A bimodal low-floor tram can provide the punctuality of trains and the flexibility of bus together to the passengers. Its propulsion system is a series hybrid type using a set of CNG engine generator and Li-polymer battery. This paper presents a development of the measurement equipment for fine-tuning of a series hybrid propulsion system of bimodal low-floor tram. Its configuration schemes are described and certified using the measurement data of bimodal low-floor tram.

One of the rolling stocks, low floor tram is recognized as the important alternative to improve traffic and environmental problems. There are many advantages of tram transportation system. It has, especially, low construction costs and easy accessibility. Trams operate with vehicles on roadways. The bogie configuration including traction motor of tramcar is different from that of conventional electric trains because tram has lower floor than train. In these reasons, the traction motors of tramcar are exposed to dusts, water and so on. Therefore, motors are designed by totally enclosed type. In this paper, we explain the design and test of totally enclosed traction motor for tramcar. Characteristic tests and temperature-rising tests were carried out in order to predict the performance of motor and the maximum temperature of coil.

The Wireless low floor tram uses the energy more effectively than other systems with onboard battery system. But for this the SOC(state of charge) management of the battery system is required. This paper is focused on the SOC management strategy of battery system for propulsion in wireless low floor tram. For minimizing consumption energy, the SOC management strategy that maximizes the regeneration energy is studied. The SOC operating region is divided to overcome the limited life cycle pointed out as a disadvantage of battery system. And the effective energy management strategy of tram is suggested through the charge/discharge of the battery system according to tram status in catenary/catenary-free section.

A bi-modal tram has been developing to consist of articulated-two cars propelled by CNG hybrid (series type) in Korea since 2003. All wheels are driven by electrical motors independently, which can eliminate differential gears to reduce turning radius and make low floor to provide the old and the handicapped with easy access. In the bi-modal tram, therefore, reduction gear unit is key technology to make low floor and drive wheels independently. This study was aimed at performance evaluations of the reduction gear unit for the bi-modal tram. Oil leakage, oil temperature, vibration, acoustic noise in idle operations were measured for the reduction gear unit of the bimodal tram.

The low-floor tram is a kind of railway vehicles which is operated on the street way track. For reducing the radius of curvature of the track, the tram consists of some carbody modules, and the articulation systems connect and support these carbody modules. The kind of articulation systems would be the hinge type and the pitching type. The hinge type articulation could allow only the yawing motion of the carbody modules, and the pitching type articulation could allow the pitching and yawing motions of the carbody modules simultaneously. With these function of the articulation systems, the tram could be operated on the horizontal and vertical curvature of the track. The number of each type of articulation could be decided with the number of carbody modules, and the manufacturer would decided the position of each type of the articulation in the view of the stability of carbody modules in the operation condition.

The first tram in korea was commended the operation from 1899 to 1968 as a core role of public transportation. However, tram recently is being recognized as an alternative against a traffic congestion, a super-aged society and an environmental pollution problem. Because of these advantages, we are trying to introduce tram in korea. The efforts to introduce trams have focused on the economic analysis for tram construction. But we must be interested in tram operational safety. Early opening tram accidents could affect a negative impact on the additional tram introduction. We are trying to introduce trams in Daejeon, Wi-Rye and Su-won. In this paper, I want to check the safety issues in tram operation phase.

A bimodal low-floor tram is designed to provide the flexibility of bus and the punctuality of trains together to the passengers. Its propulsion system is a series hybrid type using a set of CNG engine generator and Li-polymer battery. The present paper describes the specifications of the propulsion system in the bimodal tram which was drawn by a desirable driving cycle. In addition, it shows how the propulsion system of the bimodal tram can be controlled. With using a computer simulation tool of hybrid vehicles, ADVISOR, the performance of the bimodal tram was verified.

Bimodal tram with the hybrid propulsion and low floor is a new and beneficial vehicle for the public transportation which is good for both the convenience of the weakness and the prevention of the green house effect. Bimodal tram consists of a complicate electrical and mechanical systems. Each system does not operate with independent but with cooperative. So, we need a synthetic control management system for managing all system effectively. This paper has investigated the configuration and functions of VCU(Vehicle Control Unit) installed inside of bimodal tram which plays variable roles including the apparatus control and the condition monitoring.
