The suspension system of a subway vehicle is composed of $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ springs. The suspension system is the most important parameter in determining the vibration ride comfort. If the $1^{st}$ suspension spring is designed as a spring with strong stiffness to improve the running stability at high speed, it causes vehicle vibrations. In this paper, by testing and analyzing changes of the characteristics of Chevron springs, which have been the primary suspension springs used for about 20 years, we study how changing the characteristics affects vehicle acceleration and ride comfort. The lateral and longitudinal vibrational ride comfort index levels were lower than the vertical ones. Therefore, as increasing the stiffness of Chevron springs has the greatest effect on the vertical vibrational ride comfort index level, a countermeasure for vertical vibration reduction is needed when the stiffness increases owing to aging. Finally, maintenance guidelines, including the replacement time for the Chevron rubber, were proposed based on these findings.

The most important thing to secure safety and reliability of railway vehicles is to verify performance characteristics of equipments, and related companies or research institutes had many efforts to verify performances and functions of equipments synthetically and efficiently. KHST(Korean High Speed Train) has been developed by KRRI(Korea Railroad Research Institute). An electric railway system is composed of high-tech subsystems, among which main electric equipment such as transformers and converter are critical components determining the performance of rolling stock. We developed a measurement system for on-line test and evaluation of performances of KHST. The measurement system is composed of software part and hardware part. Perfect interface between multi-users is possible. A new method to measure temperature was applied to the measurement system. By using the system, fault diagnosis and performance evaluation of electric equipment in Korean High Speed Train was conducted during test running.

Since high-speed train is a dynamic load in which electric power is externally supplied, contact loss between the catenary and pantograph occurs. This phenomena including vibrations generates frequently irregular arcs, which, in turn causes EMI. Thus it is very important to develop the approach to reduce arc phenomenon by contact loss, as speed of electric railway vehicle increases. In case of an electric railway vehicle using electrical power, compared with diesel rolling stock, Power Line Disturbance(PLD) such as harmonics, transient voltage and current, Electromagnetic Interference(EMI), and dummy signal injection etc usually occur. In this study, the dynamic characteristics of a contact wire and a pantograph suppling electrical power to high-speed train are investigated with an electrical response point. To implement power line disturbance induced by contact loss phenomenon for high speed train operation, a hardware simulator which considers contact loss between contact wire and pantograph as well as contact wire deviation is developed. It is confirmed by the experiments that contact loss effect is largely dependent on voltage conditions when the contact loss occurs. Also, a passive filter is designed to reduce power disturbance and the designed system is verified by experiment.

레일 표면 결함에 대한 유지보수의 중요성이 KTX의 운행에 따라 더욱 증대되고 있다. 이는 고속 운행시 레일 표면 결함은 레일의 피로수명 단축과 궤도의 열화 증속 및 승차감 저하를 유발하기 때문이다. 본 연구는 KTX의 운행현황을 고려하여 경부 고속선의 레일 연마 기준을 제안하였다. 이를 위해서 경부 고속선에서 UIC 60 레일 시편을 체취하여, 현미경에 의한 미세 조직을 조사하고 경도를 측정하였다. 레일 표면 결함을 유발하는 RCF에 영향을 미치는 인자들로 통과 톤수, 주행속도 및 궤도상태를 고려하였다.

This paper is a study of the eddy current brake designed to replace the air brake of railway application. The eddy current brake has the advantage of being able to take a high current density compared to the other application because this brake is used for applying brakes to the rolling stock for a shorter amount of time. Also, this braking system has the merit of being able to take a high current density at low speed rather than at high speed, because the heat generated by the low speed operation is less than that of the high speed operation. This paper also presents a method of improving the output torque of the eddy current brake at low speed operation through a change of the winding as well as the basic design.

In this paper, collision analysis of the full rake for the Next Generation High-speed EMU is conducted using a 3D/1D hybrid model, which combines 3-dimensional (3D) front-end structure of finite element model and 1-dimensional (1D) multi-body dynamics model in order to analyze train collision with a standard 3D deformable obstacle. The crush forces, passengers' accelerations and energy absorptions of a full rake train can be easily obtained through a simulation of a 1D dynamics model composed of nonlinear springs, dampers and masses. Also the obtained simulation results are very similar to those of a 3D model if an overriding behavior does not occur during collision. The standard obstacle in TSI regulation has been changed from a rigid body to a deformable body, and therefore 3D collision simulations should be conducted because their simulation results depends on the front-end structure of a train. According to the obstacle collision analysis of this study, the obstacle collides with the driver's upper structure after overriding over the front-end module. The 3D/1D hybrid model is effective to evaluate a main energy-absorbing module that is frequently changed during design process and reduce the need time of the modeling and analysis when compared to a 3D full car body.

철도는 전 세계적으로 매우 안전하고 중요한 운송 수단 중 하나이다. 그러나 철도시스템이 복잡도가 높아지고 주행거리 증가 등으로 인해 매년 사고가 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 특히, 고속열차와 화물열차의 경우, 차축베어링 비정상 과열로 인하여 차축베어링의 기능이 소실되면 차축의 불균등한 하중을 초래한다. 따라서, 차축베어링의 비정상 과열은 심각한 사고 또는 차량 탈선의 원인이 될 수 있다. 이에 따라서 현재 고속열차 운행 중 차축의 비정상적인 발열을 검지하기 위하여 차축온도검지장치(Hot Box Detector, HBD)가 설치되어 운영되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비정상 차축 과열 발생시, 이를 빠르고 효율적으로 검지하기 위하여 지수가중이동평균(EWMA) 기법을 적용한 차축온도 모니터링 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 제안한 방법에 대하여 통계적으로 설계하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법은 현재의 차축온도검지 모니터링 방법과 비교하여 비정상 과열의 발생에 대하여 더 좋은 성능으로 평가되었으며 그 수행도는 최대 170% 향상되었다.

국내에서 운행중인 프랑스 알스톰에서 도입된 고속철도차량인 KTX의 승강문 접이식 발판이 유럽 표준 규격인 EN14752를 따르고 있으나 접이식 스텝 동작 시 발판 형성 폭이 200mm가 되어 국내 20세에서 60세의 발평균 사이즈인 253mm에 미치지 못하고 있다. 신체구조 상 신체 하중은 발 뒤축에 대부분 걸리므로 현재의 발판은 승하차 시 전도나 미끄러짐이 발생 할 수 있는 위험이 존재하고 있으며, 실제 발생을 하고 있다. 이에 기존 차량 조건 내에서 발판의 폭을 확대하여 스텝 개념설계(안)의 구조해석을 수행하고 이의 안전성을 검토하였다.

The bogie of Rolling Stock is the basic rolling component. It operates the train body, guides the body considering various tracks and offers comfort to passengers. We can verify the safety level of bogie about all factors through the first -grade scenario of Preliminary Hazard Analysis, but especially the horizontal acceleration sensor, equipped in each power bogie and trailer bogie, is the device, which makes it possible to test bogie instability and uncomfortable body movements by the method, similar to actual train driving, and in this context the necessity of this device becomes important. This paper would classify the main functions of driving sub system and examine the reliability, availability, maintainability and safety, which are main factors of RAMS. Especially, we would realize the bogie instability sensor with a simulator and offer the content in analyzing the data by the statistical method, which are obtained through the connected test with OBCS.
