The maglev guiderail systems, which receive directly the live load of maglev train and transfer the load to the main girder, is a important constituent in guideway system. As a process of development of maglev guideway girder adopting the precast decks, static and fatigue loading tests of the connections systems of precast deck and guiderail have been accomplished. In this stude, the structural characteristics of precast deck-guiderail connection systems are being evaluated by performing a detailed finite element analyses.

Electric power trains receive electric power from overhead cables via a pantograph system. Power collector system in trains increase the cross section of tunnel and require a massive coreless filter reactor in propulsion inverter because of the power disturbance by contact loss phenomenon of a train. In this paper we proposed a wireless train which can run to next station with charging energy of ultra-capacitor module block. We designed DC-DC converter to charge and discharge ultra-capacitor modules by using Next Train running test results and confirm the feasibility of the proposed system through simulation.

The wear of the third track power collector is one of the essential check factors for safe train operation. Rapid wear of the current collector accelerates the line of the catenary. In addition, the arc generated when the catenary line is turned off causes a malfunction in the minute portion of the catenary line, thereby shortening the life of the catenary line. In this paper, to analyze the mechanical wear of the current collector during driving according to the environmental factor of the Maglev(magnetic levitation train), it was divided into dry season and wet season. the wear of metallized collector, copper alloy collector and carbon collector were measured and compared with each other. The wear rate was measured according to the position of the wire, the position of the power collector and the position per hour. Microscopic photographs of the cross section and surface of the power collector were measured. The electrical currents of the metallized collector, copper alloy collector and carbon collector were measured.

As the wireless power transfer (WPT) technology based on strongly resonance coupled method realizes large power charging without any wires through the air, there are advantages compared with the wired counterparts, such as convenient, safety and fearless transmission of power. From this reason, the WPT systems have started to be applied to the wireless charging for various power applications such as train, underwater ship, electric vehicle. This study aims for the effect and characteristics of different inserted resonance coil between Tx and Rx coils for charging system of superconducting magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) train. The transfer efficiency and effect are evaluated with helix type, rectangular type copper resonance coil, and HTS resonance coil under bulb and HTS magnet load, respectively. The input power is adapted with radio frequency (RF) power of 370 kHz below 500 W.

Noise of the VVVF inverter and DC/DC converter, which are the most dominant noise sources of maglev train at low speed, is studied, The coils inside inverter and converter are excited by electro-magnetic forces, which results in core vibration and generations of the noise. It is found that the spectra of the noise show many harmonics, where there exist several different fundamental frequencies. Some noise reducing techniques are known for the transformer noise such as changing stiffness and using different core materials, which make less electrostatic responses, and consequently less noise. In this study, it is shown that the most effective and feasible noise reducing method is to increase the switching frequencies of the inverter and converter, where peaks in higher frequency are significantly reduced.

System requirements (SRs), which describe the technical attributes to be satisfied by a desired system, serve as a fundamental guideline for system development. Standard methods and processes to define SRs are suggested in systems engineering literature. But in practice, we encounter many difficulties in defining and managing SRs since there are few experiences on development of complex systems in accordance with systems engineering processes of development. In this paper, to expanding SRs management experiences in a working-level, we reviewed problems occured in SRs defining process in 'Urban MAGLEV Train Project', and analyzed our activities to adjust and solve the problems.

Recently, a railroad system has a big and complicated structure of specification. Therefore, traceability between specification need to be identified for design change management and this is many engineer's concerns. Traceability means technical relationship. This is to trace other specification or component connect with relevant problem in case some problem should be examined. Traceability between functional specification can be proved through functional analysis essentially. This study will introduce an application method of functional analysis in the case of practical use project of MAGLEV train. And we propose the guide to identify traceability between function through functional analysis.

This study is presenting the method for an effective data transmission in MAGLEV which is now tested and intends to provide for an intelligent operation of signal system in future. To exchange a lot of information, it is ideal to adopt a digital system and a micro-based system is essential for these purposes. FSK modulation and HDLC protocol are adopted on this study and information line assembly which is used as the information exchange, as the speech communication, and as the detection of speed and position is constructed in one unit. Actually this study is produced academic achievements of the data transmission system of MAGLEV train and an advanced method of intelligent operation in future railway system.
