To investigate the adequacy of maglev train system to future urban transport environments, first we derived minimum necessity requirements of the new-transit system by analyzing the issues in the urban transit management and new needs of transportation customers. Then the conformity of Maglev train to the requirements was examined. With respect to this adequacy analysis, policy directions and agenda of the making practical use of urban transit Maglev system' is proposed.

This paper studied on the application of the crashworthiness regulations of Korean Railway Safety Law and Urban Transit Safety Law to the urban Maglev vehicle of KIMM. The Urban Maglev vehicle has to comply with the crashworthiness regulations for urban transit vehicles. The collision load cases have been simulated by using explicit finite element analysis. From the numerical results, the crashworthiness regulations of the Urban Transit Safety Law were completely satisfied, but maximum crash pulse requirement in 25 km/h crash event and no plastic deformation requirement in 10 km/h crash event in the Korean Railway Safety Law were not. If a commercial urban Maglev vehicle is developed in the near future, it is necessary that some soft buffing and energy absorbing devices are adopted in its front end so as to satisfy the crashworthiness regulations of the Korean Railway Safety Law.

Reliable fast working maglev switch is one of the key technologies needed for the maglev system to be commercialized. Switch for the maglev system is large, heavy, complicated, expensive compared with that of the traditional wheel-on-rail system. This paper reports the development of a segmented maglev switch for urban transit maglev system under construction for the 6.1 km long double track maglev commercialization line in Inchon international airport in 2012. Test results along with details of the segmented maglev switch components are reported.

This paper studied on the application of Korean Railway Safety Law and Urban Transit Safety Law in Crashworthiness Regulations to the urban maglev vehicle of KIMM. The crashworthiness regulations for urban transit vehicle should be satisfied to the urban maglev vehicles according to crash analysis results using the explicit finite element method. However, according to its numerical results, the crashworthiness regulations of Korean Railway Safety Law were partially satisfied except the coupling and shunting condition. When a commercial urban maglev vehicle is developed in the near future, the crashworthiness regulations of Korean Railway Safety Law should be considered and satisfied during its structural design stage in some details

KIMM(Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials ) and ROTEM have been leading development of the low to medium speed urban transit maglev for the past 20 years. The result of this long term national project is UTM-01 ( Urban Transit Maglev -01 ) in 1998 and UTM-02 in 2006 and the 6.1 km long double track maglev commercialization project in Inchon international airport from 2006 to 2012. In this paper the status of the maglev development for the past 20 years is reported. Design changes in key technologies - maglev bogies, secondary suspension system, levitation system, propulsion system, major power suppling equipments from UTM-01 system to that of commercialization project - are described.

In this paper deals with running test for the UTM(Urban Transit Maglev)-01, that is test and evaluation for the maglev. We will predict about the test value for running maglev vhicle. In this time we tested rms gap fluctuation and peak to peak air gap for levitation system of UTM-01. And then we profit for the upgrade Maglev System.

This study is about a feasibility study for the practical using Urban Transit Maglev system based on systems engineering. First of all we defined what phase is matched with the project for feasibility study in the system life cycle and identified tasks that shall be done in the phase. Finally we suggested how to do in this project. The Urban Transit Maglev system is not wholly new system. It has similar architecture to a legacy urban railway system. But it is the system that is partially introduced new technology, because there are many projects have this characteristic within the country, we expect that this study may provide references.

Test Results and Status of development of the urban transit maglev system(UTM-O1) are reported. Maglev Project Team in KIMM, in cooperation with Hyundai Precision Company and the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute(KERI), has successfully finished the second stage development project (1995. 5-1998. 8) and demonstrated a prototype two vehicle consisted urban maglev train operating in the speed range of 50km/h. In this paper, we report various test results of the UTM-01 system, present status of quo and future prospect, and what have been done so far to improve the performance of the maglev system overall.
