저탄소 화물열차를 위한 경제속도 결정에 관한 연구

초록

Rail transport has been considered as an environmental-friendly transport mode compared with other transport modes such as ship, truck, and aircraft. However, rail industry can not avoid a duty of alleviating Greenhouse gases emission owing to the Korean government polices for green growth which is an economic paradigm that simultaneously pursues growth and environmental improvement. The purpose of this research is to develop a methodology of determining an economic speed of freight train to be green freight train by considering fuel cost, environmental cost, and time cost. In the methodology, we first define a cost function based on cost factors and then suggest an economic speed of freight train by deriving a property.
