Abstract

On February 17 2020, the fire accident of the Samae 2 tunnel toward Wanju on the Suncheon Wanju Line resulted in 48 casualties including 5 deaths and 43 injuries. In addition, 14 vehicles were burned down (33 vehicles damaged), resulting in enormous social and economic damage. In this paper, we will examine the status of fire accidents in Samae 2 tunnel in terms of transport accidents of dangerous substances, and consider the role of the government and road management agencies in reducing transport accidents of dangerous substances on roads. When the characteristic information such as the traffic volume, traffic volume of hazardous materials, and the status of hazardous materials accidents in the section between North Namwon and Osu of the Suncheon Wanju Line where the Samae 2 tunnel accident occurred, the traffic volume, the traffic volume of the hazardous materials, and the accidents of the hazardous materials were found to be much lower than average . The lesson to be learned from the fire accident at the Samae 2 tunnel is that dangerous material accidents do not occur frequently, but once they occur, large-scale human damage will occur. Therefore, to prevent and respond to road hazardous material transport accidents, strategies for transporting hazardous substances on the road, such as vehicle operation management, facility management, and traffic management, are needed. In particular, there are currently no national statistics on the traffic volume of dangerous substances on the road, so a national survey on the transport status of dangerous substances must be preceded. In addition, as the number of accidents in transporting dangerous substances transported by general cargo trucks is on the rise, a policy that mandates a completely closed loader should be preceded in the case of general cargo trucks transporting dangerous substances.
