Abstract

Since inaccurate demand estimation for recent urban rail construction may result in financial burden to cities, precise prediction for operating cost as well as construction costs is necessary to avoid or reduce budget loss of the local or central government. The operating cost is directly related to the public fare and affect a policy to determine the rate system. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop an estimating model for reliable operating cost of urban railway. This study introduces a new model to estimate the operating cost with new variables. It provides a better prediction in accuracy and reliability compared to the existing model, considering the feature of urban railway. For verification of our model, railway operation data from a few cities for the last five years were comprehensively examined to determine variables that affect the operating cost. The operating cost was estimated in a dummy regression model using five independent variables, which were average distance between stations, daily trains distance, total passenger capacity of a train in a train, driving mode(manned/unmanned), and investment type(financial/private).

최근 일부 도시에서는 도시철도 건설 시 부정확한 수요예측에 따른 재정적 부담으로 많은 갈등을 겪은 바 있는데, 건설비용뿐만 아니라 운영비용을 잘못 예측할 경우에도 지자체 또는 정부에 막대한 예산 낭비를 초래할 우려가 있다. 특히 운영비용은 공공재인 도시철도의 요금정책에도 직접적인 영향을 줄 수 있으므로 도시철도의 현실적인 운영비용을 추정하는 모형 개발이 시급하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 도시철도의 특성을 가장 잘 설명하는 변수와 기존 연구에서 사용된 변수들보다 정확성과 신뢰성을 높일 수 있는 변수를 투입하여 운영비용의 추정모형을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 먼저 국내 도시철도를 대상으로 최근 5년의 도시철도 운영데이터를 수집하여 운영비용에 영향을 미치는 변수들을 종합적으로 검토하였고 평균 역간거리, 열차 운행 거리, 열차정원, 운전유형(유 무인), 사업유형(재정 민자)을 독립변수로 선정, 더미회귀모형을 구축하여 실질적인 운영비용을 추정하였다.
