The Advanced countries including Japan, USA and European countries are adopting automatic system(e.g., auto-measurement using CCD camera) for measuring pantograph sliding plate and wheel abrasion to minimize manpower for E.M.U(Electric Multiple Unit) inspection and maintenance as part of management rationalization of railroad Corporation since late 1980's. In Korea, as part of scheme of business rationalization, automatic system for measuring pantograph sliding plate and wheel abrasion started to draw industry attention since late 1990s, and the system started to be installed in newly built depots of Korea Railroad Corporation since 2002. This study hopefully provides the base for realizing business rationalization and applying the advanced technology developed by Korea, the country of powerful IT basis, to overseas railroad organizations by examining automatic system for measuring pantograph sliding plate abrasion using existing CCD cameras produced domestically and in foreign countries to study cases(organizations in Korea) for improvement of measurement, management and inspection of pantograph sliding plate abrasion using CCD cameras with new cutting-edge technology; and by applying the study result to railroad organizations in metropolitan areas in Korea.

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.

In this study, fatigue crack growth rate of a cracked railway bogie frame under variable amplitude loading is predicted by applying linear elastic fracture mechanics. For this purpose, we find the critical points by reference surveying on cracked railway bogie frames. And we make an effective load history by synthesizing the dynamic load measured from the critical points of railway bogie frame during commercial line operation and the static load calculated from structural analysis. Crack growth analyses are performed at the 3 critical points under the commercial operation loading condition by assuming an initial crack size as 40 mm. and the results are compared with the experimental results from Japanese railway bogie frame crack growth case. From the analysis results, we find that around 500,000 km operating distance is necessary to bring crack growth from the initial crack to unstable crack. And it takes around 3.8 normal operating years. We conclude that it is enough time to detect the crack between normal maintenance period.

In this study, regulation of the performance test load of a vibration-proof fastening system used in urban railways was established through evaluation of the loads that it bears in the field. In order to investigate the range of the dynamic stiffness of the vibration-proof fastening system, dynamic stiffness tests were carried out for three types of vibration-proof fastening system that can be domestically supplied. Train and track interaction analyses in the frequency domain were carried out to evaluate the dynamic wheel loads. The track irregularity, which is a very important input factor in train and track interaction analysis, was considered as a PSD (Power Spectral Density) function, which was derived based on the measured data. The loads on the vibration-proof rail fastening system were evaluated considering various operating conditions in the urban railway. Regulation of the performance test load of the vibration-proof rail fastening system was established based on the evaluated loads.

고속철도 운행, 도시철도 고밀도화, 무인자동운전의 경량전철 등 신교통시스템 도입 등 급변하는 철도환경에 따른 철도안전의 위험요인이 증가하고 있다. 국내 철도사고 사망자는 설비개량, 노후차량교체, 건널목입체화로 감소하고 있으나 10년을 주기로 대형참사가 발생하고 있으며, 철도관련 종사자의 안전의식이 낮은 수준이다. 이러한 대형참사의 발생을 방지하기 위하여 철도안전법이 제정되고 이의 효율적인 시행기반을 구축하기 위하여 철도시설안전체계 구축 및 기술분야별 안전기준을 개발하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 철도종합기술개발사업의 철도사고 위험요인분석(PHA : Preliminary Hazard Analysis)을 토대로 관계있는 위험원을 선정하였다. 또한 위험원에 의한 사고발생을 예방하기 위한 철도신호분야의 안전기준항목을 기술하였다.

When it comes to automatic operation control of urban rail vehicle, a PID control makes it run between stations within the fixed time and stop exactly at the stop sign on the platform, satisfying jerk limit. An optimal control is applied to automatic operation performance control to minimize energy consumption while the urban rail vehicle satisfies automatic operation condition on this paper. The control performance in terms of energy minimization along with the constraint on precision stops is compared between the optimal control and PID control.

The EMU of maintenance technique or system is changing on a large scale. To subway operation beginning the breakdown was born and every that time after the fact repaired. But, recently before the breakdown of the subway occurs, repairs in advance with the preventive maintenance concept which was exchanged. However, the preventive maintenance is to readjust, cleaning, tighten and the oil the repetition by the worker simple experience. This study on introduces the EMU of maintenance method which applies a automatic inspection equipment from the study contributing which develops the preventive maintenance system.

The purpose of this study is to analyze transport efficiency of each of the 17 urban railway lines being operated by national public agencies using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and to seek strategies for improving efficiency of the urban railway system. The study identified the economies of scale derived from these values of efficiency and examined the effects on cost for free ride loss and profit of transport by the fare system as the external factor. At the time, Transport profits are estimated by two production factors such as the number of vehicles and service frequency derived from multiple regression. Finally, the measures to improve the efficiency were presented in terms of profitability in the national urban railway line by applying the values of efficiency derived from DEA to multidimensional scaling (MDS).

The study presents a standard time-temperature curve to evaluate the fire performance of subway tunnel structures. The central subway section is 135km long in Korea, the fourth longest in the world. The number of subway tunnels has been increasing rapidly and fire risk is proportional to the tunnel length. However, an adequate time-temperature curve for subway tunnel fires does not exist. Therefore, we studied a proposed foreign fire design model for which the heat rate is based on the traffic, and we present an appropriate time-temperature curve for Korean subway tunnels. The ISO 834 curve was used as a fire design model and the temperature distribution in the tunnel was estimated using numerical analysis. This led to a proposal for effective measures against subway tunnel fires.
