In this paper, we have checked a method of performance evaluation for electronic pedal, which is a core technology of HBD for detecting the axle temperature of high-speed train. As it is practically impossible to conduct train speed test of 500 km/h, we utilize a high speed rotor for evaluating high speed performance of the electronic pedal instead. According to this method, we found that the measurement results by the velocity measuring instrument is similar with the ones from this research through the high speed rotor. In conclusion, it will be possible to conduct reliability evaluation for high speed performance for Beacon, Balise and RFID, which are utilized for transmitting vital information of train control systems through using the rotor.

This paper describes the dynamic characteristics depending on installation condition between a pantograph and an OCL (Overhead Contact Line) on a new high speed line in Korea. The current collection performance between the pantograph and the OCL was tested during train operation from Suseo to Jije stations. The current collection performance is evaluated based on the duration of an arc by using an arcing measurement system. The system consists of an optical sensor for measuring the duration of an arc and a camera for monitoring current collection performance. An arcing duration is defined as a percentage of arcing in international standards. This test aims to analyze the locations of repetitive arcing depending on installation conditions of OCLs on a new high speed line in order to use the result as reference data for correct construction and maintenance.

The KTX is now operating to the commercial purpose at Gyeong-Bu high speed railroad and Ho-Nam conventional railroad to be started on April, 2004. The trains were not found any problems at high speed railroad, but at Ho-Nam line were known to be have the few problems due to operating no planed. In this report should be studied for the effects of the lateral forces and wheel bases, brake distances etc., that high speed trains should be considered on curve running at the conventional railroad. The studied contents for operating at the conventional railroad shall be checked for the technical requirements from design stage, and the trains should be supplied and manufactured to car system to have the good running performances.

As the delay of the Kyungbu High Speed Railroad, HST should use conventional line through Daegoo to Pusan until the new railroad build. High speed railroad noise is one of the main causes of environmental impact. Whenever HST on conventional railroad line is planned or HST service into the urban center is proposed, an estimate of the relevant noise levels is usually required. For this, it is necessary to quantify those parameters that affect the railroad noise. This paper deals with an estimation of high speed railroad noise in urban center.

When the train running on the high-speed track, there is a speed band which track distortion is unusually increased according to the condition of track and roadbed. This speed is called critical velocity and physical parameter values are increased greatly. These phenomenon happened as high-speed train were developed, studied regularly through TGV 100 running test in France. As research result until now, the main reason is soft roadbed's bearing capacity. Wave propagation and track support capacity is varied by the ground characteristics. This paper achieved theoretical examination about resonance band(speed and frequency) that occurred in roadbed on the base rock in point of geotechnical engineering. The examination of resonance divides with ground response analysis, critical band analysis by the shear wave velocity of roadbed and train critical speed through the ground stratum.

In Apr. 2004, the 1st phase of Gyeongbu high speed railroad line was opened between Seoul and Busan, and this new high speed railroad service has increased the customers' satisfaction index and railroad passengers' profit. Moreover, at the end of year 2010 the 2nd phase of Gyeongbu high speed railroad line will be open, and the journey time between Seoul and Busan will be shortened and the new high speed railroad service will be expanded to Gyeongju & Ulsan area. This study will introduce the operation of connection service between new stations and downtown to the 2nd phase Gyeongbu high speed railroad station (Gyeongju, Ulsan station), and analyze the effects of connection service using connection demand analysis and also economic effects. This kind of connection service will contribute to the increase of passengers' satisfaction index and high speed railroad revenue.

On the 105th year of the Korean Railroad, Korea railroad is at the advent of the high speed operation with an commercial operation of KTX(Korea Train eXpress), the fifth high speed line in the world, between Pusan and Seoul at the speed of 300km/hr. In order to enhance nation competitiveness in $21^{st}$ century, Korea Railroad is faced with a task of improving the railroad network in the areas of new line constructions, betterment of existing rail lines, increasing the operation speed and transportation capacity and modernization of rolling stock fleet.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a method to support decision making of researchers, when we estimate the safety of the high-speed railway using F-AHP. To apply this method, Korean type of high-speed railway was engaged, and the 8 Stages of accident type and the five criteria were suggested that we must meet. Then, the interview with the researchers working for high-speed railway was used to confirm the alternatives suggested. The employed F-AHP for this study estimate using emotional words based on AHP of Saaty, so it is very good to estimate the high-speed railway safety.

유도급전용 변압기(Inductive Power Transformer, IPT)는 비접촉 전력전송장치이며, 그 응용범위는 전동칫솔용 충전기, 핸드폰용 충전기와 같은 소용량 시스템뿐만 아니라, 전기자동차, 산업용 이송장치, 철도 시스템과 같은 대용량 시스템에까지 확대되고 있다. 철도시스템과 같은 교통시스템에 적용되는 IPT 시스템의 경우, 소용량 시스템과 달리 큰 공극을 가지기 때문에 높은 에너지 전달 효율을 얻기 위하여 IPT 모듈의 주의 깊은 설계가 요구되기 때문에 본 논문에서는 철도차량에 적용하기 위한 U-U 타입 IPT와 U-I 타입 IPT의 등가회로 파라미터와 커플링 계수에 대한 특성을 해석적 방법을 통하여 분석하고, 실제 20[kW] 급 IPT 시제품 모듈의 실험을 통하여 등가회로 파라미터 검증 및 IPT 모듈의 효율 계측을 수행하였다.

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.
