The Study of the System of In-Board Bogie for EMU

전동차용 인보드 대차 시스템에 대한 고찰

In general the limit of EMU bases on the construction gauge. But to save the cost for construction, there is often a case that the gauge of construction for bogie is narrower than the existing gauge. Finally, out-board bogie type cannot be applicable because of the space. In this case, we can use the in-board bogie type which the support distance of both suspensions is narrower than out-board bogie. But we cannot use an in-board bogie indifferently because car with in-board bogie must also have the same performance as out-board bogie in wider gauge. Accordingly, we have to consider how many moments in the suspensions are applied due to the narrower support distance. And the characteristics of suspensions in the in-board bogie must be decided from the moments.
