A Safety Case is an railway organization's formal arrangement, through the provision of policies, resources and processes, to ensure the safety of its work activity within safety management system. An effective system helps the organization to identify and manage risks effectively. It allows an organization to demonstrate its capability in achieving its safety objectives and in meeting regulatory requirements. The purpose of this research is to give how to the risk assessments are described within Railway Safety Cases can be prepared and maintained to meet the criteria specified by the upcoming railway regulations. Through this research, we propose the elements of safety management system that include arrangements for the ongoing identification of hazards, assessment of risks and the implementation of necessary control measures.

To cope with the change of railway safety environment and to prevent the catastrophic accident, the railway safety management system was established through the legislation of railway safety rules. And to audit and evaluate the accomplishment of railway safety rules by the railway operators, the Integrated Railway Safety Audit System(IRSAS) has been conducting. This study find out the strategy to stabilize the IRSAS by applying Theory of Constraints(TOC) Thinking Process. For meeting the IRSAS's goal of effective levelling up of railway safety, the two necessary conditions, 1)the secure of substantial safety through the IRSAS and 2)the execution of efficient IRSAS, should be fulfilled. Estimated undesirable effects(UDEs) from the IRSAS were identified, and 3 of them were selected for creating the requisite conflict clouds. Entities from these conflict clouds were synthesized into a core conflict cloud that foamed the base of Current Reality Tree. The strategic direction for change extracted from the conflict cloud is the reinforcement of IRSAS preparation system including the level up of operator's self audit, the deepening of preliminary survey, the establishment of complementing system of audit check list and the build up of auditor's specialization. These injection were logically validated via a Future Reality Tree and expected to be confirmed by further progressing of IRSAS.

One of the main concerns of railway system is to secure safety. Nowadays digital technology has been rapidly applied to safety critical system. The digital system performs more varying and highly complex functions efficiently compared to the existing analog system because software can be flexibly designed and implemented. The flexible design makes it difficult to predict the software failures. For this reason, the safety criteria are suggested to secure the software safety for the field of railway system. Following them, the railway software have to be examined whether it is properly developed according to the safety criteria and certification process. Because the articles suggested in safety criteria are written in legal term, it is difficult to apply the criteria to develop railway software. This paper suggests and discusses a development and assessment procedure to solve these issues for railway software with more detail description.

Railway signal system is responsible for the safety operation of railway and performs vital functions as safe space control, route control and etc. These functions prevent collision accidents between trains and derailment accidents of trains. However, these accidents are occurred by some causes. It is necessary to analysis hazards, hazard frequency and risk contribution. And railway signal system must make practical application of the analysis results. This paper includes analysis results of railway accident data by FTA(Fault Tree Analysis) and hazards. Railway signal system must consider these hazards. This paper used the railway accident data of RSSB(Railway Safety & Standard Board) of UK. We will use the FTA result to set up a draft of safety criteria of railway signal system.

Risk-based railway safety management has been mandatory in Korea as by relevant laws and regulations enacted since the Railway Safety Act 2004. In particular, the Railway Vehicle Safety Guidance came into effect on Jan 1, 2008 specifies the details of methodology for hazard analysis, risk assessment and safety verification and validation. Fundamentals for success of the risk-based safety management are systematic hazard identification and risk assessment by use of reasonable risk assessment criteria, but the principle of risk-based safety management has not been applied in an effective way to introduction and maintenance of railway vehicle systems because definite risk assessment criteria have not been set down for each railway system or railway network. The purpose of this study is to suggest a risk matrix development principle for risk assessment of domestic urban metro vehicles by analyses of relevant rules and railway operating environment of Korea.

System safety management to secure complicated system safety such as railway and nuclear includes various factors. Those are prevention of accidents, faults management, human factor, men-machine relation, organization factor, safety culture, quality/quantity safety performance goal, and safety regulations. To manage them, it is required that database which is based on most analysis is established. Therefore system safety could be controlled. This research defines data required to safety management, and that is aimed at deriving plans in order to establish them as database. To accomplish that, safety information management of other systems such as aviation and marine is reviewed. Also, the present conditions of available data in the filed of domestic railway are analysed, and then it provides plans for. establishing database to build up advanced railway system safety information management systems.

Safety is important factor in railway system. Now most of the electric and electronic system which is applied in railway system is the embedded system which software is used. The constitution rate of software which is involved in railway system is gradually increasing. Most of the software which is used in railway system is implemented by the software developer. Thus the implemented code has different features according to the developer and this may cause the bad effect on the software's maintenance. International standard IEC 62279 requires an adoption the coding standard to developing the railway software. And it is plan to recommend complying with the coding standard in safety criteria for railway software which is noticed as the regulation of the Korean railway safety law. In this paper, we review the requirement of coding standards which is present in the software criteria for railway software and international standard. Also it investigates the coding standard which is in other safety related industry and presents the effective way to apply the software coding standard to domestic railway industry.

Using transportations like railway, aviations and roads has been increasing continuously. Traffic accidents have been increasing as well. To prevent or lessen these accidents become a big issue to solve. Therefore, more enforced safety levels are being required to meet. In railway field, continuous efforts of railway safety are being executed to prevent traffic accidents. In present, a railway accident has been decreasing since subway accident happened in Daegu Subway in 2003. However, safety levels in railway field have not yet achieved as much as in advanced countries. Basic concept for enforced safety level in railway system is to prevent or minimize accidents by managing systems like related facilities, management method, organization, education. This is the same concept to minimize error rate in six sigma theory. In this paper, we are to apply six sigma techniques used in manufacturing industry to railway safety and go through ways to make more efficient railway safety system.
