Rail noise and vibration is one of the major problem for the residents living nearby railway tracks. The rail noise may inflict a considerable damage to physiological, spiritual, mental and discomfort to neighboring peoples. Therefore, residents living nearby railway were appeal many troubles. Nevertheless, in our country, adequate guidelines for the rail noise are not yet established because of the lack of basic data and insufficient research works. In this point, this study attempts to surveys the influence of rail noise in urban area using questionnaire. This study also present a basic data in establishing effective plans for rail noise in the future.

This article analyzes the new approach to regulation with regards to the railway industry and determines the government's new role. For this purpose, the regulations are categorized into three dimensions (economic, societal and administrative), following the criteria adopted by the Regulatory Reform Committee. Furthermore, these items are analyzed as compulsory vs. incentive, and prior vs. ex post, according to the managerial characteristics. As a result, some recommendations were derived: the economic regulations should be deregulated and the societal regulations should be modified in order to rationalize the criteria. From this perspective, the government's role needs to be repositioned in order to activate the railway industry.

As the patronage of railroad increased, the government tried to introduce several the railroad safety program. The introduction of security inspection system in railroad is also considered with this background. In this paper, we examined the foreign cases in U.S., Spain, and China. Also, we surveyed the railroad users' opinion with the security inspection system and analyzed the results of survey for the sufficient preparation for it. Consequently, we suggested the introduction of high-speed rail station by way of showing an example.

The rail transport system is developing into a smart railroad that pursues intelligence beyond the automation stage of each component in recent years. Smart railways based on ICT (: Information & Communications Technology) technologies such as IoT (: Internet of Things), big data, deep learning, AI (: Artificial Intelligence), and block chain are expected to cause many developmental changes in domestic and foreign railway technologies. In this paper, we look at the domestic and international standardization trends of railway communication technology, which forms the basis of such smart railway system, and discuss the direction for train control technology(CBTC) in Korea's railway transportation system to become a leading technology(UBTC) in the world railway industry in the future.

한국철도는 100여년의 역사를 지내오면서 설계, 건설, 운영에 이르기까지 괄목할만한 성장을 하였으며 기술산업의 측면에서도 고부가가치를 창출해 낼 수 있는 공학분야의 전문화된 기술이라는 인식이 사회전반에 확산되고 있다. 특히, 90년대 초에 시작된 고속철도 건설사업을 계기로 철도산업은 그 동안의 낙후된 이미지를 벗어나 고속열차 운행에 따른 여행시간의 단축과 효율성의 극대화 그리고 쾌적한 환경을 창출하고자 하는 강한 사회적인 욕구에 부응할 수 있는 새로운 산업영역으로 각광을 받고 있다. (중략)

온갖 근대국가들이 자국의 "에너지"를 합리적으로 사용하므로 예지국가를 이룩하려 함은 과학인은 물론 누구나 다 알 수 있는 일이다. 오늘날 한국철도야말로 지금까지도 열효율이 불과 4-7%에 지나지 못하였던 증기기관차를 운용하여 왔고 지금도 석유자원은 국산으로 구 할 수 없으면서 Diesel electric Locomotine에만 치중하고 전기철도화에는 등한히 하게 되는 것은 현명한방법이라고 말할 수 없다. 전철화가 가진 효율 30%이상이라는 것은 Diesel의 20-24%보다 능가하여 비록 시설면에서 막대한 투자는 하여도 세계열강국들이 앞을 다투어 우선 간선만이라도 전화하여 철도가 가진 운송의 사명을 다하고 경영의 합리화를 기하려는 것이다. 이러한 점에서 근래 전기철도에 앞선 각 나라의 전화방식과 한국철도의 전화에 대하여 교통분야에 있는 전기인으로서 생각해 보자는 것이다.해 보자는 것이다.

The modal spilt for road has been increased, but, for railroad it has been decreased from 17.2%(1990) to 6.3%(2006). It is important to study on improving competition for railroad transportation so that freight transport industry for railroad which is getting to decrease in Korea will be increased. The objective of this study is to analyze the competitiveness of railroad transport compared with road by providing a high-speed railway. The indicators representing the competitiveness of railroad transport are determined. The main influenced factors for mode choice include transport cost, transport time, level of service. Precisely, three commodities type, container, cement, steel, are analyzed.

Finally, Musan-Bongdong section in Kyeong-Ui corridor opened on 11. DEC.2007, which is a historical event, because this connection means the restoration of 56 yrs' disconnection since 1951 and also starting point launching to connect china, Mongolia, Russia for continental railway logistic infrastructure. This is also one of master plans about the northern line in TAR, carried out by UNESCAP, so this study will touch up each country's railway status and the next tasks related with trans-continental railway such as North Korea, Russia, China. Also, this study reveal a mid-long term development strategy to improve the North Korea railroad for a continent rail link and international railroad transportation between China and Russia, and also checks the way of confrontation to the domestic infrastructure for the activation of the continent railway and the north and south, investigates concretely how to establish TAR northern part routes as soon as possible.

This study propose a model for railway safety evaluation with which the safety of whole railway system can be evaluated. The evaluation model is to generate a safety index which quantitatively represent the degree of railway safety. Safety index is proposed a function of three indexes; an accident index, safety management index, and safety culture index. This paper describes the first result from the study on the safety target which will be a key starting point toward the development of safety evaluation model. It is recommended that the safety target be composed of several sub-targets that are apportioned to constituent components. It is coneluded that the classification of safety target influence on deciding components or attributes that constitute each sub-indexes; an accident index, safety management index, and safety culture index.

The two Koreas agreed to pursue rail and road connections on September 19, 2018 in the Pyongyang Joint Declaration. In December 2018, they launched a joint investigation for the North Korean railway modernization project. The survey confirmed that the track condition is seriously aging so that it is impossible to operate, and the railway network is well connected to major cities. Therefore, it was reasonable to modernize the aging track of the existing railway network rather than construct a new railway network. This paper proposed the railway communication policy for the improvement of railway lines and the construction of the railway wireless network by analyzing the status of roadbeds and tracks in order to enhance interoperability for the inter-Korean railway connection and safety for preventing the railway accidents.
