In this paper, to verify the field application of a displacement estimation technique based on the relationship between displacement and strain, static and dynamic field load test are performed on three-span continuous real bridge structures. The superstructure types of the test bridges are IPC girder highway bridge and steel box girder AGT bridge. LVDTs and strain gauges are attached to them; then, the responses due to test vehicle are measured. To obtain the displacement-strain relationship of the test bridges, the bridges are modeled as grillage system with 6 DOFs for the purpose of structural analyses. Static and dynamic displacements, which are estimated using both the calculated displacement-strain relationship and the measured strain signal, agree well with the values measured by LVDT. This study demonstrates that the displacement estimation technique using the strain signal can be effectively applied to the displacement measurement of bridge structures that cross rivers/roads/railways or have high clearance.

Monorail System has many advantages compared with other Urban Lightweight Transit Systems, such as the friendliness of the vehicle's appearance, slenderness of the bridge structures, it's low construction cost and short construction period. So, lots of city governments have reviewed or proposed the Monorail System as the attractive alternative system. And recently, Daegu Metropolitan City Government have chosen the Monorail System for the Urban Railroad Line 3. According to these trends on Urban Lightweight Transit Systems, this paper has introduced the outline of the planning and design of Monorail Bridges. At first, trends of overseas Monorail Bridges have been reviewed and the principal design criteria adopted in the basic design of the Urban Railroad Line 3 for Daegu have been introduced. And next, the methods of planning, design, fabrication of the guideway beams which are made of PSC Beam or Steel Beam have been explained. We hope this paper be helpful for the Engineers who are interested in the Monorail Bridges.

1. 철도, 도로, 항공, 해운 등 교통수단별 현황을 조사한 결과, 현재까지의 교통정책이 도로교통 우선 위주였기 때문에 철도는 뛰어난 환경성 및 경제성을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 수송분담율이 비교적 저조한 편이었다. 그러나, 향후 정부의 사회기반시설 구축에 있어서 국가 기간 철도망 확대와 대도시 지하철 및 경량전철 건설을 통한 도심철도망과 간선철도망의 연결 등을 통하여 철도의 이용이 훨씬 용이해질 것으로 보이며 이에 따라 철도의 이용률도 크게 상승할 것으로 예상된다. 2. 교통수단별 일반현황은 다음과 같다. 1) 철도교통은 여객수송량이 다소 증가하고 있는 추세였는데, 2004년 KTX의 개통으로 인하여 여객수송량이 급증하였으나, 화물수송은 약간 감소하는 추세이다. 2) 도로교통은 공로의 경우 이용량이 크게 감소하고 있으나, 자가용의 경우에는 승용차의 급증에 의하여 도로의 분담률이 증가하고 있다. 그러나, 도로망의 확충이 자동차의 증가량을 따르지 못하는 것과 자동차가 도시에 밀집됨에 따른 교통체증에 따라 자가용 차량의 1일 평균 주행거리가 짧아지는 등 수송량이 크게 증가하지는 않고 있다. 3. 각 교통수단별 환경경제성을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1) 단위수송량당 에너지 소비율은 여객의 경우 철도가 75.97kcal/인 km에 불과한 반면에 버스는 415.43, 택시는 1,192.24kcal/인 km에 달하여 각각 철도의 5.5배 및 15.7배나 많은 에너지를 소비하는 것으로 나타났다. 화물의 경우에도 철도는 105.98kcal/톤 km에 불과한 반면에 도로는 1,674.21kcal/톤 km에 달하여 철도의 무려 15.8배의 에너지를 사용하는 것으로 나타나, 철도가 에너지 효율성 면에서 도로 교통수단보다 월등히 앞서는 친환경적이면서 경제적인 교통수단임을 알 수 있다. 2) 도로와 철도의 단위수송량 당 CO의 배출량은 도로가 1,531.2kg/백만인 km로 철도의 167.4kg/백만인 km에 비하여 9배나 되었다. 그러나, 탄화수소의 경우는 도로가 216.5kg/백만인 km으로 철도의 68.0kg/백만인 km의 3배를 넘는다. 미세먼지의 경우는 도로가 철도보다 약간 더 많은 수준이었으나, NOx와 $SO_2$는 오히려 철도가 오히려 약간 더 높게 나타났다.

Traffic congestions in local cities have been getting worse since 1990s, so many local governments have considered the introduction of an LRT system. So far, there is no city operating the LRT due to social environments, financial reasons, feasibility and so on. But still many cities have examined LRT or started the construction. Until now, more than 30 cities are constructing LRT or planning the introduction of LRT and it becomes 96 routes, approximately 700km. With the support of MLTM, KRRI has developed automatic LRT system with rubber-wheels, K-AGT as a result of "LRT system technology development project" from 1999 to 2005 by investing 50.32 billion wons(the public 37, the private 13.32) and finished running durability test of 100,000km at Kyeong-san test line. Currently, two trains, coupled two cars respectively have running and signaling tested. K-AGT was appointed to supply for an extension line at Busan Subway Line 3(Minam-Anpyeong section) with 17 trains(six-unit car) 102 cars. However, except for Minam-Anpyeong section, other cities such as Uijeongbu, Yongin, Daegu(Line 3) and Kwangmyeong decided to use the foreign systems, not to use the product, a result of national R&D project. This results in a huge waste of foreign currency and it is expected to require much additional cost for maintenance. If local governments use the products of national R&D projects, many national benefits such as reducing imports and protecting home industries could be expected, therefore in this paper, some plans to encourage to use products of national R&D projects were dealt with.

The purpose of this study is to develop conflict management considering justification of planning decision by public involvement (PI) in the context of Korea as an approach to prevent conflicts for railway projects and to achieve consensus building between public and governments. In this study, to evaluate the effectiveness of conflict management in the process of railway planning, we examined the before and after survey on the light rail transit (LRT) planning that was previously conducted. We first conducted estimation on the causal relationships among factors related to acceptance of LRT planning by structural equation model. The estimation results show that conflict management activities and acceptance are positively related. We also discussed as follows: the level of recognition of railway project influences positive effects regardless of conflict management activities, the most important factor with respect to the acceptance is awareness for planning necessity.

Today, ever growing population density in Seoul or areas near Seoul is problematic. To overcome the problem, the government tries to construct so called, 'New-towns'near Seoul to spread out the population over larger areas. But building new-towns created another problem of traffic between Seoul and New-towns. It can be solved if more public transportation systems such as urban railroads are constructed. In order to succeed in urban railroad construction, we have to make a perfect plan through in depth research on characteristics of the urban train and the construction site. In this paper, we propose a method to design the Decision Support Systems(DSS) using Geographic Information Systems(GIS) and Spatial Analysis for the planning of urban railroad construction.

The Light Rail Transit Project is a large scaled project which takes several years in building a system. After construction, LRT system is operating for several tens of years. For these characteristics, the right application of systems engineering to LRT project greatly effects the project success. In this paper, we present systems engineering application model to LRT project i.e. SELRT which include systems engineering technical process, core technology management process, project support process. SELRT also has a module for the exchange of outputs in SE tool and PM tool. Systems engineering processes in SELRT mainly base on ISO/IEC 15288. In future, we expand the range of SE processes and improve the usability in SELRT. We expect that this model will contribute to improve the efficiency in LRT project and to success the LRT project.
