The demand for an environment-friendly transportation system, equipped with low energy consumption, and low-or zero-pollution has been on the increase since the beginning of the World Trade Organization era. Simultaneously, the consistent growth of high-speed tram technology, combined with market share, has sparked a fierce competition among technologically-advanced countries like France, Germany, and Japan in an effort to keep the lead in high-speed train technology via extensive Research and development(R＆D) expenses. These countries are leaders in the race to implement the next-generation transportation system, build intercontinental rail way networks and export the high-speed train as a major industry commodity. The need to develop our own(Korean) 'high-speed train' technology and its core system technology layouts including original technology serves a few objectives: They boost the national competitive edge; they develop an environmental friendly rail road system that can cope with globalization and minimize the social and economic losses created by the growing traffic-congested delivery costs, environment pollution, and public discomforts. In turn, the 'G7 Project-Development of High Speed Railway Technology' held between 1996 and 2002 for a six-year period was focused on designing a domestic train capable of traveling at a speed of 350km/h combined and led to the actual implementation of engineering and producing the '2000 high-speed train:' This paper summarizes and introduces one of the G7 Projects-specifically, the design segment achievement within the development of train system engineering technology. It is true that the design aspect of the Korean domestic railway system program as a whole was lacking when compared with the advanced railroad countries whose early phase of train design emphasized the design aspect. However, having allowed the active participation of expert designers in the early phase of train design in the current project has led to a new era of domestic train development and the implementation of a way to meet demand flexibly with newly designed trains. The idea of a high-speed train in Korea and its design concept is well-conceived: a faster, more pleasant, and silent based Korean high-speed train that facilitates a new travel culture. A Korean-type of high-speed train is acknowledged by passengers who travel in such trains. The Korean high-speed prototype train has been born, combining aerodynamic air-cushioned design, which is the embodiment of Korean original design of forehead of power car minimized aerodynamic resistance using a curved car body profile, and the improvement of the interior design with ergonomics and the accommodation of the vestibule area through the study of passenger behavior and social culture that is based on the general passenger car.

철도차량의 동력원은 화석연료를 사용하던 디젤차량에서 최근 고속전철 및 도시철도차량, 경량전철 등 전기를 주 동력원으로 사용되고 있다. 철도차량에 전기를 공급하는 시스템은 일반적으로 개활지 등 지상구간에 적용되고 있는 가공전차선 방식과 지하구간, 터널 등에 적용되고 있는 강체가선방식 그리고 경량전철 등에 채용되고 있는 제 3궤조방식이 있다. 최근에는 일반적으로 지하구간의 가선시스템에 적용되던 T-Bar방식의 강체가선 방식에서 탈피하여 고속주행이 가능한 R-Bar방식의 강체가선 방식에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 최근까지 지하구간의 터널구조에서 강체전차선로를 급전시스템으로 채택할 경우 열차의 최고속도는 국내의 경우 90km/h, 국외의 경우 160km/h를 넘지 못하는 실정이었다. 그러나 이를 극복한 제품이 개발되어 열차운행 최고속도를 200~250km/h까지 향상시킬 수 있게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 최근 설계속도 250km/h 급 R-bar방식 강체전차선로 인터페이스를 위한 이선현상 모의 시뮬레이터 개념 설계에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 집전성능과 관계가 있는 전기철도차량 이선현상 요인 및 영향 분석하였으며 강체전차선로 운행에 따른 이선 등으로 인한 영향을 고찰하기 위해 이선 현상 모의 시뮬레이터 개념 설계에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

This paper describes the results of structural integrity and crashworthiness of Automatic Guideway Transit(AGT) vehicle made of sandwich composites. The applied sandwich composite of vehicle structure was composed of aluminum honeycomb core and WR580/NF4000 glass fabric/epoxy laminate composite facesheet. Material testing was conducted to determine the input parameters for the composite facesheet model, and the effective equivalent damage model fer the orthotropic honeycomb core material. The finite element analysis using ANSYS v11.0 was dont to evaluate structural integrity of AGT vehicle according to JIS E 7105 and ASCE 21-98. Crashworthiness analysis was carried out using explicit finite element code LS-DYNA3D with the lapse of time. The crash condition was frontal accident with speed of 10km/h at rigid wall. The results showed that the structural integrity and crashworthiness of AGT vehicle were proven under the specified loading and crash conditions. Also, the modified Chang-Chang failure criterion was recommended to evaluate the failure modes of composite structures after crashworthiness event.

Electrical Railroads provide electric power, which can operate vehicles, via feeder wires. And the supplied current returns to the transformer substation through lines and ground net. In domestic cases, the configuration of ground net affecting such a return current mostly uses an exclusive earth method. However, along with the introduction to Gyeongbu HSL(High Speed Line), the concept of Common Earth was applied to Electrical Railroads. In this paper, based on the return currents analyzed to be measured in the electrified sections for the operation of High Speed Rails in existing lines, we analyze the relations between earth methods and return currents in electrified sections. For analysis, we utilize the measured values of return currents measured in track circuits in Gyeongbu HSL, and predictive values of those compared to the earth methods between Gyeongbu HSL and the existing electrified sections.

The needs for Light Railroad Transit(LRT) have been increased due to the heavy traffic congestions in large cities like Seoul, Korea. Korean government is seeking the LRT system development (including planning, designing, construction, and maintenance and operations) in terms of public-private-partnership (PPP). At the private sector side, it is crucial to estimate the life cycle cost (LCC) to project the cash flow during the O&M period. Since the most construction and O&M cost of LRT project is at the bridge construction, a cost analysis model and a cost breakdown structures (CBS) on LRT bridges are discussed through in depth literature reviews. Construction and maintenance cost of bridges are collected and analyzed. LCC is analyzed by types of bridge superstructures and historical data of repair and rehabilitation (R&R) is investigated. There have been scarce number of LCC analysis on railway bridges. This research delivers a well-defined CBS and maintenance cost data, which will be a great benefit to the systematic maintenance strategy development for railroad bridges.

In this paper, we proposed pole position detection system for providing exact location information to users. The proposed system consists of pole recognition part and pole number recognition part. Above all, exact pole recognition is carried out by PDD(Pole Detection Device). And recognition of pole number is performed by PID(Pole Inspection Device). Acquired image by using line scan camera is judged whether it is free bracket or not through image processing. When it is judged as free bracket, pole number image is acquired by OCR camera and recognized by OCR. By recognizing pole number, exact location information is provided to user.

철도 신호제어장치들은 각자 고유의 기능을 수행하면서 각 장치간 통신링크를 통하여 하나의 신호제어시스템을 구성하고 있다. 특히 철도청에서 통합 CTC 시스템을 구축하면서 신호제어시스템 이외의 SCADA나 여객정보안내 시스템 등 외부설비들과의 인터페이스를 통해 기존의 열차제어 기능만을 수행하는 것에서 타 시스템과의 디지털 통신을 통한 종합적인 정보시스템으로 발전하고 있다. 이러한 CTC장치와 외부설비들간의 인터페이스는 철도정보시스템의 발달에 따라 매우 중요한 부분이 되고 있다. 또한 철도청의 주요 노선들이 전철화되어감에 따라 SCADA 장치의 중요성이 증가하고 있으며, 전차선의 가압상태를 CTC에서 파악하는 것은 열차의 안전은행에 있어서 매우 중요하다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 기존의 도시철도, 경부고속철도 등의 프로토콜의 분석을 바탕으로 철도청 통합 CTC와 SCADA 장치간 통신을 위한 프로토콜 구조를 제안한다.
