Korea selected to introduce high-speed railway system from advanced countries in order to accumulate railway technologies and develop exiting domestic logistics system. After many twists and turns, we adopted to introduce France's high-speed railway called 'TGV'. Despite many difficulties along with trials and errors, it is expected that Korean high-speed railway will be brilliantly launched in April 2004, although it has been commissioned for multi-discipline tests. It is forecast that the opening of high-speed railway will bring us the epoch-making development of logistics system. However, what if there are really some problems in the operation of high-speed railway? We cannot consider and highlight only the positive aspects of our own high-speed railway. In terms of many challenging aspects we would face in the future, there would be some matters we must consider and point out in this opportunity. In this regard, the direction for developing high-speed railway stations requires the harmony between profitability and public benefits, which must involve compatibility with other traffice systems and practical policies to secure competitive edges.

Korean Train Express (KTX) has opened to commercial traffic since 2004 at maximum speed 300km/h. As the speed of the train becomes higher, the conditions of the rail affect the behavior of the running train. To secure the safety and reliability of high speed railway, it is necessary to inspect rail irregularities and to maintain the rail regularly. The authors designed the high speed rain measurement system over 300km/h. And we installed the system to Korea High-speed Railway (HSR 350x). In this paper, we introduce the high speed rail measurement system for HSR 350x and show verification of the performance of the system through test runs.

Due to speed acceleration, higher requirements have been put forward to high speed railway communication and signaling system. The railway applications, including intra-train, train to ground and trackside networks, demand larger bandwidth, higher reliability and shorter response time from railway communication networks to ensure security operation and passenger communication. However, the current railway communication and signaling system has lagged behind the railway development, so advanced communication technologies are needed to improve the current situation. This paper presents high speed railway communication and signaling system based on 4G LTE technology, introduces its network architecture, key technology and analyzes its technical advantages compared with GSM-R system. According to analysis, LTE based high-speed railway communication network is more effective and reliable.

Generally, Urban railway have special characteristics with short distance journey and minimum headway intercity transportation. These days, urban railway operators choose the driverless operation system without driver. On the contrary, Conventional & high speed railway utilize for long distance and high speed running. Because of special conditions of freight railway operation compared with urban railway, operation of conventional & high speed railway is showed very different characteristics. In this paper, We compares different operation scheme of urban railway and conventional & high speed railway and then present condition for train control system based on radio.

The decline of railway industry been a world-wide phenomenon. Recently, increased attention has therefore of railway systems has considerable impacts on the existing transport systems. Korea is expecting a era of high-speed railway and thus the need for the preexamination of such system emerges. This study is therefore concerned with the impacts on the conventional railway systems of the planned high-speed railway and its policy implication. The results revealed that the high-speed railway is almost exclusive to the conventional railway system emerges. This study is therefore concerned with the impacts on the conventional railway systems of the planned high-speed railway and its policy implication. The results revealed that the high-speed railway is almost exclusive to the conventional railway systems. The only impact is to induce some users of the conventional railway services, resulting in some excess track capacity of Kyungbu line. It dose however appear not to have any influence on the level of service for the conventional passenger services and rail freight transport. Consequently, it appears desirable to pay as much attention to the conventional railway systems as to the high-speed railway.

Derailment due to wheel failure would cause a tremendous social and economical cost in service operation. It is necessary to evaluate quantitatively the safety with respect to high-speed train. Although the safety of railway wheel has been ensured by an regular inspection, all critical defects cannot be detected in inspection cycles and the wheel has been replaced because a defect quickly become critical for safety. Therefore, it is important to calculate quantitatively the fracture limit and remnant life of damaged railway wheel in wheel-rail system. In present paper, the critical crack size of wheel for high-speed train is simulated based on fracture scenario and the safety of wheel is evaluated.

This study examined the overall measurement system for the power dispersed high speed railway with 400km/h of maximum test speed. The measuring system evaluating an efficiency, stability and reliability is important for developing the high speed railway. In order to organize the comprehensive measuring system, it is needed to determined the test item, a number of channel and the specifications of the measurement system. In this study, we made lists for the performance evaluation tests of the next generation high speed railway expected to be developed in the future, and prepared generalization channel sheets for the specification of the overall measurement system. In addition, the specifications for the measuring system were discussed and synthesized.

In this paper, an effect on power conversion unit in high-speed railway vehicle by loss of contact between a catenary system and pantograph suppling electrical power to high-speed railway vehicle are investigated. One of the most important needs accompanied by increasing the speed of high-speed railway vehicle is reduced that arc phenomenon by loss of contact brings out EMI. in case of high-speed railway vehicle using electrical power, as comparison with diesel rolling stock, PLD(Power Line Disturbance) such as harmonic, transient voltage and current, EMI, dummy signal injection etc usually occur. To analysis the effect on loss of contact, it is necessary electrical modeling system between the contact line and the pantograph according to the loss of contact. Therefore analytical model of a contact line and a pantograph is constructed to simulate the behaviour of loss of contact. The reliability of the modeling system is verified by simulation implementation on kinds of loss of contact.

This paper is focused on a relationship between the noise and vibration of a wheelset and the railway irregularity of a high speed railway using a time-varying frequency transform for a preliminary research of the railway condition monitoring by an in-service high-speed railway vehicle. Generally, the monitoring has been performed by a special railway inspection vehicle or industrial engineers for railway maintenance. However, they have been limited at night due to the in-service high-speed railway vehicles, and too slow to monitor all of the section. To solve this problem, the monitoring should be performed by an in-service high-speed railway vehicle. For the research, the noise and vibration of a wheelset are utilized, because they are closely related to the railway condition. They are measured by using some microphones and accelerometers, and stored in an on-board data acquisition system. The signals are post-processed by a time-varying frequency analysis and compared with the result of a railway geometry and profile measurement system. From the comparison, it is able to observe the relationship between the noise and vibration of a wheelset and the irregularity of a high-speed railway. Also, some distinct frequency components are observed, which are not observed in the railway geometry and profile.
