Abstract

Urban railway vehicles operate in downtown areas. Due to increases in the number of passengers and changes in the service plans, railway vehicles are expected to operate on sharp curved tracks. However, on these tracks, the running stability of the railway vehicles is significantly decreased and the creepage is increased. Creepage causes the wheel/rail to wear and vibration. Therefore, reducing the creepage helps ensure the running stability and can be beneficial for the environment and cost. In this paper, the longitudinal creepage is analyzed using a railway vehicle model on a sharp curved track. Furthermore, in order to minimize the problems when a railway vehicle runs on a sharp curved track, the characteristics of a bogie are optimized using response optimization.

도시철도는 도심내를 운행하는 철도차량으로써, 도시철도 이용이 활발해지고 운행 계획에 따라 급곡선 구간의 운용이 필요할 것으로 예상된다. 하지만 이러한 급곡선 선로에서는 철도차량의 주행 안정성이 현저히 감소하며 크리피지가 증가하게 된다. 크리피지는 차륜이 레일 위를 구를 때 접촉면에서의 속도차에 의한 미끄러짐 량으로 차륜 마모, 진동 등의 원인이 된다. 따라서 크리피지를 줄이는 것은 주행 안정성 확보 및 환경 문제, 비용 저감에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 급곡선 선로 주행에 의한 주행방향 크리피지 발생 정도를 전동차를 모델링하여 분석하고 나아가서 급곡선 선로 주행 시 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 최소화하기 위한 대차 특성을 최적화한다.
