<Establish Preemptive Disaster Management System>

To ensure safe railway environment against natural disasters such as earthquake, heat wave, and rainstorm, KR is operating a preemptive

disaster management system and expanding investments in IT-based disaster prevention system for rapid detection and sharing of abnormal

information. We have installed the remote monitoring system utilizing IoT* to detect abnormalities and the intelligent automatic detection

system to monitor points vulnerable to natural disasters. KR will also expand remote video detection devices to tightening real-time monitoring 

and install disaster broadcasting receiving system in all high-speed railway sections by 2022 to continue “ZERO Accidents from Natural Disaster.”

<Infrastructure for Fast Response to and Recovery of Disaster>

KR is enhancing disaster response systems and dedicated organization to secure golden time and minimize damages from disasters and accidents. We are establishing the LTE-R*-based video call system to ensure real-time information exchange without a communication interruption in emergency in train. Moreover, the video conference system was introduced,and workforce was added to the disaster control office in preparation for heat and cold wave situations. KR also enhances cooperation on disaster follow-up measures with 9 institutions including MOLIT, MOPAS, firehouses, local governments, and KORAIL and conducts people-participatory emergency drills, thereby enhancing disaster response capability.

<Improve Safety Performance of Railway Facilities in Preparation for Disaster and Accident>

In response to increasing earthquakes in Korea, KR is expanding the earthquake monitoring system, which was installed only in KTX lines, to the general railway lines in the earthquake regions including Pohang and Gyeongju. Moreover, we strengthened the seismic design standard 

by reflecting the unique characteristics of domestic ground and revised the railway design standard in December 2018 based on it. It preemptively inspected and diagnosed fire response systems at 14 multi-purpose private capital stations such as Seoul Station in the public-private cooperation. The safety diagnosis participated by citizens improved 733 cases andshared the results on the website to help to form the public confidence in the safety of railway facilities.
