Usually, railway axles are designed for infinite life based on endurance limit of the material and the axle is not fractured immediately when a surface crack initiated. The railway axles have been inspected regularly by NDT such as ultrasonic testing, magnetic testing and eddy current testing and so on. Because the axle failure is profoundly influenced by the probability of missing a fatigue crack during an NDT inspection, it is necessary to evaluate the Non Destructive Interval of railway axle. In the present paper, the Non Destructive Interval of railway axle based on fracture mechanics and finite element analysis was investigated. It was shown that the Non Destructive Interval of railway axle can be evaluated using fracture mechanics approach and extended using NDT which a crack can detect clearly.

Recently, the Korean government has been making efforts to achieve 'creative economy' based on science and technology. As part of these efforts, it has been promoted specific policies for innovation and performance enhancement of national R&D projects. They contains commercialization of research outcomes, technology transfer, technology based startup and support small and medium-sized businesses. The railroad transportation industry is a representative in the field of SOC and has own characteristics different from other industry areas. Especially, industry and market of railroad transportation are directly related to planning and implementation of government SOC policies. So in order to promoting commercialization of railroad transportation projects, it is very important to ensure consistency between government policies and R&D projects. In this paper, we investigate barriers of successful commercialization with typical researchers in the area of railroad transportation, and suggest problems and improvements of policy-based commercialization by giving specific examples.

According to the 'Rules on the Safety Standard of Railroad Facilities', the 'Detailed Safety Standards of Railroad Facilities' and 'the Standards for Railroad Design' unified of MLTM(Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs), the risk analysis on the application of fire safety facilities should be quantitatively performed to ensure the safety in tunnels over 1km long. This paper aims at proposal of basic data for the safety facilities' planning with reasonable and appropriate scale through case studies on different model tunnels.

Safety requirment or guidance have been developing for a long time in the UIC, Germany, France, and Japan etc. Also, In Korea, the Ministry Construction & Transportation make an progress about this issue, document, called 'railroad tunnel safety standards 6th draft', was developed. In this paper, we'll show standard of other country and compare with Korea draft. next, we'll show some kind of railroad safety facility and installations and explain a relationship of safety issue and standards

Certification is the process of issuing a certificate to indicate conformance with a standard, a set of guidelines or some similar document. Any organization or individual may issue a certificate. In some cases a certificate may be required for legal reason. In such circumstance the certificate takes on the role of a licence from a statutory authority. In railway industry safety has always been the first concern. To achieve certification, specific safety management is required. In this paper, different types of safety management process through out the world are mentioned, and safety management structure appropriate to our circumstance is represented.

In this paper, the results of safety activities for Airport Railroad are introduced according to CENELEC standards. The procedures of safety activity were redefined as 6 phases such as Requirement Analysis phase, Design phase, Manufacture phase, Installation phase, Test & Commissioning phase and Operation phase to ensure the coincidence with 14 phases recommended in CENELEC standard. And the safety activities were implemented in the aspect of the overall E&M system level and in the aspect of each system level for 6 sub-systems consisting of that E&M system to ensure the safety for Airport Railroad using the general methodology such as FMECA.

The train control system using radio is based on the radio communication between an on-board control system and a ground control system unlike other train control systems that rely on track circuit. To realize a new train control system based on a new principle, it is important to analyze safety in a systematic manner at an early stage, and identify important factors for the system. For this reason, we think a procedure that select hazards and identify their causes and allocate safety requirements to such hazards. This paper describes this procedure to realize system safety.

This study suggest a way to improve duty process of KTX(Korea Train Express) high-speed train driver. A new operating system which based on safety was introduced to operate high-speed train which travel above 300km/h on the high-speed railroad but below 200km/h on the general railroad. There were some studies on the operation of high-speed train which travel on the high-speed railroad and on the general railroad with safety. However they overlooked the elements of human errors. The duty-load of KTX train driver's 14 basic operation processes was measured using NASA-TLX and found four processes with high duty-load. In this paper, critical tasks of the high duty-load processes are determined using a questionnaire. Some suggestions which include the improvement of facilities, operating system and operating skill are proposed to lighten duty-load of the critical tasks. The validity of the proposed new task processes is demonstrated by making question to KTX train driver. To use this results cost-benefit analysis, hazards analysis etc. should be performed additionally.

한국형 고속철도시스템은 최고운행속도 350km/h로 주행하는 고속열차(시제열차 7량 편성)의 개발에 성공하여 현재 시운전 시험을 통해 신뢰성과 안정성을 검증하고 있다. 국내 기술로 새롭게 개발된 한국형 고속철도 시스템은 고속운행에 따른 엄격한 안전요구사항을 만족해야 하며, 특히 고속-대량의 수송수단으로서 승객의 안전을 최우선으로 하기 때문에 다른 어떠한 시스템보다 엄격한 안전확인 및 성능검증을 위한 철저한 시험평가 과정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 한국형 고속철도 시스템 개발에 적용한 안전설계 요건의 분석내용을 제시하고, 고속철도 차량시스템의 안전성능 요건을 입증하기 위한 성능시험 체계로서 구성품 시험, 완성차시험(단차 및 편성 시험) 및 시운전 시험으로 구분한 한국형 고속철도 차량시스템에 대한 성능시험기준안을 소개하고자 한다.

Railroad line capacity is influenced by Quantitative and Qualitative factors which is applied by parameter to calculate it. But these parameters have been used experiential value without analyzing its reasonability or appropriate level. In this paper, we introduce the concept of robustness to Quantify parameter and evaluate robustness of it. For this purpose, we develop parameter evaluation simulator and present it. If this simulator is utilized, we can find the parameter having appropriate robustness and it will be applied to calculate more reasonable and systematic railroad line capacity.
