Domestic urban railway are operated by urban railway operating public enterprises, which are owned by the 6 major metropolitan local governments and private operating companies, which are established under the Private Investment Act. Among urban railway operating companies, several public enterprises that operate urban railways with many experience, performance, human resources, and public nature are making efforts to promote overseas business. Therefore, this study examines the outlook for railway and urban railway overseas business, and provides implications for the overseas business approach of domestic urban railway operating public enterprises through data research and comparative analysis on the overseas business approaches and overseas business characteristics of domestic and foreign urban railway operating public enterprises. The results were derived and suggestions for the direction of overseas business were presented. I expect that suggestions will serve as a reference for domestic urban railway operators to promote overseas projects with preparation, implementation plan and direction.

This study analyzed the efficiency change and the factors affecting productivity change for the six railway operation corporations that are local public enterprises; study was performed with the DEA-CCR Model and Malmquist Productivity Index, using data collected from 2010 to 2014. Since it was not feasible to collect data on the operating expenses and the number of employees of each of the lines, the efficiencies of each operation corporation were analyzed by integrating the operation corporations, and the Malmquist Productivity Index was used to investigate the trend of the periodical productivity change. Average efficiency for urban railway operation corporations was found to be higher in the case of the bigger corporations. In 2014, the Seoul Metro and the Daejeon Metropolitan Express Transit Corporations were analyzed and found to be the most efficient operation corporations. The Malmquist Productivity Index was used to determine the periodical change; the average MPI was 1.06, with a continuous increase of productivity. The analysis showed that changes of technology were generally more obvious than change of technology efficiency for all six operation corporations.

Users of metropolitan railroad is increased continuously because of its various advantage such as comfortableness, convenience and punctuality. Thus, several local government including Seoul considered new installation or extension of railroads and four railroad operators maintain seventeen lines at present. After public transportation reforms in 2004 and integrated discount fare system in 2007, public transportation become more convenient in many aspects. However, these trials gives much more complex allocating problems of revenues among public transportation operators. In this paper, we deal with revenue allocating problems among public transportation operators after integrated discount fare system in 2007. Specifically, this study focuses on allocating revenues to metropolitan railroad operators by using RF card data. This research roughly proposes the methodology of O/D extraction from RF card data, generalized cost estimation and allocating revenue algorithm. We use RF card data in order to draw out exact individual O/D data and try to compare our results with those of Korea Smart Card Company. In generalized cost estimation, survey study about transfer factors is conducted for accurate estimation of generalized cost function. Lastly, new allocating revenue algorithm using k-path and non-dominated path concept is suggested. It is expected that case study is also performed with real revenues and O/D data in order to check up the application. Preposed methodology in this research can contribute to solve present and future revenue allocating issues according to the introduction of LRT and private railroad.

도시철도 운영기관에서 사용되는 감시카메라 및 센서의 수는 운영기관마다 수천 개 이상에 이르고 있으며, 그 수는 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 역사 시설뿐만 아니라 현재는 차량 내에도 카메라 및 센서를 설치하고 있거나 설치할 예정이다. 또한 도시철도의 안전에 대한 요구가 증대되면 될수록 이러한 안전설비는 증가할 수밖에 없다. 그러나 현재까지 이렇게 많은 곳에 설치된 카메라 및 센서들과 안전 설비를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 방안은 없다. 아직까지 폐쇄회로 텔레비전에 의존한 수동적인 감시체계에서 벗어나지 못하고 있으며, 각종 센서 등도 독립적으로 기능을 수행하고 있어 기능의 중복투자 및 비상시 종합적인 판단을 하기에는 한계를 가지고 있다. 또한 새로운 안전시스템과 기존 시스템과의 호환성 및 확장성 등에 문제를 발생시킬 수 있으며, 종합 관제실 등에서도 종합적인 판단을 실시하고 상황발생시 즉각적인 대응을 하는 데는 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 도시철도 운영기관별 정보통신시스템 현황 및 종합감시시스템 발주사양서를 비교 분석하여, 도시철도 종합감시시스템에 대한 표준규격을 도출하였다.

