Recently, traction motors in trains are supplied with single phase a.c. power. After this power is converted to d.c. power, it is inverted to three phase power to operate traction motors. As going through the process of the conversion, harmonic current is generated in train. The method of conventional analysis on harmonics, studied by RTRI, is modeled with equivalent circuit of ac AT-fed electric railroad system using by the distributed constant circuit. However, this circuit as two-port network model has some difference in comparison with real system. The reason why the conventional method is different from the real system is that the conventional method dose not include three conductor groups, that is catenary, rail, and feeder, and admittance between the conductors for line capacitance. Therefore, this method has a little error. This paper proposes new method to more effectively estimate Harmonic current. In this method, numerous components in electric railway are categorized and each component is defined as a four- port network model. The equivalent circuit for the entire power supply system is also described into a four-port network model with connections of these components. In order to evaluate the efficiency and the accuracy of a proposed method, it is compared with values measured in Kyung-Bu high speed line and ones calculated by the conventional method.

The main transportation mode of long distance inter-city passenger trips is high-speed rail and the modal share of transportation has been changed profoundly since the KTX service has been started in the Kyung-Bu railroad transportation corridor in the day of 1 April, 2004. After an opening of KTX service in the second stage Kyung-Bu and Ho-Nam railroad transportation corridors, a capacity of incumbent railroads will be increased and operational environments of freight train will be improved. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of KTX service operation on the national logistics thoroughly. This paper establishes a deceptive scheme in the national railroad logistic transportation and a route operational strategy between the main origins and destinations efficiently considering the changes of the current freight transportation system in the future. We expect to achieve efficiency of logistic transportation in this paper through alternative routes for example Ho-Nam, Chang-Hang, Seo-Hae line.

A signal equipment improvement project for the existing facility ATS to ATP is under construction in Kyung-Bu and Ho-Nam commercial line including 400 rolling stocks. But there was a concern for the interface between KTX OBCS and ATP from the beginning of the project. At present, this is the front burner event. This paper introduces interface checking and predicted failure point between KTX OBCS and ATP improvement system. Through this measure the optimal installation of the ATP will be possible. The study was made under maintenance efficiency including reliability because the KTX signal equipment must qualify the above condition.

High-speed trains with maximum speed of 300km/h, named KTX, have started revenue services since April 2004. Because of the geographical features of Korea a large portion of the 'Kyung-Bu' line is comprised of tunnels, which may cause excessive noise in a vehicle. The KTX interior noise follows in tunnel structure and the place where the quality appears different, the quality against hereupon from the commerce vehicle from the research which it sees it executes and comparison to analyze.

High-speed trains with the maximum speed of 300 km/h have started revenue services since April 2004. A large portion of the 'Kyung-Bu' line is comprised of tunnels or bridges, which may cause excessive noise in a vehicle. The vibration generated by the trains propagates into the structure of the tunnel and the vehicle and it can be radiated as noise inside the vehicle interior. This noise can usually be heard as low frequency structure-borne noise. Measurement of the noise and vibration inside the KTX vehicle confirmed that the noise comprises of frequencies below 250 Hz with a couple of broad peaks.

Korean High Speed Train (KHST) designed to operate at 350km/h has been tested on KyungBu high speed line since it was developed in 2002. The specification of the interior noise level for high speed train in Korea has been adopted through the contract between KHRC and Korea TGV consortium, not a national specification. But it can not be adopted to KHST designed at 350km/h because this has involved up to 300Km/h. Therefor, in this paper, the interior noise level at 350km/h are predicted in passenger car using the results at 300Km/h and these results show that the KHST's interior noise levels are good up to 300Km/h but need to be reduced at 350Km/h in the view point of limit value at 300Km/h of the contract between KHRC and Korea TGV consortium. Also it proposed to make a national specification for the interior noise level to evaluate it in detail at 350Km/h.

Since Kyung-Bu High Speed Line has been introduced, a railway electrification has been proceeded rapidly. Therefore, in this study, a specification and application standard for an overhead catenary supporting thin walled steel pole using STKT590 material are proposed in order to improve an economical efficiency. To decide the specification, strength analysis, deflection analysis, deflection test and fracture test are performed. If the supporting structures using high strength materials such as STKT590 are installed, the advantages of cost by the materials price reduction and demand and supply are expected.

Track geometry changes by traffic loads. The bigger the changes are, the worse the riding comfort and running stability of train. This is so-called track irregularity and is the most important quality parameters of ballasted track. To objectively assess track irregularity, track geometry should be able to be measured. Practically, railway companies in Korea use normal distribution as probability distribution of track irregularity. But some countries use non-normal distribution according to their own track recording system. In this report, reviewed probability distribution of Kyung-Bu high-speed line and tested normality.

Traction power is supplied by three-phase alternating current of 154 kV power grid and electric trains are operated on single phase feeding system. It becomes important to use all the three phases equally and convert them into two-phase electric power (90 degree phase rotation) for traction supply. This is achieved by special transformer from the adjacent traction substation which is separated by a neutral section. Neutral section locations are in front of the substation and between the two substations. The first stage of the Seoul-Busan high-speed railway, design curve radius is larger than 7,000 m and the greatest slope is 25‰. The railway track conditions are evaluated as good enough to install a neutral section at the first stage, but a few factors of coasting operation of the train should be considered at the second stage of Seoul-Busan high-speed railway. The neutral section was located at Kim-cheon substation, which made some neutral section problems produced by the operating train, and the neutral section was moved about 1.5 km to the south toward Dong Dae-gu station due to the track operation condition. Some of the trains which stopped at the existing Kim-cheon Gu-mi station produced another motor block failure after moving the neutral section. In this paper, power quality, system performance and track condition, etc. are suggested to solve the problems.
