최근 지구온난화 및 원유 공급 감소 또는 고갈로 에너지 효율성 높고 저탄소 녹색성장을 주도할 수 있는 철도산업에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 초고속 자기부상철도는 에너지 효율이 높은 경제적인 교통수단으로써, 단위 수송당(인-km) 온실가스 배출량이 자동차의 38%, 항공기의 17%에 불과하고, 같은 궤도운송시스템인 고속철도에 비해서도 77%에 불과하고 단위수송당 에너지 소비율이 항공기의 80% 수준에 불과하므로, 화석에너지의 고갈이 예상되는 미래에 장거리 고속 이동 수단으로써 중요성이 확대되고 있다. 또한, 비접촉 추진 방식이므로 바퀴 접촉식 고속철도에 비해서 유지보수 비용이 저렴하고(34%에 불과) 고속철도에 비해 10dB 이상 소음 발생이 적은 수명주기 비용 및 환경측면에서 기존 철도시스템에 비해서 경쟁력이 있으므로 시급한 개발과 활용이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 초고속 자기부상철도 연구와 관련된 국내외 연구동향과 함께, 국가연구개발사업으로 추진중인 초고속 자기부상철도 핵심기술개발사업에 대해 살펴보았다. 또한, 미래기술로 각광을 받고 있는 튜브트레인 기술에 대해서도 알아보았다.

최근 철도는 미래의 핵심교통수단이자 저탄소 녹색성장을 대표하는 교통수단으로 주목받고 있다. 그 중 자기부상열차는 바퀴 마찰에 따른 소음 진동 분진이 없는 차세대 교통수단이며, 이를 지지하는 구조물(교량)은 열차의 운행 안정성(동적거동)을 고려한 설계가 필요하다. 또한, 상부 구조물은 자기부상열차의 연행이동등분포하중을 지지하며, 이러한 하중조건을 갖는 차량이 운행할 때 상부 구조물은 설계기준사항들을 만족해야한다. 도시형 자기부상철도 토목구조물 설계기준에 의하면 도시형 자기부상철도의 운행 안정성(동적거동)을 평가하기 위한 항목들로 대상 구조물의 고유진동수, 승차감을 고려한 연직처짐 등이 요구된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 자기부상열차의 실 열차하중을 고려하여 연행이동등분포하중으로 철도교량의 동적거동을 검토하였으며, 설계기준을 적용하여 대상 철도 교량의 운행 안정성을 평가하였다.

철도물류에 대한 관심은 친환경 녹색성장과 효율성증대에 대한 요구와 관련하여 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 이러한 필요성에도 불구하고 도로중심의 화물운송체계로 인해 국내 철도물류의 현황은 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 철도 현황을 파악하고 Entropy-SWOT 방법을 이용하여 국내 철도 물류 활성화를 위한 방안을 연구하고자 한다.

Railroad is considered as an eco-friendly transportation mode because it emits lower greenhouse gases and air pollutants and consumes less energy compared to trucking. To promote rail freight, many countries have implemented various policies, while South Korea has implemented few substantial policies. This study aims to compare and analyze rail freight policies of various countries in order to suggest policy implications to South Korea. We analyze relevant policies of 9 countries; these are classified into 5 categories, and we provide policy implications for facilitating rail freight infrastructure and equipments, grants for the transportation cost using freight rail, and road freight restriction policy.

As the Kyoto protocol and Bali road-map, our country is expected to be included to the emission reduction controlled country of greenhouse gas, so we are now urgent situation to take an action in the level of government. In this research, environment friendly rail logistics and combined transport were treated to meet with the green growth policy of our government. Major problems of Ui-wang ICD suggested in this research are short of yards, unutilized public CY, inconvenience use by non-share holders. It is necessary to improve rail logistic infrastructure, that is, additional expansion of yard, direct operation by KORAIL and regular unloading system are needed. such improvement can not be solved just by the endeavor of business body. Rail logistic infra & Integrated freight terminal has a tendency of SOC, which require tremendous amount of investment, so there are some limit in doing by private sector itself, now it's time to do by the government level. The improvement of rail logistic infrastructure in the level of government is possible by the policy of environment friendly green logistic support which is related with Logistic Policy Basic Law, so government should prepare detailed directives to activate Integrated freight terminal.

