  • Introduction of Rapid Urban Railway System -Construction of Subway Line 9
    Introduction of Rapid Urban Railway System -Construction of Subway Line 9 Introduction of Rapid Urban Railway System - Construction of Subway Line 9 Written by: Seoul Institute Dr. Seung-Jun Kim & Dr. Joon-Ho Ko Policy Area: Urban Railway (Metro) Background of Construction of Subway Line 9 Since the 1950s, the population of Seoul has undergone such explosive growth, that it rose by 630% by 1990. Even in the early 1990s, the population continued to increase. Though the 2nd phase of construction of subway lines was in progress at that time, the need to carry on the 3rd phase of construction was raised for the first time in 1991, because of this explosive growth. In November 1993, a basic plan for the 5 subway lines including new construction of subway line 9~12 and the extension of subway line 3 was announced. At that time, the transport share of the subway lines was 32%. The goal of the basic plan was to raise the transport share to 75% after completion of the 3rd phase of construction of subway lines. The 1995 explosion accident that occurred in the Daegu subway1 caused all subway lines under construction or on the plan list to go through reevaluation of their plans or adjustment of construction periods before construction could be started or resumed, according to the government policies. This caused the completion of the 2nd phase of construction to be delayed. The start of the 3rd phase of construction was scheduled in 1996, but was postponed to 1998 or later because the policy on financing method could not be established in time.

  • New Signalling System and Trains on the East Rail Line from 12 September 2020
    PR061/20 28 August 2020 New Signalling System and Trains on the East Rail Line from 12 September 2020 The MTR Corporation announced today (28 August 2020) that, in preparation for extending the East Rail Line (EAL) across the harbour to Admiralty Station, the commissioning of the new signalling system on the EAL will take place on 12 September 2020 (Saturday). From this date, new 9-car trains will be progressively introduced on the EAL. This is an important milestone for Shatin to Central Link (SCL) project. From12 September, there will be a mix of new 9-car and existing 12-car trains, i.e. Mixed Fleet Operations, on the EAL. By the time the EAL runs all the way to Admiralty, as many as 37 new 9- car trains will be introduced. Measures will be introduced in stations to facilitate passenger familiarisation with the new boarding and alighting arrangements for Mixed Fleet Operations. Passengers will be guided by prominent blue and green signs on platforms, information display panels, clear public announcements and additional customer service staff in stations. Measures, such as deploying the 12-car trains as practical as possible to serve the southbound traffic during the morning peak hours in the early stage of the new arrangement, have been formulated to ensure smooth passenger flow and railway service. “The new signalling system and trains at the EAL have completed all necessary testing and drills, and obtained approval from the relevant Government departments. They are ready for passenger service in terms of safety and reliability,” said Mr C L Leung, Head of E&M Construction of MTR Corporation.

  • High-Speed Rail in Korea: Lessons for the Midwest
    High-Speed Rail in Korea: Lessons for the Midwest The Republic of Korea (South Korea) launched Korea Train eXpress (KTX) in 2004, becom- ing the fifth nation to launch high-speed rail service. South Korea has developed its high-speed rail infrastructure in a phased, blended approach that could provide an implementation model for high-speed rail development in the Midwest. The nation’s manufacturers have made great strides in developing next generation high-speed rail technology and could be a significant resource for equipment and expertise as the Midwest progresses with its plans. Midwest High Speed Rail Association, December 7, 2013 1 Routes Used by KTX Trains Midwest High Speed Rail Association, December 7, 2013 2 The Market South Korea has population of 50 million—which is slightly larger than the combined popula- tions of Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. And yet this na- tion occupies only about 38,000 square miles, slightly less than the area of Ohio. The city proper of Seoul, the nation’s capital, has a population of more than 10 million. Nearly 26 million people live in the entire metropolitan area. The nation’s Gross Domestic Product, at just over $1 trillion, ranks 15th among the world’s economies—approximately equal to the combined economies of Illinois and Ohio, the Midwest’s two largest states. South Korea’s primary transportation axis runs from Seoul to Busan, the country’s second largest city with a population of 3.4 million. A secondary population belt stretches along the western coast from Seoul to Mokpo.

  • Hyundai's Challenge to Coordinated Capitalism
    Fordism Light: Hyundai’s Challenge to Coordinated Capitalism BRIE Working Paper 186 Copyright by Author March, 2010 Gregory W. Noble Institute of Social Science University of Tokyo ABSTRACT Despite receiving a strikingly pessimistic evaluation in the acclaimed volume The Machine that Changed the World (Womack et al., 1990), the Hyundai-Kia group has overcome numerous crises to become the fourth largest auto producer in the world. Hyundai’s rise is especially striking because the company has repeatedly failed to implement Toyota’s famed “lean production” system. Hyundai’s labor unions, though well paid by Korean standards, have opposed management’s attempts at rationalization, and gone on strike almost every year. Aside from a few key component companies firmly controlled by the Hyundai group, relations with suppliers remain distant and overwhelmingly focused on price. Hyundai’s impressive achievements in improving quality have stemmed from relentless attention by top management and extensive use of quality inspectors rather than from intensive cooperation with workers and suppliers. Corporate governance remains closed and murky. Even after democratization, Korea’s political system has not provided an environment conducive to cooperation and coordination among assemblers, suppliers and labor. Recent studies of manufacturing have focused on the success of “Toyotism” and “coordinated capitalism,” but the rise of Hyundai suggests that firms in upper-tier developing countries with rapidly growing demand and reasonably high-quality human capital can use a modified version of Fordism—mass production of standardized commodities by vertically-integrated firms employing a reasonably paid but not highly incorporated labor force—to achieve great success in international competition even with complex and highly integrated products such as automobiles.
