Modeling and Assessing of Train-Person Collision Accidents on the National Railway of South Korea

초록

This paper investigates analytically accidents in the frequency and number of injured/fatal persons in train-person collision accidents on the national railway of South Korea. These accidents take more than 40% of railway accidents occurred in South Korea and 80% of injured persons. Consequently, research on these accident scenarios that more thoroughly takes into consideration and models actual circumstances of these accidents in railway system is necessary. In this research, accident scenarios are developed using the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method to analyze systematically and evaluate quantitatively fatality accident scenarios for passengers, railway staffs and MOP (Member of public). In this study, the QFD method provides a formal and systematic schema to devise accident scenarios while maintaining the objective.
