The series hybrid propulsion system in bimodal tram consists of CNG engine, generator, inverter, motor and battery as main components. Among them, battery is very important thing to make a hybrid bimodal tram more efficient in driving. Battery pack is composed of 168 LPB(lithium polymer battery) cells, 650Vdc-300A. LPB should be treated with a good consideration in both temperature and overvoltage. This paper had analyzed and investigated the thermal flow and distribution of LPB module(l4 LPB cells) and Pack in simulated environments by commercial thermal analysis tool.

Recently, problems related to the natural dyeing have been addressed. Severer problems have been posed by the elution at metallic ions and dyestuff tram dyed fabrics. In order to prevent the elution tram the dyed fabrics, it is needed to improve the fastness. Especially, it is the most important measure to improve the fastness to perspiration in terms at human body safety. In this study, we employed chitosan pretreatment method bet ore the dyeing process, anticipating that the pretreatment might improve the fastness. We used Al, Sn, and Cu as mordants and investigated the fastness to light and perspiration of the chitosan treated and dyed fabric specimens. By the chitosan pretreatment, the fastness to perspiration improved, while the fastness to light did not.

This paper presents a software toolbox with $Matlab^{(R)}$ developed for the various performance analysis of an automatic guidance system of the Bimodal Tram. The Bimodal Tram is a new kind of transportation vehicle which could be an all-wheel steered multiple-articulated vehicle. This vehicle has to be equipped with an automatic guidance, traction/braking, and docking system, In the stage of developing such a system, its validities and performances should be verified under various operation conditions. For the purpose of doing these things through simulation, this toolbox has been developed and demonstrated well by applying it to the KRRI model.

Light rail vehicle is optimized vehicle system for complex urban circumstance. LRT systems have many merits such as improve accuracy, speediness and safety. There are many LRT systems such as monorail, tram, automated guideway transit, linear induction motor propulsion and so on. These systems have operated in Japan and other advanced countries. In Korea, local government has many projects to apply the advanced LRT system. But there are no standardized specification, performance test specification, construction specification for monorail system, linear induction motor propulsion system, tram in Korea up to now. So, we need to establish of standardized to economical construction and safety. The linear induction motor system has been usually applied in Japan subway and ART(Advanced Rapid Transit) of Canada. In Korea, the linear induction motor system has been adopted for Yongin LRT and currently under construction. This paper covers the contents and technical base for main items of rolling stock, performance standard, carbody structure, bogie, electronic unit and brake equipment in order to implement linear induction motor LRT system according to local conditions.

National projects on renewable energy and new energy are driven more actively than ever in many countries for the exhaustion of fossil fuel energy from the turn of the century. Such activities began to spread out in railway industry with centering around west European countries. Electric energy is generated on the hybrid vehicle itself, which contributes to reduction of the cost for construction of the infrastructure required for the supply of electric power. Hybrid tram is mainly composed of propulsion system to control electric energy, automatic guidance system to control steering and operation, and central vehicle unit to control and monitor major electronic devices. Generation and supply of electric power are made by the combination of engine generator and battery, or fuel cell and super capacitor.

In this paper, we propose a simulator for testing of the Navigation Control System(NCS) in Bimodal-tram. NCS uses values of all sorts of sensors installed in vehicle to decide current position, and to control speed and steering of vehicle to go to a next position. Major functions of simulator are input processing of the driver and generation of virtual sensor data and driving profile(navigation path, magnetic information), and the NCS function. Virtual sensor data is generated according to output data from the NCS, driving profile and input processing of the driver, and monitoring systems is operated separatedly to confirm of NCS operation. This paper discusses about the implementation of the simulator, and analyzes and evaluates the simulation results.

To analyze the effect of temperature on pavement types of dedicated lane, we have performed a temperature monitoring for pavements which were constructed in test track for Bimodal Tram. These pavements classified into four types; natural and artificial lawn, concrete and asphalt. Dedicated lane composed of natural and artificial lawn has a complex structure with concrete slab in contact surface of tires, and with 1m natural or artificial lawn in the middle part of lane. From monitoring results for pavements, dedicated lane with natural lawn shows lower temperature value compared with other dedicated lanes, and it is expected to decrease the heat island effect of conventional road if constructed.

Recently, embedded systems role as control systems instead of mechanical control systems in many parts of vehicles. In cases that embedded systems are used controling the electric signal, it is important to secure the reliability of a software within embedded systems. In this paper, the test platform for securing the reliability and real-time characteristic of the embedded system that controls electric signal of All Wheel Steering Control System in a Bi-modal tram is proposed. The platform is built on a HIL (Hardware In the Loop) architecture. Through the HIL platform, various vehicle conditions, driver activities and environment conditions can be successfully tested without actual driving, hence improving the reliability of the embedded system for the All Wheel Steering Control System.

미니트램(Mini-Tram)은 승하차 시간 동안 정거장에서의 무선급전 방식에 의한 급속충전(약, 2분 30초 이내)을 통해 에너지를 공급받으며, 운행 시 차상에 설치된 에너지저장 매체(LIC: Lithium-Ion Capacitor)로부터 전기에너지를 공급받아서 운행된다. 차량에 요구되는 에너지 소모량을 분석하고 이에 맞춰서 저장 매체의 직-병렬 구성 및 전력 변환 장치(Regulator 및 DC-DC 컨버터 등)를 설계하는 것은 전기 구동 차량인 미니트램의 설계에서 매우 중요한 부분이다. 본 논문에서는 미니트램 시스템을 개발하는 과정에서 수행된 에너지공급시스템의 사양 선정을 위한 에너지 소모량 예측과 더불어 이와 관련된 주행저항 및 주행성능 분석에 대해서 다룬다.

미니트램(Mini-Tram)의 에너지 공급시스템은 유도급전(IPT: Inductive Power Transfer) 기반의 무선급속충전(Wireless High Speed Charging) 및 슈퍼커패시터(Supercapacitor) 기술을 융합하여 구성되었다. 기존의 전기이중층 커패시터(EDLC) 및 하이브리드 커패시터(LIC)는 급속충전을 위한 출력성능은 충족하지만, 낮은 에너지밀도 때문에 미니트램의 활용성을 제한하고 있다. 이에 수송시스템 분야에서의 커패시터의 경쟁력을 향상하기 위해서는 최소한의 공간 및 무게 조건을 충족함과 동시에 에너지 밀도를 극대화할 수 있는 하이브리드 커패시터의 개발이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 개발 중인 미니트램의 에너지 요구량을 산정하여 매체의 개발목표 사양을 도출하고 이를 실현하기 위한 방안에 대해서 논하고자 한다.
