Recently the construction of stations under railway lines and railway sections passing through central area of cities are increasing, calling for an urgent establishment of countermeasures against railway vibration and its subsequent second-phase noise. Of technology developed up to now, the most efficient countermeasure is the floating slab track, a track system isolated from the sub-structure by springs. Unfortunately, however, the system design technology and technology for key components have not yet developed in Korea. As such, in this study, the analysis and design technology of floating slab track and its vibration isolator technology can be achieved. In preparation for future demands, it is expected to raise awareness for the need of technology self-support and to make a meaningful contribution to mitigating vibration and noise produced by the next-generation high-speed railway.

Steel railway bridge gets vibration from moving load ; additionally, this kind of moving load is going to be a sufficient reason, which causes fatigue damage to steel railway bridge. Fatigue damage and stress curve were raised by moving load depends on span length in steel railway bridge. In other words, stress curve appears index regarding every axial load in short span, but self weight lets stress curve's change decrease in proportion to increasing span length. Thereby, we have studied that how the steel railway bridge appear fatigue damage in proportion to span length of steel railway bridge. Dynamic strain was measured in 4 steel plate-girder railway bridge during the trains was passing, which is located on the line of Kyoung-chun railway. And time history response analysis has been done in order to ensure actual survey. The results of this study show the decreased of the fatigue damage in steel railway bridge according to length of span. This paper ends is bases research of fatigue design in steel railway bridges according to span length.

Research and technology development is an ongoing, iterative process that must be both forward looking and flexible enough to address new needs. The railway technical researches are key to making railway operations safer and more secure, reducing delays, reducing costs, raising effective capacity, improving customer satisfaction, improving energy utilization, reducing emissions, and becoming more economically viable. The railway technical research and development projects can be implemented as independent systems, in which case their benefits will be limited, or they can be implemented as integrated systems, in which case the benefits will be compounded. But the overall objectives of railway technical researches are to provide the railway system with technology which includes increasing quality and boosting productivity.

The efficiency and performance of electric facilities in electric railway tunnels are quite important factors for operation and maintenance of railway since most of maintenance works for railways are doing during the night. Specially, in the railways like Gyeong-Chun Line passing through many mountains, many parts of railways are constructed with tunnels. So, this paper proposes the efficient electrical installation design scheme for railway tunnel considering the system performance, economics, and the reliability of power supply to tunnel electric facilities. Finally, the proposed design scheme is implemented to the tunnel design for Gyeong-Chun Line (Electric Railway).

Most advanced countries are researching to apply light weight materials far rolling stock because weight reduction for railway body derives cost-saving, energy-saving, and high-speed. Likewise, current Korea rolling stock field makes arduous effects of weight-reduction, miniaturization, and high-efficiency to achieve a high-speed railway. Aluminum becomes suitable material for these projects because it is much lighter than steel or stainless. Manufacturing the railway car body by using the Aluminum is increasing because Aluminum is not bringing the corrosion by unique oxidation-passivate. Aluminum extrusion profile far railway body requires a high mechanical property, accurate shape dimension, and stable quality because the railway body is composed with many different kinds of extruded profiles. Therefore, it is necessary to research about Aluminum precision-extrusion technology to maintain exit temperature and die load. The goal of this project is applying the Aluminum extrusion profile to next-generation railway car body by developing the Aluminum extrusion profile according to precision-extrusion technology which may maintain isothermal exit temperature.

Mobile radio technologies have evolved in the railway industry offering seamless connectivity and various functionalities to improve railway service. Recently, advanced mobile communication technologies have enabled a new level of railway customer services with more efficient railway operation. Since the LTE mobile communication technology offers many benefits and better performance for new railway services, it is considered to be a strong candidate for the future railway mobile telecommunication. However, communication networks in the railway sector are critical for secure operation and have stringent requirements for reliability and safety. In this paper, we explain the requirements for the future railway mobile telecommunication. The LTE, which would be the future railway mobile technology, is analyzed against these requirements. We also introduce the current state of standardization for the future railway mobile telecommunication and its implementation plan.

As the demand for high-speed railway, light railway, and metropolitan railway is increasing, the demand for safe and comfortable railways is increasing. The evaluation technology for a railway system manufactured according to this trend is becoming more important. This study examined the domestic and foreign technology trends through patent analysis of the railway test technology. To accomplish this, the patents filed in Korea, Europe, and the United States since 1990 were analyzed using Thomson Innovation DB. First, the technology was classified as a component test, combined test, and on-line test. Through patent analysis, the technology trends in the railway test technology and how the technological progress has been made from the past to the present were reviewed. In addition, through an analysis of the country and main applicant, this study examined the countries and applicants that are actively developing technologies. In addition, the countries that have secured technology related to the test technology were studied through an analysis of the market security index and the influence index. Through this analysis, this study analyzed the trend of the test technology in the railway area.

Ballast layer has an important role in vertical stiffness and stability of railway track. In most of the Middle East countries and some of the Asian ones, significant parts of railway lines pass through desert areas where the track (particularly ballast layer) is contaminated with sands. Despite considerable number of derailments reported in the sand contaminated tracks, there is a lack of sufficient studies on the influences of sand contamination on the ballast vertical stiffness as the main indicator of track stability. Addressing this limitation, the effects of sand contamination on the mechanical behavior of ballast were experimentally investigated. For this purpose, laboratory tests (plate load test) on ballast samples with different levels of sand contamination were carried out. The results obtained were analyzed leading to derive mathematical expressions for the strain modulus ($E_V$) as a function of the ballast level of contamination. The $E_V$ was used as an index for evaluation of the load-deformation characteristics and bearing capacity of track substructure. The critical limit of sand contamination, after which the $E_V$ of the ballast reduces drastically, was obtained. It was shown that the obtained research results improve the current track maintenance approach by providing key guides for the optimization of ballast maintenance planning (the timing of ballast cleaning or renewal).

Currently, railway wireless communication systems adopt several communication schemes depending on the specific region. To increase data rate and achieve high fidelity in railway wireless communication systems, LTE-R scheme has been developed. In this paper, We introduce interoperability technology which converges several railway communication systems including LTE-R. First, we consider two interoperability methods and their standardization. Some empirical test results of interoperability technology are also introduced. It is expected to provide seamless and statable railway communication environments by applying interoperability technologies to railway wireless communication systems.
