KTX (Korea Train eXpress) is launched as the $5^{th}$ develop a ride-comfort model for high-speed rail pasengers using structural equation model (SEM). Both qualitative and quantitative factors affecting ride-comfort were investigated, and employed to construct a comprehensive ride-comfort model. The SEM model was built with twenty measurement variables and seven latent variables for the evaluation of ride-comfort of high-speed train passenger. A total of six hundreds thirty two subjects participated in the evaluation using face-to-face survey method. As a result, the proposed SEM model model fitnes (GFI=0.93). According to the results, overall ride-comfort was significantly affected by the seat-, fatigue-, interior-related, and customer satisfaction variables such as fare. Among the engineering design variables of high-speed train, seat-related variables were identified as critical factors of the ride-comfort. It is expected that the result of this study could be useful for the enhancement of ride comfort in next generation KTX.

KTX is the high speed train which is designed for 300km/h in maximum operation speed. But its long train set may cause unstable characters as swaying of the tail of a train and when the train is running on conventional line not on the high speed line, its funning safety is a point to be considered cautiously. In this study, we evaluated the running safety by the numerical analysis using VAMPIRE and compared the result with the test result of KHST, which is being in performance tests, for verifying the validity of analysis results.

2004년 4월 1일, 국내 최초의 고속철도(HSR)인 KTX (Korea Train eXpress)가 경부선에 도입 되었다. KTX의 등장은 경부선을 이용하는 철도 승객들의 운송수단 선택 및 도시구간별 이용객 수 변화를 가져왔다. KTX의 등장과 같은 개입사건(Intervention events)의 영향은 개입사건 전후 변화를 단순 통계량으로 분석하거나 개입 ARIMA 모델을 통해 분석 되었다. 개입 ARIMA 모델은 개입사건의 발생 시점(t)과 개입사건의 영향 형태(type) 등의 가정이 필요하다는 한계가 있었으며, 본 연구에서는 기존 연구에서의 한계점을 보완할 수 있는 시계열 이상치 탐지(time series outlier detection)를 활용하였다. 일반적으로 개입사건의 발생시기는 잘 알려져 있지 않으므로 시계열 이상치 탐지를 통해 개입사건에의 발생 시기를 추정할 수 있다. 시계열 이상치 탐지기법을 활용하여 개입의 시점과 영향 형태에 관한 가정 없이 개입사건에 대한 영향을 분석할 수 있으며, 발생된 이상치의 시점을 개입사건의 시점, 이상치의 영향을 개입사건의 영향으로 가정하였다. 데이터는 KTDB (Korea Transport Database)로 부터 KTX가 도입되기 이전인 2003년부터 2014년까지 12년 동안의 경부선(4개의 주요 도시구간 합산)을 포함한 주요 도시구간 4개의 월별데이터를 수집하여 활용하였다. 경부선 도시 구간별 이상치를 탐지 하고 그 영향을 분석한 결과, 동일한 개입사건 임에도 그 영향의 형태의 정도가 도시구간마다 다르게 나타나거나 영향이 나타나지 않았으며, 기존 연구에서 분석되지 않은 개입사건을 찾을 수 있었다.

In this paper, we introduce the software and hardware of the measuring system for performances of traction and braking in KTX(Korea Train eXpress). The measuring system focuses on the verification of the performance and acquisition of test data. The software controls the hardware of the measuring system, performs the analysis and calculation of measurement data and acts as interface between users and the hardware. For this purpose, three programs, such as a measuring program, a back-up program and a post-processing program, have developed.

Experimental study has been conducted to clarify the internal and external pressure variation characteristics for KTX(Korea Train eXpress) passing through tunnel. Abrupt pressure variation gives rise to the ear-discomfort for passenger and fatigue for car body. In this study, the internal and external pressure variation are measured by using KTX real train experiment and on-board portable data acquisition system in Gyeongbu high speed commercial line. The tunnels from 200 m to 4000 m in length are chosen for the investigation of tunnel length effects. From the results of experiment, the internal pressure variation rate for all the test tunnels is lower than the standard criteria of 200 Pa/s. And, the critical tunnel lengths for pressure wave pattern are classified into 7 groups by using the theoretical L-t diagram analysis.

