Establishment of Railway Safety Management System Using Systems Engineering Management Plan

In this paper, the processes which are currently under development in South Korea, concerning railway safety management system are introduced. Railway safety management system in South Korea is briefly presented, making particular attentions to Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP). To make huge national R&D projects successful, systematic management process is essential. In this respect, detailed applying SEMP on railway safety management system of South Korea is discussed including Systems Engineering process and Verification and Validation procedures. Furthermore, a computer-aided systems engineering tool (Cradle) is used in order to make the management process more easily controllable.
