In this paper, the noise reduction performance of the active steering bogie, developed to address wheel and rail wear and reduce noise during train operation in curved sections, was evaluated. A prototype of the active steering bogie was installed on the test train, and noise reduction performance by active steering control was measured in curved sections of a commercial line with a radius of curve of 300 m or less. The results of the test run confirmed that both the wheel and car interior noise were reduced when active steering control was applied, compared with the case where it was not applied. According to the test results in the curved section with the most noise reduction effect, the equivalent noise level was reduced by 6.6 dB for wheels and 4.7 dB for the car body by active steering control. In addition, analyzing the frequency characteristics by wheel steering control has confirmed that the squeal noise mode generated in the 300 to 2000 Hz band during curve running was significantly reduced. Therefore, the noise reduction performance of the active steering bogie, developed to improve steering performance in curved sections, has been sufficiently verified through the test results.
