The viscosity drive method by the wheel which is widely used in the conventional railway systems needs a large friction force between the wheel and the guide-rail, which brings on a thrust force for a quick acceleration and a high-speed travelling. In addition, the viscosity drive method needs an increase of the vehicle weight for a large friction force. However, a maglev train is possible to be driven by the electro-magnet instead of the wheel, which produces a levitation and thrust force without any contact. In general, low-speed maglev train uses a linear induction motor(LIM) for propulsion that is operated under 300[km/h] due to the power-collecting and end-effect problems of LIM. In case of high-speed maglev train, a linear synchronous motor(LSM) is more suitable than LIM because of a high-efficiency and high-output properties. LSM has a driving principle as same as a conventional rotary synchronous motor(RSM), and the torque of RSM becomes the thrust force of LSM. A conventional LSM has relatively large air-gap compared with a conventional RSM. So, it must be achieved a design that is considered normal force by finite-asymmetric structure, end-effect on the entry and exit part, and support structure of a moving part. Therefore, in this research, authors accomplish a conceptualizing and basic design of a small-scaled LSM, and characteristics analysis using FEM.

Authors analysized transport policies of the European countries about the intermodal transport since 2002 and urban transport to add new ones to the Korean transport policies for the railway-oriented transport network. Now the Ministry of Korean transport tries to invest more than before in the railway to increase the speed of the conventional lines and to construct high speed lines. The Ministry also try to integrate ticketing and payment of urban public transport with a smart card nationwide.

Without any doubts, the characteristics of regional, lines and lines section have dominating effects on the railway design of rectification to linear alignment. There are basically many types of characteristics: a) geological condition b) operation plan of lines and lines section c) condition of lines facilities level. The conventional deign method were exclusively used to railway design and construction. However, lot the optimum design, the more detail study are required.

This primary study has some bounds md limits owing to the descriptive reviews but not detailed analyses. However, 1 tried to do the comparative analyses and case studies about location and size of rail station for future efficient use of spatial structure. Therefore, I reviewed the location of railway station and some design standards of railway station facilities by type (high speed rail, conventional rail and urban rail), and also, suggested future direction for rail station as the core of city development relating with urban structures and human settlement system reformation.

The railway system requires safety and reliability of service of all railway vehicles. Suitable technical systems and working methods adapted to it, which meet the requirements on safety and good order of traffic, should be maintained. For detection of defects, non-destructive testing methods-which should be quick, reliable and cost-effective - are most often used. Since failure in railway wheelset can cause a disaster, regular inspection of defects in wheels and axles are mandatory. Ultrasonic testing, acoustic emission and eddy current testing method and so on regularly check railway wheelset in service. However, it is difficult to detect a crack initiation clearly with ultrasonic testing due to noise echoes. It is necessary to develop a non-destructive technique that is superior to conventional NDT techniques in order to ensure the safety of railway wheelset. In the present paper, the new NDT technique is applied to the detection of surface defects for railway wheelset. To detect the defects for railway wheelset, the sensor for defect detection is optimized and the tests are carried out with respect to surface and internal defects each other. The results show that the surface crack depth of 1.5 mm in press fitted axle and internal crack in wheel could be detected by using the new method. The ICFPD method is useful to detect the defect that initiated in railway wheelset.

This paper was showed evaluation method and technical items for measurement test of new catenary system of Honam(Daejeon - Mokpo) conventional railway electrified. This line have tested by three type new electric rolling stocks in order to test construction quality and operation safety of a new catenary system with speed-up than conventional speed. We have some important experiences through measurement test of catenary system by new device installed on train roof.

In this study, a numerical method which assesses running stability of freight car loading 300m CWR and structural safety of conventional railway track when passing over curves and steel girder bridges is presented. Optimal speed of the freight car is suggest on the basis of numerical reviews for stability of derailment of the freight car and structural safety of track at weak points of the conventional line.

Like conventional railways, improving running performance of vehicle in curve is more effective than improving maximum speed to reduce traveling time. But some vehicles have problems concerning running performance in cure because of insufficient study for our conventional railway characteristics. So, these problems brought about increasement of maintenance cost. This study was started to deliberate several plans to solve problems concerning running performance in curve. Some modifications of primary suspension and tests were carried out to improve curve negotiation. Here, we describe some results.

The railway safety in Koreaisthreatenedduetotherestructuring of the railway industries, introduction of the Korea Train eXpress (KTX) and electrification of the conventional lines. Many technical backgrounds are required to control railway accidents as low as reasonably practicable, such as a railway safety act, safety standards, and safety assessment infrastructures. Korean government and the Korea Railroad Research Institute (KRRI) are conducting an integrated R&D program for improvement of the railway safety, where the target is to reduce the accident fatalities by half. The program is composed of three parts; the safety system engineering and the program management, the establishment of a safety management system, and the development of techniques for assessing and preventing major railway accidents. Details of the research programs are explained in this paper, where risk is used as the major control measure.

Rail network authority have to do the safety ensuring activities including the maintenance of railway facilities, integrated performance verification between the facilities and related lolling stock and safety inspections, etc. When constructing the new lines or upgrading the conventional lines, full system commissioning should be done before the revenue service with railway operator. To develop the optimal full system commissioning model, the status of domestic and foreign railway facilities and railway accidents are analysed and the problems of the safety management are derived. As one of countermeasures for the problems, the procedures and criteria for the full system commissioning are developed.
