This paper presents a case study of PSD(Platform Screen Door) system assurance based on EN50126 life-cycle stage. By applying this system assurance, the accidents related to urban light transit railway especially that caused casualties could be reduced tremendously. This case study contributes significantly to the reliability, availability, maintainability and safety of the PSD system. Request For Proposal (RFP) of a rail road operator in which required by RAMS is prepared in which to ensure all system assurance activity and safety assessment are compulsory. The step-by-step activities and related deliverables are used which include functional analysis, FMECA, hazard identification analysis, system hazard analysis, maintainability analysis, FRACAS, and finally verification and validation of the system.

We have successfully demonstrated metal-ferroel-ectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) devices using Al/LiNbO$_{3}$/SiN/Si structure. The SiN thin films were made into metal -insulator- semiconductor (MIS) devices by thermal evaporation of aluminum source in a dot away on the surface. The interface property of MFIS from 1MHz & quasistatic C-V is good and the memory window width is about 1.5V at 0.2V/s signal voltage sweep rate. The gate leakage current density of MFIS capacitors using a aluminum electrode showed the least value of 1x10$^{-8}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ order at the electric field of 300㎸/cm. And the XRD patterns shows the probability of applications of LN for MFIS devices for FeRAMs on amorphous SiN buffer layer.

In this paper, we introduce IEC 60300(Dependability program management) into urban transit system, and propose effective method to apply IEC 60300 to Subway Corporation. The dependability is the collective term used to describe the availability performance and its influencing factors such as reliability performance, maintainability performance and maintenance support performance. A dependability program covers all phases of a system's life cycle from planning to operation and possibly disposal, and is composed of program elements divided into tasks.

The deterioration of a shunting locomotive was characterized for the lifetime assessment. The locomotive has been used for shunting works in steel making processes, and in this investigation, various types of technical evaluation methods for the locomotive parts were employed to assess the current deterioration status and to provide important clue for lifetime prediction. Unlike other rolling stocks in railway applications, the diesel shunting locomotive is composed of major components such as diesel engine, transmission, gear box, brake system, electronic devices, etc., which cover more than 70 percent of the total price of the locomotive. Therefore, in this paper, each part of major components in the diesel locomotive was analyzed in terms of the degree of deterioration. The lift-cycle-cost (LCC) analysis was performed based on the maintenance and repair history as compared with economical cost to provide the cost-effective prediction, i.e., to assess either repair for reuse or putting the locomotive out of service based on cost-effective calculation.

In this paper we present a safety plan to be applied to the development of the TCS(Train Control System). The safety plan that can be applied to the life cycle of a system, from the conceptual design to the dismantlement, shows the whole process of the paper work in detail through the establishment of a goal, analysis and assessment, the verification. In this paper we study about the making a plan, the preliminary hazard analysis, the hazard identification and analysis to guarantee the safety of the TCS. The process far the verification of the system safety is divided into several steps based on the target system and the approaching method. The guarantee of the system safety and the improvement of the system reliability is fellowed by the recommendation of the international standards.

The component and system of modern Railroad vehicles are advanced and complex. Maintenance policy is scientific and must be performed systematic. A vehicle operation and maintenance must become statistical analysis method. We must apply RAMS and System Engineering. We must apply the RCM theory in the maintenance management. The vehicle failure and maintenance charge must be reduced to a minimum. When we purchase the vehicle or component, we must reflect the technology. Also such system must be constructed. We will do technique development with the deed of such serial.

The bogie of Rolling Stock is the basic rolling component. It operates the train body, guides the body considering various tracks and offers comfort to passengers. We can verify the safety level of bogie about all factors through the first -grade scenario of Preliminary Hazard Analysis, but especially the horizontal acceleration sensor, equipped in each power bogie and trailer bogie, is the device, which makes it possible to test bogie instability and uncomfortable body movements by the method, similar to actual train driving, and in this context the necessity of this device becomes important. This paper would classify the main functions of driving sub system and examine the reliability, availability, maintainability and safety, which are main factors of RAMS. Especially, we would realize the bogie instability sensor with a simulator and offer the content in analyzing the data by the statistical method, which are obtained through the connected test with OBCS.

In this paper, as the step to assess and enhance the reliability of Korean Tilting Train eXpress (T.T.X), Door system is selected and reliability analysis is carried out. The door system is classified into subsystems and functional block diagrams and reliability block diagrams are drawn.Expessions for evaluating the reliability are derived and Mean Kilometer between Service Failure is calculated using the trial track test results. The calculation result show reliability growth of proposed system. This paper developed RAMS to make a door system of T.T.X. (Tilting Train eXpress) with maximum operation speed of 180 km/h.

With the introduction of the RAMS(Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety), the interest of the system assurance has been increased. First of all, fast-growing electronic circuit requires analyzing the failure rates, by dividing the signalling system more specifically. Since 2005, the K.N.R (Korean National Railway) has incorporated ERP(Enterprise Resource Planning) in order to establish the complete status as the top international comprise, therefore while ordering the project, it has established the classification system and then has been applying to ERP system in 2007. Due to the complex of the classification system, the reliability analysis of the signalling system was assessed with the limit of IXL ATP with On-board and wayside equipment. This paper assumed MTBF(Mean Time Between Failure), MTTR((Mean Time Between Repair) of total signalling system, by using the classification of ERP program.

This paper presents the methods to acquire the Safety Certificate from Independent Safety Assessment based on the IEC standard62279 which is commonly applied to railway system for Automatic Train Control(ATC) system in accordance with Urban Maglev project. This also shows approach methods and relative activities for project life-cycle to accomplish and ensure the system requirements of ATC system, RAMS and S/W quality activities. Furthermore, the key tasks conducted with ISA are noted in detail. These kind of activities for software quality of ATC system to obtain Safety Certificate could be a CASE model to improve the quality of domestic railway system and products, and also contribute to the growth of railway business and toward the achievement of overseas' railway signaling markets.
