Abstract

Construction of the Kyung-Inn Canal between Inchon and Han River water way of 18 kilometer length is considered recently. The canal may reduce traffic congestions between Seoul and Inchon, remarkably. Since the type of transportation system of the canal will be barge system, an analysis on the canal barge characteristics is carried out in this paper. The merits and demerits of various canal barge transportation systems are studied, respectively. Also, several barge connecting systems are studied and the corresponding characteristics are analyzed and compared. Optimal barge system is selected based on the simple modeling of the several barge systems and the relevant evaluations. Primitive design issue of the barge transportation system of the canal is also presented.
