Recently, the railway has been growing as the eco-friendly transport which is excellent for reducing carbon dioxide. However, the level of using tools to quantitatively and objectively evaluate the environmental performance is still low in the rail industry. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce Environmental Product Declaration(EPD) which describes the environmental performance by using Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) for evaluating the environmental impacts through entire life cycle of a product. The EPD enables stakeholders including policy makers, operation body, vehicle manufacturers and drivers and consumers to be informed about the superior environmental performance of rail vehicles.

The use of composite materials for the carbody structures of tilting train has many advantages because of manufacturing variety, specific high-strength & stiffness characteristics, and long-life durability, but the strongest advantage is the possibility of lightweight product. In the leading countries, the composite materials are used for the material for drivers' cabs, interior/exterior equipments for railway train, and it is now developing the composite materials applied for the train carbody structure. In this paper, we conducted the evaluation of structural stability for the all aluminum carbody, all composite carbody and hybrid carbody structures of the Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX) with the service speed of 180km/h.

In this paper, driving functions of the Korea High-speed Trains were decomposed based on systems engineering architecture. In order to analyze the driving function, various systems engineering tools and methods were used. Moreover, interfaces of decomposed driving functions were analyzed to figure out purposes of the driving functions. Through activity modeling of driving function of the Korea High-Speed Trains, main functions were derived when starting, speeding and stopping. When the high speed train is speeding, pre-departure checks and wheel slide prevention are essential driving activities for the safety and when the high speed train runs high speed, maintaining driving stability by monitoring bogie hunting and monitoring drivers' safe operation by vigilance systems is important. Furthermore, when the train is braking, the driver should checks brake and suspensions as safety actions.

An automatic train operation(ATO) system executes the operation of constant speed travelling and fixed point parking by using microprocessors instead of drivers manual operation. This paper describes the mathematical model for the train considering unknown disturbances which consist of start resistance, travelling resistance, slope resistance, curve resistance, and so on. The speed controller of ATO system is designed by considering the disturbances. The simulation is executed to verify the speed control and fixed point parking performance and to compare its performance with that of a PID-type ATO control system under disturbances. Simulation results show that the control performance of gain scheduled control scheme fur ATO system is better than that of the conventional PID controller.

Door Inside Lamp of railway rolling stock is installed on interior of the side doors and illuminated at door opening and closing, isolation and fault. So drivers or passengers can notice the door status visually. In the past, a single color or Bi-color LED Lamps have been using and one ~ multiple lamp was used to implement the feature according to client's requirements. (Example: Total of between 2 and 4 lamps are required for the Warning / Emergency operation / Isolation / Fault.) However these design is not easy to apply if there is the mounting space restrictions and the problems such as rising costs can be caused. In addition, it has vulnerability from point of view aesthetic aspects. Therefore the lamp type has been required that has small size and number of colors in order to resolve these problems. Recently multi LED type door status indication lamp have been developed that can meet the requirements and this lamp has been applied in many railway projects. In this study, I'll introduce the general characteristics and mechanical & electrical characteristics of multi LED type door status indication lamp to help development of this kinds of lamp.

Recently, various types of trains are being operated in the same railroad whose designated stop stations are not the same. In other words, each train does not stop at every station. This could cause the pass-through accidents in which a train passes a station where it is supposed to stop. Although the number of train accidents is on the decrease, this type of error is still an important problem to be resolved. It is true that the burdens of train drivers are growing because the number of high speed trains and non-stop stations is increasing in the current railway system. However, another major reason for this accident is that there is no prevention system for these errors in the current train control system although it is being constantly improved. The purpose of this study is to reinforce the train stop system with wireless communication equipment in order to decrease this type of accident and to maximize the safety of railway transportation.

본 연구는 기관사가 지하철 가/감속 장치인 마스콘을 구동 할 때의 시간에 따른 근피로도 변화를 근전도를 이용하여 측정 및 분석하였다. 기관사들은 대부분 하루에 평균 4시간 정도를 상지를 이용하여 마스콘을 구동한다. 4개의 근전도 채널을 상지의 어깨세모근(deltoid muscle), 위팔노근(brachioradialis muscle), 위팔 두갈래근(biceps brachii muscle) 그리고 자쪽 손목 굽힘근(flexor carpi ulnaris muscle)에 부착하여 각 상황에 따른 근전도 신호를 중앙주파수(MF)를 구하여 그 피로도를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 운행 30분 후 10명의 피험자(실제 기관사)의 80%이상의 중앙주파수 값이 유의하게 감소하였다. 이 결과는 30분의 마스콘 구동만으로도 기관사의 상지 근육에 피로를 유발함을 의미한다.

본 논문에서는 개인은 물론 조직에 치명적인 해악을 초래하고 엄청난 경쟁력 상실을 가져오는 도시철도기관사의 스트레스를 알아보고 기관사의 직무 스트레스에 대처하는 방안들을 모색하였다. 도시철도기관사의 직무스트레스로 인하여 발생되는 여러 스트레스에 미치는 악영향의 요인을 최소한 줄이기 위해서는 첫째, 전문성 제고를 위한 교육훈련 확대 및 사고발생시 기관사에 대한 보호조치로 시설개선이 필요하다. 둘째, 정신적 보상이나 조직시스템 등이 직무스트레스를 유발하므로 경영자의 리더십 교육과 같은 전형적인 조직차원의 접근이 근본적인 문제를 해결할 수 있을 것이다. 셋째, 개인적 차원에서의 규칙적인 운동, 금주 등의 바른 생활습관으로 직무스트레스를 낮춘다. 넷째, 과도한 성과 지향과 불공정한 평가를 피하고 기관사의 심리상태를 이해함으로써 근무환경을 개선하고, 근무시간을 조정하는 등의 조직적 차원에서의 복합적인 건강증진 및 관리프로그램 등 제도적 장치를 마련하는 것이 필요하다.

Seoul Metro has been continuously growing after its foundation on August 15, 1974 and is currently acting the leading role in the city transportation which is now used by 4,130 thousand people (as of early 2011) on a daily average. The number of the electric rail cars also increased significantly from 60 cars at the time of foundation to 1,954. And the types of the cars also started and operated with the rheostatic control cars in the 70s to the chopper control cars in the 80s and VVVF control cars in the 90s. But the control devices of the driver's cabs haven't been accustomed to the drivers because of it's diversity. Therefore, This study carried out the survey for the preferences of control devices from the incumbent drivers at Seoul Metro. And we analyzed it and suggest a method for standardization of it's locating and naming the major control devices in the driver's cab as the consideration of their preference for it's efficiency, safety, and convenience.
