Abstract

In order to monitor internal risk factors such as fire, terror, etc. on the subway station, the surveillance systems using CCTV and various kinds of sensors have been implemented and recently, introduction of surveillance systems using an advanced IT technology, sensor network technology is tried on several areas. Since 2007, Korean government has made an effort to develop the intelligent surveillance and monitoring system, which can monitor fire, intrusion, passenger congestion, health-state of structure, etc., by using wireless sensor network technology and intelligent video analytic technique. For that purpose, this study carried out field wireless communication environment test on Chungmuro Station of Seoul Metro on the basis of ZigBee that is considered as a representative wireless sensor network before field application of the intelligent integrated surveillance system being developed, arranged and analyzed and ZigBee based wireless communication environment test results on the platform and waiting room of Chungmuro Station on this paper. Results of wireless spectrum analysis on the platform and waiting room showed that there is no radio frequency overlapped with that of ZigBee based sensor network and no frequency interference with adjacent frequencies separated 10MHz or more. As results of wireless data transmission test using ZigBee showed that data transmission is influenced by multi-path fading effect from the number and flow rate of passengers on the platform or the waiting room rather than effects from entrance and exit of the train to/from the platform, it should be considered when implementing the intelligent integrated surveillance system on the station.

지하철 역사에 화재, 테러 등의 내 외부 위험요인을 감시하기 위하여 CCTV와 각종 센서를 이용한 감시시스템이 구축되어 왔으며, 최근 최신의 IT기술인 센서네트워크기술을 이용한 감시시스템기술 도입이 여러 분야에서 시도되고 있다. 2007년부터 정부 주도하에 지하철 역사의 경우에도 최신의 IT기술인 무선 센서네트워크기술 및 지능 형영상감시기술 등과 접목하여 화재, 제한지역 침입, 승객 혼잡도, 우범지역, 역사 건전성 등을 종합적으로 감시하는 도시철도지능형종합감시시스템 개발 및 구축이 추진 중에 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 개발 중인 도시철도 지능형 종합감시시스템의 현장 역사 적용에 앞서 무선센서네트워크의 대표라 할 수 있는 ZigBee기반의 현장 무선통신환경 시험을 서울지하철 충무로 역사에서 수행하였고, 본 논문에 충무로역사 내부 승강장 및 대합실에서의 ZigBee기반의 무선통신환경 시험결과를 정리, 분석하였다. 승강장 및 대합실의 무선 스펙트럼분석 결과 ZigBee기반의 센서네트워크의 주파수와 중첩되는 주파수는 없었으며 인접 주파수 또한 10MHz 이상 이격되어 주파수 간섭을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. ZigBee를 이용한 무선데이터 전송 시험 결과, 데이터 전송은 열차의 승강장 진출입시의 영향보다 승강장 혹은 대합실의 이용승객 수 및 유동량에 의한 멀티패스 페이딩(multi-path fading) 효과에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나, 역사에 지능형종합감시시스템 구축 시 이를 고려하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.
