But it is improving progressively in SMRT railway ATO method. The ATO the operation method leads exchange of information of wayside and train system for and it is possible, the TWC system configuration is becoming wayside and train system and the radio antenna. It discussed the equipment for a TWC system and a automatic operation from the dissertation which it sees. It investigated a data exchange, a message format and an interface control method and it joined in and a system maintenance conservative method it discussed.

This paper shows the analysis of the inductive power transfer system in conjunction with series resonant converter operating variable high frequency. Of particular interest is the sensitivity of the complete system to variations in operational frequency and parameters. In inductive power transfer system, electrical power is transferred from a primary winding in the form of a coil or track, to one or more isolated pick-up coils that may relative to the primary. The ability to transmit power without contact enables high reliability and easy maintenance that allows inductive power transfer system to be implemented in hostile environments. This technology has found application in many fields such as electric vehicles, PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) etc. The coupling between the primary and secondary is then presented to include the effects of parameter and operational frequency variation.

This paper suggests the inductive power collector using electromagnetic induction for railway vehicle such as the PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) system. Some ideas for inductive power collector design to improve the power transfer performance are presented. The inductive power of secondary part is related to mount of linked flux to secondary part by the length of air-gap, which is expected by such a system parameter as leakage reactance and magnetizing reactance. This paper will study for some performance of traditional transformer from equivalent circuit considering leakage reactance.

In this study, measured and calculated responses are compared in order to give how the static and dynamic responses occurred in steel railway bridges Sue to train loads could be calculated appropriately. From this, it is known that the static response ratios (measures / calculated) is high comparing to the highway blisses, and the dynamic response should be obtained by the moving mass problem. And it is known that the factors specifies in the present railway bridge code are very safe under the present service speed below 100 km/h, but are not under the rapid transit system above 100 km/h.

This paper describes an energy efficient train control. In these days, the researchers develop the energy efficient railway technologies, such as energy storage system, energy efficient driving. Mass rapid transit (MRT) railways, which are an important means of public transportation in urban areas, have operational characteristics that include short headways, frequent departures and arrivals. Therefore, when multiple trains are operating in the same power supply system, it is important to synchronize the energy tractions and regenerations. This paper define the group of trains for energy saving according to a power supply. We analyze the current synchronized driving situations and estimate the effect.

This study analyzed changes of train operation between Seoul~Cheonan after the introduction of new electrified rail in 2005. As expected number of passengers were reduced at specific service section and several railroad stations which were served by the Mugunghwa. Also, the statistic shows that passenter demand concentrated in a specific time, so train service frequency and level of service need to be modified to meet with changed demand pattern. The purpose of this paper is to identify critical demand pattern, especially, in several section of the railroad system. This studies provide a railroad transportation system that is significantly more efficient, with far greater capacity, by providing solutions to the problems of congestion impact.

This research provides a scheme for Highly Accelerated Stress Test that is necessary to demonstrate reliability prediction of Korean Rapid Transit Railway Train Control System sub-equipment, which is calculated by a relevant standard for failure rate prediction of electronic products. Although determining failure information generated in the process of trial running by statistic analysis is widely accepted as a measure of confirmation for reliability prediction, this research suggests the modeling for System Life Test determined by accelerating stress factors as a measure of confirmation for reliability prediction of sub-equipment unit that is generated ahead of a trial running in System Life Cycle. Consequently, the research demonstrates sub-equipment unit reliability test, which is based on the model derived from Accelerated Stress Test, according to accuracy level and the number of samples, and conducts an official experiment by making out a reliability test procedure sheet based on test time as well.

PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) can be described as a system of driverless taxicabs, that. automatically take passengers to their destinations along dedicated guideways, without intermediate stops.It is ideally suited as a short feeder transportation for on-demand circulation operations at train stations, airports, office complex, amusement park and shopping center. This PRT study do suggest that a PRT system could provide a high level of mobility to the commuters making work trips, workers making work, shopping and other non-work trips, residents making shopping and other non-work trips and recreational riders.This study presents the possibilities of PRT applications in national level. As the technology continues to advance, there may be opportunities to improve the reliability, and efficiency of our future public transportation systems.

Recently railway operators are doing a lot of researches and studies in order to apply reliability technologies to their maintenance tasks. The maintenance in the aviation and the munitions industry has been developed enough to be benchmarked with the high quality reliability technologies; however, railway industry is still situated in a rudimentary stage with insufficient & limited data. 5678 Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation, which has 17 year experience of the EMU maintenance and system development, has made a constant effort for appling RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance) to the maintenance for a few years. In this connection, the case study is to be introduced. This paper is based on 'RCM Gateway to World Class Maintenance' by Anthony M. Smith". The reliability technology are applied to the specific EMU and its system by 7 stages; accordingly, applying SMRT's maintenance experience, a unique standard for FMEA(failure mode effect analysis) & LTA(logical tree analysis) is established. Moreover, for reasonable and effective preventive maintenance tasks, the case considering an analysis of failure effects is selected in the final step 7. SMRT will develop reliability technologies through the application of the results to all the EMU systems.
