The demand for an environment-friendly transportation system, equipped with low energy consumption, and low-or zero-pollution has been on the increase since the beginning of the World Trade Organization era. Simultaneously, the consistent growth of high-speed tram technology, combined with market share, has sparked a fierce competition among technologically-advanced countries like France, Germany, and Japan in an effort to keep the lead in high-speed train technology via extensive Research and development(R＆D) expenses. These countries are leaders in the race to implement the next-generation transportation system, build intercontinental rail way networks and export the high-speed train as a major industry commodity. The need to develop our own(Korean) 'high-speed train' technology and its core system technology layouts including original technology serves a few objectives: They boost the national competitive edge; they develop an environmental friendly rail road system that can cope with globalization and minimize the social and economic losses created by the growing traffic-congested delivery costs, environment pollution, and public discomforts. In turn, the 'G7 Project-Development of High Speed Railway Technology' held between 1996 and 2002 for a six-year period was focused on designing a domestic train capable of traveling at a speed of 350km/h combined and led to the actual implementation of engineering and producing the '2000 high-speed train:' This paper summarizes and introduces one of the G7 Projects-specifically, the design segment achievement within the development of train system engineering technology. It is true that the design aspect of the Korean domestic railway system program as a whole was lacking when compared with the advanced railroad countries whose early phase of train design emphasized the design aspect. However, having allowed the active participation of expert designers in the early phase of train design in the current project has led to a new era of domestic train development and the implementation of a way to meet demand flexibly with newly designed trains. The idea of a high-speed train in Korea and its design concept is well-conceived: a faster, more pleasant, and silent based Korean high-speed train that facilitates a new travel culture. A Korean-type of high-speed train is acknowledged by passengers who travel in such trains. The Korean high-speed prototype train has been born, combining aerodynamic air-cushioned design, which is the embodiment of Korean original design of forehead of power car minimized aerodynamic resistance using a curved car body profile, and the improvement of the interior design with ergonomics and the accommodation of the vestibule area through the study of passenger behavior and social culture that is based on the general passenger car.

The critical link between consumer-based internet ordering and the delivery of the product to the consumer is a key success factor in online shopping. Market areas of online shopping company implies the range of space where products ordered from online shopping can be physically delivered to customers distributed over space with reasonable shipping cost and lead time through the physical distribution network. The average rate of growth in online shopping is 36% per year in Korea for the last 5 years. But there are no maps available that describe sales/delivery density of online shopping, few researches are focused on the short-term/long-term adaptation to demand increase by online shopping. In this paper (1) Maps of trade area are described indicating the sales/delivery density around the nation. (2) Empirical researches suggested that short-term adaptation to demand increase resulted in price reduction and service in enhancement of service quality in local transportation. But the long-term adaptation on the parts of parcel delivery industry are to be investigated in future researches.

Railways are one of the safest and most important transportation systems in the world. On the other hand, due to the increasing complexity of the railway system and the running distance of rail vehicles, railway accidents occur continuously every year. In particular, in the case of high-speed trains and freight trains, if the function of the axle bearing is lost due to abnormal overheating of the axle box bearing, the load on the axle becomes uneven. Therefore, abnormal overheating in the train axle box bearings can cause serious accidents or derailments. For this purpose, a Hot Box Detector (HBD) was installed in the track side of a high speed line to detect abnormal overheating. This paper proposes an EWMA technique-based axle temperature monitoring method to detect abnormal overheating quickly and efficiently. A statistical design of the proposed method was also performed. The proposed method has better performance compared to the current method in the case of abnormal overheating and the performance is improved by approximately 170% at the maximum.

The effects of three fuselage head shapes and nonplanar ground surface on the aerodynamic characteristics of FAST fuselages are investigated using a boundary element method. Wind tunnel test is also performed to validate the present method and to identify the wall effect on the frictional drag which cannot be analyzed using the present method. It is found that the channel has an effect of increasing the lift of those investigated fuselages. The optimal head shape depends on the design conditions of the FAST and its guideway channel. Comparing the calculated induced drag with the measured total drag, it can be concluded that the profile drag is independent of the ground height. Thus, the present numerical method can be applied to the conceptual design of the high-speed ground transporters if only the profile drag of the vehicle in free flight is assumed to be known.

