To consider the effects of the increasing speed of next-generation high-speed trains, the existing traffic safety code for railway bridges needs to be improved. This study suggests a numerical method of evaluating the new effects of this increasing speed on railway bridges. A prestressed concrete (PSC) box bridge with a 40 m span length on the Gyeongbu track sector is selected as a representative example of high-speed railway bridges in Korea. Numerical models considering the inertial mass forces of a 38-degree-of-freedom train and the interaction forces with the bridge as well as track irregularities are presented in detail. The vertical deflections and accelerations of the deck are calculated and compared to find the new effects on the bridge arising with increasing speed under simply and continuously supported boundary conditions. The ratios between the static and dynamic responses are calculated as the dynamic amplification factors (DAFs) under different running speeds to evaluate the traffic safety. The maximum deflection and acceleration caused by the running speed are indicated, and regression equations for predicting these quantities based on the speed are also proposed.

Railway system is consisted of various resources such as rail-line, signal, and railcar. It is necessary to efficiently utilize these limited and expensive resources as much as possible up to given line capacity. So far, we treat the line capacity as the criteria for evaluating investment alternatives or for restricting train frequencies, and this criteria is calculated statical and experimental numerical formula. But, line capacity has special attribute that changes dynamically according to operational conditions, so there is a need of new line capacity estimation system. In this paper, we present an improved systematic line capacity model. The proposed model has three main components ; TPS(lain performance simulator), PES(parameter evaluation simulator), LCS(line capacity simulator). The concept of each sub-component is described, including the evaluation method of capacity parameters. And capacity parameter evaluation and estimation results using sample line section data are presented.

The safety of tilting train running on curved track is, in general, evaluated with a derailment coefficient calculated by the ratio of wheel load and lateral force, Particularly on curve, the wheel load and lateral force on rail may cause trackbed to be deformed, depending on their intensity, and moreover, often result in critical accident such as derailment. This study hence was intended to identify the cause of wheel load and lateral force so as to suggest the allowable wheel load reduction rate, lateral force limit and derailment coefficient, thereby quantitatively evaluating the operational safety of tilting train. This study therefore was aimed to analyze the wheel load and lateral force occurred during tilting train's operation on circular curve in such a way of comparing with traditional trains, by axle and speed, in a bid to eventually evaluate the operational safety of tilting train.

The recent development of Sensor technology has broadened its applications to many fields of industry including railroad. The sensor technology enables the railroad system to monitor and control. This paper suggests the sensor based system design for evaluating and improving the reliability and safety of the ICT system. For this purpose, the reliability and the level of safety integrity of a general gateway have been predicted quantitatively and the supplementary design has been proposed for RAMS improvement. RAMS requirements for each life cycle stipulated in IEC 62278. RAMS activity is capable of producing significant and effective reductions in operation costs and time.

The traffic culture index is used as a major index in evaluating the traffic safety services of local governments and also serve as important data for the planning and implementation of traffic safety services. However, as the traffic culture index gradually became a standard for comparison among local governments, in part, certain cases arose which questioned the grounds for selecting variables for the index and the validity of the index in terms of its influential relationship between evaluation items. This study analyzed the index's influential relationship by utilizing a PLS structural equation model based on the evaluation results of the 2011 traffic culture index. A variable-linking model was created which recognized the relativity taking into account of the indirect effects between latent variables and this model was proven to be a model suitable in explaining the traffic culture index with a 97.8% explanation power. It was found that traffic safety(0.530), driving behavior(0.527), pedestrian behavior(0.187) and vulnerable road users(0.147), in such order, had an effect on the traffic culture index. It was also found that human casualties due to traffic accidents under "traffic safety" and traffic light compliance rate under "driving behavior" had an important effect. The study showed that motor vehicle share in illegal parking in school zones did not have a valid explanation power regarding "vulnerable road users".

철도교량은 차량과 교량의 상호작용에 의해 유발되는 동하중을 받고 있다. 이러한 동적인 효과는 교량 각 부재에 충격과 피로를 유발하고, 교량의 잔존수명에 영향을 미치게 된다 따라서 수치적 또는 시험적 방법에 의한 교량의 실제적인 동적 거동을 분석하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 KTX 차량의 주행에 따른 교량의 동적 특성을 구조적 안전성, 주행 안전성 및 승차감 측면에서 평가할 수 있는 차량/궤도/교량 상호작용 해석프로그램을 개발하였다. 차량/궤도/교량의 실질적인 모델링을 위하여 차륜/레일 접촉 모델링을 위한 헤르찌안 스프링 및 도상에 대한 윈클러 요소를 적용하였다. 또한 개발 프로그램은 준3차원해석으로 차량의 복선제도 주행에 따른 3차원 편심 효과를 고려하기 위해 비톤 자유도 및 기하학적인 관계에 따른 제약조건식을 사용하였다. 개발프로그램의 검증을 위해서 고속철도교량중 가장 일반적인 형식인 PSC 박스교(2@40m=80m)에 대해 수치해석결과 및 계측시험 결과를 비교하였다.

새로운 운송시스템은 기술개발뿐 아니라, 경제성 확보가 필수적인 요소이며, 튜브운송시스템은 현재 개발 초기 단계로서 다양한 기술이 제안피고는 있으나 세계적으로 상용화된 사례는 없는 실정이다. 따라서 튜브운송 시스템의 개념설계 단계에서부터 경제성을 고려한 성능조건을 설정하고 이를 설계 요구조건에 반영함으로써 사회적으로 유의미한 기술의 개발이 가능할 것으로 생각된다. 국내에서 과거 대중교통문제를 해결하기 위하여 신 교통수단을 도입하였으나 도입당시 기술적 문제 및 경제성을 고려하지 않음으로 경쟁력 있는 교통수단이 되고 있지 못한 실정이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 튜브운송시스템의 개념설계를 위한 설계 요구조건 확립을 위하여 경제성을 고려한 튜브운송시스템의 성능조건을 도출고자 하였다. 이에 우선적으로 타당성 분석방법론을 검토하고 이에 따른 비용/편익을 산출하였으며 수단간 비교분석 및 사례분석을 통하여 화물운송을 위한 튜브운송시스템 최소 성능조건을 도출하였다.
