The dynamic performance of railway bridges under high-speed trains draws the attention of bridge engineers. The vibration issue for long-span bridges under high-speed trains is still not well understood due to lack of validations through structural health monitoring (SHM) data. This paper investigates the correlation between bridge acceleration and train speed based on structural dynamics theory and SHM system from three foci. Firstly, the calculated formula of acceleration response under a series of moving load is deduced for the situation that train length is near the length of the bridge span, the correlation between train speed and acceleration amplitude is analyzed. Secondly, the correlation scatterplots of the speed-acceleration is presented and discussed based on the transverse and vertical acceleration response data of Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge SHM system. Thirdly, the warning indexes of the bridge performance for correlation scatterplots of speed-acceleration are established. The main conclusions are: (1) The resonance between trains and the bridge is unlikely to happen for long-span bridge, but a multimodal correlation curve between train speed and acceleration amplitude exists after the resonance speed; (2) Based on SHM data, multimodal correlation scatterplots of speed-acceleration exist and they have similar trends with the calculated formula; (3) An envelope line of polylines can be used as early warning indicators of the changes of bridge performance due to the changes of slope of envelope line and peak speed of amplitude. This work also gives several suggestions which lay a foundation for the better design, maintenance and long-term monitoring of a long-span high-speed bridge.

Computer aided simulation is becoming an essential part in planning, design, and operation of railway systems. To determine the adequate performance and specification of railway system, it is necessary to calculate rotting stock's performance such as distance, speed, power etc when train's running. This paper presents result of train performance simulation using the program that developed in advance for Korea high speed train. To verify result of simulation, we have compared that with experiment data.

Design target values of transmission loss in a high-speed train wall are suggested by calculating the difference between interior and exterior noise levels of it. Exterior noise level distribution on the boundary of train wall is calculated by Sysnoise, with sound source input prepared by experiments. Two kinds of exterior sound sources are considered, the rolling noise of train wheels on the rail and the aerodynamic noise from the pantograph. Interior noise level is provided by high-speed design target. Transmission loss characteristics according to the frequency band are examined.

The purpose of this study is to develop high-speed rotary tillage system for a power tiller by improving the rotary blade and the power train of transmission. Mechanical structure of gear train of rotary drive of conventional power tiller was simplified so that power can be transmitted directly from second shaft to tilling speed change shaft by rotating freely the transfer gear which changes the direction of rotation of shafts using needle bearing installed into middle shaft. A new gear train suitable for the single-edged rotary blade and high-speed rotary drive was developed with the rotational speed of rotary shaft faster than 7.5% at 1st-speed and 1.4% at 2nd-speed the one of conventional system by changing the numbers of teeth of gears of middle shaft, tilling speed change shaft and PTO shaft. Using the developed gear train for high-speed rotary drive, field tests were performed to compare tillage performances by the developed single-edged blade and by the conventional double-edged blade. The results showed that the performances by the single-edged blade compared with the one by the double-edged blade was improved about 18% in field capacity, about 34% in fuel consumption, and 9.4% in soil crushing ratio. Therefore, it may be concluded that tillage performance by the single-edged blade was improved compared to the one by the conventional blade. Evaluation of the developed system consisting of single-edged blade and gear train for high-speed rotary drive in field revealed that tillage performance of the developed system was similar to the one of field test conducted using the system consisting of single-edged blade and gear train for rotary drive of conventional power tiller However, considering the higher cone index of the upland field where evaluation was carried out compare to the one of the ordinary paddy field, it may be concluded that tillage performance of the developed rotary tilling system better than the one of conventional system.

A series do wind tunnel tests were conducted for Korean high-speed train model with various shape components to assess the contributions to aerodynamic drag. In order to elucidate the ground effects, two different wind tunnels, one with a moving ground system and the other with a fixed ground, were used for the same model and the results of both were compared and analyzed in detail. The result show that a suitable ground simulation is necessary for the test of a train model with many cars and detailed underbody. But the relative difference of the drag coefficients for the modifications of shape components can be measured by a fixed ground test with high accuracy and low cost. The effects of the nose shape, the inter-cargap and the bogie-fairing on total drag were discussed and some ideas were prosed to decrease the aerodynamic resistance of high speed train.

