Abstract

The railway industry is constrained by barriers within itself, which prevent it from competing effectively with other means of transportation, particularly road transportation. Therefore, many countries have adopted the policies that aim to remove barriers to providing international transport services by creating a common framework for railway industry. Recently, the European Union has produced the European Interoperability Directives, which aim to remove the technical problems involved in running trains between member states. In this respect, it is important to harmonize the technical requirements and specifications of Korea railway industry. This paper presents an action plan for the advancement of railway technical specifications in Korea. For this, the railway law and regulations of other countries are reviewed. Also the technical problems and operational barriers of railway industry are analyzed in Korea. This will help transportation agencies to resolve the technical problems of criteria in Korea railway industry.
