In recent years, with the rapid development of large and medium-sized urban rail transit in China, the total operating mileage of high-speed railway and the total number of EMUs(Electric Multiple Units) are rising. The system complexity of high-speed EMU is constantly increasing, which puts forward higher requirements for the safety of equipment and the efficiency of maintenance.At present, the maintenance mode of high-speed EMU in China still adopts the post maintenance method based on planned maintenance and fault maintenance, which leads to insufficient or excessive maintenance, reduces the efficiency of equipment fault handling, and increases the maintenance cost. Based on the intelligent operation and maintenance technology of PHM(prognostics and health management). This thesis builds an integrated PHM platform of "vehicle system-communication system-ground system" by integrating multi-source heterogeneous data of different scenarios of high-speed EMU, and combines the equipment fault mechanism with artificial intelligence algorithms to build a fault prediction model for traction motors of high-speed EMU.Reliable fault prediction and accurate maintenance shall be carried out in advance to ensure safe and efficient operation of high-speed EMU.

Recently, Due to the rapid growth of broadcasting communication and video coding technologies, the demands for immersive media contents based on 3D stereoscopic video will increase steadily. And the demands must ultimately provide the contents for users which are in wireless channel such as vehicle, train, and ship. Thus, in this paper, we transmit the 3D stereoscopic video over the maritime Rician channel that direct wave is more dominant than reflective wave. Besides, we present unequel error protection (UEP) by applying hierarchical 4/16-QAM to V+D(Video plus Depth) format which can represent 3D stereoscopic video. We expect our system to provide seamless broadcasting service for users with poor reception condition.

In this paper, for the purpose of improving the future domestic train control systems and securing interoperability according to the global development trends of train control systems, we present the test results of communication interfaces to verify the interoperability between CBTC wayside units tentatively installed in Bundang line that is one of the metropolitan area rail transit systems, and the CBTC onboard units developed through the national R/D project. The CBTC onboard equipment developed, has finished its installation and trial tests in the Bundang shunting yard. For the interoperability test, we should make an interface test with wayside equipment tentatively installed in Bundang line. Due to the safety-critical characteristics of train systems, the site test in the section where the wayside equipment is installed, leads to a danger against safety. Therefore, by way of constructing a simulation environment of train control systems, we confirm the T/R data systems of the equipment for interoperability and test the interoperability by applying these systems to developed CBTC onboard equipment.

지난 백여 년 동안 인간은 과거의 그 어떤 선조들도 이루지 못한 지식과 기술의 발전을 통해 고도로 산업화된 사회를 이루었지만, 전 지구적으로 기후변화라는 부차적인 결과와 현실에 직면하고 있다. 이상기후 현상은 전지구 규모뿐만 아니라 일정한 소규모 지역에서도 관측되고 있으며, 국내에서는 특히 특정 지역에 국한되어 단시간에 발생하는 집중호우가 대표적인 사례이다. 현재까지 집중호우 발생 지역과 정도를 예측하기란 불가능한 상태이며, 산업화와 도시화가 진행될수록 그 피해는 더욱 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 집중호우에 대비한 도시 배수 시스템을 재점검할 필요가 있으며, 기존의 배수시설을 대체할 만큼 효율적인 배수구조물의 개발이 시급하다. 기존 도시지역의 측구형 수로관에는 마감불량, 정밀시공의 어려움, 이물질의 누적과 물고임, 노출로 인한 파손, 포장층 침투수 배수문제 등 많은 문제점들이 존재한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 측구형 수로관의 단점을 보완하는 더욱 효율적인 집수정을 개발하고자 하였다. 집수정을 덮고 있는 포장층 상부면을 따라 흐르는 표면수를 처리할 뿐만 아니라, 포장층 내부로 스며드는 침투수를 처리 가능하도록 구조체 상부에 침투수 유입공을 설치하여, 표면수와 침투수를 동시에 고려하는 이중배수 시스템을 구성하였다. 본 연구에서 개발하는 집수정 구조체는 침투수에 의한 도로 및 구조체의 내구성 감소 및 겨울철 동파 현상을 방지할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 단순공정, 시공성 향상, 유지비용절감 등 기존 배수 시스템과 비교해 많은 장점을 내포하고 있다. 본 연구에서 개발하는 이중배수 집수정의 효율 및 배수능력 평가를 위해서는 기존의 구조체와 차별되는 침투수 유입공에 대한 평가가 선행되어야 한다. 이를 위해서 침투수 유입공에 대한 실내 실험 장치를 구축하였으며, 반복 실험을 통해 침투수 유입공을 통한 배출 능력을 평가하고자 하였다. 또한 실험 결과를 바탕으로 구조체의 효능을 결정짓는 기준을 제시하고자 한다.

