LRT System Application Project is performed for the purpose of technical advancement and stabilization of K-AGT system from the viewpoint of practical use and commercialization. For those purpose, the performance test and evaluation procedure for signaling system have been developed, including the scheme of verifying the performance and function of signaling system under driverless multiple train operation environment. In this paper, multiple train operation scheme in K-AGT test line is presented. Test schemes for maintaining the safety distance between trains, operation scenario considering shunting and turning of train, and dia operation schemes in test line are reviewed while researching test vehicle features, route condition and running pattern. Additional equipments for testing each scheme are also reviewed.

Korea Railroad Research Institute developed the driverless rubber-tired Korean-AGT system from 1999 to 2005 and has done its performance and reliability tests on the test line at Gyeongsan-city. We made the reliability management program to control required the RAMS(reliability, availability, maintainability & safety) of the K-AGT system. Therefore, we demonstrated the development and application of Reliability DB program. The main functions of K-AGT Reliability DB program manages failures and maintenance data systematically from the test line through test period and provides various analysis results based on the inputted data.

Trains in LRT(Light Railway Transit) system usually have shorter car length than metro's because of their smaller passensers demand. Therefore it is very likely that the load condition of LRT system in abnormal operation, in case of which trains are in close proximity by system broke or train rescue works, could be worse rather than in normal operation, in spite of rare probability of abnormal operation. In this study, the target reliability indexes of several abnormal operations are estimated in accordance with the occurrence probabilities of each abnormal operation case and the reliability index of normal operation presented by the specification. From the indexes, load factors for the abnormal operation cases are estimated and the safety evaluation is performed for Yong-in LRT project.

Recently, advancements in railway system and IT have enabled automatic or driverless train. Futhermore, developed countries have been tried to develope unmaned operation system for railway system. To apply manless operation in railway system, development of simulator for manless operation is required. The advantage of the simulator is in that it makes it possible to analyze the systems behavior. In this paper, we define system requirements and functionalities, and establish the system scenarios to handle the various accidents/faults in manless operation environment. We expects the proposed system requirements and system scenarios will playa key role to establish the man less operation in advanced urban transit system.

The personal rapid transit (PRT) system is a small scale transportation system that employs a novel concept to solve the traffic congestion problem in the city area. The PRT system is a driverless on-demand system that a passenger calls a vehicle rather than waits for the vehicle. Therefore, one of the most important issues in the PRT system is how to control the vehicle with the satisfaction of the basic concept of the PRT system. In this paper a computer simulator is introduced to evaluate the vehicle. operational control algorithm of the PRT system. The. computer simulator has the commercial embedded processor boards that operate in the real time operating system and pre-designed vehicle control algorithm is coded into the processor boards. The experimental results present the effectiveness of the proposed evaluation apparatus.

Korea Railroad Research Institute (the following 'KRRI') built AGT test line in Gyeong San-city, Kyongsang-bukdo province, Korea on August, 2004. This test line is exclusively used for the test of the driverless rubber-tired AGT system, and applied with research result of AGT System Development Project like vehicles, power supply, control and signaling, track and infrastructure system. The test line is available for the test of rubber tired AGT system's performance, function, safety. In this paper, we described the operation system of test line for the test of performance, safety, reliability, and also system operation in emergency. Finally we present the operation result of test line.

Automatic Guided Vehicle Systems feature battery powered driverless vehicles with programming capabilities for path selection and positoning. Vehicles serve the machines in shop, following a guide path system installed on the shop floor. The basic problem in the system is to determine a fixed set of vehicle routes of minimal total distance(time) while keeping capacity and distance(time) constraints. In this paper, a heuristic algorithm is presented for scheduling the automatic guided vehicles. The algorithm routes the machines based on their distances and polor coordinate angles, taking into account the structural feature of the system. Computational experiments are performed on several test problems in order to evaluate the proposed algorithm. Finally, a framework for dealing with the case where supplies from the machines are probabilistic is described.

주요 대중교통 수단에 있어서 승객의 서비스 질 향상을 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 국내외적으로는 UIC, ISO, KS등에서 규격으로 제시되고 있으며 이에 부합하기 위한 일련의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 현재까지 국내에서는 무인 운전시스템이 없어 승차감 등은 운전자의 운전 조작의해 판단하였으나 무인 운전되는 고무차륜 AGT 경량전철 시스템을 개발함에 따라 ATO측면에서의 제어가 중요하게 부각되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고무차륜 AGT 경량전철 시스템에 최초로 CBTC 을 적용하여 무인운전의 과정을 기술하였다.
