What benefit items from railroad investment are evaluated, and how those items are quantified have profound impacts on the feasibility of the proposed investments. They also have implications on the projects priorities, not to mention on intermodal comparison between highway and railroad. Evaluation procedures currently being utilized in Korea show limits in fully evaluating railroads' investment impacts. Economic and practical implications are evaluated for including revenues for railroad investment. Based on the critical evaluation of procedures in other countries, and based on the analysis of Korea's national transportation goals, new and improved benefit items are redefined and quantification guidelines are proposed.

In this paper, we'll change a data generated by the project for a database and make the better interface of all laboratory and a participating enterprise, constructing a knowledge-based management system to fit a characteristics within a country. Also, we'll manage the light-rail transit system development efficiently and systematically, constructing the web-based knowledge information system.

This primary study describes some proposition of restoration and rehabilitation of rail station and station impact area for efficient use. Therefore, I reviewed the functions and roles about rail station and other railway facilities related with urban structures and development, and also analysed the case studies about realignment of rail station, and then, suggested primary management plan of efficient railway installation. This study has some bounds and limits owing to the descriptive reviews but not detailed analyses. Hereafter, I am planing to consider the management plan for efficient railway installation use as coinciding with specific city characteristic and comprehensive plan such as rearrangements of the station.

In Korea, the modification of working conditions of the train crews, with the launch of the KTX, demands a new set of regulations. The analysis on the french case will be a first step, in spite of socio-economical differences between Korea and France, in making new rules for the train crews of the KTX.

최근에 남북철도를 통한 대륙철도의 움직임이 우리들에게 비상한 관심과 함께 실질적인 동북아의 물류거점으로서의 우리의 역할이 급부상하고 있다. 그간 제4차국토종합개발계획과 국가기간교통망계획등에서 한반도의 물류중 심지구상이나 X축의 고속철도망등이 현실적인 과제로 다가온 것이다.(중략)

The purpose of this study is establishing effective multimodal logistics structure in northeast Asia. For this end, the interface between transport modes, construction method of rail-ferry transport system, system operation and implementation strategies by step were studied. Rail-ferry system have a competition over present transportation system in international cargo trade market between Korea and China. And, the operation of rail-ferry transportation system between Korea and China is meaningful project in the point of providing various choices to clients. Korea and China should have agreements in trade, customs duties, ports in the next year for the success of this project.

The scope of this study is focused on the survey of new logistics transportation systems in railroad and case studies of new systems such as piggyback system, bi-modal system swapbody, and double stack train(DST). Piggyback system, bi-modal system, swapbody, and double stack train are reviewed in term of technological validity and economic validity in Korea. Piggyback - trailer does pass loaded weight limits but does not pass train limits and can not utilize the existing freight cars. Piggyback - cargo trunk does pass all the criteria and could be developed by a domestic technology. But this study suggests to expand the length of train cars to 18.300mm for accommodation of two cargo trucks. Bi-modal system and swapbody do also pass. Double stack train could only pass the loaded weights and does not meet the train limit and the possibility of using existing freight cars. Domestic technology could not development DST, due to civil engineering construction limits and low standard height of electric line, which could not afford to operate DST.

This paper sets out what can be said in general about pricing within transport sectors. In this paper we briefly restate the economic principles of pricing that hold for two transport sectors-road and rail. This is used as a basis for a discussion of pricing principles in the transport sector. Here we focus on the pricing of user charges of transport infrastructures. We start this paper to analyse road transport sector and compare it with rail sector. In fact as a result of the trend towards rail reform, the issue of charging mechanisms for the use of rail infrastructure has become increasingly important. In this paper, we just take the problem in theory and present some foreign cases. But our long-run objective will be the design of efficient user charges of infrastructures based on fair intermodal competition.

Generally, fare system is divided diminishing fare rate to distance into proportional fare rate to distance. In this paper, it is simulated the financial effect on the HSR operator introduced the diminishing fare rate to distance system. The diminishing fare rate to distance system increase the railroad demand, so profit of HSR operator is increased. We find that the diminishing fare rate to distance system is better than proportional fare rate to distance system.

Diminishing fare rate to distance is widely applied in transportation field including bus, but the decision method of diminishing rate is not established. The basic concept of diminishing fare rate to distance is that passengers have a benefit according to their travel distance. Furthermore, this can be justified in the standpoint of operator because the cost of long-distance traveller is lower than that of short-distance traveller to make same income. It is essential to introduce diminishing fare rate to distance to decide diminishing rate. We suggested methodologies regarding how to decide diminishing rate on the basis of operator costs.

During the last several years, the high speed railway system has been constructed and it is scheduled to open sometime in 2004. To fulfil its duties, it is essential to view intermodalism in the context of broader technological developments in easy access to high speed railway station. And also, to understand the economic importance of intermodal transportation, continual research is needed on the costs and distributional effects of alternative intermodal mechanisms for public works, including direct service to local station or easy transfer to other mass transportation modes. In this paper, necessary courses for local governments involvement are taken, and additional resources must be found that will benefit the entire railway system.

