Railway noise Is one of the main causes of environmental impact. Whenever a new railway line is planned or a housing project near an existing railway is proposed, an estimate of the relevant noise levels is usually required. For this, it is necessary to quantify those parameters that affect the railway noise. Therefore we investigated the noise level which 107 high speed trains generated passing through the block of test railway track between Chunan and Chungwon. This paper shows the status and characteristics of the high speed rallway noise and an accurate prediction of the high speed railway noise.

Recently, as the feasibility study shows that trans-Korea railway and trans-continental railway are advantageous, interest in high-speed railway system is increasing. Because railway vehicle is environment-friendly and safe compared with airplane and ship, its market-sharing increases gradually. KHST(Korean High Speed Train) has been developed by KRRI (Korea Railroad Research Institute) for last 6 years to satisfy the need. An electric railway system is composed of high-tech subsystems, among which main electric equipment such as transformers and converter are critical components determining the performance of rolling stock. We developed a measurement system for on-line test and evaluation of performances of KHST. The measurement system is composed of software part and hardware part. Perfect interface between multi-users is possible. A now method to measure temperature was applied to the measurement system. By using the system, fault diagnosis and performance evaluation of electric equipment in Korean High Speed Train was conducted during test running.

철도에 있어서 주행중인 열차와 지상간의 열차무선통신네트워크는 종래의 음성통화를 주축으로 하는 열차무선의 기능에 더하여, 차량상태 정보나 동영상 정보의 차량-지상간 양방향 전송을 비롯하여, 무선통신기반 열차제어시스템(CBTC : Communication Based Train Control System) 등에 확대 응용되면서 그 중요성은 점점 더 증가하고 있는 추세에 있다. 이에 따라, 향후 시스템의 발전에 따라 통화 채널의 증가, 데이터 통신 등을 가능하게 하는 새로운 시스템의 구축이 필요할 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 철도 연선에 있어서의 열차와 지상 무선통신기지 간의 효과적인 핸드오프기법에 대하여 검토를 수행하였다.

A refined three-dimensional finite element interaction model between the high-speed train and railway bride deck has been developed in the present study. Analytical predictions of vertical deflections for a railway bridge are compared with in-situ test results and a good agreement is achieved. Then, input variables employed in the analytical comparisons are selected as random variables for the limit state functions. followed by risk assessment. For this purpose, a linear adaptive weighted response surface method has been developed and applied. A typical railway bridge has been selected and the limit state functions are employed from UIC and Korean specifications in the comparative studies. The results reveal that Korean specifications give significantly risky reliability indices in comparison with UIC specifications. It is thus encouraged from the above that the present linear adaptive weighted response surface method can be an alternative for the fast estimation of nonlinear structural systems.
