It is widely recognized that train Is one of the most efficient and convenient ways for passenger and freight transportation. However, the environmental noise problem is occurred with the construction and service of train. The noise problems caused by train prevent people from living in a silent environment. Furthermore, this problem is related with the right to preserve one's environment. The objectives of this research are train noise measurement and analysis which might be a base-study for prediction of train noise. This paper mainly deals with the noise of the 'Semaul' train. The train noise shows distinct characteristics according to the variation of height and distance. Furthermore, the database and its interface program are developed for systematic analysis and future research.

열차운용이라 함은 열차의 출발과 도착 시간을 나타내는 열차번호들에 여러 객차들로 구성된 하나의 열차를 일컫는 열차 다이아(train DIAgram)들을 여러 제약조건을 고려하여 배정함으로서 열차 번호가 열차 다이아에 의해 운행될 수 있도록 열차운용 다이아를 작성하는 작업이다. 이러한 작업을 다수의 스케줄링 전문가들이 스케줄링 할 경우 많은 시간과 노력을 감수해야만 하며, 전문가의 실수로 인해 오류가 발생할 가능성이 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 복잡한 스케줄의 특성상 운용 비용이 적게 드는 스케줄 결과를 이끌어 내기가 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 열차운용 시스템을 구성하기 위해서 현재 철도청에서 사용하는 시스템을 분석하여, 열차운용 스케줄링 시스템을 모델링 하였고, 이에 모델링한 시스템을 바탕으로 CSP(Constraint Satisfaction Problems: 제약조건 만족 문제) 해결 기법을 적용하여 계산시간 및 계산 복잡성 면에서 효율적인 스케줄링을 행함과 동시에 비용 최적 함수를 적용함으로서 열차 운용 비용이 최소가 되는 열차운용 스케줄링 시스템을 구현하였다. 더불어, 시스템모델 검증과정의 하나로 과거 운용되었던 새마을호 열차시간표와 열차 데이터를 사용하여 열차 운용 및 운용 비용의 최적화를 실험하였다.

경부고속철도의 개통과 함께 서울-부산 간 운행시간이 새마을호 기준 4시간 30분에서 2시간으로 단축되는 등 획기적인 시간 절감을 이루었으나 이는 고속철도가 운행되는 지역에 국한된 것이다. 이에 고속철도 비 수혜지역의 운행시간 단축을 위해 기존선 속도향상이 요구되며, 이러한 목적으로 한국철도기술연구원에서는 틸팅열차를 개발하여 시운전 10만Km를 목표로 시험운행중이다. 또한 한국철도공사에서는 이와 유사한 목적으로 기존선 신호시스템인 ATS 시스템을 차상신호시스템(ATP)으로 개량하는 사업이 추진되고 있다. 현재 틸팅열차에는 기존의 ATS(자동열차정지장치) 차상장치만을 장착하여 차량의 성능 확인을 위한 시험 및 시운전을 우선적으로 추진하고 있는 상태이며 이러한 ATS 차상장치는 160km/h 이하의 속도에서만 본연의 기능이 유지되고, 그 이상의 속도에서는 현실적으로 사용이 어렵기 때문에 틸팅열차의 목표속도인 200km/h에서 적합하게 시험하기 위해서는 적합하지 않다. 따라서 한국철도공사에서 추진하고 있는 ATP 구축사업의 지상설비와 연계될 수 있는 ATP 차상장치를 설치하여 시험을 하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위한 틸팅열차와 ATP 차상장치와의 인터페이스에 대해 연구하였다.

As sustainable growth has been emphasized in the field of transportation, the railway system has been promoted as an environmentally-friendly transport mode. However, mode shifts from other transport modes to railway have been sluggish. In this context, to enhance the understanding of railway's competitive advantages and disadvantages, this research evaluates travelers'preferences for public transport modes for inter-regional trips: such understanding should make it possible to formulate effective policy for promoting railways. To this end, passenger recognition of competitive transport modes has been measured by applying multidimensional scaling analysis for six major inter-regional public transport services - KTX, ITX-Samaeul, Mugunghwa-ho, premium express bus, general express bus, and airline. As a result, we can conceptualize the recognition similarity in two-dimensional space, and understand how travelers perceive the six major transport modes.

