Metropolitan railway headway is calculated and decided by external conditions such as appropriate level of service and competitiveness rather than passenger demand for the peak time which is based on transport passenger capability of train. On contrast of inter-city urban railways, train time intervals of sub-urban metropolitan railway were fixed more than 20 mins in the peak time which results in low level of convenience. Big gap of headway brings a vicious circle of deteriorating competitiveness and decreasing the number of customers. Also this time gap of train interval results in stagnation of passenger demand, and makes it difficult to reduce headway. This thesis is a basic research to identify headway problems and their solutions of metropolitan railway. This thesis suggests passenger demand and the calculated standard for setting the headway, and reviews the level of passenger crowdedness, the numbers of coach for each train and time-competitiveness. At the last, thesis suggests the need for making headway by means of train services throughout benefit & cost analysis. And it also recommends the improved calculating method of setting up headway considering the different train headway standards by regional situation, flexibility in the number of coaches for a train, government policy to activate railway business and the need for setting up the standard for train service level.

This study aims to explore practicable and sustainable strategies for locality documentation through networking, linking, and recontextualization of records in digital environments. It applies the 'spanDoc(SPAace-based Networked Documentation) Model to document Donghae-Nambu Railway areas placed in Busan Metropolitan City tentatively. Considering that mobility and openness are the main characteristics of Busan, railway areas and their stations can be proper places for representing such localities of the city. Moreover, there can be much experiences and memories of residents surrounding those areas, because Donghae-Nambu Railway has been used as short distance transportation facilities across the inner city of Busan since 1930's. This study tries to implement the documentation strategy for the selected space, following the procedures of the spanDoc Model. Firstly, this study develops the structure of the subjects through investigating the related information sources and archives from various collecting institutions. Secondly, it carries out records surveys to identify the essential records types for documenting the Donghae-Nambu Railway areas. Thirdly, it describes the subjects and sub-subjects, and the entries of places, people and subjects for adding to the dictionaries. Finally, it links many entities such as subjects, records, and dictionary, and builds the databases regarding the inter-links and systematic accumulation of the outputs of each step.

This study discusses how the appropriate distribution and logistic information system of the railroad industry will be developed when the Korean railroad will be open toward northeast Asia area through South Korea and China/Russia in the rail-ferry project and/or the inter-Korean railroad connection project in the fnture. This study suggests that the Korea railroad industry should build the own efficient information system of railroad distribution and logistics in the notheast Asia area far both the extension of customer services and the competition with peripheral countries around the pacific.

Highlighted is significance of the floating slab track for mitigating vibrations induced by train, together with the recent trends towards speed-up of railways. In the design of the floating slab track, it is more beneficial to increase the slab length since a significant impact can be induced on the train and track at the discontinuous points between slabs with the finite slab length. However, if the slab length is too long, the tensile stress of slab concrete and the additional stress on rail due to the temperature change and shrinkage of concrete slab. Thus it is of great importance to relevantly determine the slab length. In this study, to understand these phenomena and establish the countermeasures, the dynamic behaviors of train and track at the inter-slab discontinuous points have been explored and the effect of dowel joints as one of countermeasures has been analytically investigated.

The subsystems of HSR train control system in each country has developed and operated till early 2000, however 2001/16/EC ERTMS is issued for inter-operability among European train control systems in 2001. So it is trend that ERTMS/ETCS has been applied to not only low-speed train system but high-speed train system over 300km/h in many countries of Europe. According to the government policies of the Honam HSR, metropolitan HSR and test lines, incoming on-board signal control system has been required caused by speed limit to 160km/h on the ground signal system. As ETCS-Level 1 system has applied in our railways from 2003, so our train control system has depended on foreign technologies. In this paper, we analyzed to localize train control system for being ready to protect foreign policies and obtaining core technologies of HSR train control system for instance ETCS-Level2.

Aerodynamically generated noise is significant when the train speed exceeds 250km/h. Experiments were performed in order to investigate the characteristics of aerodynamic noise sources generated from exterior of the HSR-350x, especially from the inter-coach spacing. Measurements of both the inside and outside of the cabin are carried out to investigate the characteristics of the noise. Effect of the size of the gap has been investigated through an wind tunnel test and it has been found that the low frequency noise is strongly dependent on the size of gap. Also performed is an array measurement to locate different noise sources from the high-speed train. Spectral characteristics of exterior noise sources have been examined through these experiments.

With its critical pending task of putting the management into the right track, it is extremely important for the Korea Railroad Corporation to incorporate more reasonable distribution into train consists to cut down its operation costs and attain higher income surplus in the Metropolitan Train Business. Furthermore, for Jung-ang Line soon to be operated without any crew on-board, more adequate train formation looks very indispensable mainly to satisfy transportation demands as well as enhance the passenger safety. This paper will examine the Jung-ang Line with hourly-basis congestions and inter station O/Ds to get the better operation schedules and trainset numbers.

This paper introduced the appearance characteristics of the cab mask & telescopic handrail arms for the New Zealand EMU to be applied with inter-city transportation in 2010. The appearance characteristics are improvements of driver's sightline, implementation of safety zone of gangway plate by using the telescopic handrail arms, improvements of staff & female crew & ground crew's convenience. and also, during have looking the New Zealand EMU(Electric Multiple Unit), I hope that people who having the interesting of the cab mask design would be gotten help with basic knowledge.

A PSD which cooperates with train door provides safety and convenience for passengers. In order to cooperate with train door, the PSD should interface between the PSD control system and the control units of train door. This interface is generally performed in signaling system(ATC/ATO), however, the lines which don't have the interface functionality in the signaling system, it is required to have additional "PSD inter face system" to communicate between train and PSD. In this paper, we propose a safe PSD interface methodology by discussing interlocked control between train door and PSD, recognition of accuracy stop point, troubleshooting logic and log of troubles and driver panel which are adopted in Inchon line1.

Electromagnetic suspension, the suspension system used for Maglev trains, is now being applied to urban and inter-city transportation systems, offering environmental benefits. This suspension system is actively controlled to stabilize the suspended vehicle as it runs over an elevated guideway, which, for various reasons, may have deviations in its height. For this reason, frequency responses of the suspension to height deviations must be predicted in the system design cycle. The equations of motion of the electromagnetic suspension employing the 5 state feedback control law are derived for frequency analysis. The results of this paper could be used to determine design requirements for the urban Maglev transportation system currently under development in Korea.
