This paper presents recent development of (semi)-active steering bogies for railway vehicles and introduce the state-of-art of related technologies. Steering bogies have been studied in various researchers since they can offer high ride quality for passengers and reduce the maintenance costs of wheel and rail wear. Especially, they are considered to be a fundamental solution to dramatically reduce the squeal noise on tight curves. However, passive steering bogies such as self-steering bogies and forced steering bogies have shown their limits to cope with the various running conditions. Therefore, (Semi)-active steering bogies have been studied to overcome the drawbacks of the passive steering bogies. As a result, an active steering bogie, so called mechatronic bogie, is developed successfully in Europe and it has shown remarkable performance in test line.

This research has been performed to reveal the hysteresis phenomena of the hunting motion in a railway passenger cars. It is found that there are some factors and its operation region to make the nonlinear critical speed reacts to them more sensitively than the linear critical speed. The simulation results show that a self steering bogie system can be a substitute proposal to improve curving Performance together with the reduction of hysteresis of critical speed. Full scale roller rig test is carried out for the validation of the numerical results. Finally, it is certified that wear of wheel profile and stiffness discontinuities of wheelset suspension caused by deterioration have to be considered in the analysis to predict the hysteresis of critical speed precisely.

Tilting train can pass curve at higher speed without affecting passenger comfort by tilting Carbody. But the centrifugal force proportional to square of velocity increases the track lateral force. This is the one of the problems to be solved when applying tilting train. The one countermeasure we selected the light weight design by applying distributed traction EMU system and light weight materials such as FRP. The other countermeasure was to adopt steering bogie concept in order to reduce the guiding force on Curve track. This paper describes the design study of self steering mechanism applied to the Bogie for 180 km/h Korean Tilting Train(TTX), which was done as a part of the Korean National R&D project.

The critical speed above which the vehicle become unstable is one of the items that should be verified in the development of a new train. In the case of a high speed tilting train, which requires both higher critical speed and higher curving speed, the critical speed should be more carefully treated because the both requirements are in conflict with each other in the conventional train design. The main purpose of the present work is to estimate the linear and non-linear critical speeds of 200km/h Korean Tilting Train 'Hanbit200' under development. The newly developed self-steering mechanism was attached to the tilting train to ensure that the critical speed falls under the lower yaw stiffness which is needed to secure higher curving performance. The simulation for predicting the critical speed was done by a commercially available vehicle dynamics software. A full scale roller rig test was carried out to validate the numerical results and to verify the effectiveness of the self-steering mechanism.

In this paper, we describe the analysis of interior noise for tilting train that is being developed in Korea. Tilting train is made of composite material to reduce the car body's weight and attached a self-steering system on bogie to improve curving performance. However, the acoustic performance (Transmission Loss) of such material is worse than the materials of conventional train, such as aluminum, steel and so on. Therefore, we measure the transmission loss of side wall / floor of tiling train and predict the interior noise for tilting train using its measuring results

Kyung-p-1 main line is characterized by its curves radii of which are considerably small. It is essential for running time reduction of train to improve capabilities of curve negotiation. This improvement can be achieved by designing a bogie with flexible suspension system. The effect of the improvement is mainly concerned in the primary yaw stiffness of bogie suspension. This paper gives a linear analysis for the motion of railway vehicle on curved track and gives also computer simulation results for Semaul Train. The results introduce a conclusion that the primary yaw stiffness of Semaul train is too rigid to be self-steering on Kyung-pu main line curves.

The AUTS(Advanced Urban Transit System) are developed by government R&D business. This units are under main line performance test in Daebul test line. Both AC and DC could apply to the AUTS for pantagraph voltage. So main transformer and some high voltage filters are added to the under-frame. As a result the total weight of each car(Mc1-Tp1-M-T-Tp2-Mc2) is different. And axle load is different each other. The main characteristics of AUTS(Advanced Urban Transit System) are as follows. One inverter control one motor, DDM(Dircet Drive Motor), no driving gear, plug no end door, self-steering bogie etc. These matters could be appeared to strange vibration. So vibration test is important. The vibration test performed to Mc1 and Tp1. The results were checked to the up-down direction and left-right direction for acceleration.
