Train accidents can be directly connected to fatal accidents-collision, derailment, Fire, railway crossing accidents-resulting in tremendous human casualties. First of all, the railway derailment is not only related to most of railway accidents but also it can lead to much more catastrophic accompanying train overtured than other factors. Therefore, it is most important factor to ensure railway safety. some foreign countries have applied to the detector machines(e.g., ultrasonic detector car, sleep mode, current detector, optical sensing, optical fiber). Since it was developed in order to prevent train from being derailed. In korea, the existing track method has been used to monitor rail condition using track circuit. However, we found out it impossible for Communication Based Train Control system(CBTC), recent technology to detect rail condition using balise(data transmission devices) without no track circuit. For this reason, it is needed instantly to develop real-time monitoring system used to detect broken rails. Firstly, this paper presents domestic and international statues analysis of rail breaks technology. Secondly, the composition and the characteristics of the real-time monitoring system. Finally, the evidence that this system could assumed the location and type of broken rails was proved by the experiment of prototype and operation line tests. We concluded that this system can detect rail break section in which error span exist within${\pm}1m$.

A comprehensive analysis of wheel force spectrum is conducted to provide the KTX safety evaluation with structural behaviour of Pre-Stressed Concrete (PSC) box bridge due to various high speeds. The wheel spectrum for KTX locomotive running over road and PSC bridge tracks is compared using irregular track responses with numerical models of 170m approach road track and 40m span length of PSC box bridge The high-speed railway locomotive is used as 38-degree of freedom system. Three displacements (vertical, lateral, and longitudinal) and three rotational components (pitching, rolling, and yawing) for one car-body and two bogies are considered in the 38-degree of freedom model. Three dimensional frame element of finite element method (FEM) is used to model of the simply supported PSC box bridge. The irregulation of rail-way is derived using the experiential spectrum density function under assumption of twelve level tracks conditions based on the normal probability procedure. The dynamic analyses by Runge-Kutta method which are able to analyze the high frequency wheel force spectrum. A dynamic behaviour of KTX due to high speeds until 450km/h developing speed with relative time is analysed and compared the characteristics running over the road and PSC box bridge tracks. Finally, the KTX integrated evaluation method of safety between high speed train and bridge is presented.

In the area of wheel on rail vehicle, hunting stability which is generated by lateral motion is one of important characteristics for running safety. It might cause not only oscillation of vehicle but also derailment in an unstable area of the high speed. A Maglev vehicle is usually controlled the voltage to maintain the air gap between electromagnet and track. However, in Maglev system, an occurrence possibility of hunting motion could be high, because Maglev vehicle is not controlled directly lateral force between electromagnet and track in the curved guideway. In this paper, running safety is evaluated when Maglev vehicle run on guideway at high speed according to installment of damper between maglev vehicles and bogies, and to analyze the effect of it. Also, the parametric study is carried out for selecting effective lateral damper properties through the simulation. To accurately predict the running safety, 3d multibody dynamics models which are included air spring, guideway conditions and irregularities profile are used. With the results acquired, suggestions were made whether to adopt the damper and how to optimize the damping characteristics.

In this paper, a framework is proposed for dynamic analysis of train-bridge systems with a damaged pier after barge collision. In simulating the barge-pier collision, the concrete pier is considered to be nonlinear-inelastic, and the barge-bow is modeled as elastic-plastic. The changes of dynamic properties and deformation of the damaged pier, and the additional unevenness of the track induced by the change of deck profile, are analyzed. The dynamic analysis model for train-bridge coupling system with a damaged pier is established. Based on the framework, an illustrative case study is carried out with a $5{\times}32m$ simply-supported PC box-girder bridge and the ICE3 high-speed train, to investigate the dynamic response of the bridge with a damaged pier after barge collision and its influence on the running safety of high-speed train. The results show that after collision by the barge, the vibration properties of the pier and the deck profile of bridge are changed, forming an additional unevenness of the track, by which the dynamic responses of the bridge and the car-body accelerations of the train are increased, and the running safety of high-speed train is affected.

Owing to the lightening of railway vehicles and increased operation speeds, the reduction of running safety in the presence of crosswind is becoming an important problem. In particular, the running safety tends to decrease when vehicles run on curved track. When a crosswind acts on a vehicle negotiating a curve from the outer side, flange climbing can occur. In this study, a full-vehicle model was constructed using the multi-body simulation software SIMPACK, and a simulation of a bogie vehicle with two-axle trucks negotiating a curve was carried out to examine the running safety under the condition where a crosswind acts on the vehicle from the outer side of the curve. As a result, it was verified that the derailment coefficient of the first wheelset becomes large in the exit transition curve and the coefficient of the third wheelset does in the entrance transition curve, and this trend becomes pronounced at low operation speeds in the presence of a stronger crosswind. It was also shown that the critical derailment coefficients obtained by modified Nadal's formula considering the effect of attack angle become close to the actual derailment coefficients at the timing that flange climbing occurs.

