Manufacturing TGV-Korea, international standards and TGV-standards should be strictly applied in order to insure the normal operation and the safety of passengers in a train service. This paper presents a development of 800W DC-DC converter for the reading lamp of TGV-korea. The converter is designed for satisfying the regulations of international standards and TGV-standards regarding the burning-in test, the vibration test, the electro-magnetic emissions test, etc. As an experimental result, the maximum efficiency is obtained as 92.3[%] at normal input voltage and output power.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the evolution of mobility after the commercial opening of french TGV through an examination on the precedent studies. The result of this study is as follows: Firstly, the TGV is competitive against the airplanes and automobiles within the 2 or 3 hours' service area, especially in the business trip markets. But in the recreational trips over this service area, 3 or 4 hours, the TGV remains as an important mode of transportation. Secondly, in a range within approximately 200 km, 1 hour by TGV, the french high speed train is not competitive against the automobiles by the lack of flexibility and commodity which are normally providing by the automobiles. This study shows the importance of permanent monitoring system on the KTX travellers' behavior to strengthen the market share of KTX.

Described in this paper is the result of a study on collision analysis of TGV-K using 1-dimensional model for crashworthy design. Crashworthy design of the front end is very important because majority of the impact energy (more than 70%) is absorbed by the crush of the front end when the train is collided with an obstacle like a tank lorry. Guideline for the crashworthy design can be described from the collision analysis of the whole train using a 1-dimensional model. Since the headstock of TGV-K is not designed in a crashworthy point of view, a conceptual design of the headstock to improve crashworthiness is suggested and evaluated using 1-dimensional collision analysis. The suggested design, which adopts an energy absorber and a crashworthy headstock, shows a good behaviour on the accident scenario of SNCF (collision at 110 km/h against a movable rigid mass of 15 ton).

The purpose of this paper describes the changes of TGV & ICE series' nose shape by increasing train speed and according to the periodical characteristics. As the speed increases, the length of the nose shape trends to lengthen longer. But the nose shape length does not increase as speed improves by optimized nose shape to reduce aerodynamic drag and micro-pressure wave in tunnels. TGV & ICE series' nose shape can be classified into Advanced paraboloid type, Shape-nosed type, Organic double-edged type and Flat-nosed type by the advance research(the changes of Shinkansen vehicle' nose shape) of high speed railway. Because it trends to be diversified and characterized more and more. This paper analyzed and introduced as TGV & ICE series' nose shape by top 2 nation (Germany, France) and high speed railway in the past years(1980-2007) for their railway design trends by new positioning(Advance research).

경간사이에 creep-coupler가 설치된 경부 고속철도 교량에 TGV-K 열차의 제동에 의한 교량의 종방향 동적거동을 해석하였다. 교량은 40m 길이의 2경간 연속교이며, 종방향 충격 하중을 인접 경간 혹은 교대로 전달하기 위한 목적으로 인접하고 있는 두 교량 사이의 creep-coupler가 설치되었다. 철도교의 경우에는 레일에 대한 종방향 축력검토가 매우 중요하므로, 이를 지지하고 있는 교량의 하부구조(교각과 기초)의영 향을 고려한 교량의 동적거동해석이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 TGV-K의 실제 제동하중에 의한 KHSR(Korea high speed railway)에 건설중인 실제교량의 동해석을 하부구조와 동특성치를 고려하여 수행하였다. TGV-K는 객차사이에 대차가 위치하므로 전체 열차의 모델링이 한꺼번에 이루어 져야한다. 동핵석을 위해서 열차의 3차원 수치모델링이 이루어졌다. TGV-K의 제동은 동력차의 전기적인 제동에 의한 회생제동력(regenerative braking force)과 객착의 기계적인 판제동(disk braking)으로 이루어진다. 이러한 제동작용의 고려에 실제 TGV-K의 제동함수가 사용되었다.

This study analyzes the influence of the construction of a high-speed railroad on territorial organization in France. After development of a new transportation network, the French territorial organization has been largely modified. Many economic urban areas are modified by their position in the territorial hierarchy according to their condition of connection with the TGV network. At first, spatial convergence is the most important effect of the TGV network construction. Second, the development of a transportation network concentrated in the Paris area has influence as an intensified factor on metropolitan areas and as a weakening factor on middle- and small-sized cities. Thus, this system has risk in increasing territorial imbalance in France. Third, to implant an economic activity zone around new TGV stations, a new town or a new economic center starts to develop. This is going to grow into a second core outside of the old city center so that regional spatial organization is transformed from a mono-polarized(mono-centric) organization to a multi-polarized(polycentric) one. Lastly, the integration of the EU railroad system enhances the concentration of economic activity in European metropolitan areas as each metropolitan area tries to develop more competitive space for its rising position in the global urban hierarchical system.

For a good crashworthy design of train vehicles, it is essential to develop some design and analysis techniques for energy absorbing structures. This paper analyzes the front structure of TGV-K and suggests crashworthy design of Korea high speed tram(KHST) using the accident scenario of SNCF(collision with a stationary rigid mass in motion of 15 ton at 110km/h). Specifically this research is concentrated on developing a well-designed protective headstocks using mullticell structures wi th cutouts to improve crashworthiness of KHST

Dynamic stability of a high speed train is very important. This paper presents a dynamic stability analysis of K-TGV using Vampire Program. The analysis of stability on this paper is performed in condition of track irregularity, curved track and strong gust. The critical speed of K-TGV is 140m1s, and it is stable when runs on 7000R(cant 150mm) curved track and on linear track with the body exerted 101kN lateral impulse force.

In this thesis the dynamic behavior of the vehicles is analyzed while the track is subjected to lateral vibration due to earthquakes. A computer program is developed which can simulate dynamic responses of vehicles subjected to earthquake loading. The analysis considers two types of two types of vehicles : I. e. a 2-axle vehicle with 13 DOF's an da power car of K-TGV with 38 DOF's It can also consider the interaction with substructures such as tracks and bridges. El Centro record is considered as earthquake loading. The creep force module developed in this study is verified and the results of this study are compared with those of others. Furthermore he running safety of high-speed railway vehicles(K-TGV) subjected to earthquake loading is studied. Based on the results of this study the running safety of the K-TGV can be confirmed against el centro earthquake.
