Abstract

Transition curves are located between curve and straight section in railway. These transition curves are vulnerable to the ride comfort of passengers and safety of a vehicle because lateral acceleration, lateral jerk and roll velocity increase as curvature and cant change along the transition curves. In this paper, ride comfort on the transition curve was calculated on the basis of lateral acceleration and roll velocity measurements. The evaluation of ride comfort was conducted according to the methodology specified in European Standard. The distribution characteristics of the comfort index were investigated for the korean conventional line from the evaluation results. The influence of the curve radius and the vehicle speed on the ride comfort index was also investigated. Finally, the relationship between ride comfort and the rate of cant changes on transition curves was analyzed.

완화곡선구간은 직선과 곡선사이에 설치되는 구간이며, 곡선반경 및 캔트 등의 선형변화에 따라 차량의 횡방향 가속도, 횡방향 저크 및 롤속도의 변화가 발생하여 차량주행안전성 및 승차감 측면에서 취약구간이 된다. 본 논문에서는 철도차량의 차체횡가속도와 롤속도의 계측결과를 이용하여 완화곡선 구간의 승차감을 정량적으로 산정하였으며, 승차감 평가기법은 EN규격에서 제시하는 완화곡선 구간의 승차감 평가방법을 사용하였다. 평가결과로 부터 통하여 국내 일반철도 노선의 완화곡선구간 승차감의 분포특성을 조사하였으며, 곡선반경 크기와 차량 속도가 완화곡선 구간의 승차감에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 마지막으로, 캔트 시간변화율과 완화곡선 승차감의 관계를 분석하였다.
