Since PSD(Platform Screen Door) is set up at many subway stations, its design related to a safety becomes gradually important. Especially the intereference check with a running railway vehicle is the most important of performance indices. This study proposes a dynamic analysis models for the railway vehicle and rail. Some design parameters are considered in the models to find a correlation to the performance.

Recently metropolitan local governments is actively introducing urban railway's expand and light rail transit as a means of new transport system. DC electricity feeder system operating in the domestic urban railway is typically a feedback circuit consisted of the contact wire and electric railway vehicle via rail. But stray current is to be defined as a current flowing on a structure that is not part of the intended electrical circuit with respect to a given structure. Stray current is generally results from the leakage of return currents from large DC traction systems that are grounded or have a bad earth-insulated return path. At the place where the current leaves the rail and metallic structures, electrolytic corrosion may take place. This paper presents comparison analysis of field test methods based on criteria of electrolytic corrosion protection of buried metallic structures adjacent to DC traction systems.

Urban DC railways have played an important role in urban transportation, and railway operation and energy management have been emphasized to be important to achieve maximum efficiency from existing infrastructure. Fast, accurate DC railway power flow analysis is required to operate a DC railway efficiently, and this paper proposes a novel methodology to analyze the DC railway power network by implementing the participation factor (PF). The PF concept consists of a correlation between the vehicle and the substation, as explained using zones based on the position of the vehicles running on the route. Then, the DC railway powerflow is calculated using the PF concept. Finally, the usability of the proposed method was validated via case studies with actual railway operation data, and we discuss some of the advantages of the suggested methodology.

The EMS/LIM driven system, called UTM-01 has been under development for LRT type urban transit applications. At the present time, the 1st vehicle of UTM-01 (a two vehicle system) is undergoing various tests on the 1.1km test track at the KIMM premises in Taejon. This paper describes the design, characteristics and test results of the Levitation /Guidance, the Propulsion/Braking System and the Leakage Flux for 1st vehicle of UTM-01.

현재 각 도시철도 운영기관이 사용하고 있는 부품코드체계는 구 정부물품 분류체계 11자리를 수요한 코드체계로의 군, 급의 2단계 분류로 구성되어 있어, 분류단계의 제약이 존재할 뿐만 아니라 분류체계의 구조적 문제로 군, 급, 품명의 빈번한 통합, 삭제에 따른 코드 관리의 어려움이 존재하고 있다. 또한, 사용자가 원하는 물품을 해당 분류체계로 찾아가기 위한 그룹별 탐색과 통계적 분석이 불가능한 실정이다. 이러한 분류체계의 문제점과 향후 차종의 노후화로 발생될 관리품목의 증가로 업무능률 저하가 예상되기 때문에 새로운 체계의 표준화된 부품코드체계가 절실히 필요한 실정이다. 본 논문은 산업 발전에 따르는 확장성과 세분화에 대한 분류구조의 탄력성을 가지고 객관적으로 분류 추가 및 변경이 가능하도록 하고, 정부 및 국제기관 표준권고안과 호환성을 가질 수 있는 표준 부품코드체계를 제정하기 위한 연구결과이다.

A geometric contact conditions of wheel/rail affect the dynamic behavior of rolling stock. Mechanical force acted on the wheel/rail causes excessive wear and increase the maintenance cost. In this study, we have studied the dynamic behavior of the urban railway vehicle with new and worn wheel by VAMPIRE program. And we have tested the accelerations of wheelset on the conventional line. The results of simulation are compared with the measuring data of field test. It shows that the acceleration of worn wheel is greater than the acceleration of new wheel in the straight track line but on the contrary, the acceleration of new wheel is greater than the acceleration of worn wheel in curved track. That results explain that the new wheel is worn out greater than the worn wheel in curved track line and need to be maintained more seriously when running in curved track line.

Decision of operation performance mode to minimize the energy consumption of urban rail vehicle. This paper analyses how much acceleration and deceleration of urban rail vehicle should be applied andhow to choose an operation mode to minimize energy consumption when train runs between station within the fixed operation time. The decided operation pattern satisfying the minimum energy consumption becomes a target trajectory and a basis for the controller design criteria. To make this goal it grasps the characteristics of urban rail vehicle, realize operation energy model of urban rail vehicle and verify the accuracy of embodied model the Matlab simulation with the same operation result of real route. It searches for operation pattern to minimize operation energy by changing the acceleration and deceleration on the imaginative route and proposes operation pattern minimizing energy consumption by applying real operation data between Dolgogee-Sukgye section of Seoul Metropolitan Subway Line 6.

The urban railway has been planned not only the subway, but also the elevated railway in Seoul, South Korea. Therefore, it is steadily increasing civil complaints for railway noise passing through that residential district. In this paper, we focused on noise of squeal characteristics induced by interaction between railway vehicle's wheel and rail. Then we selected the point that carried out scattering water droplet to the rail and compared the noise level of the watering test results before and after. Scattering water test results showed that level of the noise reduced intermittently occurring high frequency characteristics of squeal noise as well as overall noise level. In the future, we will apply the sensor to the sprinkling system for noise reduction where the place of existing squeal noise is, and make a suggestion of this solution will be more economical, environmental-friendly, and appropriate to reduce the squeal noise occurred by railway vehicle than others.

DC electricity feeder system operating in the urban railway is typically a feedback circuit consisted of the contact wire and electric railway vehicle via rail. But stray current is flowed on a structure that is not part of the intended electrical circuit with respect to a given structure. This paper presents comparison analysis of field test cases based on criteria of electrolytic corrosion protection of buried metallic structures adjacent to DC traction systems. As a result of it, we confirmed that measurement methods are different from each other about the same tests. Therefore measurement methods to prevent electrolytic corrosion need to establish electrical facilities standards to be applied domestic.

The reliability of a solid-state transformer (SST) is one of the important aspects to consider when replacing a conventional low-frequency passive transformer with SST for urban railway vehicles. Lifetime evaluation of SST in the design phase is therefore essential in guaranteeing a certain SST reliability. In this study, a lifetime evaluation of power semiconductor devices in SST is performed with respect to temperature stress. For a case study, a 3 MW SST with three kinds of power modules (one IGBT module and two SiC-MOSFET modules) is used for the lifetime estimation under the operation profile of urban railway vehicles.