In this paper, we review the regulations relating to railway safety and station workers interviewed, eight urban rail accidents decreased operating agencies through the prevention research currently being conducted into the (Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation City, Seoul Metro, Incheon traffic mortality, etc.) the root cause for the lack of aggressive prevention measures performed on the difficulties related regulations, organizational culture and work environment, prevention of negative operating authority derived in three improvements were obtained through this direction. First proposed urban railway safety ever buy Conduct production, utilization and operating agencies college safety assistant suggests directions for safety training, organizational culture and work environment improvements in senior management. Finally, active accident prevention campaigns, and provide direction to increase the educational participation of guests. Improvement for such accidents would decrease is thought to play a role in the prevention of future operating agency established when the guidelines.

Generally, Urban railway have special characteristics with short distance journey and minimum headway intercity transportation. These days, urban railway operators choose the driverless operation system without driver. On the contrary, Conventional & high speed railway utilize for long distance and high speed running. Because of special conditions of freight railway operation compared with urban railway, operation of conventional & high speed railway is showed very different characteristics. In this paper, We compares different operation scheme of urban railway and conventional & high speed railway and then present condition for train control system based on radio.

Using data envelopment analysis, this paper annually estimates Malmquist total factor productivity indices and decomposes them into productive efficiency change, technical change, and scale change components for three publicly-owned rail transit properties: the Seoul Subway Corporation(SSC), the Seoul Metropolitan Electrified Railways Sector of Korea National Railroad (SMESRS) and the Busan Urban Transit Authority (BUTA). The paper then conceptualizes that the property produces a single output(car-kilometers) using four inputs(labor, electricity, car and maintenance, and track) and uses unbalanced panel data consisted of annual observations on SSC, SMESRS and BUTA. The results show that the average annual growth rate of productivity of the three properties is 6.6 percent, which is 0.5 percent less than the average annual increasing rate of their labor price. They also show that the greatest part of the growth in productivity is explained by technical change and to a lesser degree by scale change and changes in productive efficiency though each of the three components contributes more than 20 percent to the growth in productivity, These results suggest that the three properties should base the increasing rate of their wages on the growth rate of their productivity and utilize existing technologies more efficiently prior to introducing new ones to raise their productivity, and that all the three components should be considered to evaluate their productivity more correctly.

Seoul metropolitan public transport reform results in the introduction of the semi-public operation and distance-based fare policies. With implementation of these policies, public transport revenue allocation has been (will be) evolved very complicated because the existing revenue allocation issues have not only been clearly solved, which is generated by the combined relationship among Korea Railroad Corporation (KRC). Seoul Metropolitan Subway Corporation (SMSC). Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation (SMRTC), and Incheon Rapid Transit Corporation (IRTC), but also the revenue allocation problem between bus and urban railroad-related organizations need to be considered in this combined framework. On top of that. based on the future plans such as the private sector's railroad construction plan(s), the light rail transit construction plans of several local governments and the join of remained bus lines of Seoul metropolitan areas, it is understood that the revenue allocation among public transport operating organization will become one of main issues of operation organization as well as local and central governments. As a basic approach for revenue allocation of public transport operation organizations, the purpose of this paper is to propose an integrated model applicable to estimate degree of service contribution in passenger carriage in the combined public transport network. With a hypothesis that the complete electronic card system is deployed, this paper supposes every passenger's loading and alighting stations is recordable. Thereby, this paper limits research scope as to Seoul metropolitan railroad area since used route(s) between origin and destination stations can not be traceded because transfer stations each passenger path through is not recorded. Each model proposed in the paper is as follows: 1. a generalized cost reflecting passenger's transfer behavior; 2.a K path model for determining similar routes between O-D; 3.an assignment model for loading O-D trips onto the detected similar routes using Logit Model.
