Characteristics of Pressure Fluctuation and internal noise level for Korean High Speed Train

한국형 고속열차의 최고속도에서 압력변동 하중과 실내소음 특성 분석

The Korean high speed train(KHST), developed since 1996, is presently undergoing commissioning tests on the high-speed track as well as on the conventional track since 2002. The purpose of the commissioning test is twofold: first to verify the performance of the train-set and equipments, and to demonstrate system reliability. Last December, KHST has reached the maximum speed of 350km/h and a number of data proving the performance of the train has been acquired. Among the data noise level and pressure variation in a cabin are important factors effecting passenger's comfort. Discussed in this paper are interior noise and pressure variation when the train passes tunnels during the 350km/h test.
