Analysis of System Requirements for New Commuting Double-deck High Speed Train

초록

In 2012 when the high-speed train has been operated in Korea for tens years, the passenger demand on the section between Seoul~Cheonan~Osong~Daejeon in Gyeongbu high-speed line is increasing rapidly. The study for development of high-speed double-deck train has started in 2012 as solution to accept the increasing passenger demand on rush hour. In this study, we proposed the concept design and requirement for two models. Also, we suggested that the compatibility for the existing maintenance system and the interface with existing infrastructure must be considered in the concept design and requirement for a new double-deck high-speed train. Finally, we introduced the technical problems for development of a new double-deck high-speed train and how to solve them. We expect that the study of core technologies based by this study will be able to be promoted more effectively through the national R&D project for development of Korean double-deck high-speed train launching from 2013.