This paper introduces how to adopt the X-12-ARIMA to decompose the railway passenger demand of the Korea National Railroad Especially, selecting on proper filters is focused. The trend filter is identical to the low pass filter in the signal Processing field, and so the seasonal filter is to band pass filter too. Some considerations, selecting a filter, are provided from the view-point of the spectrum analysis. The technique introduced in this paper will be adopted to the project that is to develope the forecasting system of Korea railway passenger demand which is a part of the high speed rail information system.

As the brake control valve of freight car, there are sliding valve and diaphragm one. In this study, we measured and analyzed pneumatic characteristics of brake system of the freight car by using real train experiment. The difference of the release time appears in the freight car incorporated with sliding and diaphragm valve respectively. We adapted quick release valve to reduce the difference of the release time and also found that this valve is useful for the purpose.

It is vary importance that stopping distance for the freight train and need to design parameter of the brake force and friction coefficient. Acoording to the brake force between shoe and wheel less than the adhesion between wheel and rail. Because of vary difference between empty and weight car of 0∼500kN, this solution was made to application for variable loaded brake system. When the V=110km/h. the emergency stopping distance of freight train is about 700m, so this study was considered on the two condition, one of the increse brake force and to be different of the increse friction coefficient on the brake shoe. It was useful increse friction coefficient. Result of study, analyze effect of the brake shoe on the brake force of the freight car and high friction coefficient were proposed. To do this, ${\mu}$=0.155${\pm}$10% when S=600m on the V=110km/h of the train, 2 groove of friction surface on the temperature distribution were considered.

This paper describes the result of endurance test of the brake system of the Korean EMU on the Sangju test track. The purpose of the test is to prove the endurance of brake system. Test conditions are more severe than actual operation on the commercial line. As of October, test result is good without severe problems. 100,000km of test operation will be continued by the end of this year to check the endurance of the brake system.

A data acquisition and signal processing system for evaluating the current collection system is developed, and subsequently applied to the measurement and analysis of the contact force in the current collection system of the proposed Korean High Speed Railway. The measurement of the contact force is based on an algorithm that employs the relationship between the contact force, the strain due to the bending moment and the panhead inertia. For the contact forces in the frequency range of less that 50Hz, the panhead can the modeled as a rigid body in the inertia calculation. For higher frequencies however, the bending vibration modes of the panhead need to be accounted for as well.

Current collection performance on-line tests for a Korean High Speed Train being developed in G7 project is scheduled to start in June, 2002. In this paper, preparatory efforts for measuring contact forces which is regarded as one of major measuring items in the test are introduced. Specifically speaking, review of frequencies related with contact force fluctuations, brief of contact force measuring algorithm, review of measuring instrument specifications and development of a data acquisition program are presented.

Axle Gearbox of the High Speed Train has rotational degree of freedom centered on the Axle Shaft Center Line, and constrained by the Reaction Arm connected to the Bogie Frame via Resilient Ring made of Rubber. This System is laid on the Power Train and can influence on the Power transmitted from Motor to Axle. The stiffeness of the Resilient Ring have to be selected for the Natural Frequency of this System do not overlap with the Teeth-mating Frequency. To confirm the Design Parameters, Calculation and Experiment were executed and compared.

Air spring for railway rolling-stock is a part of secondary suspension system which play the role of supporting load, damping vibration. Recently, air springs are actively applied to railway rolling-stock to substitute coil spring with upgrading the manufacturing skill. This study is started to get the fundamental datum related to air spring for the purpose of developing the test draft for air spring. To analyze the performance of air spring, we conducted the simulation for railway rolling-stock applied air spring and tested train in convention lines. Thus, we have obtained useful datum to develop the test draft for air spring. Here, we describe some results.

As the freight traffic becomes heavier, the high speed of existing freight cars is essential instead of the construction of a new railway. The high speed can be achieved by the design modifications of the freight bogie. In this paper, an analytical model of freight bogie including the lateral force between rail and the flange of wheel is developed to decide the critical speed, which activates a hunting motion and tells the running safety of freight bogie. The dynamic responses of the analytical model were compared with an experimental data from a running test of a freight bogie and showed good agreements between them. The analytical model is used to find the design modifications of the freight bogie by parameter studies. The results show that the reduction of wheelset mass ratio and the increase of the axle distance of the freight bogie can increase the critical speed, but the primary lateral stiffness has little effects on the critical speed. And this also study shows that smaller wheel conicity deteriorates the running safety of the freight car, which means the overhauling of the wheel of freight bogie should be done regularly.

Diesel locomotive engine is the main source of train noise in these days but hard to reduce the level by barrier for it emitted from high location. For the passing high level noise properties of diesel locomotive engine, there are needs of changing the environmental railway limit to maximum level from equivalent. In this study we investigate the noise characteristics of the diesel electric locomotive according to the change of notch. From the result we found out the frequency of engine cycle noise and the shape of noise spectrum.

