Abstract

Turnout is one of railroad track components. The turnout is used to change train routes to near other sections when keeping the train speed. There are many accidents in the section including the turnout. The number of accidents and errors is 363 for ten years in the section including the turnout and annual average is 36.3. To ensure safety of the turnout, it is necessary to install monitoring systems. By using the monitoring systems, it is able to accumulate related information, develop maintenance and take a step for accidents in advance. Hence, The number of accidents and errors is decreased in the section including the turnout. So, when new turnout is installed, it is needed to use monitoring systems. Therefore, combined turnout management system is needed in Korea. It is possible to perform efficient maintenance because real-time monitoring system by using sensors and data-base management system. In this paper, accidents in the section including domestic turnout are analyzed and foreign combined turnout management system is presented. Hence, articles for installing the combined turnout management system in Korea are proposed.
