Abstract

On April 27 2018, North-South Korea agreed to establish the practical methods for connecting the railway in the inter-Korean summit talks. This is often reported that the train will be operated directly between Busan and Europe. However, there are many problems for the railway to directly connect between Busan and Europe. Because a train from Busan to Europe should pass through North Korea, China or Russia, and each national railway systems are different. Thus, South Korean railway has to study thoroughly an interoperability before railways directly operates between a nation and another. The standards and technical harmony for direct connection with a different railway network is very important, because a rail transport is a total network system. This paper surveyed a European railway interoperability and studied on the basic direct operation for the North-South Korean railway systems.

2018년 4월 27일 역사적인 남북 정상의 판문점 선언을 통해 남과 북은 철도연결을 위한 실질적인 대책들을 마련해 나가기로 합의하였다. 상상이 현실이 되어 당장이라도 부산-유럽 간의 열차가 운행될 것처럼 연일 보도하고 있지만 남한에서 출발한 열차가 북한 철도로 직결 운행하고 대륙철도로 국경을 통과하는 운영노선은 지금까지 한국철도가 취급해보지 못한 미지의 영역으로 본격적인 운행을 위해 상당한 부분을 면밀히 검토해야 한다. 또한 철도교통은 타 교통수단과 달리 종합적인 네트워크 시스템으로 서로 다른 철도망의 직결운행을 위한 표준화와 기술적 조화가 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 남북철도 연결대비 직결운행을 위해 철도 상호운용성에서 주도적인 역할을 하고 있는 유럽사례를 살펴보고, 이를 통하여 남북철도 직결운행을 위한 실질적인 상호운용성 확보에 대하여 고찰하였다.