Before we have made known the study of shape development of interference device for vehicle noise control. It's primary object greatly attenuate the noise due to transport vehicle by small products installed on the noise barrier edge. Also, it is able to improve the insertion loss of a noise barrier without increasing the height. The present time, we set up a newly manufactured products on the noise barrier edge and testify to it's the performance make use of an experiment and evaluation. In this paper the performance of noise barriers with attached newly developed products in terms of shape, absorptive material and split panel, are examined using field test.

Train crashes involve complex interaction between deformable bodies in multiple collisions. The purpose of this study is to suggest the effective analytical procedure using hybrid model for the crashworthiness of motorized trailer of high speed train. The hybrid approach, with very short modeling times and reduced computation times to extract the global behaviour and to perform a pre-optimization of the considered structure. Firstly, various types of crash events are investigated and the conditions for numerical simulation are defined. In this paper, the structural crashwonhiness of Korean High Speed Train trailer was examined through FE analysis. Crash analyses on energy absorbing part and safety zone were carried out to determine each section force. Rollover analysis was performed to observe the amount of intrusion in the passenger's area in case of rollover accident.

This paper uses a dynamic sled test approach to understand the effects of impact speed on the risk of occupant in KHST. The sled impact tests simulate a predefined accident scenarios. This study shows the effect of relative velocity between occupant and struck vehicle while occupant is impacted to a front seat's seatback. Although, base on the current accident scenarios, KHST is performed well enough to protect average adult male occupants. However, Results from the tests indicate small size occupant or higher impact speed may cause sever neck and femur injuries.

It is well known that composite laminates are easily damaged by low velocity impact. Low velocity impact damage characteristics and residual compressive strength of composite laminates used in light rail transit are investigated. The damage of composite laminates subjected to impact loading are occurred matrix cracking, delamination, and fiber breakage. The damage of matrix cracking and delamination are reduced suddenly the compressive strength after impact. The objectives of this study is to evaluate impact characteristics and the relationship between impact force and inside damage of composite laminates by low velocity impact loading. UT C-scan is used to determine impact damage areas by impact loading.

The best method to evaluate crashworthiness of a trainset as a whole is to analyse one dimensional dynamic model composed of nonlinear dampers, springs and bars, and masses. In this study, crashworthiness of KHST was evaluated by analysing a nonlinear spring/bar-damper-mass model. The numerical results show that the KHST can easily absorb kinetic energy at lower impact force and acceleration in a heavy collision, when compared with KTX. Also, the KHST can be protected from any damage in its carbody and components except the prepared energy absorbing tube in a light collision, like a traint-to-train accident at speed under 8 kph. However, the KTX can be much damaged in the a light collision because there is no energy absorbing tube.

In this paper, crashworthiness of the KHST carbodies is evaluated by numerical simulation under the SNCF accident scenario (collision against a movable rigid mass of 15 ton at 110 kph) and the scenario of train-to-train collision at 30 kph. The numerical results of the several simulations, such as the accident collided against a deformable dump truck of 15 tons at 110 kph, the driver's dummy analysis using the integrated analysis method, and the accident of train-to-train collision for the first three units at 30 kph, show good performances in the viewpoint of energy absorption and survival space.

The aluminum extruded sections are used to the light construction of the high speed rail vehicle structures. However, the research works on the crashworthy design of aluminum extruded sections are not published sufficiently. In this paper, the collapse characteristics of aluminum extruded sections are investigated by crush test and simulation. The scale model studies are also performed to predict the impact energy absorption characteristics of full scale model through axial crush test and simulation.

The bogie of high speed freight car running on conventional line is welded bogie modeled on Y25 bogie developed in Europe. Y25 bogie has speed limit of 110km/h. But it has limiting factors to speed-up as increasing maintenance cost and friction parts pedestal. And also it was reported that cracks are found in the parts where center beam meet bolster and endbeam near bracket for braking part. This study includes stress analysis improved structure of welded bogie for strength evaluation by numerical method and experimental method. According to the study, new configuration bogie shows improvement in strength.

The main objective of the study is to provide the criteria for determining the proper life cycle of rebuiled diesel-electric locomotive currently being operated in KNR. We predicted the most critical sections of the cast-iron bogie and tested the diesel-electric locomotive vehicle to measure dynamic stresses applied to the bogie. The fileld test of the diesel-electric locomotive estimated 9.90years based on the fatigue-life estimation when they are continuously used in the present operation condition.

In this study, an aluminum electric motor car with a modular front end made of composite materials is numerically evaluated applying the standard specifications for the urban EMU(Electric Multiple Unit) train. Structural analyses under compressive load, torsional load and free vibration satisfy the standard specifications, but analysis under normal load doesn't. By the way, the aluminum bodyshell of the car except the modular front end is almost same to that of the Korean standard EMU, which satisfy the standard specifications. It is presumed that the stiffness of the modular front end made of composite materials haves some influence on the strength of the aluminum bodyshell.

Rotating bogie frame will be used in the bogie for the Light Rail Train being developed. In development of the bogie, analyzed were the structural strength and fatigue characteristics of the rotating bogie frame. Defined load cases were applied for the analysis. No part of the rotating bogie frame is subjected to stress beyond the fatigue endurance limits of the material used when grinding the weldment of the lower plate link bend. It is concluded that the rotating bogie frame is considered safe in the view of the structural strength.

