Conventionally, to measure derailment coefficient of a railway wheel, strain gauges for lateral force measurement are attached to both side of the wheel. But narrow gap between railway wheel and traction motor makes it difficult to attache the strain gauges at the inner side of wheel. In this study, to overcome the hard accessibility to the strain gauge points by narrow gap, a new Wheatstone bridge connection method is presented by attaching all the strain gauges at the outer side of wheel with a new bridge connection. We evaluate the running safety of railway vehicles in accordance with railway safety regulations. The experimental results obtained shows higher sensitivity than conventional methods and the derailment coefficient measurement procedure becomes simpler.

Railway vehicles driven by wheels obtain force required for propulsion and braking by adhesive force between wheels and rails, this adhesive force is determined by multiplying adhesion coefficient of the friction surface by the applied axle load. Because the adhesion coefficient has a peak at certain slip velocity, it is important to determine the maximum values of the friction coefficient on the contact area. But this adhesive phenomenon is not clearly examined or analyzed. Thus we have developed new test procedure using the scaled adhesion test-bench for analyzing of the adhesion coefficient between wheel and rail. This adhesion test equipment is an experimental device that contacts mutually with twin disc which are equivalent to wheels and rails of railway vehicles.

Objectives: This study was aimed at finding out the current smoking situation of workers in the field of railroad electricity and vehicles and changes of their smoking behaviors after the raise of price of tobacco in 2015. Methods: With a self-administered questionnaire conducted from February 9 to March 6 2015, one-way ANOVA and crosstabs(PASW Statistics Ver. 18.0) were conducted on the data of 626 people. Results: As the result, the smoking rate was 39.1% and 90.5% of the smoking experienced group showed some changes including cutting down on smoking due to raise of price of tobacco. Factors related to smoking included stress, the number of times of drinking, awareness of harmfulness of smoking, the number of days with hard exercise per week and the marital status. Conclusion: Therefore, it is assumed that there is necessity of top-down intervention using these factors to cut down the smoking rate.

High speed switching action of PWM inverter is being further advanced for electric motor vehicles. Due to this high speed switching action, extensive high frequency electromagnetic noise emerges. Therefore counterm-easures against electromagnetic interference of electric motor vehicles become increasingly important. This paper describes the theory and countermeasure principle of EMI prevention and EMI test method for Korean Standard EMU.

At present. distance relay and ${\Delta}I$ current increment relay are used as primary and secondary protection in the AC feeder system. However. electric railway vehicles according to power electronic's development had developed resistance control, thyristor phase control and PWM control system. and operation of train is increasing in a feeder section. Therefore this paper analyzes the load characteristics and situation of relay's maloperation caused by load current increase, harmonics, regenerative braking current and operation of the different vehicles in same feeder section. Based on this analysis. this paper proposes consideration items for relay correction and advanced adaptive relay that can change operation area according to load current.

There is an increasing interest in research to help overcome the energy crisis that has been focused on energy storage applications in various parts of power systems. Energy storage systems are good at enhancing the reliability or improving the efficiency of a power system by creating a time gap between the generation and the consumption of power. As a contribution to the various applications of storage devices, this paper describes a novel algorithm that determines the power and storage capacity of selected energy storage devices in order to improve upon railroad system efficiency. The algorithm is also demonstrated by means of simulation studies for the Korean railroad lines now in service. A part of this novel algorithm includes the DC railroad powerflow algorithm that considers the mobility of railroad vehicles, which is necessary because the electric railroad system has a distinct distribution system where the location and power of vehicles are not fixed values. In order to derive a more accurate powerflow result, this algorithm has been designed to consider the rail voltage as well as the feeder voltage for calculating the vehicle voltage. By applying the resultant control scheme, the charging or discharging within a specific voltage boundary, energy savings and a substation voltage stabilization using storage devices are achieved at the same time.

New materials are being considered for insulator of railroad vehicles. Because people want more environmental material than glass fiber, there are certain needs of finding safe and economical insulating material. We checked the flammability of some kinds insulators such as PE foam, neoprene rubber foam. melamine foam and glass fiber. You could find out the characteristics such as oxygen index. optical smoke density, toxicity index of that insulators.

전기철도는 전차선을 통해 차량을 구동할 수 있는 전력을 공급하며, 공급된 전류는 선로 및 접지망을 통해 변전소로 귀환한다. 전기철도 구간에서 철도차량의 운행에 따라 사용된 부하전류는 귀환회로인 궤도를 통해 변전소로 유입한다. 철도차량에서 사용되고 있는 전력변환장치 때문에 부하전류에는 고조파가 함유되고 이러한 고조파 전류가 열차제어시스템에 영향을 주지 않아야 한다. 본 논문에서는 신규로 건설된 전기철도 구간에서 철도차량 운행에 따라 발생되는 고조파가 연동장치에 영향을 주는 지 확인하기 위하여 시험한 결과를 제시하고 있다. 신호기계실에 설치되는 연동장치에 철도차량 운행에 따라 고조파 영향이 있는 지 확인하기 위하여 본 논문에서의 시험은 철도차량이 운행되는 선로변 설비에서 연동장치로 연결되는 부분에서 수행되었다.
