The development of open source hardware (OSH) has led to the popularization of hardware fabrication. It opens the way for anyone to easily implement the hardware of a device they want to make. Its possibility has been recognized in many fields. We have paid attention to its potential and tried to find out the role of OSH in the field of urban railway and utilize it. Following the efforts, OSH was used to improve the control system of the ventilation equipment installed in the substations of Busan Urban Rail Line 4. As a result, a satisfactory facility operation environment was realized. Therefore, this study aims to propose a new methodology of facility operation by showing a actual case of applying OSH to urban railway facilities, and to enhance the work capacity and technical power of workers by diversifying technical solutions.
