In this paper, we have proposed Station Safety Management System to protect station accident. we establish a sensor part near an underground rail. If a passenger approaches an underground rail, at first, lamp is shining and warning sound is ringing. nevertheless he approaches end of underground rail, At the same time, lamp is shining, warning sound is ringing, this information transfer server and train using wireless LAN. We makes this system using low cost in comparison with another system.

This essay aims to look into the possibility and limit of a technological fix with the PSD (platform screen door), which was proposed as the solution of subway risk problems. Subway risk problems may be classified into five categories-on-rail accidents, in-station accidents, platform accidents, spatial risks in underground, and risks due to a crime or terror-, and the platform accidents, which happens at the interface between the rail and the station, is the most serious and prominent. The PSD is considered as an effective technical means to prevent platform accidents. However, there remains a possibility of aggravating unexpected and invisible risks. When a fire breaks out in platforms, especially at exchange stations during the rush hour, the PSD can become a "wall of outcrying", since it may act as the "safety shutter" which killed many people in the 2003 Daegu subway disaster. This is why we need to look into the limit of a technological fix with the PSD.

승강장 스크린도어(PSD: Platform Screen Door)는 철도, 경전철 및 지하철 승강장 내 추락, 전동차 사이의 끼임 등의 안전사고 방지 및 승강장의 공기오염 개선, 장애인, 노약자 등의 탑승편의에 관한 문제, 승강장내의 쾌적한 환경문제 제공 등을 위해 전동차 승강장의 선단에 고정 및 가동 도어를 설치하여 승강장과 선로를 차단함으로써 이용 고객의 안전사고를 예방하는 설비를 말한다. 국내 업체들은 기술 투자를 통해 종합 제어반 및 각종 조작반, RF장치 등 상당 부분 국산화를 이루었지만, 짧은 기간 동안 승강장 스크린 도어를 설치하면서 승강장 스크린 도어 시스템의 핵심이라 할 수 있는 승강장 스크린 도어용 제어장치(DCU: Door Control Unit)의 완전한 국산화는 이루지 못한 채 외국 제품을 도입하여 설치하고 있거나 DC 모터를 적용한 제어장치를 개발하여 설치하고 있는 실정이었다. 본 연구에서는 BLDC 모터를 적용한 제어장치를 국산화하여 시제품을 제작하였고 월미도의 은하레일에 제어기를 설치하여 성능을 검증하였다.

Currently, dozens of CCTVs are widely used in railway station for monitoring passengers in danger and security areas. The most frequent accidents occur at the platform area where passengers boarding the train. However, It is almost impossible that station operator monitors dozens of CCTV screens and recognizes immediately accidents and handle them. Therefore, railway platform monitoring system using image processing technology which automatically detects platform accidents is needed, and in order to that, preferentially, accurate determination of train state in the platform is required. In the paper, we propose train state detection algorithm for vision based railway platform monitoring system. the proposed algorithm determines four different states i.e. trains approach(IN), departure(OUT), stop(ON), and empty(OFF) of the train, in the platform. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, we present the train detection results for the Seoul Metro Line 4 Dongjak and Namtaeryeong Station.

Recently, a lot of newsstands and mini station-store are operated as a store at the platform of subway. But the papers and magazines which are main articles for sale could be as the source of fire ignitable because those kind of easy flammable. Therefore the newsstands could be the target for fire. In this paper, numerical fire simulations for the News-stand were conducted to develop the news-stand fire simulation methodology for fire safety.

Platform screen door (PSD) installed at underground subway station has reduced the safety accident, but it may cause poor air ventilation condition due to the isolated exhaust duct in the subway tunnel area. In this study, the additional ventilation system was suggested, which can be installed at a void space (i.e., storage room under stairs) of platform in order to improve efficiency of air ventilation rate. Exhausted air from platform was directed to underneath of platform and joined with existing ventilation duct of train exhaust system (TES). One subway station in Seoul city was selected to predict the effectiveness of the suggested lower exhaust system by using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. The predicted mean age of air was decreased by 16.5% which proves the improvement of air ventilation efficiency when the suggested lower exhaust system was applied.

Recently, safety accident by misstep at the gap between the platform and railway vehicle have frequently occurred to the mobility handicapped including disabled person, children etc. in metropolitan subway region. Particularly, because the curved platform's gap from platform to railway vehicle is max. 260mm it is important to securement of the passenger's safe mobility right. So it is necessary to platform safety step equipment for needs technology to interface gap between the platform and railway vehicle. In this study we examined the function & production requirements of platform safety step and performed the conceptual design considering the crash safety and maintenance easiness. Moreover, considering various performance requirements we suggested step's operation procedure & control flowchart.

The purpose of this study is to present the most effective smoke exhaust mode by comparing the quantitatively evaluated risks according to the smoke exhaust mode when a train fire occurs in a subway platform. Therefore, applying the typical subway platform as a model, train fire scenarios are developed with the evacuation start time and location of the fire train for each exhaust mode. The fire accident rates (F) are calculated and the number of fatalities (N) was quantitatively estimated by fire analysis and evacuation analysis for each scenario. In addition, the F/N curve compared with the social risk assessment criteria and the following conclusions were obtained. In the event of a train fire at the subway station platform, the evacuation must start up within 600 s in maximum to ensure the evacuees' safety. To secure evacuation safety, it is advantageous to operate the HVAC system of the platform in the air-supply mode at station without TVF. Comparing the F/N curve for each exhaust mode with the social risk criteria, it turned out that the risk significantly exceeds the social risk criteria in case of no mechanical ventilation. As a result, this paper shows that the ventilation mode in which TVF are exhausted and HVAC system is operated in the pressurized mode are the most effective smoke exhaust mode for ensuring evacuation safety.