This study is designed to provide a facilitation program of the railroad tourist business that the bicycle is connected with the railroad. The sustainable growth will be achieved thorough the green growth being able to coexist with environment. To deal with the transportation problems -the environmental pollution caused by a large number of cars and the energy depletion, the traffic congestion- in our society is the prerequisites for the green growth. There is the need focusing on the expansion of the green network and the policy implementation of utilizing the bicycle, the formulation of the social consensus for environmental preservation. This provides the opportunity that we create the customer values and reinforce the firm's competitiveness. This study is to propose the plan for accelerating the tourism business connected to the bicycle, and to contribute to the government policy, to boost the green image of the railroad. Approaching in the strategic way to increase the customer's value and environmental preservation, this study will contribute to providing high quality customer service for both of the business performance and the customer satisfaction.

As recent traffic policy focuses on reduction of congestion and environmental contamination, with a catch phrase, 'Green Traffic', Low Carbon Green Growth' and 'Sustainable Development', introducing the new eco-friendly transport means including railway has been emerging as critical issue. Included in the new transport means are BRT, Bimodal Tram and LRT, and this study was intended to evaluate and analyze Bimodal, among others, which generates less emission, noise and vibration thanks to hybrid type traction system employed by Bimodal Tram, which is considered a future-oriented system because of eco-friendly features and cost efficiency as well as punctuality and convenient accessibility to bus. Thus in this study, appropriateness of Bimodal Tram comparing to other system(BRT) was suggested, using conversion traffic from the road, traffic speed and CO2 emission at the metropolitan area and large provincial areas as the barometer in evaluation, and furthermore, the measures applicable to introduction strategy that will meet various functional aspects in urban area in the coming days were developed.

Rail transport has been considered an environmental-friendly transport mode compared with other transport modes such as ship, truck, and aircraft. However, air pollutions emitted by diesel locomotives have emerged as social issues. In addition, the railway industry may not be able to avoid a duty of alleviating greenhouse gases emission owing to the Korean government policies for green growth which is an economic paradigm that simultaneously pursues growth and environmental improvement. Moreover, rising oil prices has burdened a train operating company. The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology of determining an economical speed of diesel freight locomotive from the viewpoint of the train operating company. In the methodology, we first define an operational cost function based on various cost factors and then suggest formula to calculate an economical speed of diesel freight locomotive. To estimate the influence of cost factors such as diesel price, carbon taxes, and time costs on the speed of diesel freight locomotive, sensitivity analysis was conducted.

Recently, new climate change mechanism after 2020 year has been accepted with the parties, and so government is pushing ahead the GHG reduction policies to achieve the effective results. Especially, it is essential to enhance the role of railroad in the public traffic system as well as to develop new cars with high energy efficiency for the GHG reduction of transportation sector. Thus, the calculation method of GHG emission of railroad should be established to manage the emission continuously. In this study, the calculation method of GHG emission of railroad was defined with Tier level considering its emission sources to refer to 2006 IPCC guideline for national GHG inventories. Also, the GHG emission of railroad at Tier 1 level was investigated using the activity data related to the amount of diesel and electricity consumption from 2008 to 2010. As a result, total GHG emission in 2010 was about 2,060 thousands ton CO2e, which have 73% of electricity and 27% of diesel. In future, the plans on the GHG reduction of railroad will be accomplished by the analysis of the detailed trends on the basis of the emission management of Tier 3 level under operating patterns. Therefore, it is important to develop the specific GHG emission factors of railroad in advance.
