The widening national capital area of Korea has caused a traffic jam problem with increasing commuting hours. In addition, as the economic crisis goes on, the people moving to the outside of a city has increased. So we expect that the expansion of this metropolitan area will do grow and it will cause a more severe traffic jam in the near future. Therefore, We will study about 'Rapid Railroad Operation in Metropolitan Area' to solve this problem and improve rail's competitive power as a reasonable transportation method. The Rapid Railroad can sharply reduce commuting hours. Also, it is more eco-friendly transportation than the others. Through many cases revealed in both domestics and overseas, we will solve the problem of a traffic jam getting senous m metropolitan area. After studying successful cases of overseas, rapid railroad, such as France and Japan, we will study domestic cases of Yongsan$\sim$Dong-inchoen, Guro$\sim$Cheonan and Gaehwa$\sim$Sin-nonhyeon, and comparison will do made among these case. In conclusion, The introduction of Rapid Railroad show the effective plan for strengthen the competitiveness and solve the traffic problem.

The train system in a big city has the serious problem of the shortage of transport capacity. And because of the nowaday energy crisis, the research to reduce the energy consumption in the train system has been progressed. In this paper, it is expected that the train operation mixing slow trains and fast trains enable us to increase transport capacity and to reduce energy consumption. In this paper, the train operation mixing slew trains and fast trains is modelled and the change of energy consumption and transport capacity depending upon the operation formation is simulated.

Seoul Metro Line 9 (SML9) will link Gimpo Airport to the Gangnam district opening in May 2009. SML9 has a new model in Korea constructed by metropolitan government and private company and operated by specialized public transportation service provider. SML9 is confronted with tough environment of stagnated public transportation and strong competitor, Olympic city expressway. Consequently SML9 must lead the maximum efficiency by using its material and human resource. Hereupon, I propose renovation plans from 3 viewpoints of operation field of SML9: Rapid-Local combination, close connection with other transportation and direct connecting service into Incheon Air-port Railroad(AREX).

As urbanization and industrialization develops, the necessity of utilizing scarce land in three dimensions is raising. The issue of utilizing underground space is being actively discussed particularly when Geyeonggi-do announced GTX(Great Train Express) construction plan which aims to relieve traffic congestion in metropolitan areas. The current regulation on compensation of underground space is based on "Regulations on compensation standard complied by using underground space for construction of urban railway" but it is difficult for covering the whole rights to protect a three-dimensional right. In this context, the study is to propose the improvement plans of land right's problem and compensation issues to utilization of underground space for the right complementary. To do this, the study reviews the use situation of the classification surface right and using adjudication which defines the effect scope of underground space extending land ownership. As well as it analyzes issues about compensation standard for utilizing of underground space.

Because railways themselves are not enough to provide door-to-door service, they need to be complemented by a transportation system access the stations and a convenient transfer system to access other railway lines. User friendly service policies include a faster, interconnected, and intermodal transportation system. It becomes more important to use deep subterranean space from an economical standpoint in order to promote railway construction projects. In this research, the authors dealt with construction plan for strengthening capacity of deep subterranean railways. Since deep subterranean railways are situated deeper underground than other railways, they are more difficult to access and transfer to, in addition to psychological pressure. Moreover, deep subterranean railways with high speed add access difficulties as the distance between stations increases. Therefore, the authors discuss not only systemization for uniting deep subterranean railways and other transportation facilities but also reinforcement strategies. The purpose of these strategies is so that deep subterranean railways provide mobility while established railways provide accessibility to overcome this problem.

High-speed trains have been developed widely in many countries in order to transport a large quantity of people and commodities rapidly. When a high speed train enters a tunnel, aerodynamic resistance is generated suddenly. This resistance causes micro pressure wave and discomfort to passengers. Therefore, it is essential to incorporate a pressure relief system in a tunnel and streamlined shape of a train in order to reduce aerodynamic resistance caused by a high-speed train. Additionally, the cross-sectional area of a tunnel should be carefully determined to reduce discomfort of passengers. A pressure relief duct and a vertical shaft are representative measures in a tunnel. This study represents the effect of pressure relief ducts in order to alleviate pressure changes within a time period in a tunnel. One-dimensional network numerical simulations were carried out in order to estimate the effect of pressure relief systems.

The railway system has been recognized as one of the best eco-friendly advanced transportation systems. Furthermore, the improvement of the passenger transportation quality and the energy saving have been studied for being the most competitive transportation system. However, most of the studies have been mainly focused on the improvement of the transportation efficiency and energy saving because of the characteristics of the urban railway which serves the unspecified multiple passengers. In this paper, the 3-dimensional vibratory lateral acceleration has been measured in various environments for the automatic and manual operation modes of the general train and express train in the urban railway lines. In terms of the improvement of the passenger transportation quality, the comparison analysis of the ride quality is carried out based on the measured 3-dimensional vibratory lateral acceleration and the statistical techniques of UIC513R suggested by the International Union of Railways.

The Korean railway system is a mass transit system consisting of a variety of train types such as common trains, high-speed train (KTX) and Metropolitan Express Railway (EMU). Its operation is based on the official timetable and it provides us with safe, accurate, quick and comfortable service. The objective of this study is to propose and prove more practical method for estimating line capacity by considering high-speeding and diversification of trains. In particular, the focus of this study is to reduce the discrepancy between the result of the theoretical line capacity estimation and the real line capacity of the operating agency of the Korean railway. In order to achieve the object, this study introduces a new railway capacity notion by considering TPS of line alignment, the operation type, train control and signaling system, etc. Through a practical schedule diagram exemplification, the result of the proposed method is verified as well.

The Korean railway system is a mass transit system in which a various types of trains such as common trains, high-speed train (KTX), Metropolitan Express Railway (EMU) are operated. It is operated based on a timetable and provides us with safety, regularity, quickness and comfortable service. The objective of this study is to propose a method for estimating line capacity considering high-speeding and diversification of trains. In particular, the focus of this study is on the closing gap between the result of the existing line capacity estimation method and the real-world line capacity of the operating agency of the Korean railway. For this, this study introduces a new railway capacity definition by considering TPS of line alignment according to the operation type, train control and signaling system, etc. The verification of the proposed method using a practical schedule diagram exemplification is discussed as well.

"Phenolic composite", one of safety composites was chosen to build rolling stock in England while it was applied to building materials in London Underground facilities. This paper was written by Mr. Denver E. Brown. He emphasizes, from visibility and toxicity points of view, phenolic is the best and Mr. Forsdyke says, there is no question, passenger's lives are No. 1 issue, material recycling is not No.1! not No.1!
