Line type rigid bearings for Open-Steel-Plate-Girder railway bridges have several problems in service, and they are unstable structurally. A series of lateral resistance tests were performed for a retrieved line type bearing. A spherical bearing with advanced maintenance-capability and a device to resist the up-lift was developed and replaced the existing ones. An experiment of maintenance for a new spherical bearing under real Open-Steel-Plate-Girder bridge was conducted and their good maintenance performance was proved. Also, a test against up-lift was performed for the bearing. The dynamic behavior of the bridge was measured and analyzed for the two cases of the existing and replaced bearings. Therefore, the suitability of the new spherical bearings on the railway bridge was improved.

It is important to evaluate the power quality at a substation when a test train is running. Especially, the Korea Electric Power Company(KEPCO) restrict the power quality generated from the electrical train within limited value. So, this paper represents the results of the power quality test when Hanvit 350 is running at the KTX high speed line and the assessment.

In this paper, we investigate the scheme to improve the position accuracy using GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System). Then we configure the real-time DGPS environment with use of NTRIP currently being in service on the DGNSS central office of MLTM(Ministry of Land and Transportation). And we verify the improvement of position accuracy and the continuity of GPS correction data through the DGPS test in Chungbuk line and Joongang line.

Recently, freight cars for diverse purposes were developed to increase the speed of freight car in conventional line. The welded type bogies are applied to these vehicles like container car, gondola car, hopper car, etc. This study was focused on the dynamic characteristics and the stability of freight car to guarantee the running safety. We have conducted the running tests of freight cars in conventional line and described the test results in this paper.

This induced voltage measurement test and electromagnetic field simulation are related to the possibility of control signal malfunction by power line. Through an experiment, this research analyzed whether the voltage causing control malfunction according to the on/off status of power permitted to power line was induced to control signal line. Also, the research calculated the voltage induced to control signal line and examined the phenomenon by conducting an electro-magnetic field-specific simulation through the finite element method for the cable model used in the experiment.

The train control and monitoring system (TCMS) is an on board computer system in railway vehicles performing the control, supervisory and diagnostic functions of the complete train system. This system replaces a lot of hard-wired relays and minimizes the necessary vehicle wiring thus increasing the reliability of the train. It is also one of more important equipment on vehicle to implement much higher safety and reliability train system. We studied a software design technique of TCMS using a CASE tool that is a kind of safety critical software engineering tool (SCADE). This tool has mainly four functions such as the graphical editor, the document maker, tile automatically code generator, and the test simulator. The several functions of TCMS are implemented in this software easily programmed using a functional block diagram and a graphic programming language. We applied to automatically generated TCMS modules on the SCADE each functional block for the Standard type EMU in Korea. We performed the combination test using TCMS simulator and the running test in Seoul subway 7 Line. We proved that this technique is more useful for the software design of TCMS in urban transit

TPS (Train Performance Simulation) based on ATO (Automatic Train Operation) is required for driverless LRT (Light Rail Transit) operation plan instead of typical TPS based on driver operation. In this paper, new TPS model using ATO pattern is proposed and compared with the automatic train operation result in a test line of Seoul Metro Line 6 and in a whole line of Busan-Gimhae LRT. The actual ATO pattern can be very accurately simulated by new TPS model with the introduction of 4 parameters such as commercial braking rate, jerk, station stop profile and grade converted distance. The commercial scheduled time for driverless automatic train operation can be proposed to have "Fast" mode TPS trip time plus 3 seconds/km margin recommended by Korean standard LRT specification in this paper.

Comparative analysis it did the interior noise of the KTX vehicle and the P-P Semaeul vehicle from the conventional line Homan Seodaejeon-Hanam section from the research which it sees. The test result KTX vehicle appeared when the P-P Semaeul vehicle compared to 20 - 25 KM/H speed up operating commerce operation speed even, the standard values 66 dBA the lowers 55 - 62 dBA. P-P Semaeul vehicle interior noise of the identical test section 63 dBA it will compare and there is a possibility the KTX vehicle knowing from the existing line operating hour interior noise.

The railroad roadbed plays an important role in distributing and transferring the train loading to subgrade, preventing subgrade from bearing softened by providing appropriate stiffness for subgrade, and eventually supporting the track structures. Presently, the reinforced roadbed was widely constructed in high speed line and is proceeding a research about economical thickness and methodologies for the design of reinforced roadbed. Field test section is located at Kongbu line which is from Suwon to Pungtack. In this study, field test were measured a track irregularity with several types of reinforced roadbed materials by using Track Master. The field testing were conducted between March, 2006 and March, 2007.
