The wheel-rail interaction forces are influenced by the velocity of vehicle, wheel load, alignment (curve radius, cant etc). For the safety of track structure, it is required to evaluate the influences for track and influential factors. Recently, the HEMU 430-X, which was developed by Next Generation High-Speed Rail Development R&D Project, achieved 421.4km/h in a test run of Daegu.Busan section of the Gyeongbu high speed rail on March in 2013. In the case of additional speed-up test on Test-Bed Section(Gongju.Jeongeup: KP 100~128km Osong starting point), the analysis of track forces is required for outer rail by the increase of dynamic force and centrifugal force of vehicle. In this paper, the vehicle speed variation on HSL line is evaluated by TPS analysis considering the tractive effort of HEMU 430-X, tested running resistance and alignment of Honam HSR. And the track forces are evaluated by centrifugal force and impact factor on curved track.

To mitigate excessive noise from highways, and high speed rail road, it is often necessary to construct a noise barrier. Absorptive barroer attenuation solution is obtained for the problem of diffration of a plane wave sound source by a semi-infinite plane. A finite region in the vicinity of the edge has an highly absorbing boundary condition ; the remaining portion of the half plane is rigid. The problem which is solved is a mathematical model for a hard barrier with an absorbing edge. If the wavelength of the sound is much smaller than the length scale associated with the barrier, the diffraction process is governed to all intents and purpose by the solution to a standard problem of diffraction by a semi-infinite hard plane with an absorbent edge. It is concluded that the absorbing material that comprises the edge need only be of the order of a wavelength long to have approximately the same effect, on the sound attenuation in the shadow side of the barrier. Traffic noise is composed of thousands of sources with varying frequency content. To simplify noise predictions when barriers are present, an effective frequency of 550Hz may be used to represent all vehicles. The wavelength of sound at f=550Hz for traffic noise is about 2 feet. According to the above conclusion, an absorptive highway noise barrier is only needed to cover to cover approximately a 2 foot length of absorbing material. It would be more economical to cover only the region in the immediate vicinity of the edge with highly sound obsorbent material.

우리나라는 2004년 4월 경부고속철도개통을 앞두고 마지막 준비를 하고 있다. 1964년10월 고속철도를 가장 먼저 개통한 일본을 비롯한 프랑스, 독일 등은 이미 고속철도가 철도교통의 중심은 물론 각국의 교통수송에 높은 비중을 차지하고 있다. 2001년에 일본이 경우 1일 773,951명을 수송하고 있으며, 프랑스는 228,714명을 수송하고 있다. 세계적으로도 고속철도는 2000년 현재 유럽이 15,350km, 아시아는 2,152,9km를 운영 중에 있는데 이는 2010년에는 유럽은 41,350km, 아시아는 4,755.7km로 증가될 전망이다. 특히 아시아는 2005년 10월 개통예정인 대만의 타이페이와 카오슝의 345km를 비롯하여, 중국은 상해~북경의 1,330km를 2008년 ㅂ구경올림픽에 맞추어 개통을 준비하고 있다. 일본, 프랑스, 독일 등 고속철도의 운영국가들은 고속철도수송의 수송량이 급격하게 증가하고 있다. 프랑스는 인기준으로 1996년에 비해 2001년에 49.3%, 독인은 1996년에 비해 2001년에 70.1%의 증가치를 보이고 있다. 철도수송에서의 고속철도의 비중도 높아 인${\cdot}$km기준으로 일본은 29%, 프랑스는 48.3%, 독일은 15.9%를 차지하고 있다. 이러한 고속철도가 발전한 요인은 항공기와도 경쟁이 될 정도의 빠른 속도와 안전, 높은 사회경제적 효과에 기인하고 있다. 고속철도의 비중이 높은 일본의 경우는 개통 이래 현재까지 약 62억명을 수송하고 있는데 사망사고는 한건도 없었다. 또한 1개 열차의 정시도착 오차는 24초에 불과하고, 항공기와도 경쟁력이 될 정도의 속도와 수송능력을 보유하고 있다. 실제로 500~700km구간에서 항공기와 고속철도이 경쟁이 치열한데 고속철도의 분담율이 67%를 차지하고 있다. 이러한 고속철도 발전으로 철도수송의 증가율에도 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 프랑스와 독일의 경우는 자동차수송보다 철도수송이 최근 4년간 약 10%이상 증가하고 있는 것도 고속철도의 영향에 기인하고 있다. 고속철도의 또 다른 특징으로는 높은 유발수요효과로 일본의 신간선개통전후를 비교해 보면 예상치보다 약 6%~23%의 높은 수요유발효과를 보이고 있다. 이 결과 각궁의 고속철도는 매우 높은 수익성을 기록하고 있는데 일본은 개통 후 3년째 흑자를 기록하였고, 중국도 개통 후 7년에 단년도 흑자를 예상하고 있다. 이러한 고속철도의 발전에 기초해 유럽을 비롯하여, 아시아 등에서 고속철도의 건설이 더욱 가속화 될 것으로 예상되는데, 이러한 새로운 변화의 고속철도시대에 대비하여 우리나라도 장차 건설계획수립, 해외수출, 고속철도의 상호운영 등을 지금부터 계획을 수립하여 집행해야 할 것이다.