Bogie frame of the electric car is an important structural member for the support of vehicle leading. In general, more than 25 years' durability is necessary. A lot of study has been carried out for the prediction of the structural integrity of the bogie frame in experimental and theoretical domains. One of the useful methods is reliability-based approach. The objective of this paper is to estimate the structural integrity of the bogie frame of an electric car, which is under the running test. We used two approachs. In the first approach probabilistic distribution of S-N curve is used. In the second approach, limit state function is used.

A FEM-based analytical approach was used to evaluate the static strength and the fatigue strength of a KHST bogie including eddy current brake system. Calculation was carried out in the fields of linearity and small deformation. The yield strengths were used as criteria for evaluating the static strength and the fatigue limits were used as criteria for evaluating the fatigue strength. The analysis results show that there is not any location that exceeds the allowable criteria.

The transmission system of high speed train serve in the severe condition compared with those of other trains, namely, they have to transmit high power to run with high speed and they have to make maximum use of the limited space. To clarify the strength of gear for Korea High-speed train, a bending fatigue test is performed for the output gear of axle gear reduction unit. This paper reports the reviews of bending fatigue strength test method and the test results of output gear of axle gear reduction unit for high speed train.

최근, 경제적 이점과 전단강도의 증가효과로 인하여, 파형 Plate의 사용이 증가하여 있다. 일반 Plate에 대해서는 현재 거의 모든 시방서에 설계기준이 제시되어 있으나, 파형 Plate의 전단강도에 대한 규정은 제시되지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 설계자가 파형 Plate의 여러 기하 조건에 따른 전단강도의 관계를 알아보았으며, 수치해석에는 8절점 박판 쉘요소를 사용했다. 수치해석을 통하여 파형 Plate에 있어서 파형의 크기, 곡률, 파형 Plate의 두께에 따라 전단강도를 결정할 수 있는 식을 제안하였으며, 제안식은 파형 Plate가 일반 Plate에 비해 상당히 큰 전단강도를 갖는다는 것을 보여준다.

Static behaviors of railway plate girder bridges designed by the L-22, a standard load type of the railway specification in Korea, are evaluated by widely eight load cases. The load cases are three real loads, which contain three locomotive types of Saemaul PMC, diesel, and Korea Train Express(KTX), and three design loads, L-22, L-18, and HL-25 loads, in railway specification. Plate girders for analysis have the length of spans of six types：6m, 9m, 12m, 22m, 24m, and 30m. For analysis SAP2000n ,a commercial FEM tool, is used. Dominant axial load types are taken from these results that are maximum deflections, reaction forces, and absolute maximum bending moment in girders.

2span continuous Prestressed concrete girder railway bridges, span length 21m, 25m, 30m, 35m, that down-up method is applied and that designed to satisfy service load in accordance with design criteria of railway bridge can be dropped in their hight compared with existing simply supported prestressed concrete girder railway bridges. Continuous bridges result in guaranteeing safety against bending behavior by loading the practical railway moving load with each velocity. But the natural frequency of span length 21m is estimated not to satisfy recommended limitation of UIC 776-1R..

In this paper, we introduce the Partial Half-Through Type Plate Girder Bridge proposed by Hyundai Development Co. and KRTC Consortium in Turn-Key Based design last year, and this type of bridge may be adapted to the railway bridge under similar conditions. This bridge across the North Han River was to be concerned its find view and the protection of water source. For its location is inside the dam, it required the long span and the clearance for the flood also. Its new composite section was able to diminish the deflection and vibration. Its shop-fabrication could control its quality easily, and might to be launched. This structural type have satisfied its functions, construction situations, and overall safeties, so this is the field-oriented type. However the composition and connections of the proposed members are different to the recent forms, and difficult to be applied to present specifications. Therefore it requires a certification on the application for more safety by not only analytical verifications but also experimental studies. Nevertheless, this type of bridge may have some more applications from now on.

Natural frequencies are studied for dynamic analysis of plate girder bridges which are made up about 34% in the existing railway bridges in Korea. In this study, standard plate girder bridges designed by L-22, a standard load type of the railway specification in Korea, are modeled for finite element method analysis. SAP2000n, a commercial finite element method analysis tool, is used for structural analyses and evaluations. Span lengths of Plate girders have 7 types : 6m, 9m, 12m, 15m, 22m, 24m, and 30m. Natural frequencies are considered in mass rations and span lengths and they are compared with a recommendation of UIC 776-1R for alterations, from now on, in train conditions of operation. For changes of natural frequencies in plate girders by damages of structures, Parameter studies are accomplished.

In this study, railway plate girder bridges are modeled in detail for finite elements within 3-dimension and analyzed by SAP 2000N, a commercial finite element analysis tool. Especially, loads of trains gained by statistical averages of measured true loads of trains are used for analysis. When the loads are adapted, the numerical dynamic responses are very close to real measurements. Resonant speed areas by train types are evaluated from the results of numerical analyses by different driving speeds of trains. For dynamic numerical analysis of railway bridges, reasonable guides are also discussed.

