In railway vehicle, riding comfort depends mainly on the secondary lateral damper and track condition. When the damping force of lateral damper becomes abnormal condition or the track condition is worse, the running stability and ride comfort of the railway vehicles go down. In addition, the lateral motion of carbody is increased. Therefore, the lateral motion of carbody is reviewed carefully by considering lateral damping force and track condition of the railway line in design stage. In this study, the lateral displacement of carbody was studied in accordance with lateral damping force and track condition. The target vehicle is EMU for subway line.

도시 중심가를 오가는 전동차의 경우 도시 사이를 운행하는 일반 기존선과는 다른 소음 특성을 가진다. 가장 두드러진 특징으로는 일반 기존선은 주로 디젤기관(디젤전기기관차 포함)에서 얻어지는 추진력을 이용하여 운행되나 도시철도에 사용되는 전동차의 경우는 그 추진력을 공급된 전기에너지에 의해 그 추진력을 얻는 것이다. 따라서 주요한 소음원의 특성도 상이하며, 또한 개활지를 중심으로 운행되는 기존선 열차에 반해 도시 전동차는 주로 터널내부에서 운행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 도시 전동차의 소음원의 특성에 대해 측정 사례를 중심으로 나타내었다.

The Seoul Subway Line 4 crossing downtown diagonally constructed in February 1980 and opened on October 11, 1983. The line 4 is thus able to link southern and northern parts of Seoul with the downtown as well as with the Seoul outskirts. More than 810,000 people use it everyday. Line 4 was constructed like Line 1,2,3 with ballast track system causing much maintenance cost gradually and espicially much public discontent due to wheel and rail contact noise by railway viaduct with sharp curves. CWR on railway viaduct with sharp curves, 180m$\leq$R$\leq$300m, hasn't been designed and constructed ever in domestic. Therefore in order to reduce noise and vibration caused by interaction between wheel and rail the possibility and the methods of CWR(Continuous Welded Rail) on railway viaduct with sharp curve less than R300 will lead it to the maintenance free system.

최근 서울에서는 날로 심각해지는 교통난 해소대책으로 현재 운행중인 1-4 호선 외에 5-8호선의 공사가 한창 진행중이다. 이러한 지하철 통과 인접지역 에서는 지하철 운행 진동으로 인하여 상부나 인접 건물에 진동 영향이 우려 되는 경우가 많으며 이에 대한 대책으로 지하철 궤도부를 방진하거나 상부 의 건물을 지하철 구조체로부터 진동 절연하는 방법이 검토되고 있다. 이러 한 대책 수립시에는 대책후의 진동예측이 필요하며 지하철의 진동특성 입력 데이타 확보가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 필요성에 따라 서울의 2호 선 강남역과 교대역, 3호선 교대역 궤도부 주변 바닥과 벽체, 플랫폼, 표파는 층의 바닥에서 지하철 통과시의 전후, 좌우, 상하방향의 진동을 측정 분석하 여 추후 지하철 진동저감대책 수립에 기초자료로 제시하고자 한다.

Open-cut method has been widely used to construct underground structures, but it causes several problems such as traffic congestion and public resentment resulting from severe construction noise and ground settlement. In many cases, it is very difficult to build underground structures safely due to the unknown locations of buried facilities such as water pipes, drainage pipes, gas pipes and high-pressure cable conduits etc. Also in open-cut method, moving buried facilities causes additional cost and extension of construction period. Therefore, this paper is to present a case study in which Tubular Roof construction Method (T.R.c.M.), a newly developed construction method for underground structures using slab steel pipes and PC wall trench, is applied for the construction of a subway tunnel in Seoul. As a result, it is found that T.R.c.M. is a construction method by which tunnels can be constructed safely without any effect on the surrounding environment and traffic flow due to the minimized construction vibration and noise.

With recent progress of developing infrastructure, construction vibration from the sites and traffic vibration caused by high-speed rail, subway, and roads is becoming a hazardous factor for vibration environment. In order to predict the damages caused by the vibrations mentioned above the vibration sources, have to be distinguished between point vibration and line vibration. Once the character of the vibration source is determined vibration propagation phenomenon needs to be analyzed by using prediction formula, and compared to the limits authorized by the law. The main purpose of this thesis is to manage the efficient vibration by reflecting these finding in making a consrtuction plan. Therefore, Vibration Management System (VMS) was developed which can predict and analyze the extent of developed utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) to build a database. This database contains the attribute and the location information of the sources for predicting the formula of explosive vibration and subway traffic vibration, the buildings, the surrounding area and measurement sites. VMS will be useful in the future for predicting the vibrations caused by pile drive, traffic vibrations such as high speed electric railway, highway and roads, and other explosive vibrations by supplementing and updating the database.

In this study, unsteady wind pressure analyses on platform screen door (PSD) have been conducted considering the flow intereference effects between the moving train and the configuration of subway station. The major role of PSD prevents passenger accidents, wind pressure, polluted dust and noise when the train is entering the station platform. Computational fluid dynamic method with moving gird algorithm has been adopted to accurately predict unsteady pressure levels exerted on the PSD. Closed and open type station configuration are considered. Also, wind pressure levels for passing and stopping drive motion of the entering train are presented and practically compared each other.

The LRT(light rail transit) system, which has medium transport capacity between subway and bus is an advanced transportation system. It has many benefits like chap construction and operational cost down through driverless and flexible route planning. The rubber tired AGT(K-AGT) is a kind of LRT, which has rubber wheels and side guides. The side guides has many advantages, but brings vibration and noise problems from the friction between the guide rail and the wheels. This is the major source for the of passengers' discomfort. The purpose of this paper is to analyze dynamic characteries and running stability of the rubber tired AGT localization bogie if the AGT's speed is increased from 70 km/h to 80 km/h. The current design parameters of bogie suspension, as it is designed, was examined to satisfy the comfort index of the railway vehicle in performance test.

Ground-borne noise and vibration generated by underground transit system has been recognized as an important environmental problem. This study reviews several of the procedures that have been used to predict ground-borne vibration. The vibration responses are measured at three sites that have different soil qualities. The measured vibration levels are compared with the predicted results by previously used vibration level prediction models. There are some drawbacks to apply these prediction models to selected sites because most of the existing prediction models are primarily based on empirical data and all of them lack of analytical models for the mechanism of ground-borne vibration generation. radiation, and propagation. In this study a numerical method, which is based on explicit differential method, is used to compensate for the shortcomings of existing prediction models. Although numerically computed results are not quantitatively in good agreement with the measured results, the trends are comparable in the sense that vibration level does not decrease monotonically with distance. Also, the site with the deepest tunnel gives the highest vibration level.

To improve the acoustic performance of sound absorbing materials, the thickness of the material should be increased or the sound absorbing material having an irregular surface shape should be used. In this study, the acoustic characteristics and methods to improve the acoustic performance of a sound absorbing system equipped with double layered polyester sound absorbing materials were investigated. The numerical model was set up and the results obtained from the model were compared with the actual measurement data. And, strategies to improve the acoustic performance of sound absorbing systems with double layered sound absorbing materials made of polyester with different configuration were shown. So, this study is expected to be usefully used at sites that require high acoustic absorption performance with minimal installation thickness to reduce sounds reflection in narrow spaces such as interior of subway tunnels or in noise barriers installed adjacent to rails.
