KTX control systems mutually control OBCS, ATC, MBU, TECA, MDT, ABU, HVAC, TRAE, PID and FDTR, KTX OBCS as master, and controls other sub-control devices as slave, using various serial lines. In order to analyze physical structure of various serial link lines and mutual data transmission structure, serial line analyzer is used in many ways. To use serial line analyzer, prior and professional technics about High Speed Train and experience of using device are necessary. In spite of difficult situation of space and environment where we work for maintenance of High Speed Train, in presenting basic structure about physical connection method aquired by sub-device serial line data collection and about communication data analysis, I hope that this research will be helpful for the person who work for similar area. Also, I hope that this research will help diagnostic work of High Speed Train, which is necessary for test run of independently developed High Speed Train.

In lieu of section profile data, a fitting of the bored tunnel shape is more significant confirmation for maintenance of a tunnel. Before the permit on the completion of a tunnel, deformation of the completed tunnel with respect to the design model are considered. And deformation can be produced at continuously along the entire of the tunnel section. This study firstly includes an analysis of algebraic approach and test it with an observed field data. And then a number of methods, line search method, genetic algorithm, and pattern search methods, are compared with the 3D tunnel shape fitting. Algebraic methods can solve a simple circular cylinder type as like a railway tunnel. However, a more complex model (compound circular curve and non circular) as like a highway tunnel has to be solved with soft computing tools in the cause of conditional constraints. The genetic algorithm and pattern search methods are computationally more intensive, but they are more flexible at a complex condition. The line search method is fastest, but it needs a narrow bounds of the initial values.

In this study, the welding characteristics of friction stir welding were investigated in accordance with the tool plunge position and cooling to the base materials for the joining of dissimilar materials (A6005-AZ61). Other different welding conditions, such as the tool rotation speed and welding speed, were fixed to 500rpm-30mm/min, respectively, and welding was then carried out by placing the Mg alloy (AZ61) on the advancing side and Al alloy(A6005) on the retreating side. Welding was conducted under six different conditions. To investigate the welding characteristic, tensile test and microstructure observations using an optical microscope were carried out. As the tensile test result, the maximum strength appeared under the condition in which the tool is moved 1 mm to the Mg alloy direction and cooling to the base materials. Under the same welding conditions, the strength with cooling was approximately two times higher than that without cooling. The tool was located in each direction of 1.7 mm from the weld line. Therefore, in the excessive off-set of tool position, the welding integrity was in an extremely poor condition due to the lack of stirring. This study was confirmed by the A6005-AZ61 dissimilar friction stir welding the welding speed and the tool rotation speed. In addition, the temperature control and tool plunge position are important welding parameters.

Urban railway are the most widely used means of transportation in the metropolitan area. It is difficult to draw out problems through the quantitative analysis technique because most of the research results show that most of the guide signs are installed with many or few guide signs. In this study, we propose a method to evaluate the information load and proper installation location at the main decision point in the transfer passageway for Suseo Station by applying Positive Guidance. As a result of analyzing the information load using this technique, it is suggested that the necessary information should be provided centered on the copper node because it provides confusion of the users by providing the same information in the transfer line. It is necessary to obtain guidance on how to remove the sign (advertising, high ceilings, etc). The study will be regarded as a key for the basis and placement of the guidelines for determining the appropriateness of the in the future urban railway station sign guide.

Based on Korean railway design standards, the thicknesses of the reinforced roadbeds of conventional and high speed railways are different, and so too, for the size distribution of the ballast particles. Accordingly, considerable cost would be required to increase operating speeds of conventional lines, in particular related to changing from a ballasted track system to a ballastless one. In this study, applicability of a roadbed which supports conventional ballasted track, for use as a ballastless track for a high speed rail line was examined. A reinforced roadbed for a conventional railway is 20cm thick, and the type of material used for a conventional reinforced roadbed is M-40 (crushed gravel for road embankments). A dynamics test was conducted to evaluate the occurrence of the permanent settlement of the track substructure. These results suggest that, without changes to the track substructure, an operational speed of 400km/h is feasible with a ballastless track. This result; however, is from laboratory experiments. Further studies, such as numerical analyses or field validation, are required.