The maximum span length is decided by the relation among the independent factors of rail, train and catenary. However, During the calculation of the maximum span length with the way of Kyung-Bu High railway design using by the commercial program $\ulcorner$MATLAB$\lrcorner$ the mathematical error was founded. Therefore, this paper presents the analysis of the reason why caused the mathematical error occur.

In the electric railway systems, it is very important that we should design the system configuration, location and power capacity of substation. This paper presents the results of system configuration and system design of the DC traction power supply for the test line of Light Rail Vehicle. The voltage fluctuation of train and the power capacity of substation are calculated by computer simulation using the nodal equation, K.C.L／K.V.L, Ohm's law and superposition theory.

This paper presents exact autotransformer-fed AC electric railroad system modeling using constant current mode. The theory is based on the solution of algebraic. The proposed modeling is considered the line self-impedances and mutual-impedances. Besides, the load modeling improved results are obtained as application to the proposed constant current mode. In the analysis on AT-fed AC electric railroad system circuit, a generalized analysis method using the loop equation on a case by case. the simulation objectives are to calculate the catenary and rail voltages with respect to ground, as the train moves along a section of line between two adjacent ATs. The model contains assumptions regarding the representation of the autotransformer, the impedance of the track/catenary system, and the grounding arrangements, which all effect the accuracy of the result. The modeling results seem very reasonable. It is established that techniques for the AC electric railroad system modeling and analysis.

The study result on the sample system shows that the facility to consume the excess regenerated power or the inverting equipment to reuse the excess regenerated power in the electric substation is feasible economically.

본 논문은 고정폐색구간에서 차량운전 특성과 속도패턴이 다양한 다종의 열차들이 동일선로에서 복합되어 고밀도 운행을 위한 방법으로, 신호현시에 대한 제반정보를 차상으로 전송 받아 기관실 신호표시반에 신호를 현시 하는 차상신호방식(Cab Signalling System)중에서, 선행열차의 위치, 선로조건 등 지상의 상태정보를 후속열차가 수신하여 열차 자신의 제동특성 등 차량정보와 비교 분석하여 제동거리를 계산하는 distance to go 방식으로 열차운전속도를 제어하는 ATP (Automatic Train Protection) 시스템을 제안하였다. 폐색구간별 고정된 신호속도단계가 부여되는 ATC(Automatic Train Control) 시스템에서는 운행패턴이 같은 단일차종의 열차만 운행하는 구간에서는 일정속도에 의한 폐색구간 분할로 구간내 distance to go 신호체계가 이루어지지만, 차종과 속도패턴이 서로 상이한 복합열차들의 운행구간에서는 안전거리 확보를 위하여 저속열차의 제동거리를 기준으로 폐색구간 분할 및 속도결정이 이루어지므로 ATP 방식보다 운행효율이 다소 떨어짐을 알 수 있었다. 이를 차량특성과 속도패턴이 다른 3개의 열차를 모델로 하여 열차별 감속도에 의한 제동특성을 ATC와 ATP 신호제어체계에 접목시켜 시뮬레이션을 하였다.

In Korea, the interior design of urban electric railcar has been changed based on the requirements of railway operation company. However, most of the designs are similar to Japanese style owing to the Japanese technical cooperation in early stage of manufacturing in Korea. In order to present the direction of interior design of Korean electric railcar, we have investigated and analyzed the interior design of Japanese electric railcar.

As the air pollution caused by diesel vehicles goes worse, so non-road vehicles exhaust gas standard is strict in an foreign countries. In this paper, we calculate the amount of emission rates from Korean railroad lines and train kinds. Air pollutants emissions are calculated using by US EPA baseline in-use emission rates which is divided line-haul and switch mode. The calculated HC emissions on the railroad diesel vehicles are 1,209.1 t from Korean railroad lines.

Since the urban subway is normally constructed under the groundwater level, the drainage system will be one of the most important factors during maintenance period. Therefore, to investigate suitability of the design approach and the construction specification, the inflow and the contents of the groundwater in the Route 5 of Seoul subway system are analysed. From these, the possibility of the design improvement and the economy of the maintenance cost are proposed.

Conventional Korean tunnel portals require a lot of overburden as, fer static reasons, about 1.5 to 2.0 times the tunnel diameter is needed for the height in order to achieve a sufficient arching effect. Thus, considerable movement of earth and support constructions are required which lead to undesirably large changes of and damage to the environment. With a massively designed pipe roof, tunnels with little overburden can be built. For the effective construction of a pipe roof as an advancing safeguarding method, the following properties are indispensable： stability, insensitivity to settling and drilling accuracy. With the AT casing system a new pipe roof method has been developed which on the one hand entirely combines the properties mentioned last, and which on the other hand permits safe, economical and environmentally friendly construction of tunnels at low overburden heights of 3 to 6 m.

