철도차량의 전동소음(Rolling noise)을 줄이기 위해서는 차륜과 레일의 음향조도(Acoustic roughness)가 국제규격에서 규정하는 일정값 이하로 관리되어야 한다. 이러한 음향조도의 관리를 위해서 사용되는 측정장치는 접촉식 변위센서를 주로 사용하게 되는데, 주행 중인 장치에서는 센서가 고정된 플랫폼의 위치가 가변적이고 레일면과 구동륜의 접촉시에 프레임의 피칭(Pitching)운동에 의해서 측정값의 오차가 발생하는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 접촉식 변위센서를 통해 측정된 데이터의 정확도를 높이기 위해서, 플랫폼의 휠베이스, 바퀴의 개수 및 바퀴의 탄성접촉 등에 의한 레일표면 측정값의 변화와 스펙트럼 변화를 해석하였으며, 각 설계변수가 음향 스펙트럼에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

Damage often occurs on the surface of railway wheels due to wheel-rail contact fatigue. It should be removed before reaching wheel failure, because wheel failure can cause derailment with loss of life and property. The increase or decrease of the contact fatigue lift by the metal removal of the contact surface were investigated by many researchers, but they have not considered initial residual stress and traction force. The railway wheel has the initial residual stress formed during the manufacturing process, and the residual stress is changed by thermal stress induced by braking. The traction force and residual stress are operated on wheels of locomotive and electric motor vehicle. In this study, the effect of metal removal depth on the contact fatigue life for a railway wheel has been evaluated by applying lolling contact fatigue test. The effect of the traction force and metal removal on the contact fatigue life has been estimated by finite element analysis. It has been found that the initial residual stress determines the amount of metal removal depth if the traction coefficient is less than 0.15. If the traction coefficient is greater than 0.2, however, the amount of metal removal depth is independent on the intial residual stress.

The degradation of wheel tread may result in serious hazards in the railway operation system. Therefore, timely wheel defect diagnosis of in-service trains to avoid tragic events is of particular importance. The focus of this study is to develop a novel wheel defect detection approach based on the relevance vector machine (RVM) which enables online detection of potentially defective wheels with trackside monitoring data acquired under different running-speed conditions. With the dynamic strain responses collected by a trackside monitoring system, the cumulative Fourier amplitudes (CFA) characterizing the effect of individual wheels are extracted to formulate multiple probabilistic regression models (MPRMs) in terms of multi-kernel RVM, which accommodate both variables of vibration frequency and running speed. Compared with the general single-kernel RVM-based model, the proposed multi-kernel MPRM approach bears better local and global representation ability and generalization performance, which are prerequisite for reliable wheel defect detection by means of data acquired under different running-speed conditions. After formulating the MPRMs, we adopt a Bayesian null hypothesis indicator for wheel defect identification and quantification, and the proposed method is demonstrated by utilizing real-world monitoring data acquired by an FBG-based trackside monitoring system deployed on a high-speed trial railway. The results testify the validity of the proposed method for wheel defect detection under different running-speed conditions.

In general, railway system uses wheels so detecting speed by tachometer. However, LRT(Light Rail Transits) stands out recently as alternatives transportation, and besides of that Maglev trains are emerged as an alternative means of transportation. Maglev operates above certain heights caused inability of the measurement by tachometer which used to detect speed of wheels. Velocity Detection Signal Device of Train Control System applied in "Train Control System Project of Pilot Line Construction for Urban MAGLEV Train" which is prepared ahead of opening in 2013. This paper, therefore, explains the function and operation principal of Velocity Detection Signal Device, and suggests installation method of velocity detection loop installed around the track.

The presentation and development of LRT(light rail transit) is one of the effective solution to reduce the heavy traffic problems of urban area The metropolitan cities and operation companies of urban transit railway are driving to. construct the LRT system because of the advantage of construction cost and environmental serviceability. Up to now, the design criteria of structures for LRT is not established. Therefore, this paper presents the structural design criteria for LRT with rubber wheels. The proposed code provides a means of establishing minimum standards for acceptance of design and construction of LRT. In order to improve the proposed design criteria, some details will be tested and evaluated in test line.

