The load of a maglev train, which is being considered a future transportation, is uniformly loaded on a levitated surface of a rail unlike a typical train because the maglev train is magnetically levitated and propelled. In addition, the driving performance is superior since the maglev train doesn't directly contact the railway. A integrated track system, to which a sleeper is installed toward a longitudinal direction instead of a perpendicular direction, is suggested, considering this loading characteristic. The longitudinal sleeper of this system is expected to contribute to stiffness increase of a bridge and weight-reduction of a girder. In this study, the structural characteristics of proposed and typical systems have been numerically compared and analyzed. In addition, the improvement of the integrated system has been proposed.

The load of a magnetic railway is uniformly loaded on a levitated surface of the rail. So it is advantageous for noise and vibration compared to the typical railway systems. But for ensuring driving stability and ride-quality, regulation about the gap of rail is stricter than the typical railway. In this study, the impact of bracket, which can control the gap of rail at the integrated track system, have numerically been performed. Also, the effect of interval of the bracket installed in the longitudinal direction of the integrated track system, which consist of girder, bracket, sub rail and levitated rail, have been compared and analyzed. Through this, applicability of the bracket structure for integrated track system have been identified.

In this study, a real-scale specimen of Steel-Confined Prestressed Concrete (SCP) composite girder was tested in a three points bending. Furthermore, vibration tests were performed to verify the dynamic stability of the SCP composite girder for railway bridges. The results of the experimental test were similar to stable rigidity behavior until the static actuator limit load (6300 kN). That is, the SCP composite girder showed a stable rigidity behavior in the ultimate load (3,174 kN) as well as the service load (1,076 kN). Finally, the possibility of resonance of the SCP composite girder has been found to be low.

Universal Design involves designing products and spaces so that they can be used by the widest range of people possible. Universal Design evolved from Accessible Design, a design process that addresses the needs of people with disabilities. This paper introduces the universal design concept through analysis of causes of railway accident within the urban railway station. Railway accident analysis was performed by the internal facilities. We analyzed the standard of accident type, accident cause and accident subject such as elevator, escalator, stairs etc.

IR camera has been used widely for the temperature measurement and fault detection of the moving bodies and rotating bodies. The high-speed performance of the IR camera and a reliable thermal analysis method are required for the condition monitoring of the railway vehicle running at high speed. The effective fault detection method using a thermal image analysis could make a real time monitoring of the high speed train possible. Therefore the investigation of the performance of the thermal image analysis method was performed to find the effective thermal image data analysis method. The results suggested that the comparison of the characteristics of the temperatures obtained at different conditions and a continuous temperature subtraction method could be used as a useful analysis method for detecting abnormal temperature condition and histogram equalization could also help to enhance the fault detectability by increasing the contrast of the thermal image

This study highlights the theme of human error of train drivers, conducting empirical analysis on the relationship between organizational culture, safety climates, safety behavior, and accident. The empirical test results based on questionnaires received from 223 train drivers working at A subway firm indicated that relationship conflict and psychological reward as the elements of organizational culture variables showed a significant positive effect on CEO philosophy, communication, and boss's leadership. And only boss's leadership showed a positive influence on safety behavior, which in turn showed a significant negative relationship with accidents.

Modern systems can be characterized by ever-increasing complexity of both the functionality and system scale. Thus, due to the complexity the chances of accidents resulting from systems failure can then be growing. Even worse is that those accidents could result in disastrous damage to the human being and properties as well. Therefore, the need for the developed systems to be assured with systems safety is apparent in a variety of industries such as rail, automobiles, airplanes, ships, oil refinery, chemical production plants, and so on. To this end, in the industry an appropriate safety standard has been published for its own safety-assured products. One of the core activities included in the most safety standards is hazard analysis. A conventional approach to hazard analysis seems to depend upon the scenarios derived from the ones used previously in similar systems or based on former experience. The objective of this paper is to study an improved process for scenario-based hazard analysis. To achieve the goal, the top-level safety requirements have first been reflected in the scenarios. By analyzing and using them, the result has then lead to the development of safety-assured systems. The method of modeling and simulation has been adopted in the generation and verification of scenarios to check whether the safety requirements are reflected properly in the scenarios. Application of the study result in the case of rail safety assurance has also been discussed.

Korean societal concern for the train accidents is fast and widely increasing with an ever-increasing demand and use for KTX. Most of these train accidents are inclined to be caused by human error. Experts used to attribute the causes of human error to the defects in various aspects such as technology, organizational system, practices, corporate culture, and/or human resource itself. Among the diverse causes of human error, an important one, even though it was rarely focused, may be the issue of impact of rule or procedure change on human error. Giving attention to the implicit importance of this issue, this study intends to highlight the theme of frequent procedure change in railway driving manual as a critical factor of human error. To attain this purpose mentioned above, dual methodologies were adopted. One is to qualitatively analyze the real cases of procedure change in relevant manuals followed by the incident case(passing the station scheduled to stop) happened lately. Another is to quantitatively perform statistical analysis based on questionnaires received from 224 train drivers. Results show that frequent changes in internal affairs procedure is or may be an important factor causing stress and human error from train drivers.

