요약

최근 들어 철도차량 안전과 관련하여 국내에서 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 연구는 여객을 수송하는 일반 객차, 전동차, 고속열차 등을 중심으로 행해지고 있으며, 화물 특히 위험물 수송 화물차량에 대한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 위험물질을 수송하는 탱크차의 안전기준을 개발하기 위하여 유류를 중심으로 국내외 관련된 안전기준을 비교 분석하여 국내 위험물 수송 탱크차 안전기준 개발의 기초를 마련하고자 한다.

Abstract

Recently, there are so many studies related safety of railway vehicle. But these studies are focused on the passenger car, metro system and high speed train. However, the leakage of hazardous materials may contaminate the environment and cause terrible damage to the ecology, even the human and properties. And so, Safety and security have been already established in many countries, currently they are investing lots of money on the development of technology to prevent accidents. Therefore it is necessary to make a systematic plan and develop safety specifications. In this study, we compared between domestic and international general oil tank car safety regulations for the hazardous materials, and prepare the basic for the making of systematic safety plans and safety regulations for the transport of hazardous materials by tank car.
