The paper suggests to measure the risk of pedestrians inside urban railway stations. The level of risk is calculated in manner of both an average risk and average weighted risk of 9 different facility inside urban railway stations. Based on these level of risk, top 10 stations are chosen out of all the stations operated by Seoul Metro and Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Cooperation (SMRT). In order to alleviate the level of risk, countermeasures for those risks are surveyed for 60 experts who are now involved in safety issues in those 2 railway operation companies. A countermeasure survey for the accidents is done into 2 ways. One is to lower the probability of making accidents and the other is to alleviate the consequence for accidents. The effectiveness of those alternatives is surveyed between 1 to 5 yardsticks and converted into one value for each alternative.

THE DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN OF THE COUNTRY RAILROAD ACCIDENT ANALYSIS IT LED FROM THE PAPER WHICH IT SEES AND IT ANALYZED A TRAIN COLLISION/DERAILED ACCIDENT RISK FIXED QUANTITY. THE TRAIN ACCIDENT OCCURS DIRECT AND LATENT DAMAGE. IT CLASSIFIES THE ACCIDENT WHICH 5 YEAR FOR OCCURS RECENTLY DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN OF THE COUNTRY WITH A TYPE FROM THE RESEARCH WHICH IT SEES. IT TRIED TO ANALYZE THE DAMAGE SIZE AGAINST A TRAIN COLLISION/DERAILED ACCIDENT WITH DANGEROUS QUOTIENT.

국내 도시철도차량의 운행이 지속되면서 차량 사고가 발생함에 따라 차량복구의 안전성 확보와 복구보수비용 절감 등에 기여할 수 있는 안전진단 수행체계의 법제화를 통한 도시철도차량의 안전운행 확보가 절실하다. 그러므로 도시철도차량 안전진단은 차량을 복구하기 전 복구 가능여부를 확인하기 위하여 상태평가, 안전성평가 등을 실시하는 것이다.(중략)

This study presented quantitative risk analysis in case of transporting explosive materials by railway. Accident types were classified into accidents of in station and in transit. And the study presented an initial value of accident frequency through derailment accident and crushing one according to each type, and drew the results of accident frequency through event tree analysis. Damage impact evaluation used TNT equivalent method and probit analysis method. As the result of risk evaluation, railway transportation of explosive materials passing through areas which are high in population density is appeared to be able to cause a large number of personnel injury when occurring accidents. Specially, the accident of explosive transportation combined with petroleum was forecasted as easily resulting in large explosive accident. Consequently, there is a necessity to reduce consequences by decreasing passage through areas where are high in population density, and take measures for lessening the risks in case of transporting dangerous explosive materials.

The definition and classification of shunting, which involves the process of sorting rolling stock into complete train sets inside station yard, are not clearly specified in Korean domestic safety regulations for railway operations. As a result, collisions during shunting occur rather frequently compared with other types of accidents in railway operations. Therefore, new systematic safety principles are proposed in this paper to improve operation safety during shunting. The improvements in safety and efficiency derived from the newly proposed approach are analyzed and verified in field application.

This paper analyzes the changes in rail policy in the UK between 1948 and 2007. The UK rail system, once a nationalized industry, was privatized in 1994. Consequently it increased the role of government after 2000, which was a year of frequent rail accident. Recently the UK rail system has made solving global warming and EU interoperability in rail. This paper examines the main factors in changes in rail policy in the UK, which is through the ruling party's ideology, comprehensive transport policy, aimed at reducing global warming and rail accident. Moreover, this paper clarifies the characteristics of rail policy that is consistent with social role of rail, integrative transport policy and acknowledging the positive role of rail against global warming.
