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.

According to the national railway safety plan 1 billion US$ have been invested in railway industry every year. As a result, railway accident rate has been reduce to half recent 6 years. Currently, Korea has 3 kinds of national railway safety target, which are accident fatalities, train accident rate, and passenger fatality per passenger kilometer. Increase of railway passengers and train operating companies force to set up new safety target. Current safety target cannot reflect train operator's safety activities because they include suicide and trespass related accidents, which are hard to be controlled by the operators. In order to reflect to the national railway safety plan, new safety targets are proposed in this study.

In Seoul, the subway system has been in use since 1974 and is the most frequently used travel mode accounting for approximately 40% of passenger journeys in 2015. As such the subway system is widely adopted by people and therefore, can have great impacts on their everyday life. However, it is easily noted that transit resources are not distributed spatially uniform, in other words, not all parts of the city gain the same benefits from their networks. This study aims to examine the inequity of spatial distribution of subway networks based on accessibility. Accessibility of subway networks are calculated based on the time-distance between stations and then equity is measured using the Gini index. Resulted map of subway accessibility shows that the benefits are not evenly distributed in Seoul with a pattern of highly accessible core - less accessible periphery areas. Also the subway accessibility network has fairer distribution against the employees' distribution rather than the distribution of general population or possibly transit dependent groups.

In this paper, the inductive power collector using electromagnetic induction for vehicle such as the electric railway vehicle system is suggested and some ideas for power collector design to improve the power transfer performance are presented. The inductive power of secondary part is related to amount of linked flux to secondary part by the length of air-gap, which is expected by such a system parameter as mutual inductance. This paper will study for the transfer characteristic of power from input to output and equation including mutual inductance.

Recently as increasing the amounts of cargoes and passengers, it is necessary to improving railway capacity and speed. So the constructions of improving the existing railway line have been advanced. Sometimes the new railway tunnel is built to adjacent the existing railway line. Furthermore the new tunnel might be built near the existing facility within the tunnel width. In this case, it should be analyzed the influence of existing tunnel and if it is necessary, it should be taken the appropriate counterplan. The major analysis contents are follows. One is the influence on the existing tunnel by a blasting and train vibration and the other is stability problem of the existing tunnel by excavation of new tunnel. Therefore, we peformed the following analysis. Refer to a domestic and foreign standard and paper, the permitting level of blasting vibration is decided and the excavation plan of the new tunnel are designed. The numerical analysis is performed about the stability of the existing tunnel and new tunnel. The influence of the train vibration on tunnel is analyzed by the empirical equation.

With the development and generalization of internet and information technology, airlines has tried to reduce their business expenses and commissions to travel agencies and enhance service qualities through service automation and simplification, such as internet booking and ticketing, self check-in, in-flight internet and RFID for checked baggage. The statistical techniques conducted for this empirical analysis are frequency analysis, reliability analysis, factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. This research has tried to examine factors of airline e-services that influence on recommendation re-purchase intention and satisfaction. Results has found that only on-line reservation and ticketing factor had significant effect for recommendation and re-purchase intention and all e-service factors produced significant effect to total satisfaction. It was also recommend that airlines have to provide easy and more familiar e-service system to their passengers to deliver better services.

This study verifies the change in market conditions in the Korea-China and Korea-Japan car ferry routes. Variation in historical development has led to differences in the lifecycle stages of these two car ferry shipping markets. However, previous studies have focused on individual car ferry routes rather than offering a more general understanding of this market. Based on the foregoing, we investigate the international car ferry market conditions from/to Korean ports, assess the management performances of car ferry companies, analyze the lifecycle stages of each car ferry route, and offer insights into the future of these markets. We show that the competitive market conditions and demands of passengers and cargoes differ between these routes. As for the market stage, we conclude that the Korea-China route is entering a mature market, whereas the Korea-Japan route is entering a declining stage.

Ships are built according to the purpose and operated with individual goals. Operational goals are reflected in the design of the ships and become the main criterion for determining the required ship ability. In general, cargo ships and passenger ships are objectively evaluated in terms of the operation part of the ship and the capacity part of the cargo or passenger, centering on their transportation ability. In consideration of the required ship ability, the built ship can expect effects such as economic feasibility and eco-friendliness in addition to basic characteristics such as stability. Accordingly, the concept of ship ability is expected to be effectively used in the field of training-only ship management by each institution, which plays a pivotal role in training ship-officers. In this study, the basic direction was verified for the ship ability evaluation criteria of training-only ships through the analysis of the internal space of two training-only ships of the Korea Institute of Maritime and Fisheries Technology, which were recently built with a time lag. In the process of building training-only ship or general-purpose training ship, the possibility of using the ship ability standards in securing budget and designing was derived.

This research has developed the criteria and index for systematically and objectively assessing the quality of river water by fixing the various factors that affect Gyeongin ARA waterway's water quality through analysis with the Delphi Technique and analytic hierarchy program (AHP) Method. Based on the results, the highest criteria are, in order of importance, physical and environmental factors 28%, administrative factors 26%, natural fixed factors 26% and finally, cultural and social factors 20%. The three dimensions of the criteria show that for the internal physical and environmental factors, the most important are the loss of self-purification capacity, and the external factors are Gulpocheon and the sludge deposit due to Gyulhweon-weir the bridge. The facility factor in management was affected by the coagulation and waste water disposal facilities. The problem for the policy and institutional factors was seen in the regulatory area. The aquatic ecology/ point pollution source for the natural fixed factors show that it is due to the polluted water of Gulpo-cheon and the living environment/ non-point pollution source is shown through the inflow water from other rivers. Cultural and social factors show that the economical causes were due to the cargo and passenger flight operations and the external factors of having a lack of sewage treatment equipment have an importance effect. In order to estimate the order of priority through logical evidence and objectivity, future research must be continued on the evaluation indexes to measure the specific methodology and technique needed to improve the Gyeongin ARA Waterway.

Under the general maritime law, a life salvor has no claim against the person saved, and a pure life salvor has no right to compensation from the owner of the ship or its cargo. This harsh rule, which treats the salvor of life less generously than the salvor of property, has been modified by international conventions, statutes, so that life salvors may expect a reward in most cases. It is, especially, unreasonable that a prerequisite of a salvage award is that at least some of the property must be saved, because life of a person can not be compared to values of goods such as vessels and cargoes. Also it is not understandable that only pure life salvors can not expect a reward for the saving of life from the owners of the property. In the meantime, according to Article 39 of the Korean Maritime Search and Rescue Act (hereunder, KMSARA), any person who has gave assistance and rescued in accordance with a governmental officer's order may get a compensation for their time and labour. The above mentioned compensation which is stemmed from the KMSARA may play a role as a compliment for the lack of enough compensation to a life salvor. This means that even though a life salvor failed to save property, he may expect a minimum compensation from the KMSARA. However, it should be recognized that when a life salvor is entitled to both remuneration for the salvage of life and recourse of expenditures from the KMSARA, the total remuneration shall be paid only if and to the extent that such remuneration is greater than any reward recoverable by the salvor under the Korean Commercial Code and the KMSARA.
