<Secure Public Safety by Expanding LTE-R>

Commercializing KR LTE-R* in the high-speed railway between Weonju and Gangneung, KR is expanding its application to nationwide railway

network including three projects such as the Sosa-Weonsi section and Ulsan New Port in 2018. The LTE-R will enable the high-speed transfer of

image and large-capacity data among train, control center, maintenance staff, and operating company. This change will improve the safety in

train operation and sophisticate maintenance and logistics services through real-time monitoring. Moreover, it will enable the safety

management service utilizing the IoT function and interface to the (PSLTE), an integrated wireless communication network of agencies related

to national disaster, will significantly contribute to coping with disaster situation and recovery promptly. KR plans to extend LTE-R to 4,726 km

of railway routes nationwide by 2027 to ensure safety.​ 

<Early Installation of 100% Platform Safety Door>

As the accidents on the railway platform have rapidly increased (a total of 122 cases) in the past 6 years, KR is carrying out the “ZERO Accident”

campaign and completes the installation of platform safe doors in June 2018, five years ahead of schedule. It was able to shorten the installation

period by pre-investment through the issuance of industrial bonds after considering the investment trend and limited utilization of available

resources when relying solely on government finance. As a result, KR was able to install the platform safety door in 246 stations of the

metropolitan railway in the capital region, resulting 75% reduction of accidents on the platform in the past three years as well as the reduction

of indirect social cost and the improvement of air quality in the station 

<Railway stations customized for mobility disabled>

KR is expanding facilities and services for mobility disabled persons so that everyone can use railways safely and conveniently. Public

contest was held to hear ideas to make design changes to railway stations including designating at least 10% of chairs in waiting room

for persons with mobility disability and preparing standards on path guiding systems inside stations to install beacons (mobile phone

position transmissions) for visually impaired persons. In addition, 4 elevators and 16 escalators have been installed at 4 stations on

Bungdang Line and comfort zones for protection from the heat and cold have been opened at 9 stations on Gyeongbu Line to minimize

inconveniences.
