This paper shows the institutional limits of technological innovation at the railway package service, that is the limits of introducing the package express system. The railway package service, owned by government and operated by D company, has been suffered severe operating loss since early 1990's. The package express system supported by information network and co-working with inner city quick service might be an solution for the railway package service. But there are several obstacles such as labor union and the rigidities of the Korean National Railroad of government agency.

This purpose of this study is two-fold, First is the forcasting the railway connection between South and North Korea. Second is the problem of the connection the lines. We analyse that the connection of transport volume is 530-620thousandTeu in 2005. And it is increased 360-410thousandTeu in 2010. Therefore, we must expand the line, and prepare the efficient CIQ procedure. Finally, we prepare the masterplan of integration railway network of South and North Korea.

This study performs an evaluation, using the economic feasibility analysis method, of the LTE based railway wireless networks (LTE-R) service that is planned to be used for the future railway networks in Korea. Its objectives are using the evaluation results and working to reflect the factors that lead to a maximization of benefits in designing an integrated railway wireless network. This study analyzes the impact of implementing an LTE-R on the railway networks, in contrast to the existing wireless network methods, e.g. VHR and TRS to new rail lines on an economic view. This results found that the benefit cost ratio is greater than 1.0 with a 10% contribution to benefits of the wireless network service in the case study on the Wonju-Gangneung rail line that will start operations in 2018; as a result, an ICT design is desired. For the introduction of an LTE-R service for the Wonju-Gangneung rail line, design specifications need to increase to benefits for each service, which will verify actual contributions and therefore result in an overall economic effect.

Safety of railway systems is made by understanding causes and process of railway accidents and grasping contents of a many of accidents. Now, Being carried out a research and analysis about an extensive areas(the whole country, the metropolitan area, the five metropolitan cities, the city of three hundred thousands and over of people) and field, thereafter the National Transportation (Railway) Database has been constructed and developed to prepare the base that reduced an overlapping survey using a standardized-material offer. A purpose of this research is to derive plans to apply National transport DB including information in the field of transportation systems to domestic railway safety management. The research analyses the present conditions of establishing national transport DB, and reviews problems when that use to railway system. As being based in this, the research derived definitions and using plans of layers available to use, and plans of establishing and systematizing information for desirable railway network.

Determining the investment priority of the railway project is essential to keep its object of railway investment. [National railway construction plan] provide 4 major evaluation indicators and their weighting range in determining the investment priority of railway construction. Which are investment efficiency, inter-regional balance of development, network effects, government supporting policy. However this present criteria has inconsistency in determining economical feasibility of the railway transportation when applying the same evaluation indicator, investment efficiency, with the road transportation. The railway transportation is superior to road transportation in terms of transportation capacity and distance, while offering less carbon emissions. In spite of the prominent position of the railway transportation, it can be failed to obtain its proper investment priority when being determined under economical feasibility based. Therefore, this study analyzed the inconsistency under present evaluation criteria and proposed new evaluation method for the investment priority of the railway construction using AHP(analytic hierarchy process), while differentiate from the road construction. This method is optimized for only determining the priority of the railway construction itself under object of railway investment respectively.

TCN(Train Communication Network) adopts the master/slave protocol to implement real-time communication. In this network, a fault on the master node, cased by either hardware or software failure, makes the entire communication impossible over TCN. To reduce fault detection and recovery time, this paper propose the contention based mastership transfer algorithm. Slave nodes detect the fault of master node and search next master node using the proposed algorithm. This paper also shows the implementation results of a SoC-based Fault-Tolerant MVB Controller(FT-MVBC) which includes the fault-detect-logic as well as the MVB network logic to verify this algorithm.

Computer simulation is essential to design the suspension elements of railway vehicle. By computer simulation, engineers can assess the feasibility of a given design factors and change them to get a better design. But if one wishes to perform complex analysis on the simulation, such as railway vehicle dynamic, the computational time can become overwhelming. Therefore, many researchers have used a mega model that has a regression model made by sampling data through simulation. In this paper, the neural network is used a mega model that have twenty-nine design variables and forty-six responses. After this mega model is constructed, multi-objective optimal solutions are achieved by using the differential evolution. This paper shows that this optimization method using the neural network and the differential evolution is a very efficient tool to solve the complex optimization problem.

According to the computerization of railway signaling systems, the interface link between the signaling systems has been replaced by the digital communication channel. At the same time, the importance of the communication link is more pronounced than in the past. In this paper, new network-based protocol for Korean railway signaling has designed between CTC and SCADA system, and the overview of designed protocol is briefly represented. Using the informal method for specifying the communication protocol, a little ambiguity may be contained in the protocol. To clear the ambiguity contained in the designed protocol, we use LTS model to design the protocol for this interface link between CTC and SCADA, the LTS is an intermediate model for encoding the operational behavior of processes. And then, we verify automatically and formally the safety and the liveness properties through the model checking method. Especially, the modal ${\mu}$-calculus, which is a highly expressive method of temporal logic that has been applied to the model checking method. It will be expected to increase the safety, reliability and efficiency of maintenance of the signaling systems by using the designed protocol for railway signaling in Korea.

The current domestic railway wireless communication networks transmit and receive data using several communication schemes such as VHF, TRS-ASTRO, and TRS-TETRA depending on the specific region. Recently, LTE scheme has been adopting in railway wireless communication systems to provide various services and increase reliability. It is critical to support the network interoperability between the existing communication schemes and new communication scheme for seamless data transmission. In this paper, we propose two interoperability schemes in railway communications networks, i.e., network oriented scheme and terminal oriented scheme. We consider the operation scenario for each scheme and compare two interoperability schemes. The practical implementation issues are also discussed based on suggested schemes.
