Abstract

Despite the growing importance of safe railroad operation with the recent implementation of the Severe Accident Punishment Act, industrial accidents related to the shunting of railway vehicles persist. Therefore, the government and Korea Railroad Corporation are collaborating on an automated connection and disconnection system that enables remote control of shunting trains from a central control room, utilizing surveillance cameras. By eliminating the need for on-site workers during freight car operations at stations, it aims to reduce safety accidents inherent in manual receiving processes. A qualifying government-issued railway vehicle driver's license is necessary to handle this newly developed automatic connection and disconnection system. As a result, this study aims to establish an appropriate driver qualification system.
