DEVELOPMENT OF THE KOREAN STANDARDIZED CARBODY FOR THE RUBBER-TIRED LIGHT RAIL VEHICLE

초록

This study was aimed at developing the new carbody for the rubber-tired light rail vehicle, which put the Korean standardized specifications for urban rail vehicle to use design requirements and specifications (size, strength, structure, weight, and etc.). The carbody made of aluminum alloy was manufactured, and three static load tests were executed to evaluate its performances. All results of three tests showed the structural safety (allowable strength and stiffness) of the carbody.
