The purpose of this study is to provision the standard method for ensuring the reliability of measuring indoor air quality in public transportation. The objective is to determine the difference in the measured concentration values according to various conditions. These variables include measurement conditions, measurement equipment, measurement points, and measurement time. The value differences are determined by measuring the PM10 and CO2 concentration of subways, and express buses and trains, which are targets of indoor air quality management. The concentration of CO2 was measured by the NDIR method and that of PM10 was measured by the gravimetric method and light-scattering method. Statistically, the results of the concentration comparison according to the measurement points of the public transportation modes were not significantly different (p > 0.05), and it is deemed that the concentration is not affected by the measurement points. In terms of the concentration analysis results according to the measurement method, there was a difference of the concentration between the gravimetric and light scattering method. In the case of the light scattering method, the concentration differed depending on whether it was corrected with standard particles in the laboratory environment.
In this paper, interior noise that is brought into inside of coach when it passes by straight line track, railway turnout section, curved track, and rail lubricator section with test coach was measured in accordance of track characteristic of urban railway vehicle. It was evaluated with 60km/h of constant speed in the motorized trailer, no.3 car T1 motorized trailer of urban railway vehicle. Interior noise characteristic value is higher in order of curve, rail lubricator, railway turnout, and straight track as a result of the test. The highest characteristic value is 86.7dB in the curved track. And, the lowest characteristics value is 75.5dB(A) in the straight track. For accurate result comparison, it is transformed into sound pressure distribution by time domain, sound pressure level by time domain, sound pressure level for frequency domain and completed analysis.
This paper presents a laboratory validation for a Finite Element model updating method using moving vehicle input-deflection output measurements. In conventional FE model updating, a few natural frequencies measured from field experiments have been used to update the FE model based on the assumption that the mass matrix is known accurately. The proposed approach can update the stiffness matrix without the assumption by using static input-output measurements and can even update the mass matrix by using a few natural frequencies obtained from dynamic measurements. Laboratory experiments were carried out for a scaled model of Samseung Bridge located in the test road of Korea Highway Corporation. For a simplicity of experiments, a mass (11kgf) was located in four different locations on the deck and two deflections were measured by laser displacement meters: one at the center girder, and the other in at the outer girder, both in mid-span. Results showed that the proposed methods was capable to estimate Young's Modulus and the mass density of the model bridge accurately while natural-frequency-based updating may result in significant error when higher modes (2nd, 3rd) were used.