The subway station platform is designed in high platform for quick getting in/out which is against ordinary train platform. Out of 370 Metropolitan subway station platforms, subway stations which have cured platform are about 38％. In these cases, as the distance between subway and platform would become longer, handicapped people's wheelchairs, baby carriers and old and feeble people can feel uncomfortable when they are getting in and out Also, passengers often fall into track because of the height difference between high platform and track. And if passengers go down on track to pick up something fallen, they sometime fail to climb up and happen to hit against subway. To solve out these kind of inconveniences and prevent accidents, we have developed subway station high platform safety system and finished tests. This safety system is consisted of safety block, screened door and safety wall.

This paper provides a brief overview of the process for the introduction of new train in England since privatization in 1994. They have railway safety case which the safety management for the introduction of new trains is to be considered in all process including design, manufacturing, test, maintenance etc. To achieve safety in track, they also consider evidence available from the design and build process.

Rail crossings pose special safety concerns for modern railroad operation with faster trains. More than ninety percent of train operation-related accidents occurs on at-grade crossings. Surest countermeasure for this safety hazard is to eliminate at-grade crossings by constructing over/under pass or by closing them. These eliminations usually require substantial amount of investment and/or heavy public protest from those affected by them. Thorough and objective analysis are usually required, and valid accident prediction models are essential to the process. This paper developed an accident prediction model for Korean at-grade crossings. The model utilized many important factors such as guide personnel, highway traffic, train frequency, train sight distance, and number of tracks. Developed model was validated with actual accident data.

In the Korea, railroad accidents result in about 5.4 railroad run-off crashes every year and account for approximately 93 percent of all railroad accident frequency. Despite the number, quantification of the possible countermeasure has been limited and also railroad safety control after private management for railroad has not been established. Therefore, this study provides some initial insight into the important safety problem by introducing some example, including some detailed safety regulations in both British and U.S. to develop appropriate railroad safety management system.

Especially, it were modified according to change of vehicle performance that criterions proposed previous version Proposed criterions may provide a standard scheme for design and construction of the track layout on LRT.

LRT (Light Rail Transit) is one of the transport modes to reduce heavy traffic in big cities and intercity. LRT line is considered to be easily linked with other transport system. The importance of new LRT lines has recently emerged as the problems solution in Korea. Thus, in this study, the turnout for AGT (Automated Guideway Transit) by computer system has been developed. And Guideway for AGT has also been developed for installation on the LRT line as well. In future, if the results of the feasibility study show the new LRT line project is viable, Kangwon Railtech shall propose design for LRT turnout, development, standardized design for guideway, and construction scheme

As the Public use part of the railway and the road, the railway crossing is important to work properly by two transportation means. Also, It is important to provide the good face of friction on the railway crossing in aspect of protecting the railway crossing accident. Lately, the material of railway crossing panel is the wood, the asphalt, and the steel. As they have a various fault, it was studied to analyze the structural action of the new material, rubber panel. This paper analyzed eigenvalue, stress and displacement by truck passing weight, thermal stress and train moving weight, using the FEM model.

The KNR(Korean National Railroad) is trying to set a new rail standard to back up the speed-up policy of the conventional railways. This work has passably significance since the rail standards used were introduced from Japan without the consideration on our situation. The contact analysis between wheel treads and rail heads, attended with complex calculation and the wear experiments taken long time should be accomplished for the exact investigation to establish a new rail standard. However, this paper just concentrates the structural investigation of the proposed rail standard and the dynamic analysis between trains and rail models with intent to shift the above procedure on the next step.

In this study, a empirical equation which can be feasibly used to evaluate minimal track buckling strength without exact numerical analysis is presented. Parameter studies we carried out to investigate the effects of the individual factor on buckling strength. In order to simulate track buckling in the field as precisely as possible, a rigorous buckling model which accounts for all the important parameters is adopted. A empirical equation for prediction of minimal track buckling strength is derived by taking nonlinear regression of data which are obtained from numerical analyses. Its characteristics and applicability are investigated by comparing the results by the presented equation with the one by the equation which was presented in japan, and is frequently using in korea when designing track structure.

In this study, the relation between cant deficiency(C＇) and rail wear in Seoul Metro Line 5 with STEDEF track structure(concrete bed) is studied. As a result, it is found that cant deficiency have a direct influence on rail wear, and under the condition that other negative effects are neglected, the cant deficiency in Metro Lines is demanded to set as little as possible.

CWR technology is generally believed to contribute to the increase of train speed and bring a variety of significant advantages, such as the decrease in track works, noise and vibration as well as the improvement of passenger comfort. In CWR technology, welding is considered to be one of the most important element technologies. Among the various welding methods, thermit welding is the most frequently used one for site welding since the operation is simple and the instruments are light as well as easy to deal with. However, it could cause interference with safety operation of trains since thermit welding points, are essentially made of castings and there are potentialities of defects according to the operation conditions, the environment of the site as well as the dexterity of the worker. This study tries to describe the characteristics of thermit welding, defect-causing factors and defect-detection methods at welding points.

State of the German high speed railway slab track were investigated. The Permanent Way consisting of rails and sleepers laid on ballast is a technically and economically viable solution. After two decades of targeted research and development activities Slab Track turned out to be a reasonable option on special fields.

