Abstract

As a result of investment in railway safety since 2004, railway accidents have been reduced by half and we reached a high level of safety compared to other countries. But people are still worries about railway accident, and want safer railway. It is difficult to determine which level of safety must be achieved due to lack of comparative studies on railway safety among different countries and other transportation modes. In this study, a comparative study on railway accident statistics and various transportation modes is performed. The results of this research can be used for the determination of weak areas of railway safety and the level of safety to be achieved.

2004년 이후 철도안전에 대한 투자확대의 결과로 철도사고 발생건수 및 관련피해는 지속적으로 감소하여 2009년 이후에는 선진국 수준의 안전성을 유지하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 사고율 개선에도 철도안전에 대한 국민의 우려는 감소하지 않고 있으며, 추가적인 개선을 요구하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 철도안전의 현재 수준에 대한 정량적 평가를 통해 철도안전에 대한 목표설정, 안전대책마련 등의 정책 수립에 활용할 수 있도록 하였다. 철도사고에 대해 철도 사고율이 낮은 선진국 및 도로교통 사고율과 정량적인 비교연구를 수행하였다. 또한 사고 종류별 원인분석을 통해 현재 철도안전수준의 평가를 위한 기초자료를 마련하였다.
