This paper introduces the methode to improve the indoor air quality for Korea Tilting train express(TTX). TTX operates more than 80,000km in commercial line and in the near future service is expected. To improve air quality effective heat and cooling system is proposed. Also according to the ministry of environment guide line, major factor component are selected to Co2(carbon dioxide) and Pm10(particle matter). The database of the vital factor was accumulated by the various case of operation environment. Finally, optimal air condition controling device is developed and installed.

The concern on sustainable development is increased to solve the global warming which is environmental issue over nations. Sustainable development is the concept of minimizing the consumption of resource and environment burden. In transportation, there are some trials of shifting to green transportation mode through low energy consumption and high efficiency. Korea Tilting Train eXpress (TTX) can run higher speed than existing train and save energy through light weight. In this study, Tilting bogie, the core equipment of tilting train, was compared with that of existing train.

Under light collision accidents, the energy absorption strategy for the coupler and expansion tube of the TTX(Tilting Train Express) initial design is established in the paper. Also, 1st shearing bolts are designed. When the absorbed energy of the coupler reaches its maximum, the connecting bolts between the coupler and the car body are sheared off not to transmit the impact force to the car body structure. To absorb more energy after the lst shearing bolts work, a expansion tube is designed conceptually and installed at the rear part of the coupler. Using Hyper-Mesh and LS-DYNA, pre/post processing and light collision analyses are preformed, respectively.

Crashworthy design of a train is a systematic approach to ensure the safety of passengers and crews in railway transportation for the prescribed accident scenarios. This approach needs new structural arrangements and designs to absorb higher levels of impact energy in a controlled manner and interior designs to minimize passenger injuries. In this paper, crashworthy design approach is applied to the tilting train express (TIX) design which is newly being developed. Based on a head-on collision and a level crossing collision scenarios, the crash behaviors of a TTX design candidate arc evaluated numerically using the finite element method. Finally, design alternatives which show better crashworthy performances are proposed and verified through the full-rake collision simulations.

Tilting bogie system allow the train to pass curve at higher speed without affecting passenger comfort. As the tilting trains offer the optimum means of providing faster and more comfortable rail service with minimum of environmental disturbance and capital investment, more than 14 countries have now adopted or are about to adopt tilting train technology. The Korean National Railroad is also planing to apply faster tilting train to the areas where the High speed rail service are not provided. This paper describes the basic design and dynamic analysis of Bogie for 180 km/h Korean Tilting Train(TTX), which was done as a part of the Korean National R&D project.

Korea Railroad Research Institute(KRRI) have been developing Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX) with the service speed of 180km/h as the R&D project supporting by Korea government. The core of research is the development of the tilting bogie using the domestic tilting technologies. We developed the 3D-CAD prototype of tiling bogie model. In this paper we attempted to evaluate the structural strength of bogie frame using the Finite Element Method. Finally, we . would like to propose the application of the modifying part to the detail design.

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 show that results of normal capacity calculations of the electrical equipments such as Main transformer, PWM converter, VVVF inverter, traction motor in TTX(tilting train express) with maximum operation speed 180 km/h

인구가 증가하면서 인간의 생활활동 범위가 증가되었고 이에 따라 운송시스템에 대한 수요가 크게 증대되고 있다. 그러나 물류 이동에 필요한 여러 가지 제반시설은 이를 충족시키지 못하고 있으며, 이로 인하여 현재 국내의 물류수송효율은 최악의 상황에 직면해있다. 이로써 대용량의 수송능력을 담당하는 철도차량 운송 시스템에 대한 수요가 급증하게 되었다. 따라서 이에 대비하고자 많은 신규 노선을 계획하고, 이와 함께 신설되는 노선에 대해서는 시스템 운영 효율의 극대화를 위해 노선별로 고속전철과 지하철, 경전철, 틸팅차량, 그리고 자기부상열차 시스템 등 여러 가지 방식이 검토 중에 있으며 차량에 가장 적합한 추진시스템을 설계하는 것이 차량의 성능에 크게 향상시킬 수 있다.

Induction Motor is important at tilting train. Tiling train induction motor should be operated to commercial servicespeed 180km/h at Korea Conventional Line upgrade railroad. As the induction motors are without commutators, maintenance is easy and it is far lighter than the conventional motors with the same capacity. The induction motor, however, posed problems in use as its motor torque is not large enough compared with DC motors. With the recent advances in power semiconductors, it is possible to apply the induction motors to trains by applying VVVF inverter control method to the traction motor. In this study, we realize the stable measurement AC motor temperature characteristic of TTX train.

In this paper, control schemes are proposed for a propulsion system(Converter/Inverter) of the TTX(Tilting Train express). In developed traction converter, unity power factor control, compensation method of dc link voltage have been applied. Output current of converter contains harmonics ripple at twice input ac line frequency, which causes a ripple in the dc link voltage so that control scheme is developed in inverter system to reduce the pulsating torque current. At low speed region, vector control scheme is applied and slip frequency control is adopted at high speed region. The performance of propulsion system will be verified by simulation and prototype experimental results.