There are a close relationship between natural disasters and train safety. So it is very important to guaranty train safety using reasonable rail-transport operation control against disasters. Therefore, based on the past record of rainfall at failure, rail-transport operation control for railway embankment under rainfall was set up. After slope check list at home and abroad had been analyzed, new slope check list was suggested and site investigations were carried out using this check list. In order to evaluate the stability of railway slopes under rainfall, explanatory variables and subordinate variables were selected for multi-variate analysis and critical rainfall was defined by statistical process. Rail-transport operation control including regional and geological properties was suggested by analyzing the critical rainfall and rail-transport operation control in other country, and this will be a good tool to control train speed under rainfall and to secure train safety.

It's strongly recommended to check upon the slope stability of soil nearby railroad, since the freezing-thawing repeat in long term may cause decrease of slope stability. The study is, therefore, focused on the strength characteristic transformation of soil, measuring it experimentally, throughout physical and mechanical tests operated by the freezing-thawing repeat tests. The sampling of weathered soil used for the embankment materials along the domestic railway lines are classified by parent-rock, and then collected after it in the first hand. It tells that Uniaxial strength and axial strain were decreased simultaneously as the frequency of freezing-thawing repeat increased and its range was reduced into 25～85 percentage off comparing to uniaxial strength of unfreezing-soils when about 100 times of freezing-thawing repeats occurred. Following the result of direct shear tests, the cohesion of freezing-soil with freezing-thawing repeats shows 11∼60 percentage less than that of unfreezing-soil but the change of internal friction angle of the soil is extremely slight, enough to ignore. As a result. it could be found that strength characteristic transformation has highly correlated with freezing-thawing repeat.

Since 1970's in Germany and U.S.A., the studies on increasing the bearing capacity of railway roadbed using geogeid have been conducted for the repair, reinforcement, and extention of railways constructed on soft soils. In this study, the railway roadbed system reinforced with geogrids has been analyzed and investigated using finite element method and results of the previous studies were conducted in Korea and other nations. And the method for estimating the railway roadbed thickness was developed based on the equivalent method using the multi-layer theory and the deformation modulus Ev.

This paper presents the critical speed analysis of geogrid-reinforced rail roadbeds on soft soil. A rail roadbed on soft ground must be designed to avoid intolerable stress in the underlying soil and to give sufficient support for the rail system. At high speeds, the deformation of rail systems will gain dynamic amplification, and reach excessive values as a certain speed, here termed critical speed is approached. The elastic Winkler foundation model was used to predict the critical speed of geogrid-reinforced rail roadbeds on soft soil and the model properties were determined by the in-situ cyclic plate load test. Based on the parametric study of elastic beam on Winkler foundation model, the critical speed increase with the increase of the flexural risidity of subgrade EI and the stiffness coefficient of Winkler foundation k. From the in-situ cyclic load tests and analysis of elastic beam on Winkler foundation model, the critical speed increase with increase in number of reinforced layer and non-dimensional value for depth of first geogrid layers and the thickness of reinforced rail roadbed u/d.

When a testing body is being inserted to the ground by Front Jacking Method, the influence of friction forces around the body plays important role in the characteristics of whole ground behavior. In the study, the Front Jacking Method that most frequently used in Korea who applied with experimental way. And the characteristics of ground behavior that caused by the friction that acts to the upper slab was analysed for the basic data that can be utilized for real scale experiment.

We analysed the affection to subgrade that railway underground crossing construction make with studying displacement of subgrade of each construction methods and processing of Front jacking method and Pipe roof method with already-measured data(during the construction) and additionally-measured field test data in railway underground crossing construction. We measured vertical and horizontal displacement at two construction places of front jacking method and pipe roof method each, and we analysed the results of the measurement at each stage of construction to applied to the excution of construction.

Copper slag is the by-producted material on the proceeding of refining the copper. To verify applications of copper slag to vertical drain material can substitute for the sands in ground improvement, laboratory soil tests and consolidation model tests were conducted. The results of consolidation model test was analyzed as the hyperbolic method. The hyperbolic method assumes that the settlement(s) versus time(t) behavior approaches a straight line describes a hyperbolic reaction. The inverse of the slope of the line would then yield the ultimate settlement. Through in this study, copper slag is compatible with vertical drain material as like sands. Copper slag compaction pile promote the consolidation settlement.

SIP(Soil cement Injected Precast pile) that inserts a precast pile after injecting a cement paste into a boring has been applied rapidly through the change of construction circumstances. But there isnt any logical equation of a bearing capacity fitted to SIP yet. So Meyerhof equation has mainly been used to predict a bearing capacity in a design stage instead. But it has shortcomings such as lack of confidence because it has derived not from a theory but from an experience obtained from the result of SPT (Standard Penetration Test) and because a penetration depth tends to be deeper by an excessive design that depends on an end bearing capacity of a pile more than a skin frictional resistance. In this study, thereupon, a direct shear test in the laboratory was performed to both SM and SC soils in variable conditions to verify skin friction properties for the purpose of presenting some reasons capable of reducing penetration depths. Through the tests, soil to soil of SM in cohesion, rough panel to soil of SM in friction angle and soil to soil of SM in shear strength tended to be high. And a shear strength increased as its total unit weight increased in all cases.

