최근 지구온난화 및 원유 공급 감소 또는 고갈로 에너지 효율성 높고 저탄소 녹색성장을 주도할 수 있는 철도산업에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 초고속 자기부상철도는 에너지 효율이 높은 경제적인 교통수단으로써, 단위 수송당(인-km) 온실가스 배출량이 자동차의 38%, 항공기의 17%에 불과하고, 같은 궤도운송시스템인 고속철도에 비해서도 77%에 불과하고 단위수송당 에너지 소비율이 항공기의 80% 수준에 불과하므로, 화석에너지의 고갈이 예상되는 미래에 장거리 고속 이동 수단으로써 중요성이 확대되고 있다. 또한, 비접촉 추진 방식이므로 바퀴 접촉식 고속철도에 비해서 유지보수 비용이 저렴하고(34%에 불과) 고속철도에 비해 10dB 이상 소음 발생이 적은 수명주기 비용 및 환경측면에서 기존 철도시스템에 비해서 경쟁력이 있으므로 시급한 개발과 활용이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 초고속 자기부상철도 연구와 관련된 국내외 연구동향과 함께, 국가연구개발사업으로 추진중인 초고속 자기부상철도 핵심기술개발사업에 대해 살펴보았다. 또한, 미래기술로 각광을 받고 있는 튜브트레인 기술에 대해서도 알아보았다.

The aerodynamic drag of ultra high-speed train in evacuated tube have been calculated using computational fluid dynamics and the variation of aerodynamic drag for the change of major system parameter of tube-vehicle system such as the train speed, air density, and the tunnel diameter. The aerodynamic drag in the tube increases with increasing train speed, however, the ratio of drag increase in tube is larger than that on the open field, the V square rule. The aerodynamic drag decreases with increasing tunnel diameter and increasing air density, and the drag increasing for air density is almost linear just like that on open field. For some combination of the parameters, the trend of aerodynamic drag of train showed irregularity.

For the train positioning system currently applied in high-speed MAGLEV train systems, it is classified into absolute positioning systems which discontinuously detect train positions, and relative positioning systems which continuously detect train positions. In this paper we analyze the configuration model and the numerical model of the absolute positioning system applied in TRANSRAPID which is a representative high-speed MAGLEV train, and design the two configuration models specific to the recognition structures of absolute positioning systems. We also verify the compatibility of the design models of absolute positioning system through simulation using MATLAB and propose the optimal configuration model of absolute positioning systems for high-speed MAGLEV train system.

In this paper, a concept design of a rail type ultra-high-speed train is proposed and its dynamic characteristics are analyzed. Instead of the existing solid axle, a new type bogie system and independently rotating wheels are applied in the proposed train. In order to analyze the dynamic characteristics, a multibody dynamic model of a vehicle is developed and the basic validity is verified by eigenvalue analysis. Also, it is shown that the critical speed is improved in comparison to that of existing high-speed train model HEMU-430X. Finally, through 7000R curved track driving analysis at a speed of 550 km/h, the lateral force of the wheels and the derailment quotient are estimated and the applicability of the new concept railway vehicle is confirmed.

자기부상열차는 자기력에 의해 차량이 부상되어 전용선로를 따라 비접촉으로 운행되는 철도운송시스템이다. 자기부상열차에서는 열차가 운영 선로위에 부상되어 비접촉으로 운행되기 때문에 일반 철도시스템에서 적용되고 있는 측위기술의 적용이 어렵다. 따라서 자기부상열차에는 다양한 측위기술들이 개발되어 적용 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 자기부상열차에 적용중인 다양한 측위기술 및 측위장치에 대하여 검토하고, 독자적인 초고속자기부상열차 개발시 필요한 열차위치검지기술의 개발방향을 제시한다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the dynamic characteristics of low, medium and high speed Maglev trains and guideways through dynamic interaction analysis. The coupled dynamic equations of motion for a vehicle of 10-dof and the associated guideway girders are developed by superposing vibration modes of the girder itself. The controller used in the UTM-01 Maglev vehicle is adopted to control the air gap between the bogie and guideway in this study. The effect of roughness, the guideway deflection-ratio and vehicle speed on the dynamic response of the maglev vehicle and guideway are then investigated using the 4th Runge-Kutta method. From the numerical simulation, it is found that the air gap increases with an increase of vehicle speed and the roughness condition. In particular, the dynamic magnification factor of the guideway girder is small at low and medium speeds, but the factor is noticeable at super-high speeds.

This study is devoted to understand the basic characteristics of the flowfield around a train in evacuated tube and to suggest an efficient numerical method to calculate the flowfield. To get steady-state solution in minimum calculation domain, various boundary condition have been tried for steady calculation and have been compared to the solution of unsteady calculation. At the train velocity of 300km/h, the aerodynamic drag results of both calculation method agreed very well. The drag ratio between on the open filed and in the tube from the calculation result by the suggested numerical method lied in the same fitting curve with that from the filed test of high-speed trains running in the line.

A very long test track is required for high-speed operation test of the real-scale Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) for ultra-high-speed trains. The required length results in huge construction cost and economic loss if any error occurs during development. Therefore, validation study of the LSM design technology using a low-cost small-scale model must be carried out in the early research stages. It is possible to deduce an optimal winding method for the armature and determine the mechanical properties of the LSM through a performance tester that applies a rotary-type small-scale LSM model. In addition, it is possible to utilize previous research on LSM control systems. Therefore, a basic design model, comprising a rotary-type LSM tester that meets the requirements for the propulsion of 600km/h-class ultra-high-speed trains, is derived in this study. Finally, an optimal model, which has a stable structure under the condition of 1500rpm or more high-speed rotation, is derived by electromagnetic and mechanical stiffness analysis.

본 연구에서는 초고속 자기부상열차의 단면도를 통하여 2-D형상을 모델링하고 이를 기반으로 항력과 유동 특성에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 유동의 마하수가 0.3 이상임을 고려하여 압축성 모델이 사용되었고, 난류모델은 Menter's k-w SST(Shear Stress Transport)모델을 적용시켰다. 2-D 해석과 자기부상열차의 특성상 열차가 공기중에서 주행하고 있는 것으로 가정하고 공력 특성을 해석하였다.
