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.

교통사고의 요인은 크게 운전자 요인, 도로환경 요인, 차량 요인으로 구분 할 수 있다. 운전자의 안전의식미비, 심리상태, 피로 등 운전자 요인과 차량의 고장, 정비상태 불량 등 차량요인은 운수업체의 경영과 직ㆍ간접적인 관계가 있으므로 사고예방을 위한 경영자의 안전의식이 교통사고에 영향을 끼친다는 것은 분명한 사실이다.(중략)

In order to assure the safety of train operation, a safety function analysis corresponding hazardous events of railway accidents and a safety requirement review on operation & management of trains have been performed. The preconditions and train composition requirements such as safety principles and functions that should be essentially considered to enable the safety operation of Urban-Transit trains are clearly presented. On the basis of presented train composition requirements, a rational revise of Urban Railway Operation Rule is proposed. It will be helpful in accident prevention and safety improvement for railway operation.

Even though accidents occurred inside urban railway stations demage not only one person, but also surrounding people, it can be prevented by cautious actions. This research aims at infants and children, which can maximize the educational impacts, to develop a safety textbook which can educate safety rules and behavioral know-how to reduce the accidents occurred in urban railway stations, and at parents and teachers to gather opinions through surveys on the research's future direction. This research conducts a case study and comparison analysis on domestic and foreign safety manuals, which is organized in a book form of fairy tales educating safety rules for readers to utilize the urban railway by steps from boarding to taking off. Through a survey we conducted for parents and teachers as providing the safety textbook developed through this research, we could get the positive evaluations and gather opinions on the future research direction. The safety textbook developed in a form of fairy tale book through this research is for infants and children to use the urban railway in a safe manner, which is expected to evoke the interests and curiosity and create the educational impacts on users.

새 정부는 국민의 행복실현을 위해 안전의 중요성을 강조하고 있다. 이에 해양수산부에서도 해양사고 30% 감소를 목표로 해양안전실천운동본부 발대식 및 해양안전헌장 선포, 선박안전관리자협의회 출범 등 민 관이 함께 해양에서의 안전 확보에 노력하고 있다. 그러나 안전관리의 주체인 해운선사의 안전관리 수준을 객관적으로 평가하기 위한 평가지표 및 안전관리 평가시스템 등은 없는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 도로, 철도, 항공 등 타 분야의 안전관리 정보시스템 구축 및 운영사례를 조사 분석하여 시사점을 도출하였다. 또한 해운선사의 안전관리 수준을 평가하기 위해 해양사고정보, 항만국통제 점검결과, 안전관리체제 심사결과 데이터를 분석하여 이들 데이터를 통합 관리할 수 있는 데이터베이스의 구축, 평가프로그램을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 안전관리 평가시스템을 이용하여 해양안전 우수사업자 평가업무, 우수 선박관리사업자 인증업무 등에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The paper suggests risk management methodology for alleviating casuality accidents at urban railway stations. Risk management deals with countermeasures for reducing accident probability or consequences to reach at the certain level of risk. First of all, Economic evaluations using cost and benefit for all the alternatives are performed. The alternatives exceeding B/C ratio greater than 1, each alternative is applied in the order of higher B/C ratio. this process is repeated when the level of risk is reduced as low as reasonably practical (ALARP). In order to determine the level of ALARP, Level of Service (LOS) for casuality risk at urban railway stations is proposed. The ALARP level is set to the LOS "C". Finally, a case study is applied to the Jongno 3-ga station, which is a highest risky station among all the stations operated by Seoul Metro and Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Cooperation (SMRT).

This study highlights the theme of human error emerging as a critical issue in the railroad industry, conducting exploratory research on the effects of health, cognition, and safety climates on safety behavior and accidents using an empirical method. The statistical results based on questionnaires received from 204 train drivers indicate that psychological fatigue, cognitive failure, and internal locus of control as individual variables and CEO philosophy and behavior of immediate boss as organizational variables have significant relationships with safety behavior, while cognitive failure, CEO philosophy, behavior of immediate boss, and education were found to be significant variables with respect to accidents. Furthermore, unsafe behavior such as mistakes and violations showed negative effects on near misses and responsibility accidents, respectively. Based on these results, effective alternatives and countermeasures needed to mitigate human error were posited.
