In recent years, energy consumption in the transportation sector by expanding motorization continues to increase in almost every country in the world. Moreover, the growth rate of the transportation energy consumption is significantly higher than those of the civilian and industrial sectors. Therefore, every country strives to reduce its dependence on private transport, which is the main contributor to the transportation energy consumption. In many countries, concepts such as Transit Oriented Development (TOD) or New Urbanism, which controls road traffic by increasing the proportion of the public transportation significantly, have been implemented to encourage a modal shift to public transport. However, the level of change required for eliminating environmental problems is a challenging task. Minimizing transportation energy consumption by controlling the increase of the traffic demand and maintaining the level of urban mobility simultaneously is a pressing dilemma for each city. Grasping the impact of the diversity of the urban transport and infrastructure is very important to improve transportation energy efficiency. However, the potential for reducing urban transportation energy consumption has often been ineffectively demonstrated by the diversity of cities. Therefore, the accuracy of evaluating the current efficiency rate of the urban energy consumption is necessary. Nevertheless, quantitative analyses related to the efficiency of transportation energy consumption are scarce, and the research on the current condition of consumption efficiency based on international quantitative analysis is almost nonexistent. On the basis of this background problem definitions, this research first built a database of the transportation energy consumption of private modes in 119 cities, with an attempt to reflect individual travel behaviors calculated by Person Trip data. Subsequently, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used as an assessment method to evaluate the efficiency of transportation energy consumption by considering the diversity of the urban traffic features in the world cities. Finally, we clarified the current condition of consumption efficiency by attempting to propose a target values for improving transportation energy consumption.

In order to use BIM as a tool for improving the productivity and quality of products in the construction industry, a BIM model must be created from the design stage first. Infrastructure structures such as bridges and tunnels are mainly created based on three-dimensional alignment in the generation of BIM models. Especially, generation of BIM models based on three-dimensional linearity has high task difficulty and algorithms for automating BIM modeling for railway infra structures have been suggested in previous studies. This study improved the BIM modeling automation algorithm of railway infrastructures and developed a system based on the algorithm so that it can be easily used by ordinary users. The system was built as an add-in system of Autodesk's Revit. As an improvement first, it is possible to arrange different libraries for each pattern, enabling various uses. In addition, it can be created models of several members with a single process and the system can automatically places structures that are added periodically, such as Rock Bolt and Fore Polling. Finally, 3D length information and volume for each pattern are automatically calculated for more accurate 3D-based volume calculation. This study contributes to increasing user accessibility by building a BIM modeling automation algorithm into a system. The system is expected to improve the efficiency of BIM modeling creation of linear-based infra structures, including railway infrastructure.

TSI(Technical Specification for Interoperability) is the highest technical specification in the Europe Railway and is composed by assessment items and essential requirements included by safety, reliability, availability, health, environment protection and technical compatibility. It is used on the research and development in the next generation railway technical. Currently, TSI procedures have been asked to bid for high speed rail business in Europe and Brazil. Also, all the railway systems such as infrastructure, signaling, electric and rolling stock system corresponding with standard of TSI procedures are exported and imported. Recently, Safety Critical System which has been studied on future railway R&D business in Korea is the state of the art train control system. And it is needed for system assessment of TSI procedures before system test and operation. In this paper, basic research is performed for analyzing TSI procedures suitable for the state of the art train control system in Korean railway.

This study tried to figure out the framework of safety culture in railway industry to analyze root causes of railway incidents and accidents at Korean National Railway. Through the literature survey, authors found some critical dimensions common to railway safety culture such as employees' belief in the managers' management weight on safety and productivity, recognition of safety importance, risk taking attitude, practice of safety meeting before and after doing work, communication between management and employees and among drivers, traffic managers and infrastructure maintenance workers, safety reporting practice, safety and performance appraisal, effectiveness of safety audit, safety training, work place arrangement, incidents and accidents investigation, and safety knowledge management.

At present, the highest operation speed of general domestic train is in the level of 140km/h and it is being improved to reach at the level of 200km/h in 2011. The improved environment of train operation speed which inevitably occurs owing to the operation of KTX on the existing line badly requires technology development such as testing and evaluating technology of factors hindering high speed of railway infrastructure including railway bridge, technology to ensure operation safety and technology to evaluate structure stability. Comparing dynamic numerical interpretation for railway truss bridge and load of design standard by using dynamic response measurement and analysis for the railway truss bridge currently in use, this study established the improvement program to ensure the lateral dynamic safety of truss bridge with the increased speed of train.

In recent years, the cutting and banking areas along the railway in Korea are exposed to the erosion problem during every year. The reinforcement is a composite construction material in which the strength of engineering fill is enhanced by the addition of strong tensile reinforcement in many different types. Various problems of the railway infrastructure have occurred due to the differential settlement, frost heaving, mud pumping, lack of bearing capacity, partially loss of embankment. In advanced countries, railway roadbed reinforcement is applied to solve these problems on railway roadbed. This paper presents the solution of such problems by means of the engineering works incorporated with railway reinforcement infrastructures such as geotextile bag method, existing grouting method, geocell, reinforced earth, soil nailing and so on.

This article studied French case, German case, and England case of rail reform in terms of the relationship between rail infrastructure operator and train operator. Among these three cases there are tie relationship between two different operators backed up by laws. In France the relation between RFF, infrastructure operator, and SNCF, train operator is set up by laws. In Germany the infrastructure operator and train operator form a Konzern and two different operators work with close cooperation. In England SRA, a government authority, plans both infrastructure development and rolling stock demand. From these case studies a conclusion results that there should be a institutional device to maintain close relationship between infrastructure operator and train operator.

레일체결장치는 레일을 침목 등에 결속시켜 정해진 궤간의 유지와 열차 하중을 하부의 침목 및 도상 등에 전달하는 역할을 수행하는 주요 궤도 구성품이다. 본 논문에서는 도시철도 운영환경에서 파상마모에 대한 레일체결장치 클립의 진동 특성 분석을 위해서 조립상태에서 레일체결장치 클립의 모달테스트를 수행하여 고유진동수를 측정하였으며, 이를 파상마모에 의한 통과주파수와의 비교를 통해 공진 영향을 검토하였다. 또한 열차 주행시 파상마모에 따른 레일 및 레일체결장치 클립의 가속도와 레일체결장치 클립의 변형률을 계측하였다. 분석결과 레일 및 레일체결장치 클립의 가속도는 파상마모와 매우 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있으나, 레일체결장치 클립의 변형률과의 관계는 미비한 것으로 나타났다.
