Abstract

Recently the increase in the exchange of goods between Europe and Asia caused by social and economic factors creates good opportunities for railways. At the same time, however, it becomes an enormous challenge for railway transport. There are different rail track gauges (i.e narrow/standard/broad gauge) on the continental transportation between Korea (TKR) and Eurasian (TCR/TSR). The existence of various track gauges is one of obstacles preventing the smooth flow of goods by rail. The transferring process system from one track gauge to another could vary with the types of cargo. Service operation of these systems has a decisive effect on working time and cost of storage and transshipment facilities at border crossings. In relation to the above-mentioned factors, it is important to examine the comparison between different methods of transferring goods in different track gauges. In this study, it was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of continental railway transportation systems through analysis scenarios and to suggest technical factors of them.

최근 유럽과 아시아 사이의 물류 증가는 철도수송에 있어서 사회적/경제적으로 좋은 기회이며, 동시에 커다란 도전이 될 수 있다. 유라시아 대륙에는 다양한 궤간이 존재하고 있다. 이러한 궤간의 차이는 철도에 의한 화물수송시 장애요인중의 하나이다. 궤간 차이를 극복하기 위한 방법은 수송 화물의 유형에 따라 달라질 수 있으며, 국경 지점에 보관 창고 및 환적 설비와 같은 넓은 기반 시설과 많은 운영 인력수요와 같은 철도 수송 시스템의 운영에 많은 영향을 준다. 따라서 철도 수송 시스템의 효율성은 복잡한 하역 및 교환 기술에 관련된 궤간 극복 방법에 매우 의존한다. 본 논문은 궤간 극복 방법에 대한 기술적 평가를 기반으로 수송 시나리오의 효율성을 검토하고, 각 시나리오의 운영에서 요구되는 기술적 요소들을 기술하였다.
