Abstract

The two Koreas agreed to pursue rail and road connections on September 19, 2018 in the Pyongyang Joint Declaration. In December 2018, they launched a joint investigation for the North Korean railway modernization project. The survey confirmed that the track condition is seriously aging so that it is impossible to operate, and the railway network is well connected to major cities. Therefore, it was reasonable to modernize the aging track of the existing railway network rather than construct a new railway network. This paper proposed the railway communication policy for the improvement of railway lines and the construction of the railway wireless network by analyzing the status of roadbeds and tracks in order to enhance interoperability for the inter-Korean railway connection and safety for preventing the railway accidents.

2018년 9월 19일 남북정상의 평양공동선언에서 남북한은 철도 및 도로연결을 추진하기로 합의하였고, 이에 따라 2018년 12월 북한철도 현대화 사업을 위한 남북한 공동조사를 착수하였다. 조사 결과 선로상태는 운행이 불가할 정도로 심각하게 노후화되어 있고, 철도망은 주요도시를 잘 연결하는 구조로 되어 있는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 새로운 철도망을 건설하기 보다는 기존 철도망의 노후화된 선로를 현대화하는 것이 타당하다고 판단되었다. 본 논문은 남북철도 연결에 대비한 상호운용성 및 철도사고 예방을 위한 안전성 강화를 위하여 노반과 궤도의 현황 분석을 통한 단계별 철도선로 개선 그리고 철도무선통신망 구축을 위한 철도통신분야 정책을 제안하였다.
