철도 운전사고의 대부분을 차지하는 철도건널목에 대한 기존의 사고예측식은 국외의 경우 Peabody Dimmick Formula, New Hampshire Index, National Cooperative Highway Research Program(NCHRP) report 50, U.S. Department of Transportation(DOT) 사고예측식 등을 이용하고 있었으며, 국내의 경우, U.S. DOT 사고예측식의 입력변수를 다변량 분석법을 이용하여 국내에 맞게 조정한 사고예측식을 이용하고 있다. 그러나 위에서 제시한 철도건널목 사고예측식은 철도건널목에서 발생하는 사고를 단순히 철도통행량, 도로통행량, 선로수, 도로수 등의 요인에 국한하여 분석한 것이고, 사고예측식 자체가 철도건널목에만 국한된다는 맹점을 안고 있어서 철도건널목장치라든지 철도건널목을 이용하는 사람들의 성향 등, 여러 인자를 고려한 철도건널목에서의 안전성분석 및 대책을 제시할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 철도건널목장치를 포함하여 다른 시스템에도 범용적으로 적용할 수 있고, 제한된 변수에만 국한하지 않아 여러 사항을 고려할 수 있는 안전성분석 절차를 제시하였는데 이 안전성 분석 절차를 철도건널목에 적용함으로써 시스템의 위험요인을 분석하고, 이에 대한 원인 및 결과, 손실을 도출한 후 대책을 제시할 수 있었다.

The number of accidents occurring at railway crossings is less than the accidents on other sections of roads but they cause enormous socio-economic damages. The geometric aspects of the railway crossing have to allow the drivers to recognize the crossings and take precautions against collisions. Therefore, ensuring visibility for the vehicle approaching the railway crossing is necessary for safe operation of the crossing. However, as there is little research related to railway crossing visibility in Korea. validating visibility and maintaining visibility based on the validation is badly needed. This research develops a visibility validation model to support improving visibility and to reduce accidents at railway crossings to improve safety for the crossing users.

Railroad crossing crashes are fewer than road crashes, but with regard to crash severity, they can be serious injury crashes. There should be, therefore, enormous efforts to increase the safety of railroad crossings. The objective of this paper is to identify and understand factors associated with railroad crossing crashes. Statistical models are used to examine the relationships between crossing accidents and geometric elements of crossings. The results show the Poisson model is the most appropriate method for the crossing accidents, because overdispersion was not observed. This study identifies seven significant factors associated with railroad crossing crashes through the main and variant models. With regard to explanatory factors on crossing safety, the total traffic volume, daily train volume, presence of commercial area around crossings, distance of train detector from crossings, time duration between the activation of warning signals and gates, crossing types, and speed hump were found to affect the safety of railroad crossings.

When railway crossing is required to be improved to improve road traffic efficiency, cost-benefits analysis is conducted. In the analysis, such benefits as the reduction of the delay in road vehicle traffic and related costs and reduction of traffic accidents have been appropriately estimated, however, which has not been the case for the reduction of railway operation costs and accidents. This omission may result in a significant difference in the total estimation of the benefits achievable in a long railway line where many of the crossings are improved or reconstructed. This would deteriorate the rationality of the benefit analysis. As the result, although there are various, significant benefits recognizable in the improvement of railway crossings, but they have not been included in the list of the benefits due to the difficulty in calculation. To this end, this paper proposes a methodology of the calculation of the benefits of railway crossing improvement by estimating the unit costs used in the estimation of the benefits obtainable by the reduction of the railway operation costs and the reduction of the accidents at a crossing on the basis of past studies and data.

본 논문에서는 실제 철도 건널목(교차로)에서 발생하는 소음 및 진동, 차량 및 보행자 사고와 같은 위험 요소로부터 발생하는 위험 상황들을 분류하고, 철도 건널목(교차로) 운행 상황을 구현한 모형 철도 주변에 센서를 부착하여 철도 건널목에서 발생하는 위험 요소들을 아두이노 센서로 감지해 데이터를 수집한다. 또한 수집된 데이터들을 활용하여 사용자의 상황에 맞는 철도데이터 운영시스템을 제안한다.

A railroad is used to a lot of area and it is an eco-friendly and an effective means of communication which is a transport for passengers and products. In recent years, the accidents caused by subway and railroad are cognate with people. We need to come up with preparing measures to avoid the accidents. In this paper, to prevent an accident developing and implementing a system which is a railroad management safety system is the purpose. The system is able to provide scalability for smart railroad safety service based on context aware information. Besides, it is able to furnish flexibility through the OSGi framework.

In order to overcome the difficulties of quantitative risk analysis such as complexity of model, we propose a systematic methodology for risk quantification of railway system which consists of 6 steps: The identification of risk factors, the determination of major scenarios for each risk factor by using event tree, the development of supplementary fault trees for evaluating branch probabilities, the evaluation of event probabilities, the quantification of risk, and the analysis in consideration of accident situation. In this study, in order to address the feasibility of the propose methodology, this framework is applied to the prototype risk model of nation-wide railway level crossings. And the quantification result based on the data of 2005 in Korea will also be presented.

In this study, a risk assessment model based on the ETA (Event Tree Analysis) and FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) is developed according to the procedure of hazard analysis and risk assessment in order to estimate the risk quantitatively. The FTA technique is applied to estimate the branch probability (frequency) and the ETA technique is applied to estimate the consequence for each branch path on the ET (Event Tree). A risk assessment model is developed by the combination of those ETA and FTA. In addition, the reliability and the validity of the risk assessment model are verified by comparing the risk estimated through the developed model with the actual equivalent fatality.

The railway crossing is very dangerous because the track intersects with the road there. Thus, The laws were designed for safety of the railway crossing and they are classified as to the acts for the road and the railroad. For safety of the railway crossing, there are 'Road/Railroad Crossing Improvement Promotion Act', 'Enforcement Decree of Road/Railroad Crossing Improvement Promotion Act', 'Rules on Construction of Railroad', 'Rules on Safety Standards of Railroad Installations', and 'Enforcement Ordinance of Cable way/Railway Track Act' in the acts for the railroad and there are 'Road Traffic Act', 'Enforcement Ordinance of The Road Traffic Act', 'Ruled on Structure and Facility Standards of The Road', 'Rules on Structure And Facility Standards Of The Rural Road' and 'Rules on Structure and Facility Standards of The Installations for Bicycle' in the acts for the road. Both the acts for the road and the railroad have standards for the structure of the railway crossing. However, they have different standards. Besides, they don't have standards for new facilities which were recently installed for safety of the railway crossing. Therefore, we suggest new standards for safety of the railway crossing.
