In order to develop the deep-underground GTX (Great Train eXpress) in domestic, the running performance analysis of the propulsion system by a variety of route condition must be carried out before studying the specification and the development of the high-speed propulsion system with inverter and traction motor. Then it is necessary to study the running resistance properties of the high-speed traction system for the variety of tunnel type and vehicle organization method at first. In addition, the properties of the power requirement of the traction motors needed to maintain the balanced speed of the high-speed traction system are next studied. We need to study properties of the emergency braking distance caused by the highest operation speed of the high-speed traction system and present the fundamental design technologies to develop the high-speed traction system for the deep-underground GTX. Finally, the paper analyzes the applicability of the conventional Korean Tilting Train eXpress (TTX) propulsion system on the high-speed propulsion system for the deep-underground GTX.

The measurement of contact wire uplift in electric railways is one of the most important test parameters to accepting the maximum permitted speed of new electric vehicles and pantographs. The contact wire uplift can be measured over short periods when the pantograph passes monitoring stations. In this paper, a high-speed image measurement system and its image processing method are being developed to evaluate dynamic uplift of overhead contact wires caused by pantograph contact forces of Korea Tilting Train eXpress (TTX) and Korea Train eXpress (KTX). The image measurement system was implemented utilizing a high-speed CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) camera and gigabit ethernet LAN. Unlike previous systems, the uplift measurement system using high speed camera is installed on the side of the rail, making maintenance convenient. On-field verification of the uplift measurement system for overhead contact wire using high speed camera was conducted by measuring uplift of the TTX followed by operation speeds at the Honam conventional line and high-speed railway line. The proposed high-speed image measurement system to evaluate dynamic uplift of overhead contact wires shows promising on-field applications for high speed trains such as KTX and TTX.

경부고속철도의 개통과 함께 서울-부산 간 운행시간이 새마을호 기준 4시간 30분에서 2시간으로 단축되는 등 획기적인 시간 절감을 이루었으나 이는 고속철도가 운행되는 지역에 국한된 것이다. 이에 고속철도 비 수혜지역의 운행시간 단축을 위해 기존선 속도향상이 요구되며, 이러한 목적으로 한국철도기술연구원에서는 틸팅열차를 개발하여 시운전 10만Km를 목표로 시험운행중이다. 또한 한국철도공사에서는 이와 유사한 목적으로 기존선 신호시스템인 ATS 시스템을 차상신호시스템(ATP)으로 개량하는 사업이 추진되고 있다. 현재 틸팅열차에는 기존의 ATS(자동열차정지장치) 차상장치만을 장착하여 차량의 성능 확인을 위한 시험 및 시운전을 우선적으로 추진하고 있는 상태이며 이러한 ATS 차상장치는 160km/h 이하의 속도에서만 본연의 기능이 유지되고, 그 이상의 속도에서는 현실적으로 사용이 어렵기 때문에 틸팅열차의 목표속도인 200km/h에서 적합하게 시험하기 위해서는 적합하지 않다. 따라서 한국철도공사에서 추진하고 있는 ATP 구축사업의 지상설비와 연계될 수 있는 ATP 차상장치를 설치하여 시험을 하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위한 틸팅열차와 ATP 차상장치와의 인터페이스에 대해 연구하였다.

최근들어 열차의 고속화, 고성능화 추세에 맞는 철도의 안전성 확보가 더욱 필요해졌다. 이를 달성하기 위해서는 각 장치들에 대한 종합적인 시험평가가 이루어져야 한다. 특히 완성차 및 본선시운전 시험을 통해 차량에 대한 여러 상태를 확인해야 한다. 안전과 신뢰성이 중요한 철도시스템의 시험평가 분야는 사양에 따라 제작된 단위제품 및 시스템의 기본성능을 확인하고, 신뢰성과 안전성을 확인하여 상용화하는 측면에서 최종 확인하는 중요한 작업이다. 이러한 필요성에 의해, 본 연구진은 틸팅차량을 종합적으로 성능평가하기 위한 종합계측시스템 구축에 관한 연구를 수행하였다.

기존 열자 승차감은, 주행중인 철도차량에서 승객이 느끼는 진동에 대하여 쾌적함의 정도라고 정의할 수 있으며, 기존 열차 승차감 기준으로는 ISO규격, Wz 평가법, UIC규격, KS규격 등이 있다. 기존의 열차 승차감 기준은 진동, 속도, 노이즈 등 기계적 요소만을 고려하므로, 승객이 느끼는 쾌적함을 평가하기에 한계가 있으며, 특히 곡선부 승차감을 평가하지 못하는 문제점이 잇으므로, 틸팅열차의 승차감을 평가하는데 어려움이 있다. 생체 신호를 기반으로 한 열차 승차감은, 기계적 요소들이 승객에게 미치는 영향이 심박, 혈압, 체온 등의 변화로 나타나므로, 이러한 생체 파라미터를 이용하여 열차 승차감을 평가하는 것이다. 특히 틸팅열차의 곡선부운행에 따른 틸팅 정도에 따라 발생하는 승차감의 변화를 측정하는데 적합하다.

전기철도차량에서 사용하는 전력변환장치에 의해서 부하전류에 다양한 고조파가 포함되고 이러한 고조파는 전력품질에 영향을 미치게 된다. 틸팅열차는 현재 6량 1편성의 시제차량이 개발되어 호남선에서 시험을 실시하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 틸팅열차가 운행되는 동안 차량의 전력시스템을 평가하기 위해서 차량의 전압, 부하전류, 전력, 고조파를 측정한 결과에 대해서 서술하였다.

In order to improve the speed of railway, several parameters and/or technical issues, which are affecting speed improvement negatively, need to be considered in addition to the enhancement of physical performance of the railway system such as maximum speed, speed at curve, and speed at turnout track. The parameters under complicated situation of railway system are from the areas of rolling stocks, track, power system, signalling, etc. In general, two different aspects of technical issues can be evaluated; Technical issues in the hardware aspect and technical issues in the software aspect. The hardware parameters include running performance, braking performance, and power performance, while the software factors are rules, regulations, and riding quality. In this investigation, a comparison study between hardware and software aspects in technical issues was conducted to provide technical information on the amendment of railway speed-up regulations.

The paper aims at presenting a systematic approach process and a method of requirement validation and system verification. Validation is applied during concept development to ensure conceptual validity, requirements validity, and design validity. Verification work is applied subsequent to the design work on test articles and early production items to produce evidence that the design solutions do, in fact, satisfy th requirements. In this paper, we present a requirements validation model and a system verification model. This models are applied to the development of TTX(Tilting Train Express)system with systems engineering tool, CORE.

Regarding some of the components of the Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX), the lightweight-vehicle development was mainly focused to this study, and so as using the materials, the existing material, steel or aluminum carbody was changed to the composite carbody with both design and manufacturing methods. Therefore the evaluation of the performance of joint strength between composite and metallic boundary area, especially the under frame and the carbody was required, and the compressive and the bending tests were conducted as the sub-scale specimen. In this evaluation, there was involved the sufficient strengths at the joint area between the underframe and the carbody, and is resulted as the increment of the safety factor through the observation of failure conditions.

In development of a composite carbody tilting train, the structural safety is especially emphasized on the joint part between composite carbody and metal underfame because it is directly related to the safety of passengers. In this paper, detailed structural analysis including bending and compression was performed for the proposed designs of the joint part, so stress distribution and maximum deflection were obtained and compared to each other. Based on the results of initial designs, modified ones were suggested and the same analysis procedure as before was followed, through which we could confirm the excellence of new design.
