Abstract : ‘Man-made Hazard’ refers to an accident type, such as driving violations, negligence, and neglect, that occurs in developing countries. Especially, accidents caused by human error, such as deviation or pile-up accidents, can possibly be prevented. The recent increase in the volume of railway traffic and improvement in train operation speed has led to a rise in the national awareness of public demand for railway safety. Therefore, the establishment of safety measures is urgently required. Railway employees have a responsibility to protect the lives and property of passengers in terms of the decisions they make. This necessitates an improvement of the system to enable railway employees to handle the potential risk of an accident occurring or an actual incident. However, existing systems cannot effectively utilize much of the information generated by safety system sensors and instrumentation devices. This study involved the development of a real-time integrated railway safety support system using operating data to assist engineers and controllers with decision making when faced with the risk of an accident or incident.