Tilting train allow the train to pass curve at higher speed without affecting passenger comfort. As the tilting trains run curve track about 30$\%$ higher than non-tilting trains, the centrifugal force and dynamic force will be higher. Therefore it is very important for tilting train to ensure safety against derailment, and to reduce the lateral track forces by applying light-weight design, optimized suspension design and steering mechanism. The 180 km/h Korean Tilting Train(TTX) which is now developing as a part of the Korean National R & D project, was designed and analytically verified to meet these special requirements. This paper describes the analytic study to verify the safety against derailment, especially on the wheel unloading in case of tilting actuation. The severest curve geometry and curving speed was assumed, the tilting control pattern was also assumed as trapezoidal force function applied to tilting bolster and bogie frame. For the comparison, the operation with the speed of tilting train without tilting actuation was numerically simulated and the operation with the balanced speed without tilting actuation was also numerically simulated. Through the numerical simulation of various operating case, we found that derailment quotients, wheel unloading and Q/P was not affected by tilting actuation and that the bogie of TTX was nicely designed to satisfy the safety against the derailment.

To consider the effects of the increasing speed of next-generation high-speed trains, the existing traffic safety code for railway bridges needs to be improved. This study suggests a numerical method of evaluating the new effects of this increasing speed on railway bridges. A prestressed concrete (PSC) box bridge with a 40 m span length on the Gyeongbu track sector is selected as a representative example of high-speed railway bridges in Korea. Numerical models considering the inertial mass forces of a 38-degree-of-freedom train and the interaction forces with the bridge as well as track irregularities are presented in detail. The vertical deflections and accelerations of the deck are calculated and compared to find the new effects on the bridge arising with increasing speed under simply and continuously supported boundary conditions. The ratios between the static and dynamic responses are calculated as the dynamic amplification factors (DAFs) under different running speeds to evaluate the traffic safety. The maximum deflection and acceleration caused by the running speed are indicated, and regression equations for predicting these quantities based on the speed are also proposed.

궤도틀림은 철도차량의 주행안전성과 승차감에 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 유지보수와 밀접한 관계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 경부고속철도 개통 이후 경부고속선 구간에서 검측된 궤도틀림에 대하여 통계분석을 수행하였다. 우선, 궤도틀림 검측에 사용된 검측차(EM120)의 검측특성, 즉 현정시법 검측원리를 사용하는 경우에 대한 파장대역별 전달함수 특성을 조사하였다. 고저틀림과 방향틀림에 대한 파장의 분포 특성 분석결과에 의하면, 단파장의 파장대역의 분포비율이 상당히 높았으며 파장이 길어질수록 발생빈도는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. EN규정에서 규정하고 있는 파장대역별로 구분하여 분포 현황을 조사한 결과는 D1 영역의 분포비율이 대부분을 차지하고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 또한, 궤도틀림 항목별로 궤도틀림 크기에 따른 분포 특성을 조사하였으며, 궤도틀림의 크기가 증가할수록 발생빈도는 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 궤도틀림 분포 특성에 대한 조사결과는 궤도틀림 유지보수 계획수립 및 궤도틀림 기준설정을 위한 기초자료로 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

분기기 궤도구조는 매우 복잡한 구조와 다양한 구성품으로 구성되어 일반 궤도보다 유지관리가 어렵고 보다 상세한 관리기준이 필요한 철도시설물이다. 본 연구의 목적은 공용중인 도시철도 선로와 인접한 굴착공사에 따른 지상부 분기기 궤도구조의 변형에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 인접굴착 시공단계별 수치해석을 바탕으로 지상구간에 부설된 분기기 궤도선형을 고려한 주요위치별 궤도변형을 분석하였으며 이를 궤도틀림 기준과 비교하여 안전성을 확인하였다. 분석결과, 지상 분기기 궤도변형에 영향을 미치는 주요 시공단계는 굴착 최종 단계로 나타났으며, 면(고저)틀림인 연직변위가 상대적으로 크게 발생하였으나, 전체적으로는 수평방향의 변형이 지배적인 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 굴착 현장이 분기기 측면에 위치하는 측방굴착의 영향인 것으로 판단된다. 또한 분기기 주요위치별 변형량이 상이하고 굴착현장과의 이격거리에 따른 위치별 궤도변형의 편차가 발생하여 평면성틀림이 발생될 소지가 있을 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 현재 발생된 궤도틀림을 바탕으로 인접굴착에 따른 추가적인 변위를 포함한 실 운행선 분기기 궤도구조의 궤도변형을 주요변형 특성이 발생되는 위치별로 중요도를 구분하여 별도의 관리가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.
