Abstract

There are many economical and industrial as well as social demands enabling smart management of railway vehicle including parts management by introducing RFID system in railway vehicle. In this paper, overseas researches and developments which use cases of RFID were investigated and analyzed. In this process, cases of various industries adopting RFID technology as well as cases of railway part were investigated. RFID system is used mainly for railway vehicle position detection and identification of vehicles in the field of railway. Also there are cases of application on traceability management of railway vehicle parts. The system in which RFID technology can be applied to railway parts management and traceability management is necessary for smart management of domestic railway vehicle.

철도차량에 RFID 시스템을 도입함으로써 철도 부품관리 등을 포함한 철도차량의 스마트한 운영관리가 가능하도록 하는 것은 경제적, 산업적 뿐 아니라 사회적으로도 많은 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 해외의 RFID 연구 및 개발 활용사례를 조사 분석하였다. 철도 뿐 아니라 다양한 산업분야에 RFID 기술이 적용된 사례에 관해서도 조사하였다. 철도분야에서는 주로 차량위치 검지, 차량인식 등에 RFID 시스템이 사용된 경우가 거의 대부분이었고 부품의 단순이력 관리 등에 응용한 사례도 있었다. 본 연구를 통해, 세계적으로 이미 여러 산업분야에서 RFID 기술이 활용되고 있고 철도분야에서도 여러 국가에서 RFID 기술을 활용한 운영이 활성화되어 있으나 이러한 기술 활용은 주로 차량운행과 관련된 분야에 국한되어 있고 철도부품의 유지보수 등의 분야에서는 RFID 기술개발 및 활용이 미흡하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 국내의 철도차량의 스마트한 운영관리를 위해서는 RFID 기술을 철도부품의 유지보수 및 이력관리에 적용할 수 있는 시스템이 반드시 필요하다.
