대형역이나 교차역의 경우 스케쥴 혼란이나 역구내운행열차의 본선진로 방해유발작업으로 인한 선로나 홈의 점유계획 변경이 빈번하게 일어나며 이를 최단시간에 최적으로 조정함으로써 열차 및 관련인원의 안전을 확보하고 운행시간을 단축하며 역의 자원을 낭비 없이 사용할 수 있는 시스템의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 현재의 집중제어체계와 병용이 가능한 자율분산형 열차트래픽제어 체계와 향후 개발방향을 제시한다.

The urban railways connecting between the inner city and suburb of Seoul metropolitan area, has lost the competitiveness against cars because too many stops deteriorated operating speed and passenger's level of service. This paper suggests that an express train should be introduced into the urban railway system in order to sort out such a complication. There are two considerations in the present study. Firstly, train schedule problem should be taken into account. In this regard, a new model for urban railway system was developed by revising the existing models dealing with single line freight railway. Approximate branch and bound algorithm based on conflict group rather than a single conflict was adopted. Consequently, it was found that the time saving in calculating the optimal schedule is the most meaningful contribution of the algorithm. The second consideration is associated with the application of the model. A case study was carried out using the actual operation data from Ansan line. In conclusion, the operation speed of the line can increase considerably with minimal number of new sidings.

Line capacity of railways is a core criterion to decide maximum trips in accordance with traffic demand and a priority in railway investment to improve transportation capability. Particularly, because two operators will start revenue services in the HSR from mid-2016, the line capacity should be carefully calculated and controlled to avoid conflicts between the maximum number of KTXs, and the number needed to guarantee the effective competition of the operators. Meanwhile, there have been many arguments about calculating the line capacity, because this number is affected by the number of trips by train types, stopping pattern and dwell time in each station, journey time, crossing or passing, safety headway between trains, etc. To deal successfully with these kinds of problems, this study proposes a simulation method to calculate the line capacity that considers train operation according to the operator's service policies.

Railway schedule is periodically modified so that it could yield more profit by means of adjusting the schedule to demand. Most of related works are applicable under the given demand, but did not deal with dynamic relation between demand and schedule. To our knowledge, the methodology considering the relation is only the profitability evaluation model developed by SNCF. Our study suggests how to adjust the schedule to demand and therefore obtain more benefits using the profitability evaluation model.

In express operation plans for urban trains, it is effective for the reduction of the number of sidetracks to apply a high performance train that has improved acceleration/deceleration ability and a regular train to local and express trains, respectively. In this research, based on a plan to use a high performance train for a local train, an optimization methodology is suggested to reduce the number of sidetracks and the operation time of the local train simultaneously. The optimization solver applied in this research is a genetic algorithm; headway, location of sidetrack and waiting time at the sidetrack are considered as design variables in the optimization problem. Consequently, by applying this system to Seoul metro line no.7, the effect of the suggested methodology was verified by obtaining the proper optimum solution.

철도에서 선로용량은 선로의 신설이나 개량 또는 열차운용을 위한 스케쥴 작성에서 필수적인 용량한계의 측도 이다. 특히 선로를 신설하거나 개량할 때 선로용량은 주어진 사업비에 대해 각각의 안을 비교해 볼 수 있는 중요한 측도 이다. 이 논문은 기존의 선로를 개량하고자 할 때, 사용할 수 있는 선로용량의 거시모형을 제시하고자 한다. Jan C. Fransoo(2000)는 이 분야에 대한 선행연구를 수행한바 있다. 여기서는 네덜란드의 선로를 대상으로 2가지 속도종별의 선로용량에 대한 해석적 모형을 제시하였다. 이 논문에서는 선로용량의 모형을 3가지 이상의 속도종별에 대해 고려하는 연구결과를 제시한다.

Recently, the city railway in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) has offered a low quality of service as a passage time, because it was operated slowly. So, the people who live in modern society are not satisfied about passage time, therefore, this study tried to make that the subway in the SMA becomes a more functional and effective wide-area-transportation-network through an express train introduction's method which examined cases from abroad and current system. and then presented how express train could be applied to current system. In a case study, We used the An-San Line and Su-In Line as a examples and developed a schedule which can minimize the delaying time of subway by using Branch & Bound Algorithm. The train operational plan was loaded to consider a railroad siding, Obtained site, and the dispatch interval(three to ten minutes) for the express and local lines and finally, We presented an alternative operational plan which made by those factors.
