The flows around a high speed train are very important because they could affect the aerodynamic characteristics such as drag and acoustic noise. Especially the boundary layer of flows could represent the characteristic of flows around the high speed train. Most previous studies have focused on the boundary layer region along the train length direction for the side of the train and underbody. The measurement and analysis of the boundary layer for the roof side is also very important because it could determine the flow inlet condition for the pantograph. In this study, the roof boundary layer was measured with a 1/20 scaled model of the next generation high speed train, and the results were compared with full-scaled computational fluid dynamics results to confirm their validity. As a result, it was confirmed that the flow inlet condition for the pantograph is about 85% of the train speed. Additionally, the characteristics of the boundary layer, which increases along the train direction, was also analyzed.

Recent high-speed trains around the world have achieved remarkable improvement in speed. In Korea, the new high-speed train with maximum speed of 400km/h has been developing through the 'Future High-Speed Rail System Project'. The improvement in train speed brings numerous aerodynamic problems such as strong aerodynamic resistance, noise, drastic pressure variation due to the crosswind or passing by, micro-pressure wave at tunnel exit, and so on. Especially, the nose shape of high-speed train is closely related to the most of the aerodynamic problems. Also the pantograph has to be considered for noise prevention and detachment problems. In this paper, the project, 'Research on the Aerodynamic Technology Advancement of the High-Speed EMU' is introduced briefly, which is one of the efforts for the speed improvement of the 'HEMU400x'. Finally, two main results of train nose and pantograph will be shown. First, the optimization of the cross-sectional area distribution of the high-speed train nose to reduce tunnel micro-pressure wave, and second, robust design optimization of the panhead shape of a pantograph.

환경 소음,진동 개선의 측면에서 철도 레일 하부로 전달되는 진동 및 구조소음을 효과적으로 차단하기 위하여 국내에서도 탄성지지 구조의 플로팅 슬라브를 적용하는 경우가 증가하고 있다. 플로팅 슬라브 구조설계에 있어 주안점은 슬라브 자체 중량에 비하여 열차 중량과 열차 주행간에 발생하는 동하중이 2$\sim$3배 이상 높아 열차 주행 안정성을 고려해야 하는 점이며 열차의 고속화 경향에 따라 동하중의 증가는 더욱 커지고 있다. 특히, 열차의 구조 동특성과 동하중의 주파수 특성을 고려할 경우 슬라브 구조의 동적 설계변수(고유진동수, 감쇠비 등) 결정이 매우 제한되고 있음을 고려하면 탄성지지부의 감쇠 및 강성의 가변 특성의 부여는 매우 중요하다 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 MR 댐퍼와 MR 방진고무 등의 반능동 소재를 사용하여 열차 주행간에 발생하는 탄성지지 슬라브의 진동을 제어하는 시뮬레이션을 수행함으로써 적용 가능성을 확인하고자 한다.

The majority of high-speed railway bridges along the domestic Gyeongbu and Honam lines feature a PSC-box type structure with a span length ranging from 35 to 40m, which typically exhibits a first bending natural frequency of approximately 4 to 5Hz. When KTX high-speed trains transverse these bridges at speeds ranging from 290 to 310km/h, the vibration induced by the trains approaches the first bending natural frequency of the bridge. Furthermore, with the upcoming operation of a EMU-320 high-speed train and the anticipated increase in the speeds of these high-speed trains, there is a need to analyze the dynamic response of high-speed railway bridges. For this, based on measured responses from actual railway bridges, a numerical model was constructed using a numerical model updating technique. The dynamic response of the updated numerical model exhibited a strong agreement with the measured response from the actual railway bridges. Subsequently, this updated model was utilized to analyze the dynamic response characteristics of the bridges when KTX and EMU-320 trains operate at increased speeds. The maximum vertical displacement and acceleration at the mid-span of the bridges were also compared to those specified in the railway design standard with the increasing speed of KTX and EMU-320.

When constructing a high-speed railroad, the reduction of the distance between track centers and the width of track bed will save the construction cost. However the shortening the distance between track centers may cause the stability problems due to higher wind pressure. Therefore the extensive technical review and aerodynamical study should be performed to determine the adequate distance between track centers. In this study, the impact that the increase in wind pressure due to the change of aerodynamic phenomena with the change of the distance between track centers may have on two trains passing by each other was predicted, and the stability of train operation was analyzed in order to review the distance between track centers suitable to Honam HSR trains. And we estimated the aerodynamical effects by the results of the field test.

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.

본 글에서는 건설기술자의 입장에서, 고속철도에서 발생하는 진동현상 및 그 대책에 대해 개략적으로 살펴보았다. 불행히도 현재까지 고속철도 진동에 관한 국내 연구는 거의 전무한 실정이어서, 여기서 제시된 대부분의 자료는 현재 고속 철도가 운행되고 있는 선진외국에서 수행한 연구결과를 인용한 것이다. 그러나 진동 문제는 열차 고속화를 추진함에 있어서 반드시 해결해야 될 주요과제의 한 분임을 감안하여, 공단에서는 열차가 350 km/h까지 주행시 고속철도에서 발생하는 진동을 예측하고, 이에 대한 대책을 강구하기 위한 연구를 적극적으로 추진하고 있으며, 진동문제외에 소음, 승차감, 탈선계수, 공기동력학 등 고속철도 및 일반철도의 고속 화와 관련된 제반연구를 단계적으로 추진하고 있다. 이러한 기회를 통하여 독자들에 게 고속철도에 관한 지대한 관심을 가지고, 다방면에서의 기술협조 및 정보교환을 간곡히 요청하는 바이다.

본 논문에서는 국내 고속철도 차량 즉, 경부고속철도를 운행하는 KTX, KTX산천 그리고 현재 개발중인 HEMU400x을 대상으로 운행속도 및 운행패턴에 따른 열차 소비전력을 분석하였다. 이를 위해, 선로조건을 고려한 차량의 운전속도 조건과 운행시간,소비전력 등을 예측하기 위한 TPS(Train Performance Simulation)프로그램을 이용하였다. 열차운행 시뮬레이션을 수행하기 위해선 차량, 선로, 속도의 기본 데이터를 필요로 한다. 차량에 대한 데이터는 차량의 최고속도, 제동성능, 견인력 등의 기본 성능과 열차편성에 따른 중량, 길이, 동력차량형식, 열차주행저항등에 대한 제원을 요한다. 선로데이터는 운행시간 예측을 대상으로 하는 선로에 대한 거리별 구배 및 선형, 정거장 위치 및 정차시간에 대한 데이터이다. 속도조건은 구배 및 곡선에 대한 선로제한속도로, 선로데이터와 연계하여 각 선로위치별 차량의 제한속도로 이용된다. 본 논문에서는 경부고속철도 구간에서 운행하는 고속차량 3가지를 대상으로 증속에 따른 전력소모량을 비교하였다.
