Numerical simulation is conducted to clarify the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of HVAC(Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning} for double-deck train. The HVAC system is installed under the roof of carbody. In the lay-out of HVAC system, air duct must be installed to supply air to 1st and 2nd floor respectively. The standard k-epsilon turbulent models and SIMPLEC algorithm based on finite volume method are used to solve the physical HVAC model. To assure convergence, QUICK scheme for momentum equation and the first order upwind scheme for turbulent equations are used. From the results of simulation, the temperature and velocity magnitude are also distributed uniformly in the interior of passenger car.

Korea Railroad Research Institute(KRRI) have been developing Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX) with the service speed of 180km/h as the R&D project supporting by Korea government. The core of research is the development of the tilting bogie using the domestic tilting technologies. We developed the 3D-CAD prototype of tiling bogie model. In this paper we attempted to evaluate the structural strength of bogie frame using the Finite Element Method. Finally, we . would like to propose the application of the modifying part to the detail design.

The national subway went under construction in 1971, and after three years of endeavor, Seoul subway line number one opened for traffic in 1974. Line number two went under construction in 1978 and it opened for traffic in 1984. With the use of safety operation for more than 20 years, the life cycle nearly came to an end. Therefore the improvements for the safety operation are unavoidable. The total system should not be affected when the new and conventional systems are overlapped, the system operation is in the initial stage, and it confronts the situation of abnormal operation. However, there is a total lack of experience in construction and improvement for the trains that are in the use of large transport and density headway. In this paper, we propose an improvement method of the subway signalling system using ATO (Automatic Train Operation control scheme) to which the latest Digital ATC is applied, and examine the first application model of ATO system.

In the present study, the influence of car body structures to the noise and vibration characteristics has been sought. The numerical modal analysis for the body-in-white is employed to predict the vibratory response of structure, and then followed by the experimental modal testing to confirm the validity of the model. Using the results of numerical simulations with the designated modal parameters, the optimal structural configuration has been deduced. Special interests have been paid to the sensitivity of sound quality to the structural integrity. Since the structural integrity has a close relationship to the structure-born noise, the substantially low frequency range, which is far below the frequency range almost barely sensible by human auditory organ but still quite influential to overall impression, is especially examined. The subjective assessment agrees with the objective evaluation by means of traditional sound measures as well as psychoacoustic metrics.

The rail, which supports the train road, distributes the wheel loads to the tie by rail stiffness. Subway sleeper on concrete ballast is construction of PC or RC sleeper. The present, PC sleeper is constructed of line 1, 2, 3, 4 Seoul Subway and RC sleeper is planing construction for the STEDEF system on concrete ballast of the line 5, Seoul, Taegu, and Kwangju Subway. The major purpose of this study is to check influence of the angle with analysising the behavior of sleeper according to the existent or non-existent of angle. And the study is carried to check static analysis by manufacture of same model.

기존 국내의 간선 철도와 도시철도에서는 궤도회로에 기반한 고정폐색방식에 의한 열차제어시스템을 사용하고 있으나, 세계적인 추세가 유지보수 비용을 줄이고 선로 용량을 증가시킬 수 있는 무선통신을 이용한 이동폐색방식에 의한 새로운 통신기반 열차 제어 시스템(CBTC(Communication Based Train Control) system)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 특히 도시철도의 경우 이에 대한 실용화가 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 현재 국내에서도 한국철도공사에서는 분당선 구간에 CBTC 시스템의 시범적응을 진행하고 있으며, 또한 한국철도기술연구원에서도 건설교통부가 추진하고 있는 도시철도 표준화 사업의 한 분야로 도시철도 신호시스템에 대한 향후의 표준화 방향을 CBTC 시스템으로 선정하고, 이에 대한 표준화 및 국산화 연구개발이 진행되고 있다. 또한 유럽에서 진행되고 있는 ERTMS/ETCS 시스템의 레벨 2와 3에서는 앞의 방식하고는 다른 GSM-R의 무선방식을 사용하고 있지만 이 또한 무선통신에 의한 열차제어시스템을 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 무선통신을 이용한 열차제어시스템에 있어서의 안전제동모델에 대해 연구하였으며 그 결과를 소개하고자 한다.

This paper presents results from a wind tunnel study that examined the drag coefficient and wind flow over an asymmetric wave train immersed in turbulent boundary layer flow. The modeled wavy surface consisted of eight replicas of a statistically-valid hurricane-generated wave, located near the coast in the shoaling wave region. For an aerodynamically rough model surface, the air flow remained attached and a pronounced speed-up region was evident over the wave crest. A wavelength-averaged drag coefficient was determined using the wind profile method, common to both field and laboratory settings. It was found that the drag coefficient was approximately 50% higher than values obtained in deep water hurricane conditions. This study suggests that nearshore wave drag is markedly higher than over deep water waves of similar size, and provides the groundwork for assessing the impact of nearshore wave conditions on storm surge modeling and coastal wind engineering.

An automatic train operation(ATO) system executes the operation of constant speed travelling and fixed point parking by using microprocessors instead of drivers manual operation. This paper describes the mathematical model for the train considering unknown disturbances which consist of start resistance, travelling resistance, slope resistance, curve resistance, and so on. The speed controller of ATO system is designed by considering the disturbances. The simulation is executed to verify the speed control and fixed point parking performance and to compare its performance with that of a PID-type ATO control system under disturbances. Simulation results show that the control performance of gain scheduled control scheme fur ATO system is better than that of the conventional PID controller.

This paper describes design and characteristic analysis of long primary type linear synchronous motor (LSM) for high speed train system. LSM is designed using loading distribution method and magnetic equivalent circuit. For characteristic analysis of LSM, analytical and numerical methods are applied. Analytical method for solving the magnetic field distribution of the analytic model is based on the Maxwell’s equations. Using the characteristic equation and magnetic equivalent circuit, we analyze the effect of variation of parameters, and then we validate the result by comparing with numerical method by finite element method (FEM). We compare the analytical method with numerical method for analyzing the effect by variable parameters. This result will be useful of design and forecast of performance without FEM.

I accomplished a curve section traveling safety assessment analysis followed with railway condition for elevation of a curve passage speed of train utilizing trail analysis model. As a result, we confirmed that excess cant influence in badly traveling safety of train followed with cant change and cant shortage influence in badly traveling safety in case of large a curve radius and traveling safety of originally a curve section is most wrong. Also we confirmed that shortage of relief a curve length influence in badly traveling safety followed with change of relief a curve length.
