According to the railway accident statistics in recent years, the frequency of accidents has been significantly reduced, due to the advance of related technologies and the establishment of safety information management systems. Nonetheless, accidents due to errors in the operation and maintenance phase and faults in safety design continue to occur. Therefore, to prevent accidents, guidelines for the safety design and manufacture of railway vehicles were established, and a request for the independent safety evaluation of safety designs was made. To respond to this, rail system developers must prepare safety cases as a safety activity product. One of the main items of these safety cases is the safety-related application conditions (SRAC) and, thus, the question of how to develop these SRAC is an important one. The SRAC studies reported so far focused only on the simplicity of the derivation procedure and the specific safety activities in the design phase. This method seems to have the advantage of quickly deriving SRAC items. However, there is a risk that some important safety-related items may be missing. As such, this paper proposes an improved method of developing the SRAC based on the idea of performing both the safety design and safety evaluation activities throughout the whole system lifecycle. In this way, it is possible to develop and manage the SRAC more systematically. Especially, considering the SRAC from the initial stage of the design can allow the safety requirements to be reflected to a greater extent. Also, an application case study on railway signaling systems shows that the method presented herein can prevent the omission of important safety-related items, due to the consideration of the SRAC throughout the system lifecycle.

For the safety of train operation, monitoring & supervisory systems for train, signal, power, communication and facilities is operating independently in another place, so, its sensors are interdependently connected from each other to transfer gathering datas of sensing to control center. A Goal of Real-time railway safety supervision system is to improve the safety oversight efficiency and to prevent accidents by means of hazard prediction based on big data by integrating all of safety sensing data in wayside of railway, and the System is requested acquisition of all of sensing data of safety. So, we need special method of protocol converting for the purpose of integrating all of detecting data concerning safety without any changing application. In this paper we investigate the existing converting method in communication field, and propose a new progress to converting protocol adding function of transfer using XML file, and implemented this algorithm, and tested with example packets, finally.

The real-time railway safety monitoring and control system is for prevention of safety accidents, and this system adopts DDS (Data Distribution Service) standard based data transmission method to support integrated management of data from existing on-site safety detection devices. In this paper, we introduce the design of DDS-based data specification from on-site signal equipment on the conventional railway. For this, we (1) design UML data model of KRS SG 0062 standard which defines existing data specification, (2) define DDS Topics for DDS transmission and map KRS model to DDS Topic model, (3) suggest data transformation rules and (4) design network control QoS polices. In addition, we analysis actual on-site log data and validate our data specification design. DDS-based data transmission enables data compatibility among on-site devices and the real-time railway safety monitoring and control system, and allows efficient network management for a large amount of data transfer.

In Korea, the railway history has more than 100 years and the KTX(Korean Express Railway) was launched on April 1, 2004. Nevertheless, the safety management of the railway has not been emphasized. Thus this paper proposed the novel frame of the railway safety management system which can secure the railway safety and administer the railway accidents via Management Systems from domestic to international. Secondly, we developed the prototype Management System for the railway accident based on GIS(Geographic Information System) by introducing the concept of "location". This Management System has two parts: space and attribute. Also it provides the map for emergency actions.

The study of safety culture estimate has received a wide attentions in many other industries, rather in the contexture of railroad stands at an initial phase. A factor analysis and internal reliability test were conducted to check if the survey results are reliable by looking at how the factors are dimensioned and how the questionnaires are sub-grouped in accordance with such factors, and further if there are any other common attributes being extracted as a new factor. The designed 5 factors were expanded to 7 through the test, and they were renamed accordingly. The questionnaires are reorganized according to the new 7 factors. It implicates that thorough investigation of the common attributes is important in reducing the gaps between interviewers' and interviewees' understanding. Moreover, the results of internal reliability test represent the new design of questionnaire is reasonably acceptable with the high reliable values. We expect such approaches can be applied for the railway culture survey study to be more reliable and applicable.

기존 국내의 간선 철도와 도시철도에서는 궤도회로에 기반한 고정폐색방식에 의한 열차제어시스템을 사용하고 있으나, 세계적인 추세가 유지보수 비용을 줄이고 선로 용량을 증가시킬 수 있는 무선통신을 이용한 이동폐색방식에 의한 새로운 통신기반 열차 제어 시스템(CBTC(Communication Based Train Control) system)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 특히 도시철도의 경우 이에 대한 실용화가 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 현재 국내에서도 한국철도공사에서는 분당선 구간에 CBTC 시스템의 시범적응을 진행하고 있으며, 또한 한국철도기술연구원에서도 건설교통부가 추진하고 있는 도시철도 표준화 사업의 한 분야로 도시철도 신호시스템에 대한 향후의 표준화 방향을 CBTC 시스템으로 선정하고, 이에 대한 표준화 및 국산화 연구개발이 진행되고 있다. 또한 유럽에서 진행되고 있는 ERTMS/ETCS 시스템의 레벨 2와 3에서는 앞의 방식하고는 다른 GSM-R의 무선방식을 사용하고 있지만 이 또한 무선통신에 의한 열차제어시스템을 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 무선통신을 이용한 열차제어시스템에 있어서의 안전제동모델에 대해 연구하였으며 그 결과를 소개하고자 한다.
