Safety requirements of subway signaling system in operating stage were analysed, the potential risks of evaluating and controlling the signal system based on HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Analysis) and ALARP (as Low as Reasonably Practicable) affecting vehicle safety were proposed at the design stage. HAZOP was used to analyze the system risk qualitatively and locate the risk origin which could lead to a fatal failure, while ALARP risk matrix and experience grading were studied to ensure the risk level involved quantitatively. The ATC (on board) sub-system, as a typical example of signaling, the whole process of signaling system risk assessment based on HAZOP and ALARP was expounded in detail,and the relevant measures of risk control were given.
