Abstract

철도운송은 오랜 기간 동안 도로운송, 해상운송, 항공운송보다 친환경 운송수단으로 인식되어 왔다. 하지만 최근 디젤유를 사용하는 점화기관에서 배출되는 오염물질이 대기오염의 주범으로 밝혀지면서 사회적 문제로 인식되고 있으며 녹색성장을 위한 정부 정책으로 철도분야도 온실가스 배출의 감축 의무를 피할 수 없을 것으로 전망되고 있다. 또한, 지속적인 고유가는 운영비를 상승시켜 운영기관에 큰 부담이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 온실가스 배출 감소와 유류비 절감을 위해 운영기관 입장에서 화물열차의 경제속도를 결정하기 위한 방법론을 제안한다. 경제속도를 추정하기 위해 유류비, 화물열차의 시간가치, 탄소세를 고려하여 비용 함수를 추정하였다. 비용 함수를 바탕으로 화물열차의 경제속도를 도출하기 위한 식을 제안하고 유류비, 화물열차의 시간가치, 탄소세의 변화가 속도에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 민감도 분석을 하였다. Rail transport has been considered an environmental-friendly transport mode compared with other transport modes such as ship, truck, and aircraft. However, air pollutions emitted by diesel locomotives have emerged as social issues. In addition, the railway industry may not be able to avoid a duty of alleviating greenhouse gases emission owing to the Korean government policies for green growth which is an economic paradigm that simultaneously pursues growth and environmental improvement. Moreover, rising oil prices has burdened a train operating company. The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology of determining an economical speed of diesel freight locomotive from the viewpoint of the train operating company. In the methodology, we first define an operational cost function based on various cost factors and then suggest formula to calculate an economical speed of diesel freight locomotive. To estimate the influence of cost factors such as diesel price, carbon taxes, and time costs on the speed of diesel freight locomotive, sensitivity analysis was conducted.
