This paper describes a reduction in the peaks of traction energy for metro railways in timetabling. We develope a mixed integer programming (MIP) model, which minimizes the number of trains running simultaneously. We suggest two approaches. In the first approach, we use the commercial MIP solver, CPLEX. In the second approach, we propose a heuristic algorithm. We apply both methods to the current daily timetable of the Korea Metropolitan Subway. We determine an optimal solution, which results in an improvement of approximately 25% over the current timetable.

The after 1974 capital region electric railroad is opened to traffic Koraill and Seoul metro adopt each other different power supply method and they operate and they are come. AC 25[kv] method voltage the insulation becomes larger standing distance highly, the case tunnel section which will introduce in the underground segment becomes on a large scale and the cost of construction increases to the city center and the underground segment adoption of DC method was many. To recent times with R-bar (Rigid-bar) introductions change of tunnel section the introduction of AC method came to be easy without in the underground segment. Operates sees in the electric protection where the Seoul metro and the Korail are different each other and, from the dead section segment the interior electric light to put out lights the passenger brings about inconveniently and the civil appeal which demands a power supply method unification occurs, within the company interchange electric railroad brazier safety improvement and maintenance expense curtailment etc. the flaw is original proposal, is a condition which finishes a feasibility study service about the power supply method fringe land. Interchange analysis of the DC electric railway it leads from the present paper and it compares under analyzing being it could be reflected to also the route which is in the process of actual using boil the strong point and a weak point of DC and AC method of the establishment route constructive at the time of and

Based on an observation that tag-out times of passengers from Smart Card data were clustered, Hong et al.[1] recently developed a precise algorithm that detects a logical path for metro passengers. The logical path means the sequence of train boarding and alighting. In this paper, we observe that tag-out times of passengers in Seoul Metro Line 9 were also clustered; we trace an actual logical path of passengers by applying the algorithm. As a result, we identify 91% of passengers successfully and find their logical paths; we also investigate passengers'preferences between express and local trains.

The new information service has been demanded due to the recent mobile internet activation, and the government is promoting the activation of the private use of the public data by putting up the Government 3.0. According to government policy, many public sectors provide public data, but the railway sector is inferior to other public sector. In the case of national railway corporation, urban railway is now operated by 14 corporations such as Seoul Metro through the nation and high-speed railway is now operated by Korea Railroad Corporation and Supreme Railways. It is very difficult to standardize and integrate data due to mutual interests of national railway corporation. This paper describes a way to standardize and integrate rail passengers information collected through research project.

This study analyzed the level of service on passenger transfer between metro and bus based on transit smart card data obtained in 2010. In order to evaluate the level of service on transfer, we defined the service level specially on transfer time at metro stations. The data of passenger transfer time were used in cluster analysis to classify the service level from A to F. The results show that the average transfer time from metro to bus was 6.45 minutes. The number of stations with level of service A(approximately less than 7 minutes) and B(less than 16minutes) were found to be 215 and 227stations respectively. Also, the number of stations with the level of service C and D (greater than 20 minutes for transfer) were found to be 6 stations where any type of improvement on transfer facilities is required.

Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) insulator has a higher performance than porcelain. It is only used in domestic AC 25 kV electric railway system. Seoul Metro has developed DC 1500 V polymer insulator since 2008. The test of moisture infiltration is carried out. The test results showed that all result values satisfy the test standard.

This paper consider the condition monitoring technology of electrical machine in metro substation need for efficient and effective management and diagnosis. Developing management system using condition monitoring system is very competitive field, and still to a great extent seen as an unnecessary cost. There are several approaches to maintenance management in urban transit such as reliability-centered maintenance, availability-target maintenance and preventive maintenance to advanced approaches involving condition monitoring techniques. In this paper we give a brief introduction to condition-based management and diagnosis in metro substation and which management system satisfying various demanding in railway.

The OCC of Seoul Metro whose operation began in 1974 is in charge of conveying 4,000,000 passengers across 117 subway stations in travel zones of 134.9Km in length. It continues to strive to ensure passenger safety by applying state-of-the-art-technology to each control system without delay. The power control center especially designed to provide power system operations for all stations of Seoul Metro(Line 1 to 4) and the rolling stocks implements preventive safety systems with the real time power system operational information on changes in conditions from the field through the power SCADA system(41 substations, 117 stations, 137 terminal units). This paper reports the differences of each line's power SCADA system(power SCADA systems of Seoul Metro(Line 1 to 4)), the roles and functions of the system, and the system operating characteristics and limits from the standpoint of the operator.

This Report explains a plan for the application and construction about BOM(Bill Of Material) in charge of primary part of the RIMS(Rolling-Stock Information Maintenance System) maximizing the RIMS's reliability. The BOM system of the Seoul Metro is accomplished the frequent changes of the structure and design through the OEM(Original Equipment Manufacturer) and the maintaining and repairing work and also The BOM system is constructed so that Seoul Metro can solve all problems of the composition change, Rolling-Stock construction, changeful history management. In addition the BOM system of the Seoul Metro is considered the applicative side of the technical data, information of the material, expediency and hindrance analysis.

Presently metro in our county has higher rate of passengers as a public transportation of urban area than other transportations. And road is under very restrictive condition to be expanded in many aspects because the streets are completely choked. Therefore increase of capacity in metro and reduction of headway has been seriously required and utmost efforts has been taken by related fields to meet the requirements. The concept of CBTC system came out from this background. CBTC system can be implemented to detect the train location without using the track circuits. It has many advantages in aspects of signalling equipments build-up and maintenance. This study investigated examples of radio communication system and applicable standard norms in other countries. And it also reviewed the suggestion for the establishment of radio frequency and radio network to be considered for application train control system by radio under Korean metro environment.
