In Korea, TCN has applied to the Korean High-speed Train (HSR350X) through G7 High-speed Train development project. TCN is the most suitable international standard communication network for distributed control systems that is adopted for high-speed of vehicle, safety and flexibility. TCN is the network exclusively for the high-speed train and electrical trains. This TCN satisfies the network standards. The network standards are real time communication, fault tolerance design, integrated data system, resistance of environment, automated recognition for modification of vehicle formation and maintenance. The purpose of this research is applying the development of WTB analyzer which is part of communication network system TCN, to check the communication of high-speed trains and electrical trains.

The Korean high speed train is designed to run at very high speed such as 350km/h. At this time, ballast in roadbed is dispersed by high speed air flow and this hits the substructure of the train. It becomes the factor of damaging the train. To investigate the main factor and possibility of ballast dispersion, the substructure flow is measured by Kiel-Probe Array System at G7 train experiment. And the wind tunnel experiment is performed with ballast in our research. Also CFD analysis is performed by assuming that the flow field is 2D and using simple shaped cross-tie and flat substructure of the train. By comparing the experimental results and CFD analysis, the accuracy of the analysis is checked. They will become the basic research data for the analysis and optimization of train substructure to prevent the ballast dispersion.

A high speed train named Korean High Speed Train (KHST) with its maximum operating speed 350 km/h is now under development. For the successful design of a quiet and comfortable high speed train, it is important to understand the general features of the noise and vibration characteristics of high speed train. This paper reviews extensively collected materials on the noise and vibration characteristics of existing high speed trains. Based on the noise and vibration characteristics of TGV systems, a simple indoor-noise prediction rule is proposed for the TGV-type high speed trains such as KHST The indoor-noise of KHST at 350km/h is expected to be larger than at least 71 dBA. Some important researches conducted for designing KHST during last two years under the G-7 project are also briefly introduced at the last part of this paper.

The Korean rolling stock safety regulation stipulates that the collision deceleration of a car body should be maintained under average 5g and maximum 7.5g during train collisions. One-dimensional dynamic model of a full rake train, which is made up of nonlinear springs/bars-dampers-masses, is often used to estimate the collision decelerations of car bodies in a basic design stage. By the way, the previous studies have often used some average force-deformation curve for energy absorbing structures in rolling stock. Through this study, we intended to analyse how much the collision deceleration levels are influenced by the initial peak force modeling in the one-dimensional force-deformation curve. The numerical results of the one-dimensional dynamic model for the Korean High-Speed Train show that the initial peak force modeling gives significant effect on the collision deceleration levels. Therefore the peak force modeling of the force-deformation curve should be considered in one-dimensional dynamic model of a full rake train to evaluate the article 16 of the domestic rolling stock safety regulations.

A train performance simulation (TPS) software is a computer program that simulates the operation of a train system over a specified railway route and it is widely used in railroad operation and research applications. Numerical and graphical results from the simulation software, which is developed in this study, provide information on such performance variables as travel time. running speed, energy consumption at a specific time interval and in overall service time as the train moves along the route. Three types of input data are required for a computer simulation: track information, train information, and running conditions. The simulation of train performance starts with several simple mathematical models including train configuration. traction efforts, running resistance. and braking requirements. Based on the basic specifications of Korean High Speed Railway, System. this study, puts a focus on the estimation and assessment of train performance comparing. the specific train configurations of KEST20/11. CPLE20/10. PROP20/10, which are proposed from the previous G7 projects.

The experiments for aerodynamic characteristics of railway acoustic screen are performed using 1/61 scaled-down moving model rig facility which employs an axis symmetry and one wire guidance method. The launching mechanism is an air-gun type. The train model for the experiment is the high speed train (Korea Train Express: KTX) and the tested speed is about 300 km/h. The tested train length is 61 em which is corresponding to two units of KTX train. The cross sectional area and weight of train model are 0.00264 $m^2$ and 287 g, respectively. The Reynolds number based on the model train length is $1.2{\times}10^7$. The strength of pressure wave is measured using piezo typed pressure sensor. The measured pick value of pressure was as high as 365 Pa in the shortest gap between the acoustic screen and model train. The measured pressure is well compared with the field test data of mc 779-1 [2] values. However, the experimental data were slightly lower than the mc 779-1 values. The results show the model test can be used as a substitute for the field test.

In Korea, high-speed train(HEMU-400X) system with distributed power is being developed, and the highest test speed of this train is 400km/h. This developed the first high-speed train as a distributed power train in Korea, as well as for the development of train system and evaluation system included evaluation technology is needed. Accordingly, a comprehensive and efficient OMS(Overall Measurement System) was build up for verifying the performance of HEMU-400X. By the case study of the G7 and TTX, OMS of HEMU-400X was improved the test performance and maintainability. In particular, the existing Window-based systems has a limit to the control, due to this reason OMS applying enhanced RT(Real-time) system. In this study, compare the advantages and disadvantages of RT systems with Window-based systems, as well as the configuration of the RT systems.

The pantograph for Korean High Speed Train was developed and had been evaluating by through 'G7-R&D project' for home grown high speed train technology. In this paper, from the point of view in mechanical aspect, comparison study on the current collection characteristics between the KHST pantograph and contact wire in catenary system on the High-Speed Line and Ho-Nam/Kyoung-Bu conventional lines is conducted. A measuring system for the performance and mechanical characteristics of the KHST pantograph is used for this study, which was developed and installed on the Proto-type Korean High Speed Train, and physical characteristics were measured while the KHST runs on the High-Speed Line and conventional lines. Through this study, remarkable variations of characteristics which can affect to a current collection quality of high-speed train are found and analyzed from measured mean contact forces in both tracks.
