A high-speed rail system represents a typical example of large-scale multi-disciplinary systems, consisting of subsystems such as train, electrical hardware, electronics, control, information, communication, civil technology etc. The Systems Engineering, as a methodology for engineering and management of today's ever-growing complex system, must be applied to development of such systems. This paper presents systems engineering framework model to have to be applied to the systems engineering technology development task for the korean next-generation high-speed railway systems in progress and demonstrates data models and schema for computer-aided systems engineering software, RDD-100, for use in its development and management.

The introduction of high speed railway(KTX) in Korea after the Korean high speed train through the KTX-II of the development is being run is made. Thus the demand for the railway technology advances and high performance, Korean government promoted the development of the next-generation high speed train system(HEMU-400X). In addition to the production of train system essential element of the train through an on-line test is to evaluate the performance. Through the on-line test of the train in order to evaluate the performance test items should be selected first and need to the test procedures are required. In addition, an Overall Measuring System(OMS) to measure the performance of the train system should be established. In this study for the on-line test of the HEMU-400X test items was selected for detailed measurements and performance evaluation of a comprehensive and efficient trains to test an OMS for the development are discussed.

The aim of this paper is to provide a guide to those methods of train detection which are available, or are likely to become available, to the designer of train control or other relevant systems. In broad terms, train detection may be defined as the process of generating information which describes the location and movement of trains. Train detection information is difficult to define in isolation. Consider, for example, the train detection information required in a modern train control system. This may vary considerably : in a future high performance train control system, it might be necessary to know the precise position, direction of movement, speed, and possibly even the acceleration or braking, of all trains in the control area : in a less demanding application, it might be sufficient to know only the location of trains in terms of the occupation of sections of track.

The Safety Transmission Unit(STU) is a critical device used in railway systems to ensure safe and efficient operations by providing communication between trains and railway infrastructure. It is responsible for transmitting vital information and commands, allowing for the control and coordination of train movements. The STU plays a crucial role in maintaining the safety of passengers, crew, and the overall railway network. This paper presents the design and testing of a STU for the next-generation wireless-based train control system. An analysis of european and domestic standards was conducted to review requirements and ensure the design of a STU for the train control system meets international standards. Based on this analysis, hardware and software designs were developed to create an internationally recognized level of safety for the communication device. To verify the functionality of the STU, a simulator was developed, and it was confirmed that the designed features were successfully implemented.

In this paper, we analyze the performance and reliability of the next-generation KRTCS (Korea Radio Train System) network. The KRTCS has been designed to manage and control the overall status of trains including location, speed, stop position, door open/close status and interior monitoring and so forth. System faults of the KRTCS operation can lead to the disruption of smooth train flow, even to terrible traffic accident. Prior to installation we need to assure the reliability of the designed KRTCS system. For this purpose, we simulated and analyzed the KRTCS network using QualNet simulator, assuming the various environmental operation data of train flows and communication faults that can be found in real telecommunication networks.

Traffic management means the management of streams of people, vehicle and cargo. Its aim is to help creating an efficient, safe and environmentally friendly transport system. Traffic management can roughly be divided in traffic control and monitoring, traffic information and demand management. The main purpose of this thesis is providing the basis for developing the next generation train traffic management system by comparing domestic and abroad train traffic management system. The composition of this thesis has been discussed in the following order of the comparison of train traffic management system's function, the introduction of Autonomous Decentralized system, the comparison between CTC and ATOS. the comparison between the hierarchy system and Autonomous Decentralized system, the study of introduction plan of Autonomous Decentralized-type train traffic management system and conclusion.

In this paper a simulator for Integrated Onboard Signalling System(IOSS) will be presented and illustrated. IOSS which is integrated with there signalling systems such as ERTMS/ETCS Level 1 ATP(Automatic Train Protection), ATC(Automatic Train Control) and ATS(Automatic Train Stop) is a signalling system for HEMU-400X(Highspeed Electric Multiple Unit - 400km/h eXperiment). HEMU-400X is under development as the next generation high-speed train in Korea. Before conducting a trial run of HEMU-400X with IOSS, we must carry out functional test of IOSS. The simulator is suggested in this paper for testing and verification of IOSS. The simulator can help to test all function of IOSS although a real train and trackside equipments are not existed. Also the simulator can make a fault in trackside equipment intentionally. In that scenario, we can figure out how IOSS handle emergency situations.

The first task for the development of a train system is to define the system and to determine its requirements. Reliability target is one of the requirements defined in the system requirements. In railway applications it is advised to follow the procedures given in IEC 62278 to fulfill reliability requirements. The reliability requirements are derived from the customer's needs. The way in which the system requirements reflect the customer's needs is strongly dependent on the characteristics of the product. In general the customer of commercial trains presents the system requirements from their needs. However, the relation between the customer and supplier is equivocal for a project to development a prototype train, and the reliability program should be different from that of an usual commercial project. This paper deals with the reliability management and assessment plan carried out for the on-going "Next generation high-speed train development project".

The railway signaling systems operated in Korea are ATS system, ATP system for the low speed line and ATC system for the high speed line. The integrated onboard signaling system for the next-generation high-speed rail is progressed as the need for reducing a driver's load and controlling a train properly with the automatic translation of the onboard signaling system according to a trackside signaling system. In this paper the configuration of the integrated onboard signaling system and the interfaces of the subsystems is presented.
