Abstract

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.

정거장 또는 차량기지 구내에서 이루어지는 입환은 국내 관련 법규에서 정의, 구분 및 방법이 명확하게 제시되어 있지 않다. 이로 인하여 입환시 충돌사고가 철도차량운전사고 중 가장 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 따라서 입환 운전시 충돌사고를 줄이면서 효율적인 운영을 위해서는 체계적인 철도차량 안전운전 원칙의 제시가 필요하다. 입환시 충돌사고를 줄이기 위한 연구의 일환으로서, 본 연구에서는 열차운전방식과 입환의 특징을 비교하고, 열차안전운전원칙에 따른 구내운전 안전원칙을 제시하였다. 새로 제안 된 접근 방법은 안전과 효율성의 개선 분석 및 현장 응용 프로그램에서 확인하였다.
