기존선 속도향상을 위해 개발된 틸팅열차는 기존열차에 비하여 승차감의 저하 없이 곡선부를 더욱 빠르게 주행할 수 있기 때문에 전체 운행시간을 단축시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나 일반적으로 주행열차에 의해 궤도에 발생하는 힘은 주행속도의 함수로 표현되므로 주행속도가 증가하는 만큼 궤도가 부담해야할 힘의 크기도 증가하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 틸팅차량의 기존선 곡선부 주행 시 내 외측 레일의 탈선계수를 산정하여, 곡선반경 증속 여부, 선로개량 유 무에 따른 주행안정성을 평가하였으며, 기존에 운행중인 일반열차와 고속열차의 주행안정성을 비교, 분석하였다. 연구결과, 측정대상 구간에서 측정된 동적 윤중을 이용하여 산출한 동적 윤중 감소량은 차체진동을 고려한 차량 전복에 대한 동적윤중 감소한계치를 모두 만족하는 것으로 나타나 향후 틸팅차량 투입시 대상구간에서의 윤중 감소에 따른 열차탈선의 위험은 없을 것으로 판단된다.
A tilting train, which was developed to run the curve section without reducing the speed and compromising the riding quality, can improve the speed so as to reduce the travel time, compared to the existing trains. Then the force generated by the train operation to the track is in proportion to train operation speed, which means the track shall bear the increased force as much as the increase in train operation speed. Particularly, wheel load and lateral wheel load generated by train operation and distributed to the rail tend to cause the track to suffer the strain and furthermore the severe disaster such as derailment. To deal with such problem and ensure the train will run safety and stably, the tolerance in wheel load change, lateral wheel load and derailment coefficient was determined for quantitative evaluation of the train operation stability. In this study, derailment coefficient of inner and outer rail at existing curve section of tilting train was determined to evaluate the curve radius, possibility of acceleration and the need of rail improvement, which was then compared with the existing traditional train and high speed train. Conducting the quantitative evaluation of dynamic wheel load and lateral wheel load of each train, which was based on field survey, derailment coefficient and static & dynamic wheel load change, which serve the evaluation criteria of train operation stability, were determined for comparison with the standards, thereby analyzing the stability of the tilting train.