A 400km/h simple catenary system was constructed as a test line in Korea. In the design stage of this system, the pre-sag was one of the engineering issues most focused on. It is known that the pre-sag improves the current collection performance in a certain band of high speed. However, the effect of pre-sag at 400km/h has not yet been established. To grasp a better pre-sag in the 400km/h catenary, we transacted the dynamic performance prediction simulation between catenary and pantograph under conditions of 0 and 1/3000 pre-sag. The level of 0 pre-sag was adapted for the 400km/h catenary design after reviewing predictions. We constituted the 1/3000 pre-sag sample section (about 1km) while constructing the 400km/h catenary test-bed (28km) of 0 pre-sag. With a HEMU-430X train, the contact forces were measured in the test-bed including the pre-sag sample section. In this paper, the predicted and measured dynamic performance values (contact forces) for 0 and 1/3000 pre-sag are described and compared. It is conclusively confirmed by analytical and experimental examination that the non pre-sag showed better dynamic (current collection) performance than that of the 1/3000 pre-sag for the 400km/h catenary system.

Track support stiffness which affected track maintenance and riding comfort had a big effect on the track and train. Also, track support stiffness of the track design which was based on theory differs from track support stiffness of the track generated on the field. Track support stiffness was generated by several factors such as dynamic wheel loads, vertical displacement of track, and stress at rail bottom on the field test. With the results of the field test was compared with theoretical value. This paper analyzed that track support stiffness of ballast depended on condition of ballast, and support stiffness of concrete track also depended on the characteristic of track structures such as, normal elastic fastening system, rail floating system and sleeper floating system. However, on the ballast and concrete track, the designed track support stiffness was underestimated less than the measured track support stiffness. When the track condition was estimated on service line, it would not consider the track condition on the field. Therefore, this study proposed the various track type and the range of track support stiffness based on the experimental test.

3 years visual inspection has been performed on the railway lines where ballast replacement or geosynthetics-reinforcement had been used to restrain the mud pumping. The result indicates that geosynthetics-reinforcement is more effective than ballast replacement for the long-term mud pumping. In addition, the non-woven geotextile to be used for mud pumping restraint is effective when its weight is $330N/m^2$ or above. Furthermore, the lateral tensile strain under ballast on which wheel load applies ranges from 0.016 to 0.1211% and it's 10 times larger than the lateral tensile strain which ranges from 0.0078 to 0.0385%.

When the trains runs at a high speed in the tunnel, passengers feel a pain in the ear that fast pressure fluctuation inside the tunnel being delivered with pressure fluctuation inside the passenger car. These phenomena are called "aural discomfort". Aural discomfort increase the passengers' uncomfort so that it is decreased a service level and serious case, it is able to damage the ear of the passenger. therefore aural discomfort must be considered the high-speed railroad tunnel cross-section design. To solve the problem of aural discomfort in a railway tunnel, some countries have standards on aural discomfort. It has been studied that different countries have different standards on aural discomfort. For that reason, the criteria of aural discomfort was reviewed through the standards of Kyungbu HSR line and different countries in this paper. And then Numerical Analysis of the Characteristics with tunnel cross-section change has been used for the selection of the optimum cross-section of Honam. The numerical analysis results were compared to field test results in order to verifying the reliability of the numerical analysis.

This study is devoted to understand the basic characteristics of the flowfield around a train in evacuated tube and to suggest an efficient numerical method to calculate the flowfield. To get steady-state solution in minimum calculation domain, various boundary condition have been tried for steady calculation and have been compared to the solution of unsteady calculation. At the train velocity of 300km/h, the aerodynamic drag results of both calculation method agreed very well. The drag ratio between on the open filed and in the tube from the calculation result by the suggested numerical method lied in the same fitting curve with that from the filed test of high-speed trains running in the line.
