This study was carried out on the upgrading of the noise barrier top device developed by 400km/h high speed railway infra research. By modifying the inner shape of the top device installed on noise barrier top, the performance of the first-stage top device was improved, and the weight was greatly reduced as compared with the first stage top device. In addition, the upper part was completed without an installation fixture by the integral method, and the construction was greatly improved. Finally, the upgraded top device was installed on the HONAM high speed railway site and its performance was verified.

In the case of railway bridges passing through the urban area, bridge type with excellent noise reduction performance is required. The bridges under development are steel composite through bridges, which is a composite structure of upper flanges with concrete, and the section bridges themselves, which surround the train, have the feature of acting as a sound barrier. In this paper, the performance test of air conduction noise is performed by the 20m full scale model test of new type steel composite through bridge.

In the case of steel railway bridges passing through the urban area, many civil complaints are being raised due to such a structure borne noise. A method of attaching a high-efficiency damping panel to a steel plate is proposed as a solution to the structure borne noise, but the behavior according to the exact adhesion rate is not shown. Therefore, in this paper, a basic study for applying a high efficiency damping panel to a steel railway bridges is to measure the mobility according to the adhesion rate of a high efficiency damping panel on a 1m × 1m steel plate.

In this study, will evaluate the performance of noise reduction devices for next generation high speed railway system of a train which has maximum speed over 400km/h. The core soundproof devices are the absorption block which reduces the reflection noise from concrete slab track and the interference device installed the top of noise barrier. Two types devices will be verified at 400km/h test section according to studied performance assessment at Hwang-san Kim-jae Chonbuk, Jeonbuk, Korea.

This study, for the development of next generation high speed railway system of a train which has maximum speed over 400km/h, is to develop core generic environmental technologies which are soundproof technology. Also this technology contains the emitting noise performance of high speed operated trains. The ultimate purpose of this study is to develop a new technology of core sound proof system which is more economical and efficient to cope with the noise increased about 7~9dB as the operating speed increased to 400km/h. In view of technology, this study is to the new soundproof shape design, noise absorbing material development, core soundproof facility development, noise reduction method which contains the aerodynamic characteristics of noise, the concrete bed track reflecting noise reduction, the specifications absorbing block of concrete bed and the installation and management of core soundproof system.
