The Study of Tilting System Control of Korea Tilting Train

초록

Tilting trains are now an established feature of railway operations throughout the world. For intercity traffic, tilt provides operators with increasing speeds, and therefore enhanced competitiveness, on existing routes where insufficient traffic or a lack of funds precludes the construction of a dedicated new high-speed railway. Appling the tilting train, we can expect 30% of speed up on existing lines, but the stability of the electric current would be low because of tilting the train. Also, the spark between the catenary and pantagraph cause environmental problems such as noise, radio wave malfunction. Therefore, the tilting on pantagraph for the power suppling device is very essential for stable electric power supply. In the research, the electromechanical train tilting control system that uses gyroscope and acceleration sensor and the equipment configuration was studied. The train tilting is done through the swing movement of bogie bolster by the actuators and train tilting control system of the front and rear bogie. Therefore a configuration test was carried out to detect any problems in advance related to the interface before it is mounted on the train.
