The introduction of KTX (Korea Train Express) has brought an historic change to the overall transit system in Korea. The high-speed railway stations in particular are expanding the scope as public transit centers. However, it is evident that the evaluation on the high-speed railway stations had not been performed successfully thus far. The most important element of the evaluation is the connectivity of the departure point to the arriving stations and also the internal transfer service stations. We developed the service evaluation indicators of transfer facilities in the high-speed railway stations. The indicators are comprised of the level of service (LOS), the propriety of allocation, and the quality of information throughout the facilities in the centers. We examined the 7 stations in Korea that are currently in operation and standardized the methodology of the evaluation process by applying the indicators suggested in this study.

실시간 대중교통 종합 환승정보(TAGO)시스템은 대중교통 이용자 중심의 서비스제공을 목적으로 교통 수단간 환승 정보를 제공하고 있다. TAGO는 항공, 철도, 버스(시외/시내/고속), 지하철 등 대중교통 뿐 아니라 자가용, 자전거 이용자의 환승을 고려한 정적/동적 운행정보, 소통 정보를 연계하여 통합하고, 네비게이션 서비스, 지역정보 서비스, 돌발 상황, 날씨 정보, 통계 정보를 인터넷 TAGO 홈페이지(www.tago.go,kr)와 환승 지점에서의 현장안내장비(Kiosk, PDP)를 통해 제공하고 있다. 현재 TAGO는 3차 사업이 진행 중이며 전국 단위 장거리 교통수단과 지역내 단거리 교통수단의 교통정보를 연계하여 효율적인 환승정보를 제공하여 대중교통 이용 활성화에 기여하고 있다. 미래의 TAGO 시스템은 유비쿼터스 시대의 신개념 교통정보 제공을 위한 확장성을 고려하여 서비스 범위를 확대하며, 다양한 매체를 통해 전국 어느곳에서든 출발지부터 목적지까지 교통수단의 선택, 경로안내, 환승정보, 지역정보 등을 제공할 계획이다.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the applicability of the shear wave tomography technology as a non-destructive testing method to evaluate the debonding between the track concrete layer (TCL) and the hydraulically stabilized based course (HSB) of concrete slab tracks for the Korea high-speed railway system. A commercially available multi-channel shear wave measurement device (MIRA) is used to evaluate debonding defects in full-scaled mock-up test specimen that was designed and constructed according to the Rheda 200 system. A part of the mock-up specimen includes two artificial debonding defects with a length and a width of 400mm and thicknesses of 5mm and 10mm, respectively. The tomography images obtained by a MIRA on the surface of the concrete specimens are effective for visualizing the debonding defects in concrete. In this study, a simple image processing method is proposed to suppress the noisy signals reflected from the embedded items (reinforcing steel, precast sleeper, insert, etc.) in TCL, which significantly improves the readability of debonding defects in shear wave tomography images. Results show that debonding maps constructed in this study are effective for visualizing the spatial distribution and the depths of the debondiing defects in the railway concrete slab specimen.

The conventional block systems for railway signaling currently in operation in Korea have not been electrified or integrated and therefore there have been difficulties in terms of construction and maintenance. Two independent systems have been installed for ABS and LEU of ATP system (for speeded-up lines), although they deal with the same signaling information at the same location in order to control the trains. In these conventional ABS and LEU, a number of duplicate modules are installed in each device including lamp detection units and power supply units and it results increased manufacturing costs and maintenance efforts. This paper deals with the prototype development of integrated electronic block system with CPU-based digital control methods in order to overcome the limitations of the conventional ABS. The suggested system is the integration of the conventional ABS with LEU of ATP and it is also applicable for the non-ATP sections as well.
