Dynamic model of the Korea standardized rubber-tired AGT light rail vehicle, and boundary conditions between vehicle and infrastructures (running track, guidance rail) were defined to analyze vehicular vibration behaviors occurred at the worst condition for straight running track. Using the commercialized software RecurDyn, resultant forces and vibration accelerations of car body and bogies were analyzed. Based on the Korea performance test criteria for urban transit, vertical and lateral vibration of car body were calculated and evaluated as wearing condition of guide wheels. And resultant forces between bogie guidance frame and guide rail in straight running track were analyzed. As the results, the Korea standardized rubber-tired AGT light rail vehicle satisfied the performance criteria and design requirement .

It appears that the rapid advance in technology has allowed to broaden the variety of rail systems technology, thereby fostering new business opportunity in rail industry. The direction of rail systems operations is mainly two fold. In one direction, long distance operations between mega cities are pursued with help of high speed trains under development. In the other case, relatively short distance operations for covering intra-city or suburban area are becoming popular. A good example of the latter case is light rail transit (LRT) systems. Due to the short distance operation, it is thus expected that both the development and operation cost for LRT systems be reduced to some extent. The cost reduction desired in there can be gained by scaling down the sizes of both the trains and stations as compared to those of normal rail systems. However, it is not well known how the LRT stations can be scaled down. The objective of this paper is to study on how to slim down the stations (particularly, the functions room) of LRT systems. To achieve the objective, an approach is studied based on a modified method of design structure matrix (DSM). Specifically, using the enhanced DSM method, an integrated architecture is developed for the functions room, in which equipments are housed to perform the functions of electricity, signaling, and communication for LRT stations. The use of the result indicates that the desired reduction can be obtained with the approach taken in the paper.

The railway structure for a rubber-wheeled automated guide-way transit system consists of a driveway and a guide-way. The most important factor of this system is the driveway and the guide-way aligned with each other, especially for curves and inclines section. The conventional construction method caused many problems such as discordancy by constructing the driveway before constructing the guide-way. Therefore, in this paper we introduce a new method of constructing a railway for a rubber-wheeled light rail vehicle; the new method of constructing the guide-way beforehand as a preceding process. The new method for AGT railway system can simplify the construction process and thus the construction costs may be reduced. It should also improve the driving performance and the comfortability in operating of a light rail vehicle.

The objective of this paper is to study how to apply the functional models in the design reviews and the validation of the subsequent design specifications and standards in the urban rail transit standardization program. The functional models can be obtained based on the requirements. Specifically, the requirements are first represented by the use case and sequence diagrams and then the results are transformed into the functional models using the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) diagrams and the FFBD (Functional Flow Block Diagram) and others. Based on the results of the study, it can be checked whether the original requirements have been reflected properly in the designs. Also, it can be seen that how the possible changes in the requirements affect the functions and thus how the designs should be changed accordingly.

The purpose of this study is based on the optimize the system life cycle cost apply to the advanced systems engineering techniques consideration thought to the system life cycle for the power system which is the one of the major component of the light rail transit system. Generally, the systems engineering techniques apply to the LRT's power systems are not optimize the whole life cycle cost of the power systems because systems engineering management activities are concentrate in performing the key-technology oriented at the construction stage of the dedicated power systems for light rail transit. Through this study, All the stakeholders can be utilize a this advanced systems engineering techniques which is fully considered the life cycle cost through the considering in whole system life cycle (such as concept, design, operation, maintenance and dispose stage as well as construction stage) and adopted by KSX ISO/IEC 15288 system life cycle processes.

Light Rail Transit(LRT) is a large scale complex system which combines rolling stocks, power supply, signal communication, tracks & stations, and hundreds of billions of wons per project are spent for construction. Therefore efficient integration of sub-systems is very important. The systems engineering is a good method to reduce the cost and risk of LRT project. In this paper, we introduce a research plan on the application of systems engineering to LRT project. We, Korea Railroad Research Institute(KRRI), launched a research program with 4 companies, which is support by the governmen and project period is 4.5 years. Main research topic is to develop the technology for the application of systems engineering technical process to LRT project based on ISO/IEC 15288.

Suppliers in light rail transit project makes a systems engineering management plan(SEMP) as a top level plan which has a SEMS and SEDS as an control and monitoring means. In this paper, we analyze the international standards and some related documents, and present the directions to make the SEMS and SEDS which have WBS, accomplishments, schedule, events, person in charge. And then customize the project management tool and make SEMS and SEDS of LRT project as an example. The research results can be applied in LRT project after tailoring based on the project.
