궤도 결함에 기인한 국외의 철도사고 분석 = Analysis of Railroad Accidents due to Track Defects in Foreign Countries

국문 초록 (Abstract)

철도시스템은 전세계적으로 가장 안전한 교통수단으로 인식되고 있지만, 사고는 계속 발생되고 있다. 많은 하위부분으로 구성되어 있는 철도시스템의 특성상 사고위험을 완전히 방지하기는 어렵다. 철도사고는 다양한 원인이 복합적으로 작용하여 하나의 사건으로 표출되기 때문에 사고의 근원적 예방을 위해 사고사례의 사고모드를 분석하고, 사고모드에 영향을 미치는 인자들의 상관관계를 역 추적하는 시스템적인 접근은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 미국, 영국, 캐나다, 오스트레일리아의 국외사고사례분석을 수행하며 주요 위험인자를 도출하였다.

The railway system is worldwide recognized as a safe mean of transportation. However, railroad accidents and incidents continue to occur. Due to the nature of the railway system that consist of many mechanical parties, it is apparently difficult to eliminate probability of accidents and incidents completely. Therefore, through the analysis of railroad accidents and incidents, it is very important to trace the various factors affecting the accidents and incidents. In this study, we performed the analysis of rail-road accidents due to track defects in foreign countries; United States of America, England, Canada, Australia. As a result of its investigation of the accidents, major risk factors are proposed in this study.
