Abstract
In pursuit of the Trans-Korea Railway (TKR) project connecting the Korean peninsular by a rail link, it is critical that the two railway systems in ROK and DPRK are comparable in criteria and standards. Yet, there is substantial divergence of the construction criteria between the two sides, which hinders from conducting the TKR project as well as the railway modernization of DPRK. In this regard, study and comparison of the criteria are a prerequisite for mitigating the hinderance. This study investigated the laws and regulations relating to the railway technologies and construction and in particular conducted a comparative analysis of both railway systems with a focus on railway facilities such as track, structures, electric power and signaling. The results of this study will provide a useful information for the improvement of existing lines and the construction of new lines in DPRK.
