Rails are continuously exposed to severe environments due to increases in train service frequency, passing tonnage, and speed. Wear is one of the most common types of damage observed on rails. The surface of railsis heat treated to secure safety at critical sites, such as curved tracks or turnouts. Ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM), a new approach for rails, was examined to strengthen the rail surface. The effect of UNSM on the wear resistance of rail specimens was compared with that of heat treatment. Wear resistance was improved after UNSM treatment due to increased hardness and surface compressive residual stress.

For many decades, the railway was constructed using tracks with jointed rails of relatively short lengths in accordance with rolling and handling technology. The joints cause many drawbacks in the track and lead to significant maintenance cost. So, railroad engineers became interested in eliminating joints to increase service loads and speeds by improving rolling, welding, and fastening technology, Continuous welded rail(CWR) track has many advantages over the conventional jointed-rail track. But in the case of the elimination of rail joints, it may cause the track to be suddenly buckled laterally by thermal and vehicle loads. Thermal loads are caused by an increase in the temperature of railway track. In this paper, CWR track model and CWRB program are developed for linear buckling analysis using finite element method(FEM). The finite element discretization is used with a total of 14 degrees of freedom for each rail element. The stiffness of the fastener, tie, and ballast bed are included by a set of spring elements. The investigation on the buckling modes and temperature of CWR track is presented in the paper.

For optimization of a low-noise track system, rail vibration and noise radiation needs to be investigated. The main influencing parameters for the noise radiation and the quantitative results of every track system can be obtained using a calculation model of generation and radiation of railway noise. This kind of model includes contact modeling and the calculation model of the dynamic properties of the wheel and the rail. This study used a nonlinear wheel/rail interaction model in the time domain to investigate the excitation of the rolling noise. Wheel/rail response is determined by time integrating Green's function of the rail together with force impulses from the wheel/rail contact. This model and the results of the study can be used for supporting calculation with the conventional model by an addition of the contributions due to nonlinearities to the roughness spectrum.

The gauge - adjustable wheelset system in the transcontinental railway represents a more effective way in comparison with other techniques for overcoming difference in track gauges. Moreover, freight trains having the gauge - adjustable wheelsets will be run various curved tracks of Eurasian railroad network such as TKT, TCR and TSR. Therefore, to assure the safety of the gauge - adjustable adjustment wheelset system, it is necessary to evaluate durability of locking parts in the system during freight trains' service in the curved track. In this study, it was performed to estimate fatigue life of locking parts under lateral wheel pressure by using durability simulator.

Along with the steady development of Korean Railway construction technology, Contemporary society needs more modernized structures which can meet not only structural value but also aesthetic and environmental value. To follow this demand of society, Pre-Stressed Concrete U-girder bridge(Somg-Lim Gyo, L=330m) is introduced in 'JINJOO-KWANGYANG RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT'. On the environmental point of view, the huge noise due to the operation of train can be reduced remarkably by the side beam of U-girder which is high enough to substitute soundproofing wall. Moreover, by aesthetic variation of the shape of outer beams and coping of piers, the exterior view of the bridge can be improved and in accordance with surroundings. Pre-Stressed Concrete U-Girders which are built up above the outer sides of slab deck make easier to secure the clearance of a bridge and make it possible to lower the distance of centroid between superstructure and railroad tracks.

Noise and vibration induced by subway operation is one of the major problem for the residents living nearby railway tracks. Many scientists and engineers have been working on the more accurate prediction of noise and vibration to provide the better residential environment. Some prediction equations were determined to compare the measurement value of a noise obtained from the inside of a residential area. It was observed that the condition of a soil type is one of the major parameter which should be considered to obtain the more accurate prediction value of a noise.

Infrastructure such as tracks, catenary, rolling stock and signaling systems, and close interface with the human factors of train drivers, shunting staff and maintenance staff are required for train operations. Safety management is the most essential part for the functioning of a train. In line with the safety management, each rail operator has a safety guidance system and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport operates Railway Safety Inspector system. Safety Inspector System is to train employees working in the field to be aware of rules and regulations, and to improve identified risk factors. Hence, it is necessary to establish systematic training and inspection methods for safety guidance staff and make clear the roles and responsibilities of safety inspectors according to the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and safety instructors for several inspections according to the Railroad Safety Act.

A railway is a complex system integrated with a lot of technical elements such as rolling stock, power, signal control, communications, tracks, stations, operation control systems, and so on. As a mass transportation system, a railway could contain potential risks that may result in a high death rate and property losses. Accordingly, Railroad Safety Technology R&D Corps. is adopting the plan of the construction of Railway Safety Test Facilities as a part of the Railway Total Safety Project to enhance the railway safety, and carrying out researches on effective project management methods with Systems Engineering techniques. To support that, we propose the more effectual management method of constructing the Railway Safety Test Facilities applying the model-based systems engineering tool to the research.

최근 들어 무인 자율주행 기반의 수요응답형 순환교통(PRT)시스템에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 유형 궤도 및 일반적인 도로에서 운용 가능한 PRT 시스템의 적용이 다양하게 검토되고 있다. 유형 궤도가 없이 일반 도로 상에서 운행되는 무인자동 차량의 경우, 실시간으로 차량의 위치 정보를 계측하는 것은 무인 차량의 자동안내를 위해 매우 중요하다. 위성항법장치(GPS)는 차량의 위치 확인을 위해 상업적으로 적용되어 활용되고 있다. 하지만 터널 또는 빌딩 등의 실내 환경에서 적용될 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 환경적 제약을 극복할 수 있는 자기표지 기반의 PRT 차량 무인운전 시스템의 구성장치와 제어시스템에서 사용하기 위한 차량의 주행제어 모델을 제시하였다. 또한 차량의 주행중 실시간 위치를 추정하기 위해 개발된 자기검출센서를 제시하였고 차량의 무인운전에 필요한 지령을 생성하기 위한 제어SW와 이를 통한 제어시험 결과를 제시하였다.
