  • Recently, rainfall induced hazard has been increased gradually, for example, typhoon Rusa in 2002 and Maemi in 2003. In addition, localized heavy rainfall has been also caused tremendous damage to railroad systems. Measured data from the Meteorological Adminstration sometimes, However, are not in accordance with those of rain gauges in local area, because of its good distance. This study develop automatic alarming software to estimate and prevent these kind of rainfall induced hazards in railroad system with online transportation.

  • We try to evaluate the stock level of Korean transportation infrastructure comparing Korean SOC stock level with those of OECD countries. In order to do so, we work on indices to show the transportation infrastructure stock levels of various countries. Among several indices, we select the effective road-extension rate per population density and the effective railroad-extension rate per population density corresponding to road and railroad. We compare Korean road and railroad stock levels with those of OECD countries, to make use of the effective road-extension rate per population density and effective railroad-extension rate per population density. We choose the Britain, Greece, Portugal, and Sweden to compare Korea because their sizes of population and territory are similar to those of Korea. Using International comparison, we arrive at the conclusion that Korean road and railroad stock levels are 63.4% and 53.2% of those of four countries respectively. In addition, we estimate the target level of road and railroad stocks and compute the target level of investments in road and railroad based on the result.

  • On 16Dec. 1999, It was 100 years since the opening the first railroad section of 33.2km on Sep. 1899, Korea High Speed Railroad had a successful trial run of 200km/h on test track section. And the test speed 300km/h was achieved an 28 June 2000 during continuous commissioning. In the 21st century, the High Speed Railroad will be opened commercially in Korea and will contribute to technical development. Now, it is necessary to re-evaluate the role of railroad in modern society and to activate the railroad system. Ultimately, the competitive power of nation will be strengthened with energy saving, reduction of pollution and transportation cost. It conclusion the railroad system have to be expaned about 50% of total transportation to make preparations for reopening of Eurasia silk route through KyungEu railroad connection.

  • As the opening of Korea Railroad Express on April 1, 2004, it has extended the transportation capacity of railroad, and decreased the time and moving cost. Railroad Express is industry composed of transportation, advanced technology, and grand project for synthetic plan. Hence, here now, as the anniversary of Railroad Express, we should analyze the overall effect of Korean Economy by KTX. relationship with other industry, social and cultural change. That is the key point what is the change during the year and how we catch the chance to develope the Korea Railroad for the national economy. The KTX has overcome the speed which the traditional railroad not been. But the Express has a weakness in searching of customer or goods. KTX is helped by electronics and telecommunications. so we need to find new industry in relation to KTX. And we should have open mind and vision for international railroad.

  • If the Seoul-Pusan high-speed rail project is able to open its revenue service in 2004, Korea will be the fifth country with an HSR system in the world. And, it will be recorded as a major milestone in the transportation history of Korea. But, Government regulated railroad fare because railroad fare increase can bring negative influences to CPI(Consumer Price Index). Consequently, Korea National Railroad cannot afford to operate railroad independently under current railroad fare system. In this paper, we studied the railroad fare system under implementation and its influences to CPI. And then we proposed that railroad fare must be decided by competition with other transportation modes and based on the demand variance by introducing YMS(Yield Management System).

  • Personal rapid transit(PRT) systems have been highlighted in future transportation developments as a result of their potential as sustainable and eco-friendly transport solutions that provide demand-responsive mobility services. One of the most important characteristics of the personal rapid transit system(PRT) is that it can be constructed and operated at a low cost. A fundamental study on the alignment of the PRT guideway considering running stability was conducted in the present study. In addition, a parameter analysis of the major alignment design variables such as curve radius, transition curve length and cant was performed by vehicle dynamic analysis and optimum guideway alignments were proposed. The analysis results suggested that the theoretical values were satisfied and also confirmed the possibility of reducing the standard.

  • KTX will be operated on Kyun-Pu High Speed Railroad Line around end of 2,003 and KHST(G7 Korea High Speed Train) will be carried out the development running test at Kyun-Pu High Speed Railroad Line from middle of 2002. By the way, the conventional Ho-Nam railroad line was passed the limit capacity of transportation at some area from 1997. For solving of this matter, Ho-Nam railroad line need new high speed railroad line for high transportation capacity of passengers now. This report was studied about the rolling stock system design used new technology of KHST and KTX for Ho-Nam High Speed Railroad.

  • A Railroad Cars playa prominent role in a matter of transportation however, yet it cannot be discussed here for cultural space. On the other hand, considering railroad customers' increaced desire(craving) for cultural space, we design it in the train so that we provide customers not only transportation but also fullfil them desire for culture. In the competitive cultural era. The aim of the new strategy for railroad business is both inspiving art and operating exhibition facilities in the train(railroad). Through analysis of exhibition space and environment, we design exhibition space to equip cultural facilities in the train then lead to make railroad business' new social education role by the inside and outside of the country.

  • Recently, the traditional paradigm in railroad technology is changing as more efficient and cost-effective electric vehicle (EV) technologies have emerged. The original concept of PRT (Personal Rapid Transit) proposed in the past has come to be regarded as unrealistic, but its feasibility is improving through the utilization of an EV platform. In particular, battery-powered vehicles pose difficult technical challenges in attempts to achieve reliable and efficient operation. However, based on the inductive power transfer (IPT) technology, the fast charging of supercapacitors with high energy density can contribute to overcoming this technical challenge and promote the transition to electric-powered ground transportation by improving the appearance of cities. This study discusses the development process of a power supply system for PRT, including concept design, numerical analysis, and device manufacturing, along with performance predictions and evaluations. In terms of results, the system was found to meet the performance requirements for power supply modules on a test-bed.
