This paper presents an experimental study on constructing a tunable secondary suspension for high-speed trains using magneto-rheological fluid dampers (referred to as MR dampers hereafter), in the interest of improving lateral ride comfort. Two types of MR dampers (type-A and type-B) with different control ranges are designed and fabricated. The developed dampers are incorporated into a secondary suspension of a full-scale high-speed train carriage for rolling-vibration tests. The integrated rail vehicle runs at a series of speeds from 40 to 380 km/h and with different current inputs to the MR dampers. The dynamic performance of the two suspension systems and the ride comfort rating of the rail vehicle are evaluated using the accelerations measured during the tests. In this way, the effectiveness of the developed MR dampers for attenuating vibration is assessed. The type-A MR dampers function like a stiffness component, rather than an energy dissipative device, during the tests with different running speeds. While, the type-B MR dampers exhibit significant damping and high current input to the dampers may adversely affect the ride comfort. As part of an ongoing investigation on devising an effective MR secondary suspension for lateral vibration suppression, this preliminary study provides an insight into dynamic behavior of high-speed train secondary suspensions and unique full-scale experimental data for optimal design of MR dampers suitable for high-speed rail applications.

In this paper, a high-performance control of the induction motor for electric car was implemented to escape dependence of the rare earth magnet. Proposed high-efficiency control algorithm is a Direct Rotor Field-Oriented Control method that is insensitive to the fluctuation of motor parameters. In the DRFOC method, we need to compensate fluctuation of stator transient inductance and magnetizing inductance caused by the magnetic saturation of induction motor in high-speed area. This paper proposes Back-EMF Observer based on stator current estimator of Luenberger style. Motor control system applied the Voltage Feedback Flux Weakening Control method for high-speed operation. The proposed algorithm was verified through tests by the power train of Extended Range Electric Vehicle consists of induction motor and differential gear.

고체 로켓추진기관을 이용한 자연공동형 수중운동체를 수중주행 시험하였다. 수중운동체의 속도 및 주행거리를 측정하고, 수중운동체 표면에 압력센서를 설치하여 초공동이 발달됨에 따라 표면 압력이 어떻게 변화하는지를 조사하였으며, 수중카메라를 설치하여 시험시 수중운동체에 초공동이 발생하여 진행하는 과정을 기록하였으며, 이를 이차원 비점성 이론해석법에 근거한 CNU-SuperCT 프로그램을 사용하여 계산한 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하였다. CNU-SuperCT 프로그램은 수중운동체의 조종면을 포함하지 않고 계산한 것을 고려하면, 시뮬레이션 결과와 측정결과가 잘 맞는다고 판단되며, 수중촬영결과도 이와 동일한 결과를 보인다.

The prototype of Korean high speed train (KHST), composed of two power cars, two motorized cars and three trailer cars, has been designed, fabricated and tested by the domestic researchers. In this paper, the body vibration has been reviewed from the viewpoint of the vehicle's safety and the vibration limits for components and sub-assemblies mounted on the car-body using by the experimental method. The on-line test of KHST has been carried out up to 260 km/h in the KTX line and proved that KHST has no problems in the vehicle's safety and the vibration limits at this speed. And the characteristics of body vibrations has been predicted at 300 km/h and 350 km/h by fitting curve about the measured acceleration signals.

고속축중기 시스템은 개별 차량의 통행속도 및 하중 정보를 수집할 수 있어 기존의 차량검지장비와 비교하여 다양한 활용이 가능하다. 그러나 고속축중기 원시 자료는 지점 검지 자료로 구간별 안전성 분석에 직접 적용하는 것은 한계가 있다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 고속축중기 자료 중 검지 시간, 검지 속도, 차량길이, 차량 종류, 차량 무게정보를 수집하여 대리안전척도로 이용한 상충률과 충격량을 산출하는 방법론을 제시하였다. 이를 통하여 고속도로 교통류 내의 추종관계 별 후미추돌 위험도를 분석하고 안전성을 평가하는 것이 가능할 것으로 판단되며 해당 구간 내 교통안전 위해차종 선별 및 계도 방안 모색에 기초연구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

After a lot of hard effort during last 50 years, we have been finally beared fruit of a high speed vehicle. But, A large percentage of the existing railways are actually being lasted it's last popularity because of the backward speed. The object of this research isn't supposed to make an effort for developing vehicle's speed with lower budget, but to evaluate it's efficiency. The time has come for upgrading train's lower speed with at the minimum of rail's changing. To solve this problem, we are describing that is how to control a transition curve of the railway.

