Although the accident rate is lower than the road tunnel, fire in railway tunnel can bring large damage of human life. In the high speed railway tunnel, the possibility of the railway-disaster (fire) is growing in consideration of the speedy railway and the tunnel length. For that reason, MLTM (Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs) published "Rules about the Safety Standard of Railroad (2005.10.27)" and "The Detailed Safety Standard of Railroad (2006.9.22)". According to those, QRA(Quantitative Risk Analysis) technique is recommended to be applied to railway tunnel design which is longer than 1km for assuring the safety function and estimating the risk. However, it is difficult to perform the disaster prevention design due to lack of the detailed standards about event scenario, fire intensity, incidence rate of accidents etc. Therefore, This paper introduces the case of tunnel design for disaster prevention of the Honam high speed railway including the detailed standards of QRA and reasonable safety facilities.

This study analyzed the effects of job stress and sleep disorders on sleepiness during the daytime for a night-shift urban railway crew. As a result of the analysis, measurements on a daytime sleepiness index were higher for the crew than those during other working hours, indicating that the degrees of sleepiness and drowsiness were severe. Afterwards, aromatic essential oils, which are generally known to help relieve sleep disorders and stress, were utilized to verify the effect on stress on night-shift workers. The experimental group treated with aromatherapy was found to show improved stress reduction and overall activity levels in the autonomic nervous system compared to an untreated control group. This study proves that night work by an urban railway crew negatively affects stress levels by increasing stress and negatively affects the autonomous nervous system, also showing that an aromatherapy treatment can be a good alternative to alleviate these conditions. The results of this study are expected to help prevent safety accidents by relieving the stress of nighttime workers.

Due to unprecedented extreme weather events such as global warming and climate change, many parts of the world suffer from severe pain, and economic losses are also snowballing. In order to address these problems, 'The Paris Agreement' was signed in 2016, and an intergovernmental consultative body was formed to keep the average temperature rise of the Earth below 1.5℃. Korea also declared 'Carbon Neutrality in 2050' to prevent climate catastrophe. In particular, it was found that the increase in temperature caused by greenhouse gas emissions hurts the environment and society as a whole, as well as the export-dependent economy of Korea. In addition, as the diversification of transportation types is accelerating, the change in means of choice is also increasing. As the development paradigm in the low-growth era changes to urban regeneration, interest in idle railway sites is rising due to reduced demand for routes, improvement of alignment, and relocation of urban railways. Meanwhile, it is possible to partially achieve the solar power generation goal of 'Renewable Energy 3020' by utilizing already developed but idle railway sites and take advantage of being free from environmental damage and resident acceptance issues surrounding the location; but the actual use and plan for these solar power facilities are still lacking. Therefore, in this study, using the big data provided by the Korea National Railway and the Renewable Energy Cloud Platform, we develop an algorithm to discover and analyze suitable idle sites where solar power generation facilities can be installed and identify potentially applicable areas considering conditions desired by users. By searching and deriving these idle but relevant sites, it is intended to devise a plan to save enormous costs for facilities or expansion in the early stages of development. This study uses various cluster analyses to develop an optimal algorithm that can derive solar power plant locations on idle railway sites and, as a result, suggests 202 'actively recommended areas.' These results would help decision-makers make rational decisions from the viewpoint of simultaneously considering the economy and the environment.

Measuring the track geometry of a high-speed railway is the most important task in track construction and track maintenance work. Measuring accuracy is particularly sign the formulation of the maintenance plan and in the assessment of the work quality, and because it can set the train speed limit. To determine the track geometry of a high-speed railway, it is important to use KNR's track recording coach (EM-120). According to the result of the spectrum analysis, noise near the 1-m wave band was found on the track recording data. A new filter was thus applied to remove the noise from the track recording data. A similar result can be acquired when this method is used in real track geometry.

In this study, it was sampling from heavy metal-contaminated soil with the waste in railroad workshop. And, the pollution concentration and analysis of particle-size distribution were conducted to design efficient purification process that it was aimed at high contaminated area, low contaminated area and samples containing waste foundry sand. But, it was the other signs of general soil contamination, as construction waste of waste concrete and waste wood, waste foundry sand, incinerator ash, etc is overall buried on the grounds. Thus, the common heavy metal purification technology has not decreased the pollution. However, heavy-metal contamination was reduced by magnetic separation utilizing the magnetic component of the mixed waste.

