The depth electrode technique, especially using the occipito-temporal route is widely used in the clinic, since it is known to be the most precise method about the invasive study of the mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. The depth electrode with the occipito-temporal route has been applied with manual calculation of MR images. Inherently there are some factor causing significant errors due to geometrical axis alignment, such as miss alignment of horizontal or vertical cutting line. In order to correct it in manually, it takes a long time. In this study, authors has developed the software for automate calculation of MRI wording for instance calculation and for the no time delaying operation. Authors could show that this software is useful for the clinic after applying if for 33 cases of the patients.

The alignment design is one of the most influencing elements in earth work for the railway design. The amount of earth work mostly depends on the route, and the construction cost for railway construction largely depends on it. For this reason. it is necessary to develop a program for the construction cost estimation by route alternatives. This study introduces a program for the estimation of the earth work amount including the logics and the way to use.

This paper presents a GIS-based method of spatial analysis that can be applied to the line determination in traffic infrastructure project . It is based on the spatial analysis of the sensitivity or suitability of areas relating to the integration of new infrastructure routes, carefully considering the requirement of intervention optimizing . It makes the comparison of alternatives and a final selection of a"best route " easier, offers new possibilities and simplifies and accelerates the whole process of line determination. The developed method for route-alignment is tried out by an example project for road planing in Germany. It point out that during the line determination all aspects can be equivalently and adequately evaluated. So this method is well suited as a new tool within a line determination procedure and can bring enormous advantages in the planning process of traffic infrastructure projects. projects.

The railway route and alignment planning have been executed with a limited number of alternatives based on the site pre-survey and the topographic map. This study developed an intelligent railway alignment planning program (ei-Rail) which can derive all the considerable design alternatives and provide the data for the alternative evaluation such as constructions cost, operation cost, and etc. According to the comparisons with prevailing planned railway projects, the time and cost for planning can be reduced as well as the construction costs. This program may contribute to the development of railway industry by reducing the time and cost for planning as well as the total project cost.

The 3-D analysis of terrain for route design and selection is being used as important basic data for effective judgement of political draft. This study is to decide efficient alignment of the entry route and design bridge by modeling, analyzing and displaying surface with digital terrain data. In this study we analyze slope, aspect, shaded-relief, line of sight and watershed on the base of DTM such as contour, TIN and grid. And we can not only esti mate end-area volume for road construction by calculating cut and fill and displaying mass-curve but also recognize the scene after execution with simulation of road and terrain. The result of this study reveals that visual effects of the 3-D terrain data are very effective for designer and decisionmaker to select and review alternative route with regard to terrain characteristics.

Route selection needs the analysis function of GSIS to analyze and manipulate a lot of spatial information efficiently. Therefore, it needs the linkage of system requiring the knowledge and the experience of experts as a method that can estimate each quantitative route for an efficient route selection. In this study, the route selection model through construction and analysis procedure of position information using GSIS were presented, and route selection system linked with expert system was developed. This system is easy to be used and managed for presenting route alignment according to conditions as a graphic user interface environmental window system by applying three tiers based object-oriented method. Using GSIS, the various information required for route selections in database was constructed, the characteristics of subject area by executing three-dimensional terrain analysis was grasped effectively, and the control point through buffering, overlay and location operation was extracted. Three alternative routes between a beginning point and an end point inputted by route selection system were selected. Therefore, the applications of the route selection system are presented by applying this system to the real study area.

Infrastructure costs could be greatly reduced if the need for bridges and tunnels was reduced, or if the line could be shortened. Tilting trains might be a less costly alternative to building new tracks with large curve radii, because tilting trains can negotiate tighter curves without having to decrease their speeds. Tracks built for tilting trains would be cheaper, as they require fewer bridges and tunnels. This paper compares the construction costs of two different options for the new Dodam-Yeoncheong section on the Central line, which includes 148.65 km of new electrified double-track with a design speed of 250 km/h. The first option is to straighten the high-speed line. The second option is to build a line with small radii curves and run tilting trains on the line. In the first option, tunnels would account for about 51% of the new section. In comparison, the second option would have shorter curves and fewer tunnels and bridges which would reduce construction costs. Furthermore, alignment modifications could be made to several segments on the straight line, making the most of the existing roadbed. The analysis concluded that the line suited to tilting trains would be 95.7 million USD cheaper to build the straight route. That is a savings of 2.8% of the total project cost. However, this option would increase the total travel time of the route by 1.2 minutes, which means it is not necessarily the best choice.

It is important role that railway speed up plays in realizing an affluent society in future. Curved lines zone have crucial effects on the speed of train travel, at the curved lines zone, it requires to set cant and slack for safety running of train and comfortable ride of passengers, a compromise is therefore to accept a certain degree of cantdeflciencyforthevarioustrain. In this study, it was presented that effective maintenance method according to the investigation of cant value in radius of curvature and analysis safety running of train, calculation of lateral acceleration as cant deficiency, and we obtain the effect of speed up appling route alignment improvement parameter in curved lines zone.

The appropriateness of railway route design is generally evaluated by the future value corresponding to the travel demand or benefit-cost analysis. These methods may have the limitation for the reasons that all the design alternatives cannot be considered, and the differentiation between the alternatives may not be significant because the alternatives are based on the strict basic scheme such as the design criteria. In addition, the cost varies by the design elements. In this study, all the design alternatives are considered with the automatized tool and the design criteria, and evaluated with the multi-criterion decision making method. The weight for each design element with the analytic hierarchical process may be helpful to derive more efficient railway alignment.
