The ATO(Automatic Train Operation System) system is equipment for automatic and driverless operation of electric train with minimum control of operator. In this paper, we made ATO system with national technic and passed type test. We are convinced of reliability and safety of the ATO system on the seoul metro 7 line.

For efficient maintenance on urban transit infrastructure, computerized system using wireless communication system which allows to inquire necessary data and to record maintenance work on the spot in realtime is required. Also, for efficient maintenance progress on urban transit infrastructure which have geographic data, computerized system united with geographic information system that offers visual information is required. In this paper, investigations on new IT technology and on computerized system of foreign country are conducted. And development direction and model of computerized system for maintenance on urban transit infrastructure are proposed.

Reduction of noise level in the cabin of urban transit unit is an important issue to enhance the comfortability of passengers. It is made clear that a cause of increased noise level in cabin is the imperfect airtightness of entrance doors. In this study, the sliding-plug door system is developed to reduce the noise level of cabins by securing the airtightness of entrance door. The sliding-plug door system is composed of air-driven engine, swing arms, guide rails, guide rollers and locking devices. It is economical owing to using the previous door engine system. It is also adequate for the platform system of our subway station. It was tested to prove the reliability of system and was applied to standard urban transit unit. The effectiveness of noise reduction in cabin resulting form the sliding-plug door system was confirmed by test results.

Urban transit operation is to manipulate the vehicle or train of urban transit to be operated on the basis of the installations such as track, power, communication, signaling and so on. It can be performed by manual or automated, or manned or manless operation considering its system built, operation efficiency, safety, etc. Because of the heavy impact directly to the safety of passenger transport, it has been managed strictly by the Regulation for Train Operation of Urban Transit according to Urban Transit Act. However, the present regulation has been basis of the manual operation mainly, it is crossing beyond the limitation of application to the manless operation which is being introduced moment to moment. It is needed increasingly to revise the regulation for the manless operation which is close at hand now. In this paper, we examined and analysed the cases of manless operation of urban transit planed within the country such as Busan 4th Line, Shinbundang Line, Busan-Kimhae Line, etc. based on the present regulation, and proposed the review of considerations to reflec the manless operation to the regulation to be revised.

Propelled urban rail transit EMU's standardization/localization business receiving MOCT's assistance for 2001 years since 1995 in KRRI. But. urban rail transit is operated because signaling. electrical power. rail etc. as well as EMU connects each other. Therefore, receive MOCT's assistance since 2001 and is achieving standardization research about urban rail transit's infrastructure including signaling. Specially, is propelling standardization about CBTC way for expansive standardization hereafter in signaling part. Main contents of this urban rail transit's signaling standardization research are as following. - standard specification creation - development of core equipment for standardization specification verification - standard specification completion by core equipment testing & evaluation Is explaining about establishment of scheme and these contents for this urban rail transit's signaling's standard specification creation in this paper.

The security issue in urban transit system has been widely considered as the common matters after the fire accident at Daegu subway station. The safe urban transit system is highly demanded because of the vast number of daily passengers, and it is one of the most challenging projects. We introduced a test model for integrated security system for urban transit system and built it at a subway station to demonstrate its performance. This system consists of cameras, sensor network and central monitoring software. We described the smart camera functionality in more detail. The proposed smart camera includes the moving objects recognition module, video analytics, video encoder and server module that transmits video and audio information.

This paper is focused on implementing a real-time data acquisition system that checks power facility status by applying network based technology to Urban Transit substation power facilities and the results of its on-field tests. This system is composed of a sensor part, a measurement part, a transceiver part, a host computer, and a power source part. The system is designed to collect, save, analyze, and display the online state power facility AI (Analog Input). This system measures voltage and current from positive feeders and negative feeders where it is possible to check abnormalities of the substation‘s main power facilities. By monitoring abnormal data of the Urban Transit power facilities real-time and analyzing stored data, establishing procedures of optimized maintenance is possible.

The CCTV, closed circuit television, system is the most popular method to monitor some specific area. The CCTV-based monitoring system is composed of a lot of cameras installed the areas, and monitors to display the vision through the cameras. However, these systems have limitations to prevent some problems or to cope with the problems promptly, because they can carry out only the function that shows us the analogue images of the cameras. Especially, urban transit service area is the space where many people crowd in all at the same time and the space is not only wide but also distributed sporadically. This paper presents the efficient plan for video-based monitoring system to monitor urban transit service area. To build the efficient monitoring system, it is necessary to devide the monitoring area to appropriate sectors that should be composed to be displayed at a time. If the proposed method is used to construct the video-based monitoring system, the operating officers in the urban transit have the more direct and real images.

Urban transit system must secure fast, safe and reliable transportation capacity as a metropolitan mass transit. For this purpose, it is important to make all the sub-systems (which consist of EMU, power feeding, signaling & telecommunication, railway, platform facility, and control system and so on) work well. To operate all the systems effectively and reliably, a maintenance measure optimal to each system's characteristics is needed to be established and executed. So, highly reliable maintenance should be performed. But, EMU maintenance methods suitable to its own model and EMU lines are not yet introduced. This study examined few examples mainly to secure reliability on a maintenance quality in operating method and the features of train maintenance system based on travel distance.

Urban transit is defined as "Transportation facilities and carriage by track like railway where is constructed and operated in urban area" in Korean urban railway law. Several hundreds of urban transits are operated in the world, and Korea also has 19 lines 590km in several cities like Seoul, Busan etc. In this paper, we classify urban transits and describe the general characteristics of urban transit. And then review major technical issues and present the direction to technical progress.
