A Fuzzy Logic Controller(FLC) was developed for the autonomous operation of speedsprayer in an orchard. The autonomous operation with the FLC was graphically simulated under the real condition of the orchard. Image processing was used to find out the direction of running and four ultrasonic sensors were used to detect obstacles for the running. The simulation results showed that the speedsprayer could be operated autonomously with the FLC combined with the image processing and the ultrasonic sensors.

This Paper describes a characteristics of wheel wear of high speed train running on the conventional line. Conventional line has many curved tracks that cause severe wheel flange wear. The influences of lubrication, cant deficiency, owe radius on wheel wear are also described considering the operation performance of the highspeed trainset. A method of calculation using contact patch work model is presented far determination of the evolution by wear of railway wheels.

Recently, freight cars for diverse purposes were developed to increase the speed of freight car in conventional line. The welded type bogies are applied to these vehicles like container car, gondola car, hopper car, etc. This study was focused on the dynamic characteristics and the stability of freight car to guarantee the running safety. We have conducted the running tests of freight cars in conventional line and described the test results in this paper.

The electric locomotive make a development by using as a trial petition way on the basis of finding for several years in 1996 and the electric locomotive in KNR railway electrification section of AC25KV 60Hz, can couple with passenger train of 700 ton doing running possibility from evenness to maximum running speed 140Km/h, Specially, propulsion equipment operates three phase AC motor that behaves axle control by VVVF inverter and affords higher axle per tractive effort as behaving control by SIBAS32 that up-to-date technology is integrated. Also, new style electric locomotive is designed so that can run in -35∼45 climatic condition.

KTX (Korea Train eXpress) is the first high-speed train operated in Korea and its highest speed reaches 300 km/h. Korean high-speed trains are mostly operated on the railroads exclusively designed for high-speed trains, but the sections of Seoul~Gwangmyeong, nearby of Daejeon station and Dongdaegu are operated on the existing tracks having the speed less than 150 km/h. With this paper, we'd like to analyze the lateral force that occurs between the wheels and the rail when high-speed trains were operated on the existing track section to suggest an appropriate driving speed for high-speed trains. As the rigid wheel base of the high-speed train is 3m which is about 50% longer than normal vehicles, it works as an advantage for high-speed driving. However, as the lateral force becomes higher than normal vehicles when driving on curves, plans to reduce wear-outs on the wheels are required.

The BWIM(Bridge Weigh-In-Motion) is a technology to identify vehicle properties, such as weight, speed, axle spacing and running lane, passing over a bridge by using dynamic response of bridge member. Such information will be used for assessing durability and establishing a maintenance strategy of roadway structures. In this paper, as a first step for developing BWIM system, analytical and experimental studies were conducted in order to verify whether the response of vertical stiffener in steel girder bridge can be used to identify vehicle properties running on the bridge. It was known from this study that such vehicle information could be estimated reasonably by using strain time history curve of a vertical stiffener due to running vehicles. It is because the effect of each axle-load of vehicle appears definitely in the curve. However, as the magnitude of strain of vertical stiffener is effected by running pattern of vehicles, further study is necessary to reduce error when estimating vehicle weight.

A bogie is the device that connects a car body and wheel sets of a rail vehicle. It is the critical component that determine:; the running safety, The bogie consists of a frame, suspensions, brakes and wheel sets. Various analyses including a numerical simulation using a finite element method, a static load test, a fatigue test, ai)d r running test should be carried out to design the bogie. However cracks have been found at some end beams of the bogies mounted on the freight cars running with the high speed. The cracks of the end beam results in deterioration of the brake performance an the running safety, A new design has been suggested to solve this problem by ROTEM company and it's performance has been tested in this paper. Numerical simulations and dynamic tests are carried out to figure out the causes of cracks in the conventional bogie, and the vibrational characteristics of the improved bogie are compared with those of the conventional one.

A cylinder-type underwater vehicle for military use that is running near the free surface at the final homing stage to hit a surface ship target is affected by wave force and moment. Since wave can affect an underwater vehicle running at the depth less than half of the modal wave length, it is important to confirm that the underwater vehicle can work well in such a situation. In this paper, wave force and moment per unit wave amplitude depending on wave frequency, wave direction, and vehicle's running depth were calculated by 3-Dimensional panel method, and the numerical results were modeled in external force terms of six degrees of freedom equations of motion. Motion simulation of the underwater vehicle running in various speed, depth, and sea state were performed.

THE VIBRATION MODE OF RAILWAY VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO FIND OUT THE CHARACTERISTICS OF MOTION DURING THE OPERATION ON THE TRACK BECAUSE THESE HAPPEN TO INDEPENDENCE OR DUPLICATION MOTION CAUSED BY VEHICLE, WHEEL/RAIL INTERACTION, TRACK IRREGULARITY AND FAILURE OF THE SUSPENSION & POWER TRANSMISSION DEVICE ETC. IT IS NAMED AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION THAT THE VIBRATION, WHICH WAS PASSED THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SUSPENSION, IS AFFECTED TO THE PASSENGER OR DRIVER WITHOUT DAMPING. THIS PAPER DESCRIBES AN EXPERIENCE EVALUATION TO FIND OUT THE CAUSE OF AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION WHICH WAS HAPPEN AT THE CAB OF POWER CAR IN KTX-SANCHEON TRAINSET WHEN ON RUNNING AT HIGH SPEED ZONE.