In this study, performance of reinforced railroad roadbeds with the slag(HMS-25) and soil were investigated through the real scale railroad roadbed tests. Several real scale reinforced railroad roadbeds were constructed in the laboratory with different subgrade conditions and were tested with the estimated actual train loads including the impact loading of train. The affecting factors such as plastic ＆ elastic settlement roadbed layers as well as surface of rails were measured. The settlement at rail surface and roadbed surface of case of soil and slag roadbed comparative with good roadbed site were 2.3, 5.7 times and 1.9, 1.6 times, respectively.

An important and cotinuing research effort has been concentrated to estimate safety for behavior of soil nearby construction site. This construction under ground would cause the soil to deform and vibrate at any direction. This paper presents to estimation of safety for movement and reliability for vibration due to steel tube jacked under ground.

This study is on the behavior analysis which can define and verify a system requirement through a behavior diagram for High speed rail system. The model considered in this study is limited to the preconditioning control of the control system specification for HSRS. To build an executable model, requirements should be decomposed first into leaf node requirements. The behavior model is composed of input, output, and functions which are linked with leaf node requirements. It is important that a single requirement must specify a single Auction. Using the developed executable model and the traceability between requirements and functions, this study found out a lot of static and dynamic inconsistency, missed and derived requirements. This is to develop and executable behavior model to do functional analysis and be able to verify the integrity of a specification.

남북한의 경제협력은 한반도 통합과정과 통일 한반도에 있어서 매우 중요한 의미를 지니게 될 것이다. 남북한 통합이 아직 속단할 단계는 아니므로 중장기적 전망이 타당하겠지만 러시아의 시베리아지역은 아ㆍ태지역과 유럽(중동과 서남아시아와 중앙아시아 포함)을 이어주는 교량의 위치에 놓여 있는 중요한 지역이므로 이지역을 둘러싼 국제적인 경쟁과 다양한 형태의 국가간 및 지역간 협력의 시대가 불원간에 도래할 것임을 전망할 수 있다.(중략)

Railway passenger demand forecasts may be used directly, or as inputs to other optimization model which is use the demand forecasts to produce estimates of other activities. The optimization models require demand forecasts at the most detailed level. In this environment exponential smoothing forecasting methods such as Holt-Winters are appropriate because it is simple and inexpensive in terms of computation. There are several initialization methods for Holt-Winters Model. The purpose of this paper is to compare the initialization methods for Holt-Winters model.

해방후 3대산업선 건설시만 해도 철도건설기술은 토목공사의 선구자였다. 그러나 1960년대 경부고속도로 개통으로 도로기술이 앞서게 되고 철도의 발전도 침체되어 오다가, 시속 300km/h의 경부고속철도가 2004년 개통을 앞두고 있는 현 시점에서 비로소 철도의 효용성을 알게 되었고 대도시의 대중교통에서도 역시 지하철이 최선임을 알게 되었을뿐만 아니라 남북화해에 가장 뜻 있는 경의선 남북 철도 연결과 대륙간 연장 운행의 필요성으로 그 의의가 크게 되어 이제야말로 우리나라 철도의 르네상스 시대가 도래한 것 같다.(중략)

Contact lines are necessary to supply electric locomotives with electric power. As most railways are gradually electrified with modernized electric cars, the demand for catenary wires and their facilities are also increased. Catenary wires made by metallic materials are generally used in the open air. They are exposed to the marine area with air-borne salt or severely polluted industrial area with much corrosive emission gases depending on the railway locations. In urban area, acid rain may cause a degradation of catenary wire system. Corrosion of catenary wires can make their actual lifetime shorter than that originally designed. Thus, the messenger wires, a kind of catenary wire system, were investigated with respect to corrosion, which include new and the used one collected at the field. They are also vibrated with some amplitude everytime the train passes through the railway. The frequent cyclic load on the wire any result in a fatigue damage, Surface damage by corrosion can make fatigue crack initiate with ease. In the present study, the fatigue life of the used wire was measured 40 to 50% shorter than that of new one in average.

김대중 대통령은 올해 초 건설교통부 업무보고를 받는 자리에서 "어느 나라에도 철도가 국영화된 나라는 없다"며 "2월까지 철도구조개혁법을 마련하여 올해에는 반드시 철도민영화가 이루어지도록 해야 한다"고 지시했다. 현재의 철도청체제는 관료적 조직이 지니는 경직성과 전문성 부족으로 효율적이지 않기 때문에 획기적인 구조개혁이 필요하다는 것이다. 그리고 철도청의 비효율성을 드러내는 뚜렷한 증거로 최근 3년간 다각적인 경영혁신 노력에도 불구하고 초래된 철도청 운영적자 1998년 3212억원, 1999년 2510억원, 2000년 2500억원을 내세웠다.(중략)
