Abstract

To cope with the increased demand on the intra-city transportation by urban rails, the introduction of the light rail transit (LRT) systems has been expedited in Korea due to the possible reduction of both the development and operation costs from adopting LRT systems. The LRT systems have so far been designed, constructed and operated based on the corresponding law and regulations. It has been conceived that fully complying with the existing guidelines may incur some extra costs on LRT. In addition, the present design of LRT stations seems to require unnecessarily long flow of passengers traffic, particularly for disabled people. In this paper, as an approach to solving the aforementioned issues, an introduction of 'LRT stops' has been studied where the stops are similar in concept to bus stops and are intended to replace the stations of a bigger scale in general. Specifically, necessary guidelines for design have been developed by modifying the existing ones to be fit with LRT stops. A design case was also presented to evaluate them. The effective use of the results reported here will provide an opportunity of cost reduction in connection with the construction and operation, and also let people benefit from convenient use of rails, thereby resulting in enhanced transportation welfare.

중단거리 수송을 위한 도시철도의 수요 증대에 부응하기 위해, 건설비 및 운영비 등의 절감을 실현할 수 있는 경전철 시스템의 도입이 국내에서 본격화되고 있다. 비록 경전철 시스템이 관련 규정에 근거하여 설계 및 시공, 그리고 운용되고 있지만, 일부 과다한 기준 및 사양을 맞추기 위해서 건설 및 운용 등에 초과 비용이 투입되는 것에 대한 문제점이 제기되고 있다. 게다가 경전철 역사의 경우 사용자의 동선이 불필요하게 길어져 시민들과 교통약자의 불편을 초래할 수 있다는 점이 지적되고 있어 경전철 역사의 슬림화가 필요한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 하나의 방안으로 경전철 역사 대신에 버스정류장 개념에 해당하는 '경전철 정류장' 개념의 도입을 위해 필요한 설계지침에 대해 연구하였다. 구체적으로 정류장 개념 도입을 뒷받침하기 위한 설계 기본방향 및 지침을 수정/보완하여 도출하였다. 또한 이를 상세설계에 적용시키는 사례 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구결과의 활용을 통하여 경전철의 건설 및 운영 비용의 절감, 시민들의 경전철 이용편의 증진 등의 결과로 교통복지를 강화할 수 있는 기회가 될 것이다.
