Korece: 한국고속철도

KTX(Korea Train Express) G. Kore'nin en hizli trenidir. Trenin teknolojisi büyük ölçüde, Fransiz TGV sisteminden esinlenilmistir. Hizi baslarda 350 km/h iken emniyet için hizmet esnasinda 300 km/h ile sinirlandi. Insa olduktan 12 yil sonra 31 Mart'ta açildi. (2004)

ENGLISH

Korea Train eXpress (KTX) is South Korea's high-speed rail system, operated by Korail. Construction began on the first section of the high-speed line from Seoul to Busan in 1992. The project was later split into two phases, and combined with conventional line upgrades, adding a second route from Seoul to Mokpo. The system's technology is largely based on the French TGV/LGV system, but domestic development on the basis of the transferred technology began early. The first phase of the project was completed and KTX services were launched on April 1, 2004. After missing forecasts and running deficits in the first year, KTX increased ridership and market share, transporting more than 100,000 passengers daily and making a profit for Korail since 2007.

The second phase of the Seoul–Busan project was completed and entered service on November 1, 2010, with two sections across urban areas remaining for completion until 2014. Construction of a second high-speed line, to replace the conventional line to Mokpo, begun in December 2009, intended for service from 2014. Other new lines and upgraded conventional lines are in various stages of construction or planning.

Top speed for trains in regular service is currently 305 km/h (190 mph), though the infrastructure is designed for 350 km/h (217 mph). The initial rolling stock, designated KTX-I, was based upon Alstom's TGV Réseau, and was partly built in Korea in the framework of a technology transfer. The domestically developed HSR-350x prototype, which achieved the South Korean rail speed record of 352.4 km/h (219.0 mph) in tests, resulted in a second type of high-speed trains operated by Korail, the KTX-II, later re-named KTX-Sancheon. Research is on-going until 2014 with another prototype, the HEMU-400X, to develop the KTX-III, which will operate at 350 km/h (217 mph).
