A novel nondestructive testing (NDT) system, which is able to detect a crack with high speed and high spatial resolution, is urgently required for inspecting small cracks on express train wheels. This paper proposes an improved signal processing circuits, which uses the multiple amplifying circuits and the crack indicating pulse output system of the previous scan-type magnetic camera. Hall sensors are arrayed linearly, and the wheel is rotated with static speed in the vertical direction to sensor array direction. Each Hall voltages are amplified, converted and immediately operated by using, amplifying circuits, analog-to-digital converters and $\mu$-processor, respectively. The operated results, ${\partial}V_H/{\partial}t$, are compared with a standard value, which indicates a crack existence. If the ${\partial}V_H/{\partial}t$ is larger than standard value, the pulse signal is output, and indicates the existence of crack. The effectiveness of the novel method was verified by examine using cracks on the wheel specimen model.

This study investigated the causes and problems of train operation impediments through the statistics analysis of 8 years'internal data of Daejeon Metropolitan Express Transit. By evaluating the risks regarding the system, equipment, and parts of high risk group, this study measured the Risk Index Severity, and applied the $5{\times}5$ Risk Assessment Matrix which is a method of risk management to calculate the scale of risk to analyze the safety level and allowance range. As a result, the car sector, the most serious risk, followed by machinery and equipment sector showed that the inherent risk. In particular, the door broken and the door rail signaling and control devices due to defects of the vehicle is high, but also the severity, and frequency are showing very frequent additional potential accidents. PSD also had defects in the machinery sector appeared to be the most dangerous of the PSD poor safety gates, it was found that the glass also involve the risk of mishandling and breakage of the PSD. This study intended to contribute to the transportation benefits through the safety and stable operation of Metropolitan Express Transit.

Dong-tan Station, shared by high-speed railway and urban express railway, is a very complicated underground station having 6 tracks together with barrier and shafts between them, therefore it seems very hard to investigate the aerodynamic effects including the pressure variation and train gust in the station when a high-speed train runs through it. In this study, the aerodynamic effects on the structures and platform passengers when a high-speed train runs through an underground station have been studied using Computational Fluid Dynamics. STAR-CCM+ has been employed for numerical simulation based on Navier-Stokes equation and 2-equation turbulence model and moving mesh scheme supported by STAR-CCM+ has also been used to represent the relative motion between a train and station. Based on the simulation results, the unsteady flow fields in the underground station induced by the high-speed train have been analyzed and the pressures on the PSDs and pressure variation at the platform have quantitatively assessed.

현재 기존선에 설치되어 있는 ATS 지상신호시스템은 고속화에 어려움이 있으며 만약 열차운행속도 180km/h급 틸팅차량이 안전하게 운행하고자 한다면, 첨단기술을 이용한 차상신호시스템이 도입이 필요하다. 지상신호시스템의 고속화 적용에 가장 큰 장애 요인으로 작용하는 기관사 시인성 연구 결과에서도 열차 운행속도 160km/h 까지는 가능하나 그 이상의 속도에서는 기관사의 피로도 및 오동작 확률이 높아지므로 기존선 고속화를 위해 신호시스템을 차상신호 시스템으로 개량하는 것이 적합한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문은 최고운행속도 180km/h급 틸팅차량 TTX(Tilting Train eXpress)에 적합한 차상신호장치의 기본설계방안을 제시한다.

With the increase in population, the area of human activities has expanded, resulting in the dramatic increase in the need for transportation system. Tilting trains are currently in operation in 13 countries around the world. TTX(Tilting Train express) has been developed by KRRI(Korea Railroad Research Institute) for last 6 years to satisfy the need. This train developed in this Project is designed for a design speed of 200km/h and a maximum operating speed of 180km/h. We developed a measurement system for on-line test. the measurement console desk is mounted on T car, which is designed as the DAQ system train. It is comprehensive of the industrial computers, LCD monitors, communication cards and the communication channel measurement system. Using this system, SIV performance evaluation was conducted.

Recently, the growth of electric railway technology steadily keep up in the korea, and occupancy rate of electric railway system increased as a transportation method so energy consumption of railway system is increasing. According to this reason, the many studys of energy consumption in the railway system are in progress. In this context, the TTX(Tilting Train eXpress) needs to measure and analyze energy consumption and regenerative energy. In this paper, because of driving of TTX in the Ho-Nam railroad and Jung-Ang railroad, consumpted and regenerated energy are measured. This measured data is classified and analyzed as driving mode.

In this paper, traction system of a double deck train were designed to examine technical reasonableness for driving on the ground and underground. Double deck trains operated in other countries were also considered. For designing the electric devices, two types of accelerations and electric devices arrangements which are based on the current subway system were considered.
