Abstract

When trains run over a snow-covered track at high speed, the snow accereted under car bodies may drop during train running. The dropped snow lumps scatter the ballast on the track damaging the car body and the environment along the track in snowy regions. In this study, various countermeasures to prevent the ballast from scattering has been investigated and compared. Furthermore, the implementation of the ballast-flying prevention methods to passing-by station has been examined through which the KTX train passes about 300km/h speed.
