Air spring system in railway vehicles primarily ensure the air suspension of the vehicle body. The low natural frequency ensures a comfortable ride and an invariably good stiffness. In this paper, the characteristics and durability test was conducted in laboratory by using servo-hydraulic fatigue testing system to reliability evaluation of air spring for electric railway vehicle. The experimental results show that the characteristics and durability of domestic development productions are obtained the good results.

The conventional SCADA adopted for the electric railway has the mere function of controlling and monitoring the hardware itself. Lack of the functions necessary far the fault prevention and the system recovery requires the operators to depend on their intuition and experience. To make up far these shortcomings of the conventional SCADA, PIS(Power Information System) visually offers integrated information for the optimal operation of the power system by manipulating the raw data acquired from the SCADA. In this paper we have studied the variety of information and its feasibility that can be offered individually by PIS.

The conventional SCADA being used in the electric railway has the basic functions of remote controlling and system monitoring. Since the SCADA lacks the functions essential to the fault prevention and the system recovery, operators must depend on their intuition and experience to considerable extent. Visually integrated information offered by PIS contributes to the fast system recovery and the state judgment of the power system, and makes a novice be adapted for the operation easily. In this paper, we have studied the various functions and its feasibility that can be offered by PIS.

Now, the population and economical power is deeply concentrated to Seoul-metropolitan region, therefoere the provinces is so lagging behind and the country cannot get balance development. And, like metropolitan region, the more outer the living area of local wide-area city is spreading, the more serious wide-region transportation problems are. But the railroads near wide-area city fun seldom commuter train, so they cannot absorb the transportation demand of wide-area city metropolitan region. To solve above transportation problem, local wide- area cities try to make a subway or a light rail transit. But it is so difficult because the limit of public finance and original small capacity of light rail. In the paper, I propose 'Local city wide-area electric railways' system of the consortium of 'Local wide-city and province transportation union', Korean National Railroad (KNR) and local capital. A 'Local wide-city and province transportation union' operates commuter railways directly using the facilities of KNR, and local capital invests to the stations of above railways system. Therefore the commuter railway system around local wide-city region will be constructed quickly and the stations will be the strong point of local development and investment.

In electric railway, image monitoring using high speed camera provides reliable, timely information of wear and geometry status, important in taking decisions for overhead contact wire maintenance. The contribution of this research is the development of a simple real-time monitoring system for use in measurement subsystem of contact wire and geometry of overhead contact wire in electric railway. The system has been consists of a high speed CMOS camera with resolution $1024{\times}1280$ pixels, line type laser source and PC-based image acquisition system with PCI Express slot. Vision acquisition software have been used in application programming interface for image acquisition, display, and storage with a frequency of sampling of 500 acquisitions per second.

This paper presents the AC electric railway system modeling using PSCAD/EMTDC program. This system model is composed of the scott-transformer the auto-transformer. the running rails. the protection wires, the feeders. the catenary and contact wires, etc. After obtaining the models of the fundamental elements describing the AC electric railway system and its behavior, we have analyzed and tested real traction power feeding system focused on the amplification of harmonic current to verify the proposed model. The simulation results from the proposed approach and the measurement data from the test are described in the paper.

Overhead contact systems (OCS) consist of contact and messenger wires, in which the contact wire supplies electric energy to the railway vehicle by contacting a pantograph. However, this mechanical contact is interrupted during frosts or temperatures below $0^{\circ}C$ in the winter. In these conditions, railway vehicle accidents can occur during operation because of the low energy efficiency that results from the increase in the arcing between the contact wire and pantograph. Therefore, the detection of frost or freezing temperatures is necessary to maintain the stable operation of these trains. In this study, we proposed the development of a frost or freezing condition monitoring system on the OCSs that utilizes wireless communication.

It is one of the most effective methods for improving the performance of electric railway vehicles to make better the wheel-railway adhesion characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to develop the equivalent reduction machine to experiment on the adhesion system. The experiment system makes it possible to change the wheel-rail adhesion force with various adhesion parameters, and therewith to test the adhesion control system with the reduction machine in a laboratory.

This study presents the AC railway system modeled by EMTDC in detail. The ,model made by EMTDC have a lot of advantages. It could be available for the system change, simulated repeatedly and also applied regarding very complicated systems. EMTDC simulations to verify this model are compared with the hand calculations. It is confirmed that the model made by EMTDC is correctly designed.

Safety is important factor in railway system. Now most of the electric and electronic system which is applied in railway system is the embedded system which software is used. The constitution rate of software which is involved in railway system is gradually increasing. Most of the software which is used in railway system is implemented by the software developer. Thus the implemented code has different features according to the developer and this may cause the bad effect on the software's maintenance. International standard IEC 62279 requires an adoption the coding standard to developing the railway software. And it is plan to recommend complying with the coding standard in safety criteria for railway software which is noticed as the regulation of the Korean railway safety law. In this paper, we review the requirement of coding standards which is present in the software criteria for railway software and international standard. Also it investigates the coding standard which is in other safety related industry and presents the effective way to apply the software coding standard to domestic railway industry.