A contact patch between the wheel and the rail supports the train body and a traction power comes from it when rolling stocks run on the railroad. Friction force between the wheel and rail makes the train move on the rail. Whenever the train runs on the rail, the wheels and rails wear down by frictions inevitably. So it must be shaped by the lathe or changed for the safety train operation and the comfortable ride. Until now, many measures were carried out in order to prevent a wear and tear of the wheels. For example loop line railway in Kun Ja depot and Ji Chuk depot. This document reports the wheel changing data taken by maintenances department for the period before and after 1996 in the 1.2.3.4 lines in Seoul metro.

현재 국내 철도차량에 사용되고 있는 주요 부품의 유지와 보수를 위한 검사장비는 대부분 외국으로부터 수입하여 사용하고 있다. 특히 차륜형상 측정장비 등과 같은 일부 검사장비는 외국의 장비를 벤치 마킹하여 제작한 국산화 장비를 설치하여 사용하고 있으나, 이들 국산화 장비는 신뢰성과 성능에 많은 문제점이 발생하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 철도차량 차륜의 유지 및 보수를 위한 차륜형상 측정장치의 정밀도와 신뢰도 향상을 위하여 최신의 고속 하이비젼 카메라 기술과 최적화된 영상처리 알고리즘을 적용하여 차륜형상 측정시스템을 개발하였다. 신뢰성 평가 실험결과 개발된 차륜형상 측정시스템의 신뢰도는 기존 시스템에 비하여 약 10.4%의 신뢰도 향상 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

철도 전동 소음은 철도에서 발생하는 대표적인 소음으로서 차륜과 레일의 음향 조도에 의해 유기된다. 철도 전동 소음의 주요 소음원으로는 침목, 레일 그리고 차륜을 들 수 있다. 따라서 철도의 전동 소음을 해석하기 위해서는 차륜의 진동 특성과 함께 궤도의 진동을 해석하고 그 특성을 이해하는 작업이 수행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 전동 소음의 관점에서 레일의 진동을 해석하기 위한 이론적 궤도 모델링에 대해 기술하고, 국내의 대표적인 세 가지 철도 궤도에 대해 진동 해석을 수행하였다. 해석에 사용한 궤도로는 기존선 자갈 도상 궤도, KTX 자갈 도상 궤도, KTX 콘크리트 궤도를 선정하였으며, 각 궤도 별로 레일을 따라 진행하는 파동의 전파 특성을 해석하고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 해석 시 궤도는 이산 지지를 가진 Timoshenko 보로 모델링하였으며, 레일의 평균 진동 속도를 이용해 세 궤도 레일의 방사 소음 특성을 간접 비교하였다.

The train travels on the track and, thus, the rear wheels precisely follow the paths of the front wheels. On the contrary, in the vehicles running on the road like automobiles, buses and trucks, the front wheels try to drag the rear ones toward them and across the inside of the curve. Off-tracking is defined as the radial offset between the path of the centerline of the front axle and the path of the centerline of the following axle. In the case of the bimodal tram with AWS(all wheel steering), the off-tracking decrease but the rear swing-out values increase because of the rear steering at the reverse phase angle. Thus, in order to determine the swept path width, maximum road width at the minimum turning radius, off-tracking and swing-out should be considered for the bimodal tram. In this paper, trajectory simulations were carried out for the various condition such as front steering, front and rear steering and suppression of swing-out to optimize the swept path width.

The rolling contact fatigue of wheels for high speed trains is a matter of increasing importance. The wheel damages from fatigue crack makes noise up and safety down. RCF-casued accidents cause traffic congestion and economical costs as well as personal injuries. In this study, we examine the rolling contact fatigue of wheels for power car running at 300km/h. Using the results of multi-body dynamic analysis and the proposed procedure of Ekberg, we calculate the fatigue index of surface-initiated fatigue, subsurface-initiated fatigue and fatigue initiated at deep material defects. As a result. the fatigue index shows us whether fatigue will appear and in which form. In addition, we present Shakedown map on surface-initiated fatigue.