Concrete pavement of Jungbu Expressway composed of CRCP(Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement) and JCP(Jointed Concrete Pavement). The CRCP was firstly constructed and applied to new expressway in Korea. It is a good source of the study to analyze the performance of CRCP and JCP because it experiences same amount of traffic and environmental loading. Up to the present, condition survey has conducted several times during 13 years but roughness measurement has not been carefully conducted. Through comparisons among several types of pavement(CRCP, JCP, Asphalt) by roughness, CRCP is superior to JCP. In addition, connected sections in the highway such as bridges and tunnels that have higher IRI values, about 5mm/m, than normal sections should be considered appropriated maintenance such as diamond grinding. The relationship between IRI and distresses carried out by Korea Highway Cooperation in 1999 skewed that the number of crack is related to IRI value in JCP, while other distresses of JCP and CRCP are not shown clearly. The comparison study with IRI values between Jungbu Expressway and GPS-3(JCP) and GPS-5(CRCP) of LTPP data also showed that roughness of Jungbu Expressway is not inferior to that of the state. Some of section showed larger values of IRI are linked with under-9round structures for passages and drainages. The overall performance considering only roughness, the CRCP is also superior to JCP in sections with under-ground tunnels.

The purpose of this study was to compare the microleakage of low and high viscosity flowable resins in class V cavities applied with 1-step adhesives. Forty Class V cavities were prepared on the cervices of buccal and lingual surfaces of extracted molar teeth and divided into four groups (n=8). Cavities were restored with AQ Bond Plus /Metafil Flo $\alpha$, G-Bond/ UniFil LoFlo Plus (Low flow groups), AQ Bond Plus/Metafil Flo and G-Bond/UniFil Flow (High flow group), respectively. Specimens were immersed in a 2% methylene blue solution for 24 hours, and bisected longitudinally. They were observed microleakages at the enamel and dentinal margins. In conclusion, the low viscosity flowable resins showed lower marginal microleakage than do the high vis cosity flowable resins in class V cavities.

Many traffic centers are highly hesitant in employing existing Automatic Incident Detection Algorithms due to high false alarm rate, low detection rate, and enormous effort taken in maintaining algorithm parameters, together with complex algorithm structure and filtering/smoothing process. Concerns grow over the situation particularly in Freeway Incident Management Area This study proposes a new algorithm and introduces a novel concept, the Displaced Flow Index (DiFI) which is similar to a product of relative speed and relative occupancy for every execution period. The algorithm structure is very simple, also easy to understand with minimum parameters, and could use raw data without any additional pre-processing. To evaluate the performance of the DiFI algorithm, validation test on the algorithm has been conducted using detector data taken from Naebu Expressway in Seoul and following transferability tests with Gyeongbu Expressway detector data. Performance test has utilized many indices such as DR, FAR, MTTD (Mean Time To Detect), CR (Classification Rate), CI (Composite Index) and PI (Performance Index). It was found that the DR is up to 100%, the MTTD is a little over 1.0 minutes, and the FAR is as low as 2.99%. This newly designed algorithm seems promising and outperformed SAO and most popular AIDAs such as APID and DELOS, and showed the best performance in every category.

This study was carried out to improve the ride quality of high-speed electric multiple unit. Through dynamic analysis of the HEMU-430X, the range of the equivalent conicity with a critical speed of 300 km/h was between 0.05 and 0.25. The initial adopted wheel profile of HEMU-430X was S1002. The equivalent conicity of S1002 with the mileage of more than 40,000 km was about 0.033 and it was confirmed that XP55 is more suitable for stable operation because XP55 has the equivalent conicity of over 0.061. In order to improve ride quality of high-speed electric multiple unit, the change of installation angle of the yaw damper was suggested from $7.35^{\circ}$ to $0^{\circ}$. From sensitivity analysis and optimization, the air spring lateral and vertical stiffness was suggested to be reduced by 30% and the secondary vertical and lateral damper damping coefficient was increased by 50%. By applying this, it was expected that the car body acceleration could be improved by about 20% on average. The HEMU-430X's yaw damper installation angle was changed to $0^{\circ}$ and the damping coefficient of the lateral damper was increased by 30%. When the test run was carried out at the speed of 300 km/h on the Kyungbu high-speed line, the vehicle lateral acceleration had improved by 34.3%. The effect of additional improvement measures proposed in this paper will be tested in the on track test. The riding quality improvement process used in this study can be used to solve ride quality problems that can occur in commercial operation of high-speed electric multiple unit in the future.
