In this paper, a re-adhesion control scheme is proposed for 1C2M propulsion system of TTX. The possibility of slip between wheel and rail in railway system is increasing because of the tendency of high speed and a climatic change. This slip results in the decrease of adhesive effort between this wheel and rail, so the control strategy of traction effort which can reduce the speed promptly and make most use of the maximum adhesive force is absolutely necessary. This paper describes the modeling of the TTX system, and this system is verified by the simulation.

A recent Tilting train development operation for existing line high speed, already developed "Korean Tilting Train eXpress(bellow TTX)" and that doing demonstration of operation. And TTX are going to commercial service in 2012. They are preparing Environmental Declaration of Product(bellow EDP) for offering environmental impact of TTX to customer. EDP calculated environmental impact of target product's whole life cycle(raw material and manufacturing, distribution, use, end of life) more quantity for that improving environmental impact and then certification them, it is using for that estimate some part of existence of specific pollutants, GHGs, energy consumption and recycling ratio. In this study, 1) analyze the process of getting EDP, 2) satisfy common criteria and each criteria(plan) in the Product Category Rules(bellow PCRs) provided KEITI, 3) according to ISO 14044, implementation of LCA. 4) These results be shown Characterized Impact(bellow CI) about each life cycle stage and six impact categories(ARD, GWP, OD, AD, EU, POC).

Tilting train has been developed to increase the operational speed of the trains on conventional lines which have many curves. This train are tilted at curves to compensate for unbalanced carbody centrifugal acceleration to a greater extent than compensation produced by the track cant, so that passengers do not feel centrifugal acceleration and thus trains can run at higher speed at curves. This paper developed tilting control simulator to evaluate tilting control performance of TTX(tilting train express) with maximum operation speed 180 km/h.

The hybrid composite carbody structures were considered as the carbody system of Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX) to achieve the lightweight design. The TTX carbodies are composed of the carbody shell made of the sandwich composite structure and the undeframe made of the metal structure. The sandwich structures were used to minimize the weight of carbody, and the metal underframe was used to modify the design easily and to keep the strength of underframe by the installation of the electrical equipments. The sandwich carbody structures will be cured in an autoclave. In this paper, the manufacturing processes of the TTX carbody structures were introduced briefly.

The weight reduction of carbody structures is of great concern in developing high speed tilting train for the normal operation of tilting system. The use of composite materials for the carbody structures has many advantages due to their excellent material properties such as high specific strength and stiffness. In this paper, finite clement analysis was conducted to analysis and design the composite structure of Tilting Train eXpress(TTX). According to JIS E 7105, various load tests were performed using finite element analysis and the structural safety of the composite carbody structure was inspected to determine the thickness of the composite sandwich structure. In addition, structural analysis was conducted to suggest a design of the joint part of composite carbody and metal underframe.

Tilting trains could offer a low cost solution as they can be operated on existing track and attain higher speeds (as compared to conventional trains) thanks to a mechanism that tilts the vehicle body of the train when negotiating curves, thus giving it additional superelevation Also, the weight saving of the carbody structures of the tilting train is a significant problem to operate the tilting mechanism without failure and to minimize wear and tear on wheels and rails. Therefore, the TTX will be developed using hybrid design concept to match the challenging demands with respect to cost efficient lightweight design for carbody structures. Hybrid design helps to save production costs and to reduce the weight of carbodies.

Systems engineering test and evaluation technology development program for (Korea) Express Tilting Train(TTX) system in progress is a national large system development program that is not only a large-size and complex but also multi-disciplinary in nature. For the TTX test and evaluation technology development, verification requirements that could verify system function and performance, should be derived from system specification. Hereafter, this could be listed as items of test. System engineering process establish traceability between items of test and system requirements. These tasks could be accomplished by the schema. Using the Core, a system engineering tool, TTX program could be database and similar other system could be developed effectively and efficiency

The use of composite materials for the carbody structures of tilting train has many advantages because of manufacturing variety, specific high-strength & stiffness characteristics, and long-life durability, but the strongest advantage is the possibility of lightweight product. In the leading countries, the composite materials are used for the material for drivers' cabs, interior/exterior equipments for railway train, and it is now developing the composite materials applied for the train carbody structure. In this paper, we conducted the evaluation of structural stability for the all aluminum carbody, all composite carbody and hybrid carbody structures of the Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX) with the service speed of 180km/h.
