It is being accelerated to develop environment-friendly vehicles to solve problems on the energy and environment of earth. The electric driving motor commonly installed in these vehicles has the excellent control capability such as fast response and accurate generation to torque control command. Especially, in-wheel motor has the additional merit such as independently driving each wheel in vehicle. Recently, being developed various control algorithm to enhance the safety and stability of vehicle motion using actively the merits of in-wheel motor. In addition to that, being issued the possibility of enhancing the ride comfort and attitude of vehicle motion such as pitching and rolling. In this paper, investigate the theoretical relationship between the braking/driving force and the motion of sprung mass of vehicle and propose the control method to enhance the ride comfort and attitude of vehicle motion. The proposed control method is proved through the simulation with vehicle model provided by TruckSim software which is commercial one and specializes in vehicle dynamics.

궤도틀림은 철도차량의 주행거동에 영향을 미치는 중요인자 중 하나이다. 따라서, 적정한 승차감 및 주행안전성 확보를 위해서는 궤도틀림과 차량거동과의 상관관계를 규명하고 적정한 궤도틀림 관리방안을 마련하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 궤도틀림 중 경부고속선에서 궤도정정작업 중에서 가장 많은 보수 비중을 차지하고 있는 고저틀림과 KTX 주행거동과의 상관관계를 조사하고자 고저틀림의 파장과 진폭을 매개변수로 차량주행해석을 수행하였다. 탈선계수, 횡압, 대차 횡가속도, 차체 연직 및 횡가속도 등의 KTX 차량거동에 대한 수치해석 결과분석을 통하여 고저틀림의 진폭 및 파장이 KTX 차량의 주행거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

This paper presents an experimental study on constructing a tunable secondary suspension for high-speed trains using magneto-rheological fluid dampers (referred to as MR dampers hereafter), in the interest of improving lateral ride comfort. Two types of MR dampers (type-A and type-B) with different control ranges are designed and fabricated. The developed dampers are incorporated into a secondary suspension of a full-scale high-speed train carriage for rolling-vibration tests. The integrated rail vehicle runs at a series of speeds from 40 to 380 km/h and with different current inputs to the MR dampers. The dynamic performance of the two suspension systems and the ride comfort rating of the rail vehicle are evaluated using the accelerations measured during the tests. In this way, the effectiveness of the developed MR dampers for attenuating vibration is assessed. The type-A MR dampers function like a stiffness component, rather than an energy dissipative device, during the tests with different running speeds. While, the type-B MR dampers exhibit significant damping and high current input to the dampers may adversely affect the ride comfort. As part of an ongoing investigation on devising an effective MR secondary suspension for lateral vibration suppression, this preliminary study provides an insight into dynamic behavior of high-speed train secondary suspensions and unique full-scale experimental data for optimal design of MR dampers suitable for high-speed rail applications.

고속철도 개발에 있어 승차감은 차량의 품질을 결정하는 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 고속철도 차량의 강체 및 유연체 모델 각각에 대해 속도증가에 따른 고속철도 차량의 승차감을 평가하였다. 가진원은 휠/레일 불균일에 의한 상하 진동만을 고려하였다. 속도 증가에 따른 차체의 진동을 계산하기 위해 강체 및 유연체 모델의 고유진동수와 모드형상을 계산하였다. 복잡한 형상의 압출재로 구성된 차체를 유연체로 모델링하기 위해 등가 물성치를 산출하여 등가 쉘로 모델링하였다. 계산된 차량의 진동으로 승차감을 평가한 결과, 강체 모델로 예측된 고속철도의 승차감은 고속에서 오히려 좋아지는 불합리한 결과가 도출 되었다. 반면 차량의 유연체 모드까지 고려하여 평가한 고속철도의 승차감은 속도 증가에 따라 승차감이 나빠지는 당연한 결과를 보여 주었다. 따라서 고속에서의 철도차량 개발은 차체의 유연체 특성을 고려해야함을 확인하였다.

철도 교통은 다른 교통수단에 비해 승객과 화물을 많이 수송할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 안전성, 정시성(定時性) 및 환경 친화성 등의 장점을 갖고 있다. 철도를 다른 교통수단과의 경쟁력을 강화시키기 위해서는 열차의 속도 및 여객수송의 품질 향상 등이 필요하다. 특히, 승객이 여객수송의 품질에 대해 최종적으로 평가한다는 점을 감안할 때 승차감을 일정한 수준이상으로 향상시키는 것이 필수적이다. 일반적으로 철도차량에 대한 승차감은 차량의 진동 가속도를 측정한 후 인간의 등가 감응량으로 정량화시켜 평가하는 방법을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 UIC 513R 규격에 따라 측정된 한국형 고속열차의 승차감 지수를 t-검정, 분산분석(ANOVA), 회귀분석 등과 같은 추리통계적인 방법론을 적용하여 분석 및 평가하고자 한다.

The aim of the study is to develope an objective index for the evaluation of vehicle ride comfort using the measured vehicle accelerations. The equation of the index was derived from the correlation analysis of subjective ratings on selected vehicles and the reduced measure of the vehicle motions. First whole procedure of from the measurements to the calculation of the perceptual vibration was developed. Test condition of both the vehicle speed and the road condition was selected so as to maximize the reliability of the index. This paper suggested the equation of the objective ride index on vibration harshness, of which expected error is about 0.3 in 10 scale of subjective rating at 95％ of the significance level.

Vibrations on the floor in a car are transmitted to the foot, hip, and back from the seat. Human body recognizes these vibrations, but the sensitivity for each vibration is different. To evaluate these vibrations, RMS(root mean square) of accelerations, VDV(vibration does value) are commonly used. The ride comfort evaluation is usually carried out by experiments of real cars which are expensive. The purpose of this paper is to briefly review the status of several ride vibration standards and criteria having relevance to construction machinery vehicles and to suggest recommendations for the effective use of such criteria in vehicle / component development.

The Purpose of this paper is to characteristics and analysis of ride comfort by using HRV. Although the riding comfort of trains has been managed by setting allowable accelerations of 3-axis motion in cabins, it is impossible for this approach to express the psychophysical relationship between various vibrational factors and riding comfort. in order to propose a function to evaluate the riding comfort of train on conventional railroad, an experiment was performed with the Korea Tilting Tran eXpress(TTX). As a result, by referring to some international standards on the method of evaluating ride comfort, a modified method was proposed to evaluate the lateral vibration in addition to the roll motion on carve transitions.

In this paper, an optimal suspension system with preview of the road input is synthesized for a half tracked vehicle. The main goal of this research is to improve the ride comfort characteristics of a fast moving tracked vehicle in order to maintain the driver's driving capability. Several different kinds of preview control algorithms are evaluated with active or semi-active suspension systems. The road information estimated from the motion of the 1st road-wheel is adequate to make the best use of the preview control algorithm for tracked vehicles. The ride-comfort characteristics of the tracked vehicle are more dependent on pitching angular acceleration than heaving acceleration. The pitching motion is reduced by the suspension system with hard outer suspensions and soft inner suspensions. Simulation results show that the performance of sky-hook algorithms for ride comfort nearly follow that of full state feedback algorithms.
