Abstract

Since 1971, the aptitude test for domestic train drivers has long been maintained without any overall change. With the revision of the Railroad Safety Act in 2006. the aptitude test was changed from the type of written and skill test into the type of question-and-answer and reaction test. However, the main structure of the test is being maintained unchanged. In this paper, we focus our attention on the improvement of the present aptitude test. We surveyed on two groups, one is the railroad expert group and another is train driver's group, questioning about the importance of the domestic and foreign aptitude test items. Based on the analysis, we suggest desirable aptitude test system for the railroad safety.

우리나라 기관사 적성검사제도는 1971년부터 유지되어 왔고 2006년 철도안전법으로 일부 개정되었으나 큰 틀은 변하지 않았다. 본 논문은 현행 우리나라 철도 기관사 적성검사 세부항목에 대해 안전과 관련된 중요도를 분석하여 향후 적성검사제도의 개선에 도움이 되고자 하는 것이 목적이다.