This study is a fundamental research to suggest a forecasting model for short-term railway passenger demand focusing on major lines (Gyeungbu, Honam, Jeonla, Janghang, Jungang) of Saemaeul rail and Mugunghwa rail. Also the author tried to verify the potential application of the proposed models. For this study, SARIMA model considering characteristics of seasonal trip is basically used, and daily mean forecasting models are independently constructed depending on weekday/weekend in order to consider characteristics of weekday/weekend trip and a legal holiday trip. Furthermore, intervention events having an impact on using the train such as introduction of new lines or EXPO are reflected in the model to increase reliability of the model. Finally, proposed models are confirmed to have high accuracy and reliability by verifying predictability of models. The proposed models of this research will be expected to utilize for establishing a plan for short-term operation of lines.

A series of filed tests have been performed to investigate the aerodynamic effects on platform of the railway station during the passage of train that can be unpleasant and even dangerous to the pedestrians. To assess the aerodynamic effects on the platform, two aerodynamic properties has been measured; one is the wind gust induced by the train and the other is the pressure pulses generated when the nose and the tail of train passes. To measure these aerodynamic properties during the train passage, an array of hot-wire type anemometers and several sets of pressure transducers have been used, respectively. This paper deals with the filed test on conventional railway at about 100km/h operational speed, in which total 34 measurements has been made at the Bugok station in Seoul-Busan line for Saemaul-ho and Mugungwha-ho train. The results showed dramatic differences in the aerodynamic features between the two trains that are supposed to originate from the contrasting nose shapes of the trains.

About 91.1% of Railway-Highway Crossings (RHC) in Korea use a Constant Distance Warning System(CDWS), while about 8.9% use a Constant Warning Time System(CWTS). The CDWS does not recognize speed differences of approaching trains and provides only waiting times to vehicles and pedestrians based on the highest speed of approaching trains. Under the CDWS, therefore, low speed trains provide unnecessary waiting times at crossings which often generates complains to vehicle drivers and pedestrians and may cause wrong decisions to pass the crossings. The objective of this research is to improve the safety of the RHC by developing accurate a CWTS. In this research a train speed and location detection system was developed with ultra sonic detectors. Locations of the detectors was decided based on the highest speed and the minimum warning time of Saemaul of 160 km/h. To validate the algorithms of the newly developed systems the lab tests were conducted. The results show that the train detection system provides accurate locations of trains and the maximum error between real speeds of trains and those of the system was 0.07m/s.

Though the Platform Screen Door System (PSD) has received a positive evaluation and is installed in all the Urban Railroad platforms, PSD is not installed in the Intercity Railroad platforms. The limitation of PSD in the Intercity Railroad platforms is due to the fact that first, various types of trains such as KTX, Saemaeul, Mugunghwa, and Nuriro stop at the platforms and their locations of the doors are different and secondly, they are not operated under ATO (automatic train operation). RPSD system currently under research and development, on the other hand, is based on the improved door that slides up and down and can be installed in any Intercity Railroad platform regardless of the length of the train, the location of doors, and the number of doors. This study considers the mechanism of RPSD, develops a manual open/close algorithm, and evaluates the function of RPSD. The results show that the manual open/close algorithm achieves a significant improvement in efficiency when provided with power supply.

This study suggests direct connection service which has advantage of high-speed operation of KTX and access convenience of general train, and Pre-feasibility studies on the direct connection service. And analyze transportation demand change by the method as follows; It is to analyze the demand change of before and after KTX operation by previous transport data of Gyeongbu line, and calculate the coefficient of utilization using triggering demand by opening the 2nd phase of Gyeongbu line (Dongdaegu${\sim}$Busan). Through Pre-feasibility analysis, reduction $70{\sim}100$ minutes of train travel time and total revenue will increase about $100 thousand per day. Also, there will be environment-friendly effects of decreasing $CO_2$ emissions. But, Direct connection service need to highly cost ; Buying and Operation cost of KTX train. Therefore, we will be get more correct result of Pre-feasibility study on direct connection service, if there are concrete on buying the KTX action plans.