To improve traction effort performance and stability for the Korean High-Speed Railway Train, practical re-adhesion controller including a novel anti-slip control scheme is proposed. The presented method is verified by train running simulation results based on induction motor vector control with PWM inverter.

This paper examines the impact of introducing high-speed trains on consumer welfare, taking the ensuing changes in train schedules into account. Based on the estimated demand model for travel which incorporates consumer's heterogeneous preferences for travel schedules into the standard discrete-choice model, I separately evaluate the impact from adding high-speed trains and that from changes in train schedules. The results indicate that consumers who travel between two cities connected by high-speed trains benefit from the introduction of high-speed trains, while some travelers whose choice set does not include high-speed trains face a reduced frequency of non-high-speed trains, resulting in significant losses.

The experiments for aerodynamic characteristics of railway acoustic screen are performed using 1/61 scaled-down moving model rig facility which employs an axis symmetry and one wire guidance method. The launching mechanism is an air-gun type. The train model for the experiment is the high speed train (Korea Train Express: KTX) and the tested speed is about 300 km/h. The tested train length is 61 em which is corresponding to two units of KTX train. The cross sectional area and weight of train model are 0.00264 $m^2$ and 287 g, respectively. The Reynolds number based on the model train length is $1.2{\times}10^7$. The strength of pressure wave is measured using piezo typed pressure sensor. The measured pick value of pressure was as high as 365 Pa in the shortest gap between the acoustic screen and model train. The measured pressure is well compared with the field test data of mc 779-1 [2] values. However, the experimental data were slightly lower than the mc 779-1 values. The results show the model test can be used as a substitute for the field test.

본 연구는 고속열차가 개활지와 터널을 운행할 때, 풍압과 교행 등에 의한 외력이 차량에 가해질 때 고속열차의 주행안정성에 대해 고찰하기 위하여 진행되었다. 고속열차 교행에 의한 외력이 없을 때, 400 km/h 속도로 주행 시 8량 1편성의 고속열차의 주행안정성을 검토한 결과 윤중 감소량, 횡압, 탈선계수는 국내 법규인 고속철도차량 기술기준의 주행 안전 부분을 만족하였다. 선로중심 간격 4.6 m일 경우 터널 내, 개활지 강풍이 없을 때 고속열차 교행에 의한 외력의 영향은 차체의 횡가속도에 조금 영향을 주나 윤중 감소율, 횡압, 탈선계수에는 크게 영향이 없고, 고속철도차량 기술 기준에서 허용하는 기준치 이내였다. 선로중심 간격이 4.6~5.0 m이고, 열차가 400 km/h로 주행 시 개활지 강풍 20 m/s 및 교행에 의한 외력이 있을 때 윤중 감소율, 횡압 및 탈선계수는 허용치 이내이고, 강풍 30 m/s 및 교행에 의한 외력이 있을 때 윤중 감소율 및 횡압은 허용치를 초과하고, 탈선계수는 허용치 이내였다. 이 결과로 400 km/h급 고속열차는 풍속이 20 m/s 정도까지 안전하게 운행할 수 있으며, 풍속이 30 m/s에서는 감속 운행이 이루어져야 할 것으로 예측되었다.

2004년 4월 우리나라에 고속열차를 운행한지 5년이 되었다. 프랑스 TGV 열차를 한국형 지행과 환경에 최적으로 개량한 열차가 KTX 열차이다. 고속열차에 대한 연구와 개발로 차량의 외형적 장치 설계는 독자적인 설계 능력을 갖추었으나, 고속열차 열차제어진단장치 설계는 모방의 수준에 머물려 있다. KTX의 열차의 진단제어데이터를 분석하기 위해 VME 분석장비를 사용하여 수집하는 방법과 제어데이터구조를 분석하여, 열차제어진단장치에 대한 운용능력과 설계능력을 갖추어야 한다. 다양한 고속열차가 선로에 운용됨에 따라 철도운용자에게 필요한 다양한 열차제어진단에 대한 사전 대비를 함으로서, 고속열차 안전운행과 운용정비 절감을 위해 필요하다. 단일화된 열차제어진단 설계로 한국형고속열차 제작 능력뿐만 아니라, 운용능력 향상으로 고속철도 운영국가로서 위상이 확립되어야 한다.
