Abstract

Korean societal concern for the train accidents is fast and widely increasing with an ever-increasing demandand use for KTX. Most of these train accidents are inclined to be caused by human error. Experts used toattribute the causes of human error to the defects in various aspects such as technology, organizational system,practices, corporate culture, and/or human resource itself.Among the diverse causes of human error, an important one, even though it was rarely focused, may be theissue of impact of rule or procedure change on human error. Giving attention to the implicit importance of thisissue, this study intends to highlight the theme of frequent procedure change in railway driving manual as acritical factor of human error.To attain this purpose mentioned above, dual methodologies were adopted. One is to qualitatively analyze thereal cases of procedure change in relevant manuals followed by the incident case(passing the station scheduledto stop) happened lately. Another is to quantitatively perform statistical analysis based on questionnairesreceived from 224 train drivers.Results show that frequent changes in internal affairs procedure is or may be an important factor causingstress and human error from train drivers.
