Electrical Railroads provide electric power, which can operate vehicles, via feeder wires. And the supplied current returns to the transformer substation through lines and ground net. The used load current depending on the operation of rail vehicles in the electric railway sections returns to the substation through a track which is a return circuit. The load current contains harmonics because of the power conversion equipment used in rolling stocks and such harmonic currents should not affect train control system. In this paper we present the test result in order to verify that the harmonics produced by the operation of rail vehicles in the newly built electric railway sections can affect interlocking systems. The test in question was performed in a linking section that trackside equipment under railway operating conditions and interlocking are linked in order to identify whether or not the interlocking fitted in a signal machine room can be affected by harmonics according to railway operation.

Railway interlocking systems which are safety-critical systems are rapidly changed from relay-based systems to computer-based systems which have high flexible. Computer-based interlocking systems (CBI) are consisted of hardware and software in which system safeties arise one of important problems. The interlocking software of the CBI influences directly to the system safeties. "z" notation is one of formal methods have been used for system software specification to secure system safety. In this paper, the specification of interlocking logics for CBI systems is realized using "z" notation and verifies it with Z/EVES.

An interlocking equipment of railway signalling systems should have very high functional safety and reliability properties because of its vital railway protection functionality. In order to achieve the required safety and reliability level, an engineer, in general, designs and implements the interlocking equipment to operate under RTOS(Realtime Operating System) environment, and the control hardware architecture redundant to cope with the random failures of system or subsystem. In such an architecture, it's very difficult to implement the interlocking equipment to communicate with various interface systems including the signal operator's terminal. In this paper, we propose a dual ethernet network topology and dual packet seamless transfer protocol algorithm for railway signaling system such as the interlocking equipment. We verify in this paper that the proposed DPST protocol algorithm has the evidence of its robust properties against the random hardware faults and communication errors. The proposed communication structure and algorithm is implemented in the electronic interlocking equipment for the private railway system of Hyundai Steel Company and its performance and properties are validated on the guideline of European Railway Standard EN50159.

멀티미디어 서비스 제공을 위해 Havi, Jini, LonWorks, UPnP, SLP 등 여러 미들웨어들이 현존하고 있음에도 불구하고, 홈네트워크가 계속 진화함에 따라 다양한 정보가전들에 대해 특화된 새로운 미들웨어들이 계속해서 등장할 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문은 홈네트워크 상에서 이질적인 미들웨어 간의 상호 연동을 위한 통합 구조 방식에 대해 고찰하고, 효율적인 멀티미디어 서비스 지원을 위하여 기존 방식과는 달리 이질적인 미들웨어를 통합하는 표준 메소드 기반의 통합 구조를 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 HOMI 구조 (HOmenetwork Middleware for Interoperability)는 이기종 미들웨어간의 연동을 위해 표준 메소드를 사용하여 이기종 장치들이 서비스를 인식하고 사용할 수 있는 인터페이스를 제공한다. HOMI는 이러한 인터페이스를 통하여 기존의 통합 미들웨어 구조와는 다르게 표준 메소드를 사용하여 장치들간의 연동을 가능하게 함으로써 홈네트워크를 위한 이기종 가전들간 연동의 효율성과 편리성을 향상시켰다. HOMI는 댁내에 존재하는 멀티미디어 데이터 관리를 위하여 통합 멀티미디어 데이터관리 매니저를 두고, 장치들간에 연동이 가능하도록 함으로써 분산되어 있는 멀티미디어 데이터와 서비스를 언제 어디서든지 서비스 받을 수 있도록 지원한다. 마지막으로 HOMI는 통합 미들웨어를 위한 중앙 집중형 구조에서 멀티미디어 데이터 전송에 의한 부하 문제를 Agent들을 여러 장치에 분산할 수 있도록 함으로써 해결하였다.

For trains to run safely and quickly, the train should always follow the preceding train at a proper spacing. For this purpose, a certain distance between the stations is set for each block section. For the safe operation of trains in one block section, only one train service for an automatic block system is needed. The existing block system is composed an ABS, which is a linked track circuit and line sideway system through the interlocking system. The interlocking system is being replaced with a domestic electronic interlocking system. On the other hand, the block system still uses the relay format of an analog system, and is independently installed of the line sideway systems. Therefore, the existing block system has many problems in terms of construction and maintenance. In addition, the existing domestic line is used for ABS and LEU , which is installed separately, despite the train being controlled by the information of the same signal at the same location. This is not efficient in terms of each product price and the maintenance costs. This paper introduces an integrated electronic block system and the field test results. The field test was carried out through a periodic inspection performed eight times from January to late August.

최근 사물인터넷(IoT, Internet of Things)관련 기술의 발전 및 서비스 산업의 급속한 발전으로 센서 장치에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 센서 장치는 사물인터넷 플랫폼과의 연동을 위한 통신 인터페이스를 필수로 지원하여야 하며, 그 외에 다양한 센서들의 연동 인터페이스와 소비 전력을 모두 고려하여 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어의 설계가 이루어져야 한다. 이와 같이 센서 장치는 베터리 소비를 최적화하여 모든 기능이 구현되어야 하므로 기능상의 제약이 많이 따른다. 시간 동기화를 위해 사물인터넷 플랫폼에서 송신하는 동기 메시지를 수신하기 위해 슬립모드를 지원하는 경우 센서 장치가 항상 깨어 있어야하므로 저전력으로 동작 할 수 없는 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 데이터를 센싱하는 주기에 맞춰 시간 동기화를 진행하는 프로토콜 및 지연 시간 계산 방안을 제시하고 이에 따른 기존 프로토콜들과 비교하여 경량화한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 향후 시간 동기화 프로토콜의 호환을 위해 CoAP 규격과 연동 될 수 있는 연구가 필요하다.

Described in this paper is the software to design of a railway interlocking table, which describes the functional specifications of an interlocking device. Interlocking tables has been designed mainly based on personal expertise among signal engineers. However, this expertise needs to be analyzed with technical uniformity and integrated in an organized system. The proposed software is amount to the signal engineer's expertise, yet a generalization of interlocking reasoning. The algorithm is based on the train route setting principle, and is applicable in solving practical problems by computers. The software was evaluated through man-made and machine-made interlocking tables are compared. The evaluation results proves the software to be effective for computer control of the signaling system as interlocking system with a much improved safety.
