KOREA RAILROAD RESEARCH INSTITUTE(KRRI)

초록

Korea Railroad Research Institute The Korea Railroad Research Institute (KRRI) was established in 1996 to research public transportation technologies, including railway infrastructure, railroad cars, information, communication, operation, policy, and applications. 1996 was the year that the Korean government phased in the first high-speed train, KTX. The government needed an institute to test and evaluate the new system. Although the root was the high-speed train, the role of the KRRI was not limited to this, and was expanded to overall technologies with respect to railways and public transportation. The geotechnical aspect of KRRI is introduced in this article.