자연적으로 발생되는 파도, 비, 우박 등과 철도, 차량 및 엘리베이터 등과 같은 인위적인 설치, 이동에 의해 발생되는 진동에너지는 우리 일상생활에서 가장 흔하게 발생할 수 있는 에너지원인데, 이러한 진동에너지는 압전 소재를 이용하여 재생 가능하여 최근에는 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 예를 들면, 미국의 MIT에서는 인간이 걸을 때 신발에 가해지는 압력을 이용하여 전력을 발생시키는 연구를 진행하여 2.9 mW의 전력을 얻었다. 특히 이러한 기술은 인간의 걷기 운동 등과 같은 일상적인 동작으로 필요한 전력을 얻을 수 있고, 세라믹 소자를 이용하기 때문에 전자노이즈가 발생되지 않을 뿐 아니라 반영구적으로 사용할 수가 있어서, 소형 전자기기 등에 서 기존 이차전지를 대체 또는 보완 할 수 있는 기술로 검토되고 있다. PZT계 세라믹스는 높은 유전상수와 우수한 압전특성으로 이러한 압전발전 분야에서 가장 널리 사용되어지고 있다. 하지만 에너지 효율을 높이기 위하여 적층 구조의 제작 시 구조적 특성상 내부전극이 도포된 상태에서 동시 소결이 필요한데, $1000^{\circ}C$ 이상의 높은 소결온도 때문에 소재 원가가 낮은 Ag전극 대신 값비싼 Pd나 pt가 다량 함유된 Ag/Pd, Ag/Pt 전극이 사용되고 있어 경제성이 떨어지는 단점을 갖게 된다. 순수 Ag 전극을 사용하거나 Ag의 비율이 높은 내부전극을 사용하기 위해서는 $900^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 소결되고 우수한 전기적 특성을 보이는 압전 세라믹스 소재를 개발 하는 것이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 압전특성이 우수한 $(Pb_{1-x}Cd_x)(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.25}(Zr_{0.35}/Ti_{0.4})O_3$ 계의 조성을 설계하고, 소결온도를 낮추기 위해서 2 단계 하소법을 이용하였다. 또한 $MnCO_3$, $SiO_2$, $Pb_3O_4$ 등을 소랑 첨가하여 액상 소걸 특성을 부여하여 소결 온도를 감소시키려는 시도도 하였다. 소결체의 전체적인 제조 공정은 일반적인 벌크 세라믹의 소걸 공정을 따랐다. 최종 소결된 시편을 XRD분석을 통하여 상을 확인하였고 SEM을 이용하여 미세조직을 관찰 하였다. 전기적 특성을 평가하기 위하여 두께를 1mm로 연마한 시편에 Ag 전극을 도포하여 $650^{\circ}C$ 에서 열처리한 후, 분극처리 하였다. Impedance analyzer를 이용하여 압전 특성 (전기기계결합계수 및 기계적품질계수)을 측정 하였고, 압전전하상수는 $d_{33}$-meter로 측정하였다. 본 연구에서는 압전체에 가해지는 하중의 크기, 시편의 크기, 하중을 가하는 방법, 에너지 저장회로의 최적화 등을 다양하게 시도하면서 에너지 변환 및 저장 효율을 평가하였다.

