In this study, and analytical method for ride sensitivity analysis of a train with non-linear suspension elements are proposed. Non-linear characteristics of springs and dampers for primary and secondary suspensions of a train are parameterized using polynomial interpolation. Vertical dynamic model of a three-body train running on straight rail with the predetermined roughness expressed in terms of spectral density function is set up and its equations of motion for ride analysis are derived. Using the direct differentiation method, sensitivity equations of the vertical dynamic model with respect to design parameters associated with non-linearity of suspensions are obtained. Based on the sensitivity analysis, improvement of ride is achieved by varying appropriate suspension parameters.

International Roughness Index (IRI) has been widely used by state DOTs to quantify pavement smoothness. When pavement condition falls below certain IRI thresholds, corresponding pavement maintenance treatments should be considered for application. Selection of appropriate IRI thresholds is essential to tactical allocation of limited resources to improve the conditions of states' roadway systems. This selection process is often challenging, however, because IRI thresholds are largely determined by Perceived Ride Quality (PRQ), and PRQ differs in each state. In this paper, a framework is proposed to address this problem. Passenger raters will be randomly selected from predetermined geographic locations, and their PRQ ratings collected. Taking this perceived ride data, along with other data collected, a statistical analysis will be conducted to establish the relationship between measured IRI values and PRQ. Appropriate IRI thresholds will then be determined. Once this framework is implemented, state DOTs could make informative maintenance decisions, which are expected to greatly enhance the public perception of pavement conditions in today's challenging economy.

반경이 작은 곡선이 종종 존재하는 도시 내에서 운행되는 도시형자기부상열차는 전자석과 레일 사이에 기계적 접촉 없이 곡선주행을 할 수 있어야 한다. 특히, 안내제어가 없는 자기부상열차에 있어서는 승차감을 확보하면서 곡선추종성능을 향상시키기 위하여 차간 댐퍼의 설치가 고려된다. 자기부상 차량용 차간 댐퍼는 곡선 진출입시 차량에 발생하는 요(Yaw) 방향의 진동을 최소화할 수 있어야 함과 동시에, 부상 전자석이 레일과 접촉이 없도록 해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 곡선주행에서의 차간 댐퍼의 승차감과 곡선추종성에의 영향을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 부상제어, 차량, 대차 및 궤도가 포함된 동역학 모델을 이용한 동특성 시뮬레이션이 수행된다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 차간 댐퍼의 효과가 분석되고 시험 선로에서의 주행시험을 실시하여 해석 결과의 신뢰성에 대한 검증이 이루어졌다.

This paper introduces experimental results related to the vibration ride conditions that a korean male subject experienced in the railway trains and the express bus. Two types of railway train's, Samaulho and Mugunghwaho, and the express bus were chosen to measure how much the whole-body vibrations of the back, hip and feet are exposes to the subject. Measured vibration signals were analysed to assess the ride conditions quantitatively and qualitatively. Analysed results are illustrated to see how much typical public transportation systems in korea expose vibration to passengers.

Generally railway vehicle runs on the rail with endless interaction between wheel and rail. Irregularity of rail causes the periodic motion of the vehicle. In association with this motion, the design of vehicle would be carried out in order to avoid the resonance between car-body and bogie. It may be seen that the first vertical bending mode of car-body contributes considerably to the vertical ride comfort level. In this paper to know the effect of the car-body first vertical bending mode on vertical ride comfort, the mode has been considered with dynamic model. I-DEAS program was used to get the car-body first vertical bending mode and VAMPIRE program was used to analyze ride comfort index(Wz) with FE interface file.

Air springs are now widely used in bus or truck suspensions due to their advantages over conventional metal spring as coil or leaf springs. Air springs have soft spring rates, which give better ride quality, and additional leveling system provides constant ride height and maintains almost same vertical natural frequencies. A mathematical model of an air spring suspension system with height control system is constructed and dynamic responses of the suspension system are investigated in the light of leveling valve motion characteristic, vertical motion natural frequency. Also, using a full vehicle model, handling characteristics of an air spring suspension is studied and the results are compared with real test results, which shows good agreements.

