Korean Train Control System
The Korean Train Control System (KTCS) is a train protection system established as a standard specification for the South Korean railway. KTCS-1 is designed for general lines (ATP), KTCS-2 for high-speed lines, and KTCS-M for Urban rail transit. History Before the development of the KTCS, South Korea did not have domestically produced train signal control system technology, so most of the core technology was imported. Afterwards, it was developed according to the national Research and development (R&D) project, the domestic signal system standardization and domestic production plan. If the Gyeongbu high-speed train signal control system is built in the country's version, KTCS-2, it will be possible to save about 1.2 trillion South Korean won or more in budget compared to the existing foreign system, and it will also be possible to provide infrastructure that supports operating speeds of up to 320 km/h. In 2012, the Korea Railroad Research Institute, Korail and Hyundai Rotem p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sagok Station
The Gyeongbu line (''Gyeongbuseon'') is a railway line in South Korea and is considered to be the most important and one of the oldest in the country. It was constructed in 1905, connecting Seoul with Busan via Suwon, Daejeon, and Daegu. It is by far the most heavily travelled rail line in South Korea. All types of high-speed, express, local, and freight trains provide frequent service along its entire length. History In 1894–1895, the Empire of Japan and Qing China fought the First Sino-Japanese War for influence over Korea. Following the war, Japan competed with the Russian Empire's railway expansion in Northeast Asia, which led it to seek the right from the Korean Empire to build a railway from Busan to Keijō. This railway line was intended by Japan to solidify its strategic positions against Russia, which it would later go to war. Surveying began in 1896, and in spite of local protests, the Korean Empire gave Japan the right to build the line in 1898. Construction o ...
