For train service, safety and reliability is an inevitable performance. Specially, turn-out system of the railway for safety because of actual part. Hence the management is strictly executed over turn-out systems of the railway. Also number of turn-out system need to monitoring systems. In this paper, the data multi-acquisition system for monitoring it is necessary to reduce the cost from the expensive characteristics of multi-monitoring system according to the importance of each data because this system is based on communication of one to several units. We designed the data multi-acquisition system using numbers of micro-controller and the experiment was executed to the actual turn-out system.

The live-line works are very dangerous because of direct contacts with the distribution line or neighboring contacts. So the purpose of this study is to identify the risk factor by accident occurrence form and accident case analysis, and to suggest the quantified risk index by risk occurrence frequency and risk strength analysis. And the risk index assessment is researched by accident cases analysis on work type. Accident cases of transmission distribution line are researched based on data of the Ministry of Employment and Labor in the last ten-year period (2000~2009). In results of this paper, high risk isn't always a priority of safety measures. Risk occurrence frequency and risk strength have to be considered according to detail work types, work methods and conditions of field work. And safety management measures must be planned according to risk occurrence frequency and risk strength.

Recently the railway safety is very important issue in Korea because there are lots of changes like the separation of operation and facility of national rail network, the inauguration of high speed train and Daegu subway fire accident. Railway safety management system is based on risk assessment of rolling stocks, electrical system, signaling, operation & maintenance and human element. With this process, railway risk will be reduced as low as reasonably acceptable level. Through risk assessment on accident data, this study predicted the current risk level of railway electrical system and presented the proper safety ensuring measures.

When a fire breaks out, it is difficult to find out the causes of the fire, because combustible things around fire scene are usually burnt away. Among many causes of fires are electronic wires, this thesis deal with the destroyed sheath of electronic wires caused by fire. It was studied with the use of measurement devices focusing on the distinctions of wires and conductors. This study especially emphasized the process of deterioration, burning pattern, and composition of electronic wire conductor. It also has a phenomenological approach to the distinctive cause of fire by some partial force. The fire prevention methods have been suggested through the analysing results of fire patterns. This study is expected to be a useful material for analyzing various electrical fires.

In this paper, we proposed a system to raise gas safety management by using the wireless communication module and intelligent gas safety appliances. Our designed systems configure a micom-gas meter, an automatic extinguisher, sensors, and a wallpad. A micom-gas-meter monitors gas flow, gas pressure, and earthquake. An automatic fire extinguisher checks gas(combustible) leaks and temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ and $130^{\circ}C$. Sensors measure smoke and CO gas. In our novel system, a micom-gas meter cut off inner valve with warnings, an automatic fire extinguisher cut off middle valve and spray extinguishing materials, and sensors generate signals for smoke and CO when occurring gas risk. Gas safety appliances and sensors takes safety measures, and transmit those signal to a wallpad. The wallpad again transmit signal like events to a control server. Users can connect web pages for gas safety through B-ISDN and control and manage them. We hereby devised scenarios for gas safety and risk management, and demonstrated their effectiveness through experiments.

This study aimed to develop an advanced anomaly-detection system tailored for solar power distribution panels using thermal imaging cameras to ensure operational stability. It addresses the imperative shift toward digitalized safety management in electrical facilities, transcending the limitations of conventional empirical methodologies. Our proposed system leverages a faster R-CNN-based artificial intelligence model optimized through meticulous hyperparameter tuning to efficiently detect anomalies in distribution panels. Through comprehensive experimentation, we validated the efficacy of the system in accurately identifying anomalies, thereby propelling safety protocols forward during the fourth industrial revolution. This study signifies a significant stride toward fortifying the integrity and resilience of solar power distribution systems, which is pivotal for adapting to emerging technological paradigms and evolving safety standards in the energy sector. These findings offer valuable insights for enhancing the reliability and efficiency of safety management practices and fostering a safer and more sustainable energy landscape.

To meet the growing needs from a variety of stakeholders, the development of modern systems is getting more complex and thus, the systems failure in the actual operations can potentially become more serious. This is why several international or military standards on systems safety have been published. In spite of the importance of meeting those standards such as IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 in the systems development, the associated practical methods seem deficient since those standards do not provide them. The objective of this paper is to present a method to identify potential hazards in fulfilling the requirements of the safety standards. In particular, the approach taken here is based on applying the functional analysis that covers several levels of the system under development. Note, however, that in the most of the conventional methods for hazards identification, the analysis has been focused on the failure at or underneath the component level of the system. The hazards identification method in this paper would cover the level up to the system by utilizing the functions-oriented approach. The case study of the safety enhancement for locomotive cabs is also discussed.
