Daejeon Transportation Corporation announced that it has established an "embedded track test line for sharp curves" to test the running performance of tram vehicles.

The tram test line is a track constructed as part of a national research project to test tram performance on curved sections, and it is expected to be utilized for the construction of Line 2 trams in the future.

The tram track built at the Oesam Vehicle Depot will be used to test the performance of the tram articulation device currently being developed by a consortium formed by Daejeon Transportation Corporation, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's national R&D project, component developers, testing agencies, and vehicle manufacturers.

In particular, it is expected that this will provide a foundation to prove the safe operation performance of trams in challenging areas such as Science Park Intersection and Daejeon Station Intersection, which are the sharpest curve sections on Daejeon Metro Line 2.

Yeon Gyuyang, President of Daejeon Transportation Corporation, said, "Ahead of the construction of Daejeon Metro Line 2, we are localizing key core components of the tram, which will become the main mode of transportation for Daejeon citizens," and added, "We plan to actively support the stable opening of tram lines by utilizing the corporation's sharp curve test tracks."
