Maglev vehicles levitated and propelled by electromagnet as non-contact between vehicle and guide rail is environmentally friendly transport system which have many advantages like ride comfort and guide way construction costs. As a goal of commercial operation at Incheon International Airport in 2012, development of vehicle is underway and proto-vehicle is test running at KIMM. The maglev bogie system of proto-vehicle, like railway vehicle, has functions to support weight of vehicle, transfer force of brake and propulsion and improve ride comfort through insulation of vibration and improve curve negotiation capability. The main components of a bogie are two modules consisted of electromagnetic, frame and linear motor, two tie beams to connect two modules and steering system to improve curve negotiation capability. The purpose of this paper is to describe general specification, structure, manufacturing process, performance testing, ride comfort of proto-vehicle and bogie system.

Because present road traffic reaches to the limitation of its faculty, Korean tilting train was developed to find the solution by increasing the speed of rail road. A tilting train can run on a curved rail at high speed so it improves a speed of a rail transit without constructing a new line. Only minimum modification is necessary for a existing line. According to above requirement, Korean tilting train was developed in 2007 and the try run has been executing since April, 2007 in order to validate its safety and reliability in a service lines. And this test and estimation will be completed in 2009. After completing a try run, main parts of tilting train will be studied again to commercialize and localize including a bogie and its commercial model design will be finalized by 2012. In order to achieve the development target as mentioned above, the study have been done to improve the bogie system. As the first step to design commercialized bogie system, measurements from the try run and a dynamic analysis were used to find problems of present bogie system well. So this project is performed to decide what parts of the bogie should be modified in basis of this result.

Environmental impact is getting more attention in many feasibility studies for railroad-related projects and research items. For sustainable growth and green transportation, the benefits typically used for feasibility studies in railway-related projects, are composed mostly of economic criterions which is not considering growing attention on changing paradigm. Based on the analysis of current methodologies, improvements in estimating environmental impact especially on noise and pollution are suggested. Active steering bogie has been proposed to satisfy stabilizing and steering performance of railroad. This paper describes the feasibility study of the active steering bogie for a urban railway vehicle based on environment-related criteria.

Kyung-p-1 main line is characterized by its curves radii of which are considerably small. It is essential for running time reduction of train to improve capabilities of curve negotiation. This improvement can be achieved by designing a bogie with flexible suspension system. The effect of the improvement is mainly concerned in the primary yaw stiffness of bogie suspension. This paper gives a linear analysis for the motion of railway vehicle on curved track and gives also computer simulation results for Semaul Train. The results introduce a conclusion that the primary yaw stiffness of Semaul train is too rigid to be self-steering on Kyung-pu main line curves.

In this paper, we describe the analysis of interior noise for tilting train that is being developed in Korea. Tilting train is made of composite material to reduce the car body's weight and attached a self-steering system on bogie to improve curving performance. However, the acoustic performance (Transmission Loss) of such material is worse than the materials of conventional train, such as aluminum, steel and so on. Therefore, we measure the transmission loss of side wall / floor of tiling train and predict the interior noise for tilting train using its measuring results

The critical speed above which the vehicle become unstable is one of the items that should be verified in the development of a new train. In the case of a high speed tilting train, which requires both higher critical speed and higher curving speed, the critical speed should be more carefully treated because the both requirements are in conflict with each other in the conventional train design. The main purpose of the present work is to estimate the linear and non-linear critical speeds of 200km/h Korean Tilting Train 'Hanbit200' under development. The newly developed self-steering mechanism was attached to the tilting train to ensure that the critical speed falls under the lower yaw stiffness which is needed to secure higher curving performance. The simulation for predicting the critical speed was done by a commercially available vehicle dynamics software. A full scale roller rig test was carried out to validate the numerical results and to verify the effectiveness of the self-steering mechanism.

Tilting train allow the train to pass curve at higher speed without affecting passenger comfort. As the tilting trains run curve track about 30$\%$ higher than non-tilting trains, the centrifugal force and dynamic force will be higher. Therefore it is very important for tilting train to ensure safety against derailment, and to reduce the lateral track forces by applying light-weight design, optimized suspension design and steering mechanism. The 180 km/h Korean Tilting Train(TTX) which is now developing as a part of the Korean National R & D project, was designed and analytically verified to meet these special requirements. This paper describes the analytic study to verify the safety against derailment, especially on the wheel unloading in case of tilting actuation. The severest curve geometry and curving speed was assumed, the tilting control pattern was also assumed as trapezoidal force function applied to tilting bolster and bogie frame. For the comparison, the operation with the speed of tilting train without tilting actuation was numerically simulated and the operation with the balanced speed without tilting actuation was also numerically simulated. Through the numerical simulation of various operating case, we found that derailment quotients, wheel unloading and Q/P was not affected by tilting actuation and that the bogie of TTX was nicely designed to satisfy the safety against the derailment.

The AUTS(Advanced Urban Transit System) are developed by government R&D business. This units are under main line performance test in Daebul test line. Both AC and DC could apply to the AUTS for pantagraph voltage. So main transformer and some high voltage filters are added to the under-frame. As a result the total weight of each car(Mc1-Tp1-M-T-Tp2-Mc2) is different. And axle load is different each other. The main characteristics of AUTS(Advanced Urban Transit System) are as follows. One inverter control one motor, DDM(Dircet Drive Motor), no driving gear, plug no end door, self-steering bogie etc. These matters could be appeared to strange vibration. So vibration test is important. The vibration test performed to Mc1 and Tp1. The results were checked to the up-down direction and left-right direction for acceleration.