In this paper, the ride comfort of a passenger coach installed with a KT23 type bogie was measured and evaluated through field test in operation routes. The ride comfort level was evaluated and analysed by ISO method and DIC method that were applied generally at railway fields. Particularly three evaluation methods, i.e., a simple method, a full standing method, and a full seating method of UIC513R standard, were fully applied to evaluate the ride quality. Also the vertical and lateral vibration levels on the floor were evaluated by peak-to-peak analysis method.

본 연구는 동력분산형 고속열차의 승차감을 개선하기 위하여 진행되었다. 동력분산형 고속열차 시제차량의 동역학 해석을 통해 300km/h이상의 임계속도를 갖는 등가 답면구배의 범위는 0.05에서 0.25사이임을 확인하였다. 초기에 적용된 차륜 프로파일 S1002는 4만km이상의 누적주행거리에도 불구하고 등가 답면구배는 0.033 정도였고, 안정적인 운행을 위해서는 등가 답면구배가 0.061이 넘는 XP55가 더 적합함을 확인하였다. 동력분산형 고속열차의 승차감을 개선하기 위한 방안으로 요댐퍼의 설치 각도를 $7.35^{\circ}$에서 $0^{\circ}$로 변경하고, 민감도 분석과 최적화를 통해 도출된 공기스프링 횡 및 상하방향 강성 30% 감소, 2차 수직댐퍼 및 횡댐퍼 댐핑계수를 50% 증가시키는 방안을 제안하였다. 이를 적용하면 차체 가속도를 평균 20%정도 개선시킬 수 있을 것으로 예상되었다. 도출된 승차감 개선 방법의 일부인 요댐퍼 설치각도를 $0^{\circ}$로 변경하고 횡댐퍼의 댐핑계수를 30% 증가시킨 후 경부고속선에서 300km/h 속도로 시운전을 진행하였을 때, 차체 횡가속도는 평균 34.3% 개선되었고, 본 연구에서 제안된 추가적인 개선 방안은 향후 시운전 시험 시에 적용될 예정이다. 본 연구에서 사용된 승차감 개선 프로세스는 향후 동력분산형 고속열차의 상업 운행 시에 발생할 수 있는 승차감 관련 문제 해결에 사용될 수 있다.

차량의 시트 재질로 사용되는 폴리우레탄 폼의 모델링 및 동특성 예측은 승객의 승차감 향상을 위해 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 폴리우레탄 폼의 정특성 시험을 통해 비선형 강성과 점탄성 특성의 시간변수 파라미터를 구하였다. 다항식과 컨벌루션 적분법을 이용하여 폴리우레탄 폼의 비선형 특성과 점탄성 특성을 수학적으로 모델링하였다. 이와 같은 비선형 진동 모델에 대하여 수치적분 방법을 이용하여 시트 바닥 변위에 대한 진동 응답을 계산하였다. 폴리우레탄 폼의 비선형 특성과 점탄성 특성이 진동계에서 미치는 영향을 단순 1자유도계와 인체모델을 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과적으로 폴리우레탄 폼의 점탄성 특성이 승차감을 위한 설계파라미터로 고려되어야 하는 것으로 나타났다.

Passive suspensions with fixed design constants are very restrictive in the inherent suspension problem, the trade-off between the ride quality and the suspension travel. Active suspensions are used to solve some drawbacks of passive suspensions. In this paper, we propose a controller design for vehicle active suspensions considering variable driving conditions. Our controller estimates the current driving conditions by detecting the road frequencies gotten from Fourier Transform and decides which factor must be emphasized between the ride quality and the suspension travel. In one case of focusing on the ride quality, we use the skyhook control law and in the other case of focusing on the suspension travel, the double skyhook control law is used. The control law modified by various road situations outputs the reference force value the electro-hydraulic actuator in active suspension system must generate. To track the reference force, we adopt the sliding control law which is very useful in controlling the nonlinear system like the electro-hydraulic actuator.
