High-speed train under development is a type of EMU(electric multiple units). Since power sources like motors and gears are distributed in the high-speed EMU, the high-speed EMU generates vibration and sound more than the articulated high-speed train. Vibration of vehicle, vibration between rails and wheels, hunting of bogie and snake motion reduce ride comfort. In this paper, to decrease the vibration of the articulated high-speed train, improvements were presented using an analytical model and a simulation model. The simulation model of the high-speed EMU was designed on the basis of the korean high-speed train and the design parameters for ride comfort were showed and the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle was understood. To consider the characteristics of the vehicle suspension, the analytical model was designed and the simulation model was verified with it.

High-speed train of push-pull type called as G7 train has been developed and chosen as the model of KTX-II which will be operated on Honam Line nexr year. However, the EMU-type high-speed train appeared to be the recent trend that foreign markets have shown. Also, in the near future, a great number of new train sets are needed to accommodate the increased passengers in our country. Thus, development of the high-speed EMU was decided, planned, and started. In the development, included were almost all fundamental key technologies such as noise and vibration reduction in a passenger cabin, running characteristics, aerodynamic analysis, crashworthiness evaluation, EMI/EMC analysis, design of the cooling system for the propulsion control system, enhanced performance of transformer and switching converters, synchronous traction motor with permanent magnets, new design of front nose and ergonomic interiors, application of advanced information technology(IT) and smart sensors and the cost reduction of construction of railway bridges, etc. Each key technologies are carried out as sub-project independently but under the supervision of a project. The project will develop the high advanced level of technologies and provide necessary know-why's and support the team in charge of the development of the high-speed EMU, Hyundai Rotem Co. Ltd. The high-speed EMU will be successfully developed with the support of the project.

In recent years, with the rapid development of large and medium-sized urban rail transit in China, the total operating mileage of high-speed railway and the total number of EMUs(Electric Multiple Units) are rising. The system complexity of high-speed EMU is constantly increasing, which puts forward higher requirements for the safety of equipment and the efficiency of maintenance.At present, the maintenance mode of high-speed EMU in China still adopts the post maintenance method based on planned maintenance and fault maintenance, which leads to insufficient or excessive maintenance, reduces the efficiency of equipment fault handling, and increases the maintenance cost. Based on the intelligent operation and maintenance technology of PHM(prognostics and health management). This thesis builds an integrated PHM platform of "vehicle system-communication system-ground system" by integrating multi-source heterogeneous data of different scenarios of high-speed EMU, and combines the equipment fault mechanism with artificial intelligence algorithms to build a fault prediction model for traction motors of high-speed EMU.Reliable fault prediction and accurate maintenance shall be carried out in advance to ensure safe and efficient operation of high-speed EMU.

This paper proposes a magnetic analysis model and design method of transformer for the high-speed EMU. It has a many part of the consideration in design because the transformer in high-speed train has the multiple output. Also the output characteristic, weight, and size of transformer is an important factor. This research proposes a design method of transformer in high-speed EMU. And it is easy to design by using the analysis model in design the transformer through the establishment of the magnetic analysis model.

This research studies the effects of community noise around railway, noise from the inside/outside noise of the High-Speed EMU. First study part of this year is research of the noise source. The modeling methodology for prediction of noise level including the frequency property, velocity dependence, sound pressure of noise source is investigate. Second part is research on the sound transmission loss. An exclusive program which could analyze the sound transmission loss of the floor, the sides(mirror), insulator in High-Speed EMU has to be developed. Third part is research on the train inside/outside and Prediction for community Noise. In order to predict the noise when the High-Speed EMU is traveling at the outside and along tunnels, the result of the research can be derived by evaluating the effect of the noise on the upper/middle parts of the carriage and on the railroad way round about with using the program.

The railway bridge design specification used in our country at present, is reflected results that take into account link between vehicle and roadbed according to decision of TGV vehicle style in 1994, and executes design verification. Hereafter, the particular loading condition and the design speed of the high-speed EMU that is recognized to the next generation of high speed railway, are plain difference with TGV vehicle style decided in 1994. The effect that these load and design speed get in roadbed, especially superstructure, displays difference with the existent high speed railway. The goal of this study is to choose the suitable bridge type, and to reduce the construction cost for the next generation of railway, i.e., the high-speed EMU.

Type of the high-speed train under development has been decided to be EMU(electric multiple Units) following the trend of the times, which is weak for vibration and noise due to the distributed traction unit of motors and gears than that of the articulated high-speed train. Also, passengers may feel uncomfortable at high-speed running due to the various vibration of vehicle itself and bogie, especially due to hunting, snake motion of the high-speed train. In this paper, explained was the program to develop the high-speed EMU at every step of basic and detail design and running test, predict and try to reduce the vibration.

The majority of high-speed railway bridges along the domestic Gyeongbu and Honam lines feature a PSC-box type structure with a span length ranging from 35 to 40m, which typically exhibits a first bending natural frequency of approximately 4 to 5Hz. When KTX high-speed trains transverse these bridges at speeds ranging from 290 to 310km/h, the vibration induced by the trains approaches the first bending natural frequency of the bridge. Furthermore, with the upcoming operation of a EMU-320 high-speed train and the anticipated increase in the speeds of these high-speed trains, there is a need to analyze the dynamic response of high-speed railway bridges. For this, based on measured responses from actual railway bridges, a numerical model was constructed using a numerical model updating technique. The dynamic response of the updated numerical model exhibited a strong agreement with the measured response from the actual railway bridges. Subsequently, this updated model was utilized to analyze the dynamic response characteristics of the bridges when KTX and EMU-320 trains operate at increased speeds. The maximum vertical displacement and acceleration at the mid-span of the bridges were also compared to those specified in the railway design standard with the increasing speed of KTX and EMU-320.

The Next-generation High-speed Rail Technology Development Project was started in 2007 by the Korean Government with the aim of developing the core technologies for a high-speed electric multiple unit (EMU) railway system. This is the first attempt to develop a high-speed EMU railway. High-speed EMU trains have superior acceleration and deceleration compared to push-pull high-speed railways such as KTX(Korean Train eXpress). A prototype train was developed and tested on a high-speed line starting in 2012. The new train must maintain running safety during the test. Generally, the international standard (UIC518) is adopted to evaluate the running safety of trains. This method suggests that the test zone must have over 25 sections, and the length of each section must be 500 m. However, it is difficult to implement these test conditions for a real high-speed line. In this study, we analyzed the running safety using several test section lengths (100 m to 500 m) and compared the results. The results of this study will be used to establish a running safety evaluation method for high-speed EMU railways.
