Abstract

This paper will introduce the safety authorization system for light rail transit(LRT) through investigating safety certification & safety authorization in foreign country and aviation field in Korea. The safety authorization system proposed by the government these day was also investigated. Korea Transportation Safety Authority(KOTSA) have conducted safety validation process on Busan-Gimhae LRT before its revenue service during three months since Jan. of 2011. We describe the overview of these validation activities, results and safety certification issued. Learning from this process, we propose the standardized safety validation process including checklists which can be applied to common unmanned light rail system. This study will be a basis of railway safety authorization for LRT and will be continually improve its application ability by the future study.
