Purpose - In today's era of carbon neutrality, railways need to find ways to improve usability and efficiency. Accordingly, this study examines the effect of introducing express highspeed railways into the Korean public transportation system and suggests some practical guidelines. One concern in the Korea railway sector is that low scheduled speeds contrast with the highspeed railway system design. Research design, data, and methodology - Current literature and foreign cases are analyzed. Subsequently, using data from the Korean Railroad Research Institute, a benefit analysis is conducted based on expanded track capacity and the saving of time owing to the introduction of the express highspeed railway. Result - The express highspeed railway system is expected to increase the number of train lines from 262 to 348 and the scheduled speed from 168.3km/h to 192.2km/h. Considering reduced time value, the economic effect is about 80 million won per year. Conclusion - The findings suggest that the express highspeed railway is a promising option to improve efficiency and increase customer utility. This study contributes to the literature by initiating a discussion on the express system in Korea; practically, it offers railway operators guidelines for improving highspeed railway system efficiency that can be transformed into a variety of marketing options.

The reinforcing subgrade, which first introduced Korea for the highspeed subgrade construction, has the many advantages to maintain the quality of ballast track as well as to prevent the softening of subgrade by mud-pumping. It causes the subgrade soil to spout into the ballast on many lines. Therefore, the application of reinforcing subgrade will be expected to increase in the future. This paper introduces the reinforcing subgrade as a maintenance-free technology f3r the railroad operation and the method f3r the determination of reinforcing subgrade depth. The criteria on reinforcing subgrade depths of highspeed and conventional railroad were verified from the calculation results based on an elastic analysis method.

This Paper describes a characteristics of wheel wear of high speed train running on the conventional line. Conventional line has many curved tracks that cause severe wheel flange wear. The influences of lubrication, cant deficiency, owe radius on wheel wear are also described considering the operation performance of the highspeed trainset. A method of calculation using contact patch work model is presented far determination of the evolution by wear of railway wheels.

The research which sees accomplishes the capital region high-speed railway and examines investigates about process of railroad construction project and an advance service contents from to understand a progress process, change process and technical investigation of basic design and the execution plan at the time of route led and accomplishes the plan which is detailed the process which in the center researched. Also plan start method and application plan, clear the security of the plan air which is proper is necessary and dividing which design phase is, plan process construction etc. improvements sacrifice froze.

Calibration of the health monitoring system is considered in this study. For this, brief introduction on the realtime monitoring system, installed in some of the Korea Highspeed Railway bridges, is made and specifications of the calibrators are outlined. Calibration method is next explained for each sensor and detailed procedures are illustrated. Calibration results will be published elsewhere and modification of the gauge factors will also be investigated in detail.

The purpose of this study is to perform development of techniques for reduction of ground vibration caused by highspeed railway. At the first year, we have researched for the statically and dynamically characteristics of materials that could reduce the propagated ground vibration. The tire chip and blast furnace slag had been selected as the reduction material. And we have tested these materials by computer analysis.

Dynamic instability of the railway bridge can cause track irregularities and be directly connected with unstable passenger comfort and derailment of the train. Europe and Japan had studied on this problem for a long time since 1960's, Results of those studies are reflected in recent Eurocode and the bridge design code of Japanese railway bridges. However, even though some traffic safety requirements were applied in Kyoung-bu highspeed railway by French engineers, we experienced many difficulties from insufficient information of criteria background and application procedures. In this paper, a investigation of recent traffic safety requirements of Europe and Japan for railway bridges will be introduced and application procedures for the estimation of dynamic performance will be proposed.

The highspeed railway bridge which support continuous and high moving mass evalute the dynamic state and make the displacement of the bridge makes more or less, but up to this time the bridges are designed by the static design concept. for example when we design bridge we use impact factor, which only times the static load makes dynamic load. But becouse it simples. it can't express all of the effects. And so, in this report we study the modeling method of the moving mass and the dynamic factor.

The Study provides the technical background and calculation method f3r the long wave track defect. On high speed railway, It is necessary to manage the long wave band up to 80m track defect fur improving a riding quality. For this reason, Track recording methods for highspeed railway are used 10m and 30m recording bases, these are covered middle wave band and long wave band successfully. Extended base recording data is calculated by geometrical model and this data provides a good result for KTX riding index.
