운행조건에 따른 한국형 고속열차의 승차감에 관한 고찰

Discussion of the ride comfort for Korean high speed train according to the operational conditions

The ride comfort is more important according to train speedup. Generally it is defined as the vehicle vibration. There are many studies on evaluation method of ride comfort for railway. In the case of Korean high speed train(HSR 350x), the ride comfort has been assessed by statistical method according to UIC 513R. To verify the design requirements for the performance of HSR 350x, the qualification tests had been conducted from August 19, 2002 to December 2004 and the stabilization and reliability tests are carried out nowadays. Up to December 2006, total test runs and the accumulated milage of the train were 357 times and 164,000km, respectively. A total of 352 ride indices had been acquired through the on-line test from Aug. 2002 to Dec. 2006. In this paper, we have reviewed the characteristics of ride comfort for HSR 350x according to the operational conditions, such as load and track conditions, season and used time, by using the tests data.
