Recently, the management of metro business in large cities has become more difficult because of increased construction and operation costs. The purpose of this paper presents the construction of transfer system to resolve about recent tendency to decrease of metro-users and diminution of use efficiency which are serious problems of Busan metro. To cope with this situation, it is necessary to examine the methods of obtaining returns on development profits of land value rises that occur due to transfer system construction between Busan metro line #1 and line #2 in Yangsan area. Therefore, it was made use of research on metro utilization to presuppose service improvement, as an alternative, in the transfer system construction between metro and metro which might be powerful influence over metro-users. In this research, it was examined the actual situation of rises in land values brought about by the transfer system construction of metro line #1 and line #2 in Yangsan area with application of four (4) methods, and have calculated a basis of the development profits produced by the transfer system construction of metro line. According to the economical efficiency analysis, the total construction cost amount to 4,827.1 billion won of case #1 based on single track, and evaluate economically as B/C to 1.013, NPV to 72.7 billion, IRR to 5.614 percent.

Optical telecommunication has been growing at a rate that exceeds even the "Moore′s Law". However, while the electronic revolution has allowed everyone to have his/her own PC, the optical revolution is still confined to the long-haul network such that the individual end users are still connected to an electronic metro/access networks. However, given the rapid increase in the data traffic (e.g., multimedia), the optical edge that separates the individual end users from optical networks will eventually have to include the metro/acces networks.

Metro, as a kind of city rail transit, is a modem city passenger transit system with mass transportation and independent special rails. It has become a backbone of the traffic in the metropolis and an important modern symbol of a city. A modem traffic system is indispensable for Shanghai to be an international metropolis of finance, trade and economy. At present, Shanghai metro line No. 1 and its extension have been put into operation, metro line NO. 2 will be put into trial operation by the end of 1999, the Pearl Line, an elevated rail transit system is under construction and other lines will be constructed later according to the plan. But the funding of the city rail transit construction (both metro and light rail) is a big difficult problem to the infrastructure construction of the metropolises either at home or abroad, which is also a problem to restrict the development of the city rail transit of Shanghai. We have learned from the internal and external experiences of the rail transit construction that it is an important means to deal with the funds of the city rail transit construction to actively utilize foreign funds. It makes up the shortage of the internal funds on the one hand, the external advanced science and technology and the management experiences can be introduced on the other hand. In order to discuss and study conveniently with you together the new problems appearing in the metro construction and to open up a new train of thought, this article will give out a certain analysis and description to the funding method in the metro construction of Shanghai and the characteristics of utilizing foreign funds in the rail transit construction as well as the problems which we are faced with.

It is said that the number of people using public transportation has risen about 220 thousand over 3 years which was 1019 people average a day in 2006 and 1041 people last year. It is also said that the number of people using subway has increased by 198 thousand and the number of people using bus by 22 thousand. Can you imagine how many door engines work at the same time if we count Metro line no.1 to no.4 which consist of total 120 subway stations? A train has 80 door engines and Metro line trains have 9600 door engines all together. Which explains it quite simple how much Satefy, Durability and Sustainability need to be focused in Door Engines. Although it's not the whole part of door engines in Seoul Metro Line, And Metro No.4's door engines are operated by the method called mixture of mechanical type and belt type. And the last one is being used in the brand-new Metro train line No.3 which is being operated by electricity motor, instead of the old methods which use air pressure to operate a door engine. I'm sure you will agree that Safety is the first priority of Metro train and next follow comfortability and quickness. I think all I've talked so far make it the first step for the Safety of Metro train for you to understand the unit of a Door Engine.

Concentration of people in urban areas and development around Metro make exceed the passenger number which was calculated when the Metro station was built, in the result the Metro stations are crowed this is the study on the improvement of Metro station's congestion in urban areas for ensuring the passenger safety, the space of evacuation path and promoting the more pleasant riding environment with an environmental- friendly approach.

The DC electric power system is the most important power source in a metro railway system. As metro railway system is expanded recently, the importance of DC electric power system is emphasized. Furthermore, the study for systemization and standardization of design and operation technique in DC electric power system is undergoing nowadays. For these studies, the development of standard analysis model for metro railway electric power system is required. In this paper, a standard analysis model for metro railway electric power system which is using PSCAD/EMTDC program is developed. The developed model is explained and the validity is shown by using the case studies.

A direct current electric power system is one of the most important power source in a metro railway system. As railway system is growing up today, the importance of DC electric power system is emphasized.

Lower tunnels and concrete based tracks are introduced to newly constructed metro lines to reduce the construction and track maintenance fees. But such a lower tunnel together with concrete based track causes higher interior noise of metro trains. It is required that the trains should not only be a transportation media but also be comfortable. So, to lower the metro train's interior noise level, design was made to increase the transmission loss per sectional part. Through such a design, it is expected that about 7 dB(A) of noise level will be reduced compared to that of the conventional train.

This paper describes the mechanism, guidance, sensor system, and navigation algorithm of METRO, a free ranging mobile robot. METRO is designed for use in structured surroundings or factory environments rather than unstructured natural environments. An overview of the physical configuration of the mobile robot is presented as well as a description of its sensor system, an omnidirectional laser range finder. Except for the global path planning algorithm, a guidance and a navigation algorithm with a local path planning algorithm are used to navigate the mobile robot. In METRO the computer support is divided into a supervisor with image processing and local path planning and a slave with motor control. The free ranging mobile robot is self-controlled and all processing being performed on board.

This study conducted a survey with 300 male respondents in their 20s to 50s, in order to examine the influence of personal variables, identity of gender roles, self-esteem and social-cultural attitude towards appearance on metro-sexual consumption. The findings are as follows: First, the majority of respondents experienced metro-sexual consumption in passive ways, such as purchasing cosmetics or perfume. Second, self-esteem differed by classification of identity of gender roles and the self-esteem was the most highly rated in non-classified, followed by in femininity, masculinity and androgyny. On the other hand, the non-classified group appeared to have the most highly social and cultural attitude toward appearance. Lastly, when examining the effect of personal variables, identity of gender roles, self- esteem and social-cultural attitude toward appearance on metro-sexual consumption, the results showed that the younger respondents who spend the highest monthly expenses on appearance, belong to the androgynous group and have the social-cultural attitude, are more likely to have a greater tendency towards metro-sexual consumption.
