In this study, the insertion losses of various track-side railway noise barriers are analyzed by using a two-dimensional numerical boundary element method(BEM). The BEM is implemented using two out-of-phase monopole sources for each track to represent dipole source. All model for this study is based on actual size built in Test Line of KTX. And the results suggest that vertical absorptive barrier provide as effective screening as rigid barrier which is more 0.4 m than the height of those.

General stereo vision system shows things in 3D, using two visions of left and right side. When the viewpoints of left/right sides are not in accord with each other, it gives fatigue to human eyes and prevents them from having the 3-D feeling. Also, it would be difficult to track mobile objects that are not in the middle of a screen. Therefore, the object tracking function of stereo vision system is to control tracking objects to always be in the middle of a screen while controlling convergence angles of mobile objects in the input image of the left/right cameras. In this paper, object-tracker in stereo vision system is presented which would track mobile objects by using block matching algorithm of preprocessing and JTC.

The construction of concrete slab track system is increased because the system has advantages which are maintenance free and so on, the other side, the system has weak points such as increase of the cost of the early stage construction. Recently, railway environment is issued including noise. Therefore, measures which are to mitigate noise on slab tracks were introduced, however, it is found that efficiency of noise reduction is low because noise problem is still issued. In this study, to grasp noise characteristics on slab tracks we measured noise on high speed rail slab track in addition Saemaul and Moogungwha and the results have done comparative analysis.

In order to determine the optimal number of monitoring points in single-track tunnel lining, this thesis compares and evaluates the results of two cases: when the tunnel lining is modeled into a simple beam form and then is applied to 1) the tunnel lining inverse analysis program, and to 2) the commercially-used program. The displacement and stress of specific tunnel lining cross-sections are determined by entering the load conditions into the commercially-used program for tunnel interpretations. In doing so, two cases were assumed: where a symmetrically-distributed load was acting upon the tunnel lining of a single-track tunnel and where an asymmetrically-distributed load was in action. By comparing the computed displacement with the stress and displacement determined by entering side numbers 3, 5, and 7 into the tunnel lining inverse analysis program, the optimal number of monitoring points is determined. From the results of the research, it can be inferred that the number of monitoring points needs to be at least 5 points, considering the efficiency of monitoring in practice and the loss-and-damage rate of tunnel monitoring.

A track circuit has used stably more than 100 years for detecting train position, but solution of track circuit sort circuit incapacity due to a rust is necessary for side line in station yard, coast line and level crossing for conventional line in rural line. Domestically, Axle Counter System(ACS) has partially used for Hot Box System for high speed line and turnout for CBTC system. In contrast, most of countries has used ACS not only trunk line but also rural line and its application has increased for metro, electric car and industrial railway. In this paper, we has verified the operating status of ACS which installed with existing track circuit through log analsis to implement pilot application in mail track and turnout in station yard. And interface test with interlocking system has conducted at Obong shunting yard, as well as Cheongju station and has analyzed test result. Based on a test result, we made fail safe design, manufacturing skill and established system requirement specification for the smooth operation and maintenance.

This paper describes development of hardware simulator for the PMSG wind power system, which was designed considering wind characteristic, blade characteristic and blade inertia compensation. The simulator consists of three major parts, such as wind turbine model using induction motor, PMSG generator, converter-inverter set. and control system. The turbine simulator generates torque and speed signals for a specific wind turbine with respect to given wind speed. This torque and speed signals are scaled down to fit the input of 2kW PMSG. The PMSG-side converter operates to track the maximum power point, and the grid-side inverter controls the active and reactive power supplied to the grid. The operational feasibility was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC, and the implementation feasibility was confirmed through experimental works with a hardware set-up.

Dynamic behavior of immiscible gas bubble attached to the wall in channel flow plays very important role in many engineering applications. Special attention has been paid to micro direct methanol fuel cell(${\mu}$DMFC) where surface tension becomes dominant factor with minor gravitational effect due to its reduced size. Therefore, displacement of $CO_2$ bubble generating on a cathode side in ${\mu}$DMFC can be very difficult and efficient removal of $CO_2$ bubbles will affect the overall machine performance considerably. We have focused our efforts on studying the dynamic behavior of immiscible bubble attached to the one side of the wall on 2D rectangular channel subject to external shear flow. We used Level Contour Reconstruction Method(LCRM) which is the simplified version of front tracking method to track the bubble interface motion. Effects of Reynolds number, Weber number, advancing/receding contact angle and property ratio on bubble detachment characteristic has been numerically identified.

This paper describes development of hardware simulator for the PMSG(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator) wind power system, which was designed using real wind data. The simulator consists of a realistic wind turbine model using anemometer, vector drive, induction motor. The turbine simulator generates torque and speed signals for a specific wind turbine with respect to given wind speed. This torque and speed signals are scaled down to fit the input of 3kW PMSG. The PMSG-side converter operates to track the maximum power point and the grid-side inverter controls the active and reactive power supplied to the grid. The operational feasibility was first verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC. The feasibility of real system implementation was confirmed through experimental works with a hardware set-up.

Numerical analysis of aerodynamic characteristics was differently performed according to the running situation of the Korean Tilting Train eXpress (TTX) that would be introduced for an improvement in efficiency of the used railroad track. Fluent6.0 was used for the analysis of Non-tilting case, Tilting case and Passing-by case with the model of TTX. As a result, the aerodynamic drag had little difference between Tilting and Non-tilting case. However, pressure contour under the train of Tilting case was not symmetry because the gap between a train and the ground was different at both sides. And this disparity of pressure worked on the side force. In Passing-by case attraction and counterattraction occurred alternately and affected to the opposite train. When two trains were side by side, the maximum attraction was generated especially. Through an analysis of pressure wave in tunnel a large variation of pressure was generated by the bluff nose of TTX. The results in this study would be good data for the aerodynamic characteristic on TTX and provide important information to judgment of running safety.
