Following the recent privatization of the UK railway system there has been an increase in the volume of rail freight. It. Influential factors include the problem of road congestion, and policies towards increasing grants. With a focus on grants (government subsidies), this paper examines changes in rail freight, and the tasks facing the UK railway. I attempt to explain recent trends in rail freight grants and changes that have positively influenced the rail freight. In particular, I demonstrate the trends in rail freight and scheme which link the government and industry. Moreover, I explain the grants scheme and method of calculation, concisely. Finally I reveal the characteristics of UK rail grants scheme. In this paper, I argue that grants have played an important role of in the development of freight and that rail freight is more environment friendly than road transport. This paper have a many important aspects. Namely, an account of the introduction of the grant scheme of UK. Also, I explore the method of calculation of these grants. It will give some lessons for Korea rail. In conclusion, I note some suggestions and those problems which impede the freight transport. In future, the problems of some of these problems should be addressed, For example, the lack of infrastructure and development of an adequate train time schedule in case of rail freight have to be improved.

This paper considers the rail crane scheduling problem with minimizing the sum of the range of order completion time and make-span of rail crane simultaneously. The range of order completion time implies the difference between the maximum of completion time and minimum of start time. Make-span refers to the time when all the tasks are completed. At a rail terminal, logistics companies wish to concentrate on their task of loading and unloading container on/from rail freight train at a time in order to increase the efficiency of their equipment such as reach stacker. In other words, they want to reduce the range of their order completion time. As a part of efforts to meet the needs, the crane schedule is rearranged based on worker's experience. We formulate the problem as a mixed integer program. To validate the effectiveness of the model, computational experiments were conducted using a set of data randomly generated.

Dynamics of railway vehicles are strongly influenced by the wheel/rail contact forces. Wheel/rail contact geometric characteristics are important parameters to determining wheel/rail contact forces. In general, geometric relations between wheel and rail are represented by nonlinear functions of the wheelset lateral excursion and the relative yaw angle. There are some analytical and experimental studies to show the influences of the wheelset lateral displacement on wheel/rail geometric relations. Recently radial steering bogie which is designed to have flexible yaw motions of wheelsets was developed to improve curve negotiation performance. The radial steering bogie makes it important problem to study the effects of wheelset yaw motion on wheel/rail geometric relations. This paper describes the method to analyze 3-dimensional wheel/rail contact geometry considering wheelset yaw motion and describes also some computer simulation results.

Most of rail fastening system used in the interior have depended on the foreign technologies. In this study, new rail fastening device is developed to estabilish the domestic technology. Especially, Pandrol and Vossloh rail fastening devices are analyzed to utilize the weak and strong points. New rail fastening device is designed to combine advantages of two other foreign devices.

Rail transport has grown over the Past decades, and rail networks have highly concentrated in urban area, and it is possible for rail passengers to choose a route anions a number of alternative routes. Analysis of factors influencing the choice of route, are required to estimate the rail travel demand of each route. In this paper, we describes route choice model for the transit assignment and characteristics of the route choice(i.e., by relative travel time and fares), and attempts to estimate travel demand of new rail transit based on the slated preference(SP) survey data of Nanko Porttown, which is located in Osaka, Japan.

In electric railway system, potential of rail has been risen, for return-current flows through rail. The magnitude of rising voltage is different to railway feed system, ground admittance of rail and the load current. If rising voltage of rail is large, electric shock can be occurred to passengers and maintenance- worker, In this paper, we estimate the rising voltage of rail in high speed railway system and check the safety to human beings.

This paper presents a 2-stage, simple, power-efficient 3V CMOS operational amplifier and its equation based design optimization. Because of its simple structure, it is very suitable as a VLSI library cell in analog/digital mixed-mode systems. The op-amp, which contains a constant-$g_m$ rail-to-rail input stage and a simple feedforward class-AB rail-to-rail output stage, is analyzed and the results are presented in the form of design equations and procedures, which provide an insight into the trade-offs among performance requirements. The results of SPICE simulations are shown to agree very welt with the use of design equations.

For the purpose of the effective maintenance of surface irregularities of rail, this paper investigates the rail service life to a bending fatigue failure of welding parts of rail on the slab track by the structures laboratory testing to derive S-N curves, a GTDAP(General Track Dynamic Analysis Program) to calculate the stresses and a modified Miner's rule to predict a fatigue life. The useful guides for maintenance of rail welded parts on the slab track are proposed in terms of a grinding period and the depth of rail surface irregularities. This study also proposed the guides for maintenance of rail welded part on the ballast track. The effects of fatigue service lives are compared one another.

The railway vehicle consists of wires, bodies, bogies and wheelsets, and each part has very complex mechanism. In this paper, wheel-rail contact algorithm is implemented using C++ and inserted into the ODYN which is a dynamic analysis program. To analyze wheel-rail contact mechanism, information such as contact points, contact angle and rolling radius is calculated according to the wheel and rail profile. Using this information, a table for the calculation of the wheel-rail contact analysis is made according to the lateral displacement. And, the creepage and normal force are calculated and a creep force is estimated by the FASTSIM. To verify the reliability of the wheel-rail contact algorithm, results of the program are compared with the ADAMS/Rail and paper. Finally, a wheelset of the railway vehicle is modeled using ODYN and simulated static and dynamic analysis. And, to verify the reliability of the simulation results, a displacement, velocity, acceleration and force are compared with results of ADAMS/Rail.

A wheel force becomes large as increasing the stiffness of rail-pad, and it accelerates the deterioration of track, and it leads the maintenance cost rising. So, it is required to determine an appropriate replacement period for rail-pad. As a preliminary study to determine it, a numerical analysis was conducted to investigate the influence on a track behavior by the hardening of rail-pad. From the analysis, one knows that the dynamic wheel force is vary depend on the stiffness of rail-pad and the running speed of vehicle, the displacement and acceleration of rail is decreasing as increasing stiffness of rail-pad, and the displacement and acceleration increased in proportion to the rail-pad stiffness increasing.
