A Study on Manufacturing Techniques and Expected Effects for SR001

SR001 제작기법 및 기대효과에 관한 연구

As a public transit playing an important role in the era of high gas prices, subway corresponds the national strategy 'Low carbon, Green growth'; accordingly, passengers who would use the transportation are steadily increasing. Subway operators are required to provide subway users with services based on higher-quality system, safety, convenience & high reliability level. Furthermore, as the legally allowed maximum life time of EMUs is extended, it is necessary to localize & standardize the parts of EMUs. This paper presents a modelling of systematic EMU(SR001) manufacturing technique which enables us to reflect passenger and subway operator's demands in the whole EMU manufacturing process from the initial design phase to its completion by making full use of the know-how based on subway operators' experiences. SR001 enabled SMRT's staffs to participate in the EMU design & its equipment manufacturing; consequently, it realized the innovative system which meets passengers' requirements. Moreover, the process lead time was reduced dramatically. The result of this research will be helpful in providing useful guidelines for railway industry policy and development making in Korea.
