  • As the European Union has strengthened and computerized signalling systems have been widely used, the European common standards for the safety of railway signalling systems such as EN 50126, EN 50128, ENV 50129, EN 50159 began to be published from 1996 in CENELEC. At that time, a safety guideline, 'Safety Guidelines for Computerized Train Control and Protection Systems' was published in Japan. The Korean National Railroad also published a safety recommendation for the train control systems with taking into account the Korean railway conditions. Now the preparations for IEC/TC9 Standards are well underway and these standards correspond to CENELEC Standards referred above. These movements and activities are to cope with many technical and operational changes and to reflect the globalization trend of railway sectors along with the computerization of signalling devices. In this connection, this paper studies the globaliztion trend in the safety standards for railway signalling systems and discusses the counterplans for the trend.

  • In this paper, there is the case study which assesses the systems engineering capability maturity of the safety organization that performs the Railway Safety project using systems engineering method. To In ore effective and efficient a research and development to railway safety domain, a new research and development method can be progressively needed such as systems engineering. To assess quantitatively research of systems engineering efforts in the railway safety project, SECM(EIA/IS 731) Standard is utilized in the paper. It is by questionnaire that the capability maturity assessment is executed wit h the safety organization and staffs who performs the systems engineering activities; requirement analysis and management, interface control management. product verification and validation, and so on. As a result, the systems engineering capability level of the safety organization rises from 0 level at the initial project to 2 level after two years and all staffs give an affirmative answer about the importance and effectiveness of the systems engineering approach.

  • This paper presents the Case of Systems Engineering Application for the Railway Total-Safety Project. Key points to consider for project are: 1) Establish the SE Based-Project organization system, 2) Define the SE Activities, 3) Manage technically the SE Based-Project, etc. They were of much help that the Railway Total-Safety Project which were efficiently implemented and managed. As I take it, the Systems Engineering is very reasonable approach for the systematical and technical conduct of a project.

  • Currently, railway wireless communication systems adopt several communication schemes depending on the specific region. To increase data rate and achieve high fidelity in railway wireless communication systems, LTE-R scheme has been developed. In this paper, We introduce interoperability technology which converges several railway communication systems including LTE-R. First, we consider two interoperability methods and their standardization. Some empirical test results of interoperability technology are also introduced. It is expected to provide seamless and statable railway communication environments by applying interoperability technologies to railway wireless communication systems.

  • Systems engineering requirement verification model developmetn for High Speed Railway systems in progress is a national large system development program that is not only large-size and complex but also multi-disciplinary in nature. For the High Speed Railway TEP development, verification requirements that could verify system function, performance, and constraint, should be derived from SSS(system Segment specification). Hereafter, this could be referred to as verification requirements. System engineering process establishes traceability between verification requirements and system requirements. These tasks could be accomplished by the schema. using computer-aided Systems Engineering tool(CORE), High Speed Railway program can become a database and other system related to High Speed Railway program will be developed effectively and efficiently.
