This study is to investigate the methodology and applicability on emission control by both MECHANICAL Model and Fugitive Dust Model (FDM) through the comparison of field measurement data and calculated data. Comparing to the method of AP-42 emission fector on the production of flying dust the MECHANICAL Model was proved to be more applicable to the calculation emission rate on the various dust emission conditions on a unpaved road. The seperate calculation on annual mean emission amount and a 24working hours amount was undertaken for the easy management of fugitive dust. Dust concentration predicted by FDM is similar with a measurement value.

Since the turnout system in railroad restricts the train speed, the KNR (Korean National Railroad) provides the specification for the speed (130km/h) of the train when the train passes the turnout system. Therefore, the turnout system in pre-existing railroad is necessary to be improved to speed-up for the train. In this study, the dynamic wheel-load field tests have been performed to evaluate the track performance and the roadbed bearing capacity has been examined using numerical analysis at the turnout crossing in the conventional and improved turnout system. The impact factor is estimated using the data sets achieved from the dynamic wheel-load field tests in the conventional and improved turnout system. The stress acting on the roadbed for the improved turnout system is substantially decreased compare to that for the conventional turnout system.
