with test result within operating range and used to predict its slippage behavior with respect to variation of 4 different design parameters considering the applicability into the real handrail system. Based upon this parameter study, optimal condition for handrail slippage improvement is proposed without time-consuming and costly experiments of the real handrail system. And then performance improvement of handrail slippage complied with safety code is achieved after applying the optimal condition into the real handrail band system.

본 논문에서는 기존의 적응필터인 LMS(Least Mean Square)와 RLS(Recursive Least Square)의 수렴속도의 향상과 안정성을 개선하기 위한 방안을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 시간영역 LMS 알고리즘보다 상당히 빠른 수렴속도를 보일 수 있도록 설계하였다. RLS 알고리즘는 역행렬연산으로 인한 연산량이 많고 자기상관행렬이 positive definite 특성을 잃어버릴 경우 시스템이 수치적으로 불안정하게 되어 발산하는 단점이 있다. 이런한 단점을 보완하기 위해 제안된 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 기존의 알고리즘은 전력 정규화 과정에서 입력신호의 변환이 백색화가 완전히 이루어지지 않게 되어 자기상관행렬이 순수한 대각행렬이 되지 않는 단점을 지니고 있으나, 본 연구에서는 이러한 대각화 과정에서 좀더 많은 정보를 포함하도록 설계하였다. 아울러 제안된 알고리즘을 적응 등화기에 적용하여 수렴속도가 개선됨을 검증하였다.

Universal Design involves designing products and spaces so that they can be used by the widest range of people possible. Universal Design evolved from Accessible Design, a design process that addresses the needs of people with disabilities. This paper introduces the universal design concept through analysis of causes of railway accident within the urban railway station. Railway accident analysis was performed by the internal facilities. We analyzed the standard of accident type, accident cause and accident subject such as elevator, escalator, stairs etc.

Escalators are widely used for mass transportation in public places. In recent years, strict requirements on the comfort and reliability for the public transportation have drawn a great attention to vibration in escalators. This paper presents a dynamic model for escalators to be used for the analysis and design of low vibration escalators. The dynamic model is developed so as to reflect the physical observation on peculiar characteristics in escalators such as the difference between up-moving and down-moving, and the abnormal vibration affected by the load applied. For validation of the dynamic model developed, experimental results are compared with numerical results from the model. The numerical study shows that the developed model may be useful for the analysis and design of escalator systems.

Numerical analysis has been conducted to simulate pedestrian flow in the model of two-storied subway station. Because almost all the subway stations are two or three storied structure, simulations are conducted for the passengers those who get off the train and pass the wicket. Passenger flow analysis is very important factor to design the station and also to manage the operation of subway system. In the subway station, pedestrians move to the horizontal directions as well as vertical ones. Therefore, to consider the movement of pedestrians is necessary for the guarantee of safety and conveniency. As the up and down floors are connected with step, escalator and elevator, the entire movements in the multi-storied station should be simulated as like a 3-dimensional flow. Numerical schemes for the directional sweeping are developed to prevent the dependency on physical structure of station and to determine primary direction and secondary one. By using the developed program, we compared the simulation results of the effects of the location and size of exit and elapsed time.

Safety of Station electric equipment is not analysed yet. this paper try the safety first times on the basis of hazards which railway stations contain. The stations use many electric equipment such as lights, escalator and elevator for facilitating for passengers and public moving, HVAC system making good environment and so on. The electric equipments could be changed to harmful systems to passengers and publics resulting from abnormal operation condition. To ensure safeties in the station, we need to identify and analyse the hazards in the station and to provide risk mitigation methods. In this paper, we shows processes and methods to ensure the safety, how to identify and analyse the hazards. Finally, we demonstrate how to mitigate the potential risks in the stations.
