This combination of superior speed and safety is enabling us to revolutionize Korea’s transportation industry as we continue to accelerate the pace of change. KORAIL PASS NO. 01-592218 KORAIL PASS NO. 01-592310 110 Years of Credibility Within seven years of the launch of Korea’s first rail service in late 1899, the first Trans-Korea Railway line was in place, linking the port of Busan on Korea’s southern tip with Sinuiju on its northern border with China. In the century that has passed, Korail has helped Korea grow and prosper in countless ways. With the basis of hard labor and world’s best competitive power technology that cultivated 110 years of experience, Korea Railroad Corporation now goes beyond the Korean Peninsula to flourish railroad’s renaissance worldwide. Long-Term Credit Ratings from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s A, A2 KRW600mn The yearly reduced amount of energy and CO2 discharge cost when the railroad’s transportation expense rate is increased by 1% Amidst the 21st Century’s Green Growth! The agenda in the 21st century is conceptualized by the world of eco-environment. With only the rise of 1% of transportation expense rate, a yearly cost of energy and CO2 discharge worth 600 billion won is reduced. Korea Railroad Corporation, the world’s fifth rapid transit railway, will use its successful management know-how to start a railroad renaissance within the country and globally for mankind to the sustainable green development. KORAIL PASS NO. 01-645246 CEO’s Message Our Goal is the “World’s Best, Korean Railroad” We have run faithfully as ever for 110 years. Since the Gyeongin line launched its first service in 1899, Korean railway has carried the energy of change to every corner of Korea to play the role of a secure main artery of modernization and industrialization. Korean railway, which took off one step more, with the launch of the KTX service in 2004, has turned the whole country into a half-day life area, vitalizing the national economy and creating a new life style. And right now, a dramatic leap for Korean railway is right in front of you. At this time, when railway is in the global limelight as the safest, most punctual, and environmentally friendly mode of transportation, we will turn this trend into a firm turning point towards a railway renaissance era. The goal that we would like to achieve through the renaissance of Korean railway is, the “World’s Best, Korean Railroad.” Outside, we will stretch out everywhere in the global community with our successful operational know-how of the world’s fifth high speed train. Inside, we will let people consider railway as the friendliest mode of transportation through our best quality service. The flag of Korean railway is being waved all around the world and in times of travel inside Korea, railway comes to our mind first — It is the features of the “World’s Best Korean Railroad,” that we are dreaming of. These are the true features of an advanced railway. Our great challenge has already begun.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction

    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction

    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • Real-Time Decision Making on Helicopter Dispatch During Multiple Forest Fires

    Real-Time Decision Making on Helicopter Dispatch During Multiple Forest Fires

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Duckha Jeon for the degree of Master of Science in Sustainable Forest Management presented on May 26, 2020. Title: Real-time Decision Making on Helicopter Dispatch during Multiple Forest Fires. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Woodam Chung On average there are over 500 forest fires burning more than 3,700 ha each year in South Korea. Between 2014 and 2018, 62 percent of forest fires were multiple fires burning simultaneously in more than two different locations across the country. These multiple fires make it difficult to make decisions of resource dispatch for suppression, as they compete for limited resources, such as helicopters. In order to support and improve decision-making in real-time helicopter dispatch, we developed a conceptual decision framework that lays out the process of information gathering, prioritization, and problem-solving. We developed an integer linear programming (ILP) model to solve helicopter dispatch problems. The model uses real-time data on available helicopter resources and fire spread to develop dispatch decisions while minimizing both suppression costs and burn perimeters. We developed five hypothetical forest fire events and applied the model to demonstrate the utility of the optimization model. We compared the model solutions with the manual solutions obtained from the Korea Forest Service for model validation. Our results show that the optimization model can rapidly analyze various fire suppression scenarios and provide a wide range of helicopter dispatch solution options. This can be useful to decision-makers as it can provide insights about decision sensitivity and bounds. The decision model can provide an analytical tool to assist decision-makers in determining suppression objectives, prioritizing resource allocations, and developing effective and efficient fire suppression solutions.

Reliable drought forecasting is necessary to develop mitigation plans to cope with severe drought. This study developed a probabilistic scheme for drought forecasting and outlook combined with quantification of the prediction uncertainties. The Bayesian network was mainly employed as a statistical scheme for probabilistic forecasting that can represent the cause-effect relationships between the variables. The structure of the Bayesian network-based drought forecasting (BNDF) model was designed using the past, current, and forecasted drought condition. In this study, the drought conditions were represented by the standardized precipitation index (SPI). The accuracy of forecasted SPIs was assessed by comparing the observed SPIs and confidence intervals (CIs), exhibiting the associated uncertainty.
