Track geometry consists of tangent and curved lines, which caused undesirable changes in initial track geometry by traffic loads. The bigger the changes are, the worse the riding comfort and running stability of train. This is so-called track irregularity and is the most important quality parameters of ballasted track. To be able to objectively assess track irregularity, track geometry should be able to be measured. Practically, railway companies use moving chord method, this method determine versine values via a chord. The versine is the vertical distance to curve measured in the middle of the chord. This type of method measures only versine of track irregularity curve by transfer function from specific property of measuring tool. In this report, review the characteristics of two types of measuring tools by comparing the measurements. The one is GRP-1000 system, optical surveying system with Total station and lazar prism trolly. This calculates track geometry by surveying absolute coordinates of two points each on both rail heads. The other is Trackmaster, measures versine with 2m of chord length.

The one is GRP-1000 system, optical surveying system with Total station and lazar prism trolley. This calculates track geometry by surveying absolute coordinates of two points each on both rail heads. The other is EM-120, measures versine with 10m of symmetrical chord length.

All work related to maintenance of track has been impletemented on the basis of the measured result from EM series cars in Korea. However, since these types of cars measure only versine value of the track irregularities instead of the real ones, this method will cause the confusion to maintenance operators if commercial speed should increase. This study was showing and explaining the program developed to get the real irregularities from the versine value. Finally, the reconstruction profiles completed by two different methods were compared with artificial track irregularities to confirm the their practicality.

Power spectral density (PSD) model of irregularities for the maglev test track is presented. Track irregularities (gauge, cant, twist and vertical) were calculated from the survey data of sleepers on the test track. PSD model was constructed from the estimated PSDs of each track irregularities. Versine (gauge, cant, twist, vertical and lateral) of the track is obtained and their PSDs were estimated, too. Presented PSD model can be used for the analysis of levitation stability and ride quality of the maglev system.

This paper is focused on a simplified measurement of rail irregularity by some axle-box accelerometers for high-speed rail condition monitoring with in-service high-speed trains. Generally, the rail condition monitoring has been done by a special railway inspection vehicle with a 10m versine method. But, the monitoring method needs some expensive measurement system, and have been performed only at night due to its speed limit. In this research, a simplified measurement of rail irregularity using axle-box accelerometers is proposed to monitor the rail condition with in-service high-speed trains. The acceleration is measured by using two accelerometers on a axle-box, and stored in an on-board data acquisition system. The displacement is estimated from the acceleration data by a combination of Kalman filter and the frequency selective filter. The estimated results are compared with the measurement from a laser rail inspection system which is near the axle-box. From the comparison, the proposed method shows promise as a tool for the simplified measurement of rail irregularity at high-speed.

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.