A numerical model for analyzing air-train-track interaction is proposed to investigate the dynamic behavior of a high-speed train running on a track in crosswinds. The model is composed of a train-track interaction model and a train-air interaction model. The train-track interaction model is built on the basis of the vehicle-track coupled dynamics theory. The train-air interaction model is developed based on the train aerodynamics, in which the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method is employed to deal with the dynamic boundary between the train and the air. Based on the air-train-track model, characteristics of flow structure around a high-speed train are described and the dynamic behavior of the high-speed train running on track in crosswinds is investigated. Results show that the dynamic indices of the head car are larger than those of other cars in crosswinds. From the viewpoint of dynamic safety evaluation, the running safety of the train in crosswinds is basically controlled by the head car. Compared with the generally used assessment indices of running safety such as the derailment coefficient and the wheel-load reduction ratio, the overturning coefficient will overestimate the running safety of a train on a track under crosswind condition. It is suggested to use the wheel-load reduction ratio and the lateral wheel-rail force as the dominant safety assessment indices when high-speed trains run in crosswinds.

Vehicles have increasingly evolved and become intelligent with convergence of information and communications technologies (ICT). Vehicle communications (VC) has become one of the major necessities for intelligent vehicles. However, VC suffers from serious security problems that hinder its commercialization. Hence, the IEEE 1609 Wireless Access Vehicular Environment (WAVE) protocol defines a security service for VC. This service includes Advanced Encryption Standard-Counter with CBC-MAC (AES-CCM) for data encryption in VC. A high-speed AES-CCM crypto module is necessary, because VC requires a fast communication rate between vehicles. In this study, we propose and implement an efficient AES-CCM hardware architecture for high-speed VC. First, we propose a 32-bit substitution table (S_Box) to reduce the AES module latency. Second, we employ key box register files to save key expansion results. Third, we save the input and processed data to internal register files for secure encryption and to secure data from external attacks. Finally, we design a parallel architecture for both cipher block chaining message authentication code (CBC-MAC) and the counter module in AES-CCM to improve performance. For implementation of the field programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware, we use a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA chip. The entire operation of the AES-CCM module is validated by timing simulations in Xilinx ISE at a speed of 166.2 MHz.

The method of emission inspection for Heavy-duty diesel vehicles has been engine speed type Lug-down 3mode. This method could bring damage to decrepit vehicles under high speed and high load condition and it could not apply the driving pattern on the road. For these reasons, this study has started to create new emission inspection which is appropriate for Korea's road infrastructure. KD 147 would be applied to light-duty diesel vehicles from july 2010 after model operations. Therefore, this study has investigated new emission inspection system for heavy-duty diesel vehicles, except for light-duty diesel vehicles. In consideration of domestic conditions to meet the new load test method in this study, the Lug-down3 mode vehicle speed method was developed for the first time in korea.

The railway ECB(Eddy Current Brake) is used for high speed vehicle of railway like as TGV, ICE, JR-500 because it has stable braking force at high speed. But it is not effective at low speed and it is difficult to save energy due to the excitation of electro-magnet. Although ECB with permanent magnet is used for roller-coaster, it can not control the braking force without clutch. In this paper, the shield moving ECB with PM is proposed for application of railway vehicle. The angle of shield can be changed for various braking force. It changes the flux amount from PM, then the braking force will be reduced. The brake of 800W is simulated by using the software, "Ansoft Maxwell". The characteristics of braking will be shown by the shapes of magnet, disk and various speeds.
