LRT(Light Rail Transit), which has many merits compared with Heavy Rail Transit, is an effective public transport. Therefore, many local governments are pushing ahead with LRT. Busan had already adopted LRT(AGT)s like Busan Subway Line 4(Bansong Route) and Busan Gimhae Light Rail Transit(BGLRT) domestically for the first time. This study analyzes user satisfaction about the services of adopted LRTs and set right priorities of remeding their shortcomings from the user's perspective. In this paper, we surveyed safety consciousness and services satisfaction of LRT(BGLRT) users, and made two User Satisfaction Models of each LRT(BGLRT and Bansong Route) using Structural Equation Model. With established User Satisfaction Models(BGLRT Model and Bansong Route Model), we compared BGLRT and Bansong Route. Finally we found the measures and priorities for the improvements of LRT's services in the aspect of LRT users.

1974년에 서울지하철 1호선이 개통된 이래, 지하철은 대도시의 교통난 해소에 중추적인 역할을 하고 있으며, 현재에도 많은 지하철건설이 계획되고 있다. 그러나 지하철 건설에 소요되는 막대한 예산과 공공교통이라는 명분에 의한 이용요금의 경직성 때문에 발생되는 운영비용의 적자로 인해서, 보다 경제적이고 효율적인 새로운 도시철도의 도입을 고려하게 되었으며 그 대안으로 경량전철시스템 도입이 적극 추진되기에 이르렀다. (중략)

경량전철시스템은 운전자가 없는 무인으로 운행하며 각종 설비가 자동으로 제어되도록 되어있기 때문에 일상적인 고장이나 문제는 어느 정도 안전대책이 마련되겠지만 테러 또는 고의에 의해 일어나는 사고는 대비하기가 어려운 실정이다. 정거장에서의 화재발생은 많은 보고서와 기준들이 정리되어 있으나 지하 터널이 본선 구간에서의 피난을 위한 시설의 적정성 및 피난시간에 대한 연구는 부족하다. 본 연구에서 경량전철 시스템의 운전 중에 지하터널에서 발생 가능한 사고시나리오를 고려하여 화재시뮬레이션 및 피난시뮬레이션을 실시하여 비교하고, 그 결과에 따라 대안을 도출하였다.

This paper describes the results of structural integrity and crashworthiness of Automatic Guideway Transit(AGT) vehicle made of sandwich composites. The applied sandwich composite of vehicle structure was composed of aluminum honeycomb core and WR580/NF4000 glass fabric/epoxy laminate composite facesheet. Material testing was conducted to determine the input parameters for the composite facesheet model, and the effective equivalent damage model fer the orthotropic honeycomb core material. The finite element analysis using ANSYS v11.0 was dont to evaluate structural integrity of AGT vehicle according to JIS E 7105 and ASCE 21-98. Crashworthiness analysis was carried out using explicit finite element code LS-DYNA3D with the lapse of time. The crash condition was frontal accident with speed of 10km/h at rigid wall. The results showed that the structural integrity and crashworthiness of AGT vehicle were proven under the specified loading and crash conditions. Also, the modified Chang-Chang failure criterion was recommended to evaluate the failure modes of composite structures after crashworthiness event.

Light Rail is highlighted for its construction cost and operation ＆ maintenance cost in Korea. However, lack of analysis on driverless operation effect causes many disputes. In this paper, using latest driverless operation cost data. analysed cost reduction effect of it, with comparing present KNR's metropolitan subway signal system. It showed there is enough economic appropriateness B/C 1.241 on interest rate 6%, 1.076 on 8% and 0.943 on 10%, though it couldn't include passenger travel time value.

In this paper, the dynamics and stability of the automated guideway transit (AGT) vehicles with rubber tires are investigated. Two types of AGT systems are considered: the bogie-type and steering-type systems. The critical speeds for the dynamic instability of lateral and yawing motions are investigated by use of the Routh-Hurwitz's stability criterion. It is shown that the bogie-type AGT vehicles are likely to be stable within the range of practical operating speed, whereas it is not true for the steering-type AGT vehicles. It is also shown that the control performance of steering-type AGT vehicles can be improved by choosing proper steering gains of the closed-loop steering control system.

Rubber wheel-type AGT has two major kinds of bogie; one is the bogie type and the other and passenger loads. This paper deals with the statics analysis for two types of bogie frame subjected to combined external forces, as well as independent ones specified in UIC 515-4. Furthermore, the dynamics analysis is performed under vibrational loading conditions so as to compare dynamic characteristics, Numerical results by using commercial packages, Ⅰ-DEAS and NASTRAN show that maximum stresses do not exceed the yielding level of material used for both bogies. From an overall viewpoint of strength, the bogie type turns out to be superior to the steering type except the case of a lateral loading. It is also observed that the steering type shows a be stiffened. It is strongly anticipated that vibrational fatigue analysis should be carried out under realistic loading conditions closely matching to situations such as running surface and lateral clearances along the guideway.