현재까지 개발되고 있는 자기부상열차는 상전도 방식과 초전도 방식의 2종류로 대별 할 수 있다. 즉 상전도방식은 상전도 전자석에 의한 흡인력에 의해 지상에서 1cm정도를 부상하여 주행하는 시스템으로 영국의 버밍행공항의 People mover, 독일의 Transrapid, 일본의 HSST, 우리나라의 한양대, 자기 부상열차사업단, 대우중공업, 현대정공의 EXPO전시운행선등이 개발되어 있다. 초전도방식으로는 초전도전류에 의한 반발력에 의해 10cm이상 부상되어 운행되는 시스템으로 MLU 시스템이 있는데 지진이 심한 일본에서 개발되었다. 영국의 버밍햄공함의 People mover는 1984년부터 실용화되어 무인자동운전시스템으로 10년간을 아무 문제 없이 운행되고는 있지만 선로길이 620m 정도의 소규모 저속운송시스템에 지나지 않는다. 반면 독일의 Transrapid시스템은 31.5km의 트랙을 설치하여 시속 450km까지 운행을 계속하여 현재 15만km정도의 운행실적을 올리고 있다. 최근 독일내각은 함부르크-베를린 사이의 290km에 이르는 선로를 2005년까지 완공하기로 결정을 내리고 금년 상반기에 착공을 할 예정이다. 따라서 세계적으로 실용화단계에까지 도달한 대규모 고속시스템으로는 단연 Transrapid시스템을 꼽을 수 있다. 이에 Transrapid사와 미국, 일본등의 각 국에서 그간 세밀하게 조사하여 검토한 자료를 상세하게 소개하므로써 신교통시스템으로서의, 자기부상열차의 적합성과 개발의 타당성 및 당위성을 제시하여 이 분야에 관심있는 분들에게 참고는 물론 우리나라의 개발방향 설정에 유익한 자료가 되었으면 한다.

Parametric study has been conducted to calculate the capacity of vacuum pump system that will be used to maintain the pressure of the tube structure under atmosphere level. Recently many railroad researchers pay attention to the tube train system as one of the super high speed transportation system. To achieve the super high speed, the inside of tube system should be maintained at low pressure level. In the low pressure environment, it is well known that air resistance of train is drastically decreased. Vacuum pump system will be used to make low pressure state for tube structure, exhaust the leakage air and supplement additional vacuum pumping. As results of these studies, we get the lump capacity of vacuum pump for various parameters. These results can be applied to analyze the effects of the reduction of air resistance.

21세기는 한국 철도의 르네상스시대라고 부르고 있다. 이는 자동차와 비행기 등 다른 교통수단에 의해 낙후되어있던 철도가 다시 안전하면서도 정확한 운송시간 등으로 그 경쟁력을 확보해가고 있으며 때를 같이하여 고속철도의 개통을 앞두고 있기 때문이다. 이러한 철도의 경쟁력을 강화하는데 크게 기여한 부분 중 하나가 신호 보안장치 즉 열차제어장치의 발전에 있다고 하겠다. 하지만 열차를 제어하기 위해선 실시간격으로 열차의 절대 위치를 알아야만 하는 문제점이 있다. 이를 비교적 쉽게 극복할 수 있는 방법 중 하나가 인공위성을 이용한 통신기술을 이용하는 것이다. 이는 이미 다른 분야에서는 상용화되어 서비스가 이루어지고 있는 GPS(Global Positioning System)이다. 본 논문에서는 열차의 절대 위치를 GPS(Global position system)를 이용하여 구해 보고자 한다. 이를 위해 GPS 신호 추적을 확장형 칼만 필터를 적용하여 열차의 속도 변화에 대한 GPS 신호 추적 루프를 예측 제어함으로써 보다 정확하고 빠른 GPS 위치 정보를 도출하였다.
