Seoul Metropolitan Urban Railroad has an undecided route that does not estimate the passenger transportation route. For this reason, the fare of the urban railroad is calculated by the assumption that passengers pass through the minimum distance. Therefore, if a transfer station on the urban railroad is added, the trip shortest distance could be decreased and the fare also reduced. In this study, this phenomenon defines the fare paradox(Shin, 2022) and estimates the impact of the fare paradox by opening the GTX-A. For this purpose, a scenario before and after the opening of the GTX-A has been established, and an additional fare has been estimated by proportional planning of the Seoul Metropolitan Integrated Distance Based Fare Policy. Fare Paradox was analyzed to about 0.024 % of daily income. It is expected to be used as a plan to determine a rate policy, such as the establishment of a GTX-A, B, C, D, and a light rail line.

In this paper we investigated a variety of candidate trains in KORAIL and Seoul Metro Corp. for an experimental driving which would be in the prosecution of making functional and performance experimentation for the specified manual by this project. We examined many preliminary out-of-service trains and some kinds of spare trains to secure two composition of test-trains for CBTC evaluation and studied a remaking scheme to convert control vehicles of these trains to CBTC-functioned ones to choose a most suitable ones of them, so we will be make traveling tests on the test railroad with them.

The circumstance as platform and tunnel is very important in evacuation from passenger train car on fire. The comparison of egress modeling by SIMULEX, PATHFINDER, STEPS was conducted in order to analyze for the influence of platform to egress from subway car. Model subway car is seoul metro subway car. Model platform was designed by code 'Complementary design guide for connecting and convenience facilities, and urban subway station'.

As a result of the examination analyzed loop type of Detecting the Broken Rail Monitoring System as a part of prevention of train derailment, installed in the Seoul Metro No. 2 subway line 98.51m section which is Samsung to Seolleung, we found that it is possible to detect crack location(Thermit welding: 48.18m) within the margin of error of ${\pm}1m$ accurately As analysis of the first day, third day, fifty day, and seventh day periodically, we found that Fresnel reflection happened where the crack location 48.18m. However other 3 branches show loss by bending of optical cable(spread reflection from the outside impact).

A "failure point informing device" is that if a accident of short or ground occurs in electric railway it inform us of the distance to accident point. SeoulMetro, KRRI, 2ISYS have developed this device and installed in line no.4 substation Iy-Chon, Sam-Gakgi to test its performance. A line resistance will be measured to test this device in November.

Global warming is one of the hottest issues which should be solved for future generations. Technologies which prevent the increase of environmental warming are highlighted as the global average temperature increases. Electric vehicles (EVs) are considered to be one of the powerful solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emission. To spread the EV industry, a major premise is that a charging infrastructure is available anywhere the EV operates. In this paper, we will present the demonstration of ' EV quick charging system to the rail power grid' which are cooperated by LS CNS, Seoul Metro and Korea Railway Research Institute.

Objective of this study was to characterize $PM_{10}$ sources on subway tunnels and development of simple particulate matters measuring device based on wireless sensor network. A new wireless sensor module, PMX, has been designed and manufactured to measure $PM_{10}$ and$PM_{2.5}$ simultaneously. The measurements have been conducted at a specific subway station on the Seoul metro line. The accuracy of the device was verified and compared with commercial measuring device based on weighting method.

This study is examination of application on site for performance and stability of real-time broken rail detection equipment development system about connection, welded part occurring data errors of broken rail monitoring system. As a result of analysis about data collected in Seoul Metro No.2 Subway from Mar. 2010 to Jan. 2011, we found it is possible to detect crack location(Thermit welding) within the margin of error of ${\pm}1m$ accurately as the first attenuation was -1.2dB and the second was -1.3dB.

EMU(Electric Multiple Unit) of Seoul Metro are equipped with air conditioning and six line flow fans for air circulation. In summer, the air conditioning and line flow fans usually work at the same time. Recently, high oil price leads more people to use public transportation, which in turn makes them feel hotter inside the rolling stocks and complain about air conditioning state. In order to improve indoor air quality in summer, it is inevitable to increase the cooling capacity of air conditioners, which costs a lot of money. Thus, we need to raise cooling efficiency by rearranging existing devices effectively. In this study, we found a better way to improve refreshment inside the trains by changing the operation method of line flow fans and door opening systems. The results will help improve the cooling efficiency of EMU in summer. Also, more precise experiments and analyses of our data can lead to various methods to increase energy efficiency.

Subway stations have a characteristic that the facilities in the ceiling should be checked, replaced and expanded frequently. The new installation of supports (steel anchors) for new facilities and workers moving-around in the ceiling result in the damage in the ceiling finish material and concrete structure which also result in construction cost increase. In addition, the noise, vibration and dust generated during the work harm the station environment. There are civil complaints on these which give difficulty to ceiling works. Accordingly, this study suggests a ceiling frame construction method that considers the convenience, economy and efficiency of ceiling work by improving the support installation method for facilities in ceiling.
