For each track,the acceleration response in the free field was obtained.The numerical results show that the influence of vibrations from underground trains on sensitive equipment depends on the track types.At frequencies above 10 Hz,the floating slab track with a natural frequency of 7 Hz can be effective to attenuate the vibrations.展开更多

Shin-gum-ho station (depth: 46 m) in Seoul is selected as a simulation model. The ventilation mode is assumed to be emergency state. Various main tunnel ventilations are applied to operate in a proper way for helping of smoke exhaustion in platform. The entire station is covered for simulation. Ventilation diffusers are modeled as 95 square shapes of 0.6 m × 0.6 m in the lobby and as 222 square shapes of 0.6 m × 0.6 m and four rectangular shapes of 1.2 m × 0.8 m in the platform. The total of 7.5 million grids is generated and whole domain is divided to 22 blocks for MPI (massage passing interface) efficiency of calculation. LES (large eddy simulation) is applied to solve the momentum equation. Smagorinsky model (Cs = 0.2) is used as SGS (subgrid scale) model. The distribution of CO (carbon monoxide) is calculated for various capacity of main tunnel ventilation and compared with each other.展开更多

NARX neural network is used to predict the model of the passenger flow parameters of the escalator waiting area based on the related gates' AFC data, then a probabilistic neural network model was established by using the AFC data and predicted passenger flow parameters as input and the passenger flow status in the escalator waiting area of subway station as output.The result shows the predicting model can predict the passenger flow status of the escalator waiting area better by the AFC data in the subway station. Research result can provide decision basis for the operation management of the subway station.展开更多
