본 논문에서는 횡압으로 곡선추종성을 판단하였고, 주행안전성은 윤중감소율 및 윤중과 횡압의 비율인 탈선계수로 평가하였다. 고출력 신형 전기기관차의 곡선추종성 및 주행안전성 평가한 결과, 탈선계수는 시험축이 열차의 앞쪽에 위치할 때가 뒤쪽에 위치할 때보다 크게 나타났으며, 탈선계수의 최대값은 경부선 상행선에서 0.572로 나타났다. 횡압은 곡선 선로가 많은 구간에서 크게 발생하여 주행속도보다는 곡선반경에 비례하는 것으로 나타났으며, 최대 축당 횡압은 태백선에서 77.6 kN 까지 발생하였다. 윤중감소율은 영동선에서 47.6 %까지 발생하였다. 최고속도에서의 주행안전성과 최소곡선반경에서의 곡선통과성능이 요구하는 기준을 만족하였다.
In this study, curve responsiveness was assessed based on the lateral force and running safety was evaluated based on the wheel unloading ratio and derailment coefficient, which is the ratio of the wheel load and the lateral force. The evaluation of the curving performance and running safety of the new high-power electric locomotive showed that the derailment coefficient appeared higher when the wheel-set was set to the front of the train instead of being placed backward, and the maximum value of the derailment coefficient was recorded as 0.572 on the Gyeongbu line. Furthermore, the lateral force increased in curved sections, and it appeared to be proportional to the curve radius. Meanwhile, a maximum axis lateral force of 77.6 kN was recorded on the Taebaek line, and the wheel unloading ratio was 47.6% on the Yeongdong line. Finally, the running safety at the maximum speed as well as the through-curve performance of the curve radius satisfied the required standards.