For this, in order to maintain correlation between the accident actually occurred after the opening of high-speed railroad and experience of accident that did not happened, survey on respondent was analyzed by conducting survey on KTX captain who is working in driving work of high-speed railroad, and instruction management team manager who manages KTX captain and captain. This thesis classified the factors by human factor, job factor, environment factor, organization factor, and established human error management model by comparing and analyzing how each factors have spatial interrelations with a railroad accident. The purpose of this study is to contribute to make safe railroad, and reliable railroad by preventing human error accident by minimizing human error of high-speed railroad drivers, and improving driving workers to cope accurately and fast with irregularities through various institutional improvement, improvement of driving facilities, improvement of operating room environment, and improvement of education system.

본 연구는 영등포역을 통과한 고속열차가 ‘왜 통과를 했을까?’ 에 의문을 갖고 연구 를 하게 되었다. 승객의 증대에 따라 열차의 운행횟수가 증가할수록 장애나 사고에의 노출 또한 증대된다는 것은 어쩌면 당연한 것이라 하겠다. 열차가 차량기지에서 정비를 마치고 KTX기장(기관사)에게 인계되면 운행이 개시되 는데 열차가 운행하기 위해서는 약 9~10개의 사규를 적용받게 된다. 특히 운전과 관계 된 사규는 열차안전운행에 매우 중요한 필수적인 내용을 포함하고 있기 때문에 KTX 기장(기관사)은 이를 장기간에 걸쳐 암기하게 되는데, 응급을 요하는 상황이 발생할 경우 몇 년간 숙달된 예전의 사규와 새로이 변경된 사규의 혼동으로 인해 기장(기관 사)은 상당한 부담감을 느끼게 되며 적절한 사고조치를 취해야 하는 상황에서 많은 기 장(기관사)들이 심적 스트레스 상황에 노출되어 있다. 그 동안 장애나 사고가 발생하 면 그에 대한 대처는 제도나 시스템 개선보다는 인적보완으로 이루어지는 경향이 있 었다. 그렇기에 사규의 개정이 휴먼에러의 유발에 기여하는 측면은 없는지, 또한 휴먼 에러를 유발시킨다면 어떤 인과관계가 있는지를 발견해 사전에 휴먼에러를 저감시킨 다는 것은 매우 중요한 국면이다. 제357열차의 영등포역 통과사례를 토대로 제도적, 인간적, 시스템적 및 규정개정의 문제 등을 분석하여 각 측면의 문제점을 보완하고 개선함으로써 휴먼에러의 발생을 최소화하고 열차의 안전운행을 제고에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Abstract In Korean society, the theme of human errors in railway has been emerging as a critical issue. As far as human error studies are concerned, main trend has been inclined to be led by industrial engineering and systems science. Apart from those trends, this study empirically highlighted the relationship between depression, which has been a frequent research subject in the medical science and psychology, and accidents, with setting depression as an exogenous variable and cognitive failure and mistake as endogenous variables, respectively. Results of hypotheses test for the 204 respondents showed that driver's depression has a significant effect on accidents mediated by cognitive failure and mistake. This findings suggest the need for exploring the diverse latent factors causing human errors and for understanding the complex cognitive process as well as for establishing integrative countermeasures to mitigate human errors.

Because the damages of corrosion resulting from the chloride ion are very serious, many research studies have been performed to measure the penetration depth of the chloride ion. However, there is a problem with data selection obtained from collection during experiments. In this study, it appears that the collected data are not conformed to a normal distribution. The result of this study will play a very important role, as a first step for the development and construction of a forecasting system to help determine a reliable service lifetime of marine structures.

Recent trends in rail industry can be characterized by the multifunctionality and very high-speed modes of operations. In particular, the adoption of the unmaned or operatorless operations has been getting increased attention in which case ensuring systems safety is crucial. On the other hand, according to the result of analyzing rail accidents, the human/operator errors have turned out to be one of the key causes of the accidents. Therefore, the effort of improving the work environment of locomotive cabs is quite necessary in order to decrease the accidents. The objective of this paper is studying on how to incorporate the factors related to the train operators in the design of the locomotive cabs and also on how to evaluate the design results obtained, which is subsequently reflected in the generation of the test and evaluation procedure. The approach taken is based on systems engineering, yielding the procedure document as a result. The results obtained in the paper can be useful in confirming the design of locomotive cabs utilizing the domestic human/operator measure. Also, the way of achieving the objectives can be utilized to cover the expanded rail systems development with appropriate design activities added.