Research on condition monitoring and diagnosis of power facilities has been conducted to improve the safety and reliability of electric power supply. Although insulation diagnostic techniques for unit equipment such as gas-insulated switchgears and transformers have been developed rapidly, studies on monitoring of cables have only included aspects such as whether defects exist and partial discharge (PD) detection; other characteristics and features have not been discussed. Therefore, this paper dealt with PD characteristics against void sizes and positions, and with defect localization in XLPE cable. Four types of defects with different sizes and positions were simulated and PD pulses were detected using a high frequency current transformer (HFCT) with a frequency range of 150kHz~30MHz. The results showed that the apparent charge increased when the defect was adjacent to the conductor; the pulse count in the negative half of the applied voltage was about 20% higher than that in the positive half. In addition, the defect location was calculated by time-domain reflectometry (TDR) method, it was revealed that the defect could be localized with an error of less than1m in a 50m cable.

The Office for Government Policy Coordination announced in 2006, september that a scheme of pre-signal would show remarkable outcome to reduce traffic accidents. Therefore, the Ministry recommended applying preferentially the pre-signal scheme to enhancement projects for high accident frequency areas. In case that the suggested pre-signal was unilaterally introduced to the enhancement projects at intersections, it might rather cause a big trial and error in terms of traffic safety. Hence, on the basis of quantitative analysis, this study was to indicate a pre-signal's effectiveness to reduce the traffic accidents, to illustrate a trend of the accident type due to the pre-signal, and to introduce intersection type that could be appropriate for the pre-signal. The methodology adopted Comparison-Group Method which was developed by Hauer. Through this methodology, overall effectiveness to reduce the accidents is considered positive but individual effectiveness by intersection and by accident case was different. All cases of the accidents at small scale intersection demonstrated positive results to reduce its accidents, while in case of frontal collision and side-right angle collision out of the accident types, the installation of pre-signal rather caused a negative result increasing the accident in terms of the traffic safety. I hope that this study would be a useful reference for future development of the estimation of accident effectiveness. Thus, when the pre-signal is being installed in the big intersection, it is recommended operating the installation concerning carefully improvements about muliple aspects as traffic operation, traffic facility, human factor etc.

3D printing is an additive manufacturing technology that can produce complex shapes in a single process for a range of materials, such as polymers, ceramics, and metals. Recent 3D printing technology has developed to a level that enables the mass-production through an improvement of the printing speed and the continuous development of applicable materials. In this study, 3D printing technology using a laser was applied to manufacture a heat exchanger for an air compressor in a railway vehicle. First, the optimal design of the heat exchanger was carried out by focusing on weight reduction and compactness as a shape suitable for 3D printing. Based on the design derived, heat exchanger prototypes were made of AlSi10Mg alloy material by applying the SLM technique. Moreover, the manufactured prototypes were attached to an existing air compressor, and the heat exchange performance of the compressed air was tested. The test results of the 3D printed prototypes showed a heat exchange performance of approximately 80% and 85% at low and high-pressure, respectively, compared to the existing heat exchanger. From the 𝓔-NTU method results with an external cooling air condition similar to that of the existing heat exchanger, the calculated heat transfer amount of 3D printed parts showed similar performance compared to the existing heat exchanger. As a result, the 3D printed heat exchanger is lightweight with good performance.

The rapid growth of IoT technology induced by the fourth industrial revolution has resulted in research into various types of wireless sensors, and applications based on this technology are prevalent in many areas. However, among the various sites where this technology is used, railway bridges and tunnels with lengths of tens of kilometers have problems with data acquisition, due to the signal noise induced by the long distance measurement and EMI induced by the high voltage power feeding system, when conventional electric sensors are used. To overcome these problems, many studies on fiber optic sensors have been conducted as a substitute for the conventional electric sensors. However, restrictions on the types of fiber optic sensors have limited their application in railways. For this reason, a hybrid measurement system with IoT based wireless data communication, in which both electric and fiber optic sensors can be applied simultaneously, has been developed. In this study, in order to evaluate the applicability of the hybrid measurement system developed in the previous study, a real-time test for 4 types of measurement environments, which reflect possible railway sites, is performed. As a result, it was confirmed that the signals from both the electric and fiber optic sensors, which were acquired at a remote area in real-time, showed good agreement with each other and that this measurement system has the potential to handle sensors with a sampling rate of 2.5 kHz. In the future, it is expected that the IoT-based hybrid measurement system will contribute to the improvement of structural safety by enabling real-time structural health monitoring when applied to various measurement sites.
