Electromagnetic suspension, the suspension system used for Maglev trains, is now being applied to urban and inter-city transportation systems, offering environmental benefits. This suspension system is actively controlled to stabilize the suspended vehicle as it runs over an elevated guideway, which, for various reasons, may have deviations in its height. For this reason, frequency responses of the suspension to height deviations must be predicted in the system design cycle. The equations of motion of the electromagnetic suspension employing the 5 state feedback control law are derived for frequency analysis. The results of this paper could be used to determine design requirements for the urban Maglev transportation system currently under development in Korea.

The levitation system of Maglev is composed with electro-magnet, power supplier, controller and sensor. The complex interactions between above subcomponents define the characteristics of electromagnetic suspension of the vehicle. In this study, to understand the influence of controller on the running performance of Maglev, the new controller based on LQ theory will be designed and be simulated with simplified vehicle model. Then the influence of controller on the characteristics of electromagnetic suspension will be reviewed through comparison with existing control algorithm of our prototype vehicle.

Station is an important building in high-speed railway, and its vibration and noise may significantly affect the comfort of waiting passengers. A coupling vibration model for train-structure system is established to analyze and evaluate the vibration level of a typical waiting hall under dynamic train load. The motion of a four-axle vehicle with two suspension system is modeled in multi-body dynamics with linear springs and dampers employed. The station is modeled as a whole finite element structure which is 113 m in longitudinal and 163.5 m in lateral, and the stiffness of the station foundation is considered. According to the assumptions that both wheel and rail are rigid bodies and keep contact to each other in vertical direction, and the wheel/rail interaction and displacement coordination in horizontal direction is defined by the simplified Kalker creep theory, the vehicle spatial vibration model has 27 degrees-of-freedom. An overall analysis procedure is made of the train moving through the station, by which the dynamic responses of the train and the station are calculated. According to the comparison between analysis and test results, the actual connection status between different parts of the station is estimated and the vibration level of the waiting hall is evaluated.

The air spring is used in secondary suspension system for railway vehicle to reduce and absorb the vibration and noise. In this paper, the characteristics and durability test was conducted in laboratory by using servo hydraulic fatigue testing system to evaluate the reliability. And to guarantee the adaptation of this air spring, the ride comfort and air pressure variation were measured in train test. The experimental results show that the characteristics and durability of domestic development productions are obtained the good results and the stiffness of the air spring which had become 6 year over increased. Also, the dynamic characteristics of domestic and existing product agree well the results obtained.

The dynamic characteristic of bogie that is driving system of railway vehicle is very important regarding decision of vehicle characteristics as running safety and comport. The dynamic characteristic test of bogie is tested on full size in place on field testing on track. But, the testing on the full size caused many problems. To overcome these problem by full size test, the Railway Safety Research Center in Seoul National University of Science & Technology developed 1/5 scale size of small scale derailment simulator and is currently testing running stability of 1/5 scaled bogie. Also To take effectively advantage of running stability test using small scale derailment simulator in actuality design and reliability estimation, it is necessary comparison and examination with field test and theoretical analysis result In this paper. to achieve running stability analysis of 1/5 scaled bogie on small scale derailment. the program using MATLAB that is fast compose and analysis the motion equation of Saemaul power bogie is developed. It is achieved analysis according to various specification (weight, size, suspension, etc..) and is evaluated corelation between test result and dynamic characteristic of actual railway vehicle.

As a secondary suspension, the air spring has not good lateral stiffness characteristics. In order to make up for this weak point, lateral damper is used between bogie and carbody. The lateral vibration of carbody can be reduced by the lateral damper. When the damping force of lateral damper becomes worse, the running stability and ride comfort of the railway vehicle go down. Simultaneously the lateral motion of carbody is increased. In this study, the lateral displacement of carbody was studied by the multibody dynamic analysis in accordance with lateral damping force to find the cause of abnormal noise(impact noise) when the vehicle is running. The suitable lateral damping force was reviewed in order not to generate abnormal noise.

Like conventional railways, improving running performance of vehicle in curve is more effective than improving maximum speed to reduce traveling time. But some vehicles have problems concerning running performance in cure because of insufficient study for our conventional railway characteristics. So, these problems brought about increasement of maintenance cost. This study was started to deliberate several plans to solve problems concerning running performance in curve. Some modifications of primary suspension and tests were carried out to improve curve negotiation. Here, we describe some results.

This paper presents a brief overview of the concepts, achievements and challenges relating to the use of electronic and computer control for railway vehicles in the aspect of mechatronic design. It can provides the rail vehicles of tomorrow must be more cost effective, energy efficient, and dynamic performance. The main emphasis in this paper will be upon the use of active control for suspension and steering for new approaches of incorporation of sensors, controllers, and actuators. They can make vehicle designers to take advantages optimizing mechanics and electronics jointly which are not possible with a purely mechanical approach.