Communication network in KTX (Korea Train eXpress), the express train system, has to transmit status variables periodically within tens of seconds and real-time control informations which has short reply like status transition or alarm. KTX uses $Tornad^*$ (TOken Ring Network Alsthom Device) network for this purpose. This network can send and receive messages which enable express train applications embedded in intelligence boards to communicate by itself. Layer 1, 2 of $Tornad^*$ is implemented with differential manchester encoding and IEEE 802.4 standard(token bus standard) respectively. To implement layer 1 and 2, we implemented twisted pair modem using FPGA for layer 1 and used MC68824 from Motorola for layer 2. MC68824 bus arbitration and memory controller is implemented using CPLD.

본 연구에서는 개통 12년을 맞는 한국고속철도(KTX, Korea Train eXpress)를 대상으로 여객수요 증가 에 대해 새로운 시각에서 검증하고 이에 바탕하여 장래 KTX의 지속가능 운영방안을 고찰하고자 한다. 지속적으로 증가되고 있는 KTX 여객수요의 영향요인으로는 노선의 확대와 녹색성장을 통한 대중교통의 인식 전환 등이 될 수 있겠으나, 현재까지 KTX 관련연구는 이러한 점을 고려하지 못한 채 주로 여객수요 예측에 집중되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 통행시간 감소로 인한 이용객의 사회적, 심리적 영향에 초점을 맞춘 요인을 고찰하였으며 이를 위해 확산이론 개념을 적용하여 여객수요 증가현상을 설명하였다. 소비자가 가지고 있는 정보가 다양한 네트워크를 통해 전파되는 현상인 확산효과는 제품선택과 구매태도에 영향을 미치는 마케팅학적 개념으로 이 영향이 KTX 이용에도 적용되어 여객수요 확산을 촉진시켰다는 가설을 설정하고 분석을 진행하였다. KTX 경부선을 대상으로 여객수요 증가에 기인하는 이용자의 사회적, 심리적 영향을 Bass의 확산모형(Diffusion Model)을 통해 분석하고 그 결과를 토대로 장래 KTX의 지속가능한 운영에 있어서 여객수요 향상을 위한 교통서비스의 마케팅적 정책추진이 가능하다는 시사점에 대해 고찰해본다.

The measurement of contact wire uplift in electric railways is one of the most important test parameters to accepting the maximum permitted speed of new electric vehicles and pantographs. The contact wire uplift can be measured over short periods when the pantograph passes monitoring stations. In this paper, a high-speed image measurement system and its image processing method are being developed to evaluate dynamic uplift of overhead contact wires caused by pantograph contact forces of Korea Tilting Train eXpress (TTX) and Korea Train eXpress (KTX). The image measurement system was implemented utilizing a high-speed CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) camera and gigabit ethernet LAN. Unlike previous systems, the uplift measurement system using high speed camera is installed on the side of the rail, making maintenance convenient. On-field verification of the uplift measurement system for overhead contact wire using high speed camera was conducted by measuring uplift of the TTX followed by operation speeds at the Honam conventional line and high-speed railway line. The proposed high-speed image measurement system to evaluate dynamic uplift of overhead contact wires shows promising on-field applications for high speed trains such as KTX and TTX.

In this study, on-line measuring system were developed to verify performances and characteristics of electric braking system that is used in KTX(Korea Train eXpress) synthetically and efficiently Because KTX is commercial vehicle, effective measurement and evaluation of measuring signals were performed beyond the range of change for equipment components. KRRI(Korea Railroad Research Institute) described about running-braking measuring program, running-braking backup program and running-braking analysis program that were developed using a software called LabVIEW in this paper. Also, we analyzed the characteristics comparing experimental values with design values about braking distance, braking time, negative acceleration and braking effort in rheostatic braking and regenerative braking. In result, main performances and characteristics for electric braking system in KTX were verified.

Recently, a high speed rail consists of many train coaches and power cars. For keeping the reliable train communication system with train coaches and power cars, train uses the OSI model(Open Systems Interconnection Basic Reference Model) and KTX(Korea Train eXpress) only uses the Physical to Transport layer of OSI model. This paper describes the analysis of CLNP(Connectionless Network Protocol) and ES-IS(End System to Intermediate System) protocols used in KTX for the network layer. CLNP is used to send data to other system and ES-IS protocol is used to route and send information between end systems and intermediate systems. Also this paper presents the protocol parsing program and implementation of Network layer.
