The wheelset, an assembly of wheel and axle, is one of important parts in railway bogie, directly related with the running safety of railway rolling stock. In this investigation, the tensile failure behavior of railway axle materials was investigated. The tensile coupons were prepared from the actual rolling stock parts, which were operated over 20 years. The tensile testing was performed according to the KS guideline. During tensile testing, an infrared camera was employed to monitor temperature changes in specimen as well as demonstrate temperature contour in terms of infrared thermographic images. The thermographic images of tensile specimens showed comparable results with mechanical behavior of tensile materials. In this paper, the failure mode and behavior of railway axle materials were provided with the aid of infrared thermography technique.

Increasing concerns on climate change and energy security accelerated policies to reduce green-house gas emission, especially from the transportation sector. Electric vehicle (EV) has been on the spotlight to deal with such environmental issue and V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) technology began to draw attentions as an alternative to reduce ownership costs while contributing to an efficient and decentralized power grid. This study conducts a scenario analysis on total cost of ownership of EV under V2G scheme and compare with non-V2G EV and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle. As result, V2G service is expected to provide an annual average profit of $210 to EV users willing to reverse flow its residual power in the battery. The profit from V2G service leaves a margin of $4,530 over operational lifetime, compared with $2,420 cost of charge for non-V2G EV. In summary, total cost of ownership of V2G-capable EV was 6.2% less than non-V2G EV and 10.2% higher than ICE vehicle. The results confirm a comparative economic advantage of operating EV under V2G scheme. Increased number of EVs with V2G service has shown to provide positive effects to power industry for valley filling in load distribution, thus, favorably increasing the overall economic feasibility.

This paper deals with the braking dynamic behavior of diesel electric locomotive pulling domestic cargo and passenger vehicles. Friction coefficient, pneumatic pressure, and running resistance affecting the braking system were tested. For the friction coefficient, the Dynamo test was performed with reference to UIC 541-4. The results are analyzed by multivariate regression and the relationship between braking force and ititial velocity is presented. The pneumatic pressure were classified into service braking and emergency braking. In order to reflect the characteristics of the brake valve and piping, the pressure rising over time was measured in the vehicle. In order to reflect the external force acting on the vehicle, we carried out the test of EN 14067-4 and presented the second order polynomial formula on a running resistance. The running resistance test results were compared with other countries. The dynamic behavior of a diesel electric locomotive running on a straight flat track based on vehicle resources, friction coefficient, braking pressure, and running resistance is simulated using the time integration presented in EN 14531-1. The simulation results were compared and verified with the vehicle braking test results. The results of this study can be used to analyze the dynamic braking behavior of a train. Also, it is expected that various parameters affecting braking in vehicle design can be analyzed and used as basic data for braking performance improvement.

Railroad noise is one of the main causes of environmental impact. Whenever a new railroad line is planned or a housing project near an existing railroad is proposed, an estimate of the relevant noise levels is usually required. For this, it is necessary to quantify those paramters that affect the railroad noise. This paper presents an accurate prediction of railroad noise.

본 논문에서는 대우엔지니어링 철도사업부가 연구하였던 A공장 내의 철도시스템의 제어 시스템 설계 및 구현에 관한 사례를 중심으로, 철도시스템의 특성 및 자동제어시스템의 특성을 정리하고 시스템 설계방법을 논의 하고자 한다. 철도상의 최소경로 진로설정 문제는 철로의 특성상 특수한 제약이 있기 때문에 다른 일반적인 최소경로 선택방법에 따라서 기관차의 진로를 결정 할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구팀이 연구대상으로 하였으며 구현한 철도제어시스템에서는 각 출발지와 목적지별로 가능한 경로를 나열한 table들을 자성하였으며, 이 table들을 이용하여 최소경로를 선택하였다.

Diesel locomotive engine is the main source of train noise in these days but hard to reduce the level by barrier for it emitted from high location. For the passing high level noise properties of diesel locomotive engine, there are needs of changing the environmental railway limit to maximum level from equivalent. In this study we investigate the noise characteristics of the diesel electric locomotive according to the change of notch. From the result we found out the frequency of engine cycle noise and the shape of noise spectrum.

The main objective of the study is to provide the criteria for determining the proper life cycle of rebuiled diesel-electric locomotive currently being operated in KNR. We predicted the most critical sections of the cast-iron bogie and tested the diesel-electric locomotive vehicle to measure dynamic stresses applied to the bogie. The fileld test of the diesel-electric locomotive estimated 9.90years based on the fatigue-life estimation when they are continuously used in the present operation condition.
