Abstract

In this paper, we review a variety of state-of-the-art research on assessment of the railway track capacity. We address the three well-known methods (Yamagishi, UIC 406, and TCRP-13) with individual case study in this research field. First, we explicitly present every derivation-step of the Yamagishi equations that has been most frequently applied in the Korean railway without clear understanding for it. Further, we present a prospective application scheme of the method as an analytic assessment method. Second, we address establishing process of UIC 406 standard and its application method, which is known as the standard method in Europe. Finally, we address the method and application of TCRP-13, and present comparison between the three methods. This paper is expected to contribute for improving understand on the in-using equations and methods in practice as well as for activating application of the internationally well-used method to the Korean railway.

본 연구에서는 철도 선로용량 산정 관련 다양한 기존 연구들을 재검토한다. 국내외에서 대표적인 이 분야 3가지 방법(야마기시, UIC 및 TCRP 방법)들을 사례와 함께 설명한다. 먼저 국내에서 가장 많이 활용되는 방식이면서도 각 단계에 대해 명확하게 이해되지 않았던 야마기시 방법의 산식 전개과정을 명확하게 제시한다. 또한, 다양한 해석적 방법의 하나로써 이 방법의 발전적 활용방안을 제시한다. 다음 최근 유럽에서 표준적으로 사용되는 UIC 406 방법의 제정 과정과 적용 방법을 설명한다. 마지막으로 도시철도의 수송용량 분석에 주로 활용되는 TCRP 방법의 특징을 설명하고, 이 3가지 방법의 특징을 비교 분석한다. 본 논문은 이 분야 현업 종사자들이 현재 사용 중인 철도 선로용량 산식에 대한 이해를 향상하고, 국제적으로 통용되는 방법의 국내 적용 활성화에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.
