On April 27 2018, North-South Korea agreed to establish the practical methods for connecting the railway in the inter-Korean summit talks. This is often reported that the train will be operated directly between Busan and Europe. However, there are many problems for the railway to directly connect between Busan and Europe. Because a train from Busan to Europe should pass through North Korea, China or Russia, and each national railway systems are different. Thus, South Korean railway has to study thoroughly an interoperability before railways directly operates between a nation and another. The standards and technical harmony for direct connection with a different railway network is very important, because a rail transport is a total network system. This paper surveyed a European railway interoperability and studied on the basic direct operation for the North-South Korean railway systems.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the characteristics of Korean railway architectural facilities constructed during the Japanese ruling period through an examination on the historical documents. The findings of this study are as follows: Firstly, the Japanese railway adminstration authority in Korea defined the criterion for each architectural facilities according to the climate zone. Secondly, these criterion were object to modification by the geo-political. changes and the augmentation of demands. Thirdly, each architectural facilities had been remodeled or expanded, from a temporary building type to a more permanent type, consequently by the development of the Korean railway network.

In case the fault occurs in railway high voltage power supply network, protective relaying system must selectively detect 1 wire ground fault of grounding or non-grounding system. And this study presents railway high voltage power supply system model using PSCAD/EMTDC Vet 3.08 for circuit analysis and fault studies. In this paper, we propose protection method of non-grounding system of railway high voltage power supply system. The result shows its usefulness.

Now operating of many urban railway lines are currently in progress in tile Seoul, but the inadequate consideration of links between different lines could create inconvenience as the public transport. This paper is studied about the connection design of urban-railway service convinced for other metropolis railways forms and propose the base pilot plan of the railway network linking system in Seoul Metropolis.

The ability of freight users to identify and to utilize options to move is limited. Saving in time and in fare to freight users could be significant if whole transport sequences could be planned and implemented with high level of service. In oder to improve the attractiveness of rail freight, it is essential that the industrial railway tracks between railway network and large scale logistics facilities are completely equipped. This article present the direction of the master plan of Korean industrial railway tracks.

The creation of a single European rail transport market it is important to increase confidence between the actors on the market and between member states who shall ensure that railway safety is generally maintained and, where reasonably practicable, continuously improved. For this purpose the European railway safety directive introduces a mechanism to adopt a Common Safety Targets (CST) expressed in risk acceptance criteria for individuals and for society. This paper focuses on the apportionment of safety targets for European railway system. We develop a generic approach based on the Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA), to analyse the safety of railway systems for a unified European network and to comply with the CSTs required by the European railway Safety Directive. We suggest to combine the FHA technique with the functional railway architecture to allocate the safety targets to the railway functions.

The Seoul metropolitan area is generated the transportation problems of traffic congestion, delay of travel time, etc due to the increase of traffic demand at Seongnam area, Koyang/Paju area, Incheon/Bucheon area, etc, because that have not provided the urban surrounding railway network and live to be concentrated about 49% of the population of Korea. The Koyang/Paju route axis is required the urban surrounding railway network because the share percentage of public transportation is 51%, the automobiles is 48.8% and the subway is 27.3% and the housing development plan for 530,000 persons have provided. According to the result of the study for the introduction of the express railway between Kangnam to Ilsan of 37.8Km, in case of operation of 150Kmm at express railway, the scheduled speed between Kangnam to Ilsan is 103Km/h, the running time is about 23 minutes. The demand of traffic of this project was forecasted about 237,000persons by traffic analysis. This project which was analysed B/C of 1.08 by the result of the feasibility study have a economic feasibility.

Since 1974, the first subway is constructed in Seoul metropolitan area, from 1985 country metropolitan subways have been built. But most country metropolitan subways cannot reach the goal of transportation sharing ratio and show a loss. In this paper, I investigate the issues of country metropolitan subways and present the methods to improve them focusing on strengthening transit network. At first, it is introduced that the method can complement incomplete network from insufficient subway lines. And I propose the consolidation method using KORAIL railway lines. Finally, the connecting method into subway missing area is presented with various transit systems like BRT, Guideway Bus and single railway line extension.

In this paper, the water cooling method among the forced coolant cooling methods is considered to be applied to the 110kW-class IPMSM for railway vehicles. First, basic thermal property analysis of the IPMSM is conducted using the three-dimensional thermal equivalent network method. Then, based on the results of the basic thermal property analysis, some design requirements for the water cooling jacket are deduced and a basic design of the water cooling jacket is carried out. Finally, thermal equivalent circuit of the water cooling jacket is attached to the IPMSM's 3D thermal equivalent network and then, the basic thermal and effectiveness analysis are conducted for the case of applying the water cooling jacket to the IPMSM. In the future, the thermal variation trends inside the IPMSM by the application of the water cooling jacket is expected to be quickly and easily predicted even at the design step of the railway traction motor.