If the railways consisting of soil subgrade is applied to repetitive loading, elastic deformation and plastic deformation will occur at the same time. So the repeat traffic loading condition should be considered to predict the long-term deformation on railway roadbed. In this study, laboratory data from the repeated load triaxial tests and cylinder model test were used to predict accumulated settlement on railway foundation and results were analyed based on the nonliear models and stress state considered. It has proposed predict model using power function model on plastic settlement of roadbed materials.

In order to operate trains both mainline railroad platform and metropolitan subway line platform, it is necessary to develop the doorstep equipment of the rolling stock regardless of low(500mm, mainline) and high level platforms(1,135mm, metropolitan subway line) because of the requisite door safety system. In this study, two different types of platforms were examined. On closer examination, it seems that the conceptual design is suitable for telescopic sliding type doorstep equipment to minimize damage to the carbody underframe of railway vehicles and can also minimize the variation of the distance between the railway platform. Furthermore, the operation process and control flowchart of doorstep equipments by stages are proposed by various performance requirements.

일반적으로 자기부상열차는 고속, 내구성, 안전성 등을 만족하는 가장 적합한 시스템 중 하나로 부각되고 있다. 300[km/h] 이하의 중저속 자기부상철도의 경우, 추진용으로 선형유도전동기가 사용되고 있으며, 초고속 자기부상철도의 경우, 선형유도전동기보다 고효율, 고출력의 특성을 가지는 선형동기전동기가 사용되고 있다. 한국철도기술연구원에서는 2008년도부터 700[km/h]급 초고속튜브열차용 선형동기전동기연구를 시작하였으며, 추진/부상 일체형 권선형 선형동기전동기연구를 수행하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 초고속튜브열차용 선형동기전동기 연구의 일환으로, 축소형 영구자석형 선형동기전동기(PM-LSM)의 수학적 방법에 의한 기본설계를 수행하였으며, 이를 이동자만을 고려한 자기등가회로법을 이용하여 권선형 선형동기전동기(EM-LSM)로 변환 설계를 수행하였다. 또한 설계된 PM-LSM과 EM-LSM 모델의 FEM 해석을 이용한 특성 분석을 통하여 본 논문에서 제안한 변환 설계기법의 정확도 검증 연구를 수행하였다.

The Bimodal Tram being developed in Korea is a new transit system that provides both benefits of rail and bus systems in terms of accessibility and fixed time schedule. This study accomplished a feasibility study for introducing the Bimodal Tram system by considering the travel demand and existing transit system at a city level based on its population. The feasibility of Bimodal Tram system varies depending on cities with respect to demographic scale, mode shares, and operational distances. The strategies introduced here will help any cities where transport agencies are trying to introduce the Bimodal Tram as a new transit system.

일반적으로 국내의 대부분의 전기철도는 단상 교류식이므로 전력계통의 3상 154[kV]을 스코트 변압기를 통해 단상 55[kV]로 변환하여 단상 교류로 공급받는다. 전기철도는 기동 특성 및 제동 특성에 따라 부하의 급증과 급감, 임의의 한 급전 구간 내에 운행 일정 중복으로 다수의 전기철도 차량이 운행될 경우 상호간 전기적 특성이 수시로 변한다. 이와 같은 전기적 특성이 수시로 변하는 전력량은 스코트 변압기에서 전력량을 측정하게 된다. 스코트 변압기 1차측 3상 전력이 2차측 단상 전력으로 변환하는 전기기기이며, 전동차가 제동시 회생전력이 발생되는데 이로인해 스코트변압기의 1차측과 2차측 위상이 다르게 발생되어 계량오차가 발생되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 계량오차의 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 스코트 변압기 2차측 기준으로 전압과 전류의 위상차를 계산하여 회생전력과 수전전력을 정확하게 계량하여 오차를 판단하고 보정하는 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다.
