Abstract
In domestic railway stations, transporting cargo using overhead cranes is difficult because of the catenary lines. Horizontal moving piggy-back transfer technology is a method of transporting trailers or cargo together with trucks on freight trains while avoiding the catenary lines. This thesis is a study on the design technology of piggy-back loading and unloading transfer facilities that satisfies all the conditions necessary for the use of the existing railroad network in Korea. By developing a shuttle system, including an air cushion transporter and a docking unit, the piggyback transport system was designed. This technology is expected to improve railroad logistics technology and expand the logistics market.
