To develop a Maglev successfully, it is necessary to develop the core technologies such as levitation and propulsion system and construct engineering system which can integrally evaluate performances of Maglev and provide technical reviews parametrically In this paper, we designed the Maglev running performance simulator which can provide decision-making Information for direction of development of Maglev and examination for running performance about the change of various design parameters such as safety and stability, noise, and ride quality. The designed system is an engineering-based system and can be developed using engineering framework by KIMM which can integrate diverse CAE systems in distributed environments and provide systematic information management. And it also provides VR-based visualization and web-based user interface except VR system which requires special hardware system.

Railway has been pointed to the efficiency of transportation, rapid transit, and comfortable train ride. the construction of railway near the downtown area and station building are increasing for maximization of utilization and convenience. but the heavy of transportation and rapid transit lead to increase noise and vibration. The noise and vibration of railway may cause the civil appeal, decline in the serviceability and insufficiency of environmental standard. In this study, floating slab vibration and repeated connection of devices to support joints and fatigue stress analysis of punching shear performance review was conducted to evaluate the safety.

High speed railway structure, contact of vehicle needs to design considering the running stability(dynamic behavior). Also, upper structure has to satisfy design standard about moving load, high speed train(KTX). So, the high speed railway structure has to satisfy the requirement of natural frequency, vertical acceleration on deck, face distortion and vertical displacement considering ride comfort, which is suggested Ho-nam high speed railway design standard. In this study, it was investigated and evaluated to the dynamic behavior for a double-rib arch railway bridge subjected to moving load considering real high speed train loads.

In railway vehicle, riding comfort depends mainly on the secondary lateral damper and track condition. When the damping force of lateral damper becomes abnormal condition or the track condition is worse, the running stability and ride comfort of the railway vehicles go down. In addition, the lateral motion of carbody is increased. Therefore, the lateral motion of carbody is reviewed carefully by considering lateral damping force and track condition of the railway line in design stage. In this study, the lateral displacement of carbody was studied in accordance with lateral damping force and track condition. The target vehicle is EMU for subway line.

THe dynamic characteristics of car are determined by ride quality and control stability. These characteristics are maintained by suspension, which is composed of springs, dampers and links. The values of these parameters are very important factor to determine the dynamic characteristic. Until now, most of company depends on trial-and-error method and driving test to solve this problem. But these methods are consumed many costs and time in developing process. In this paper,to minimize these difficulties,the proper model will be developed and analyzed the sensitivity of suspension parameter in time domain. On this ground, find the design parameter that have a dominant infuence on system response and estimate the change of system response values.

Active suspension systems have been using for improving ride quality and stability for vehicles. An active suspension system is composed of a hydraulic pump, pressure control valves, hydraulic dampers, vehicle body, tires and other components. In this study, the mathematical model for the active suspension system based on the quarter car concept is derived, and a program for analysing the dynamic behaviour of the suspension system is developed. The computed results by the developed program are compared with the experimental results for confirming the reliability and usefulness of the developed program.

Vibration of railway vehicle has harmful effect to dynamic performances of railway represented to stability, safety and ride comfort. Hence reduction of vibration has been discussed as an important problem and has been widely investigated. A new technology of vibration control, energy regenerative control, is introduced. Energy regenerative damper using this new vibration control converts vibration energy into other kind of energy that we can utilize. In this paper, this energy regenerative damper is applied to the dynamic absorber and vehicle suspension. And it is evaluated whether the energy regenerative railway vehicle suspension is possible.

The vibration of a running vehicle can be classified on lateral, longitudinal and vertical motions. The important factor on the stability and ride quality of a railway vehicle is the lateral motion. The contact between wheel and rail with conicity influences strongly on the lateral motion. In this study, an experiment for the vibration of a running railway vehicle was performed using a small scale railway vehicle model. Also, the effects on the car body, bogie and wheelset were examined for the weight and the stiffness of the first and second suspension. The experimental results showed that the lateral vibration increases as the wheel conicity and stiffness of the second suspension increase. And the lateral vibration of the bogie increases as the mass ratio between car body and bogie increases. Also, the lateral vibration of the wheel becomes high at low speed, while the wheel of 1/20 conicity makes severe vibration at high speed running.

Rotem has been using VAMPIRE for simulation and verification of the railway vehicle design. To improve the capability and accuracy of the analysis ability, ADAMS/Rail has been chosen as the next generation analysis tool. The dynamic performance of the railway vehicle, which is designed and manufactured by Rotem, is analyzed and simulated using ADAMS/Rail. The critical speed for linear and non-linear stability on tangent track, curving performance on various curved tractk, ride quality, derailment coefficient and the eigen values are calculated. In this paper, the results from ABAMS/Rail are compared with VAMPIRE's results.

The dynamic performances of railway vehicles, such as ride comfort, stability and safety, have the opposite characteristics of response each other according to design changes of suspensions. For this reasons, it is necessary that multidisciplinary engineers join in design processes of the suspensions so as to satisfy the requirements of dynamic performance with design constraints. Sometimes iterative dynamic analyses are required so many times during the design processes. In this paper, the development of integrated process environments and the dynamic analyses of railway vehicles based on the environments are presented. Using agent and wrapping technologies, process managements about the work process and design parameters were set up under the distributed computing environments. Also, dynamic analyses on the sample railway vehicle were carried out and the efficiency and improvement in future work were discussed as results.
