This paper analyzes the hazard related to train control, the functional requirements for atrain control system(TCS) and the automatic train protection(ATP) functional allocation that ensures the interoperability of a radio communications-based TCS. In addition, the interoperability can be obtained using wireless communications technology standards and standardized functional allocations of TCS performed on the wayside and onboard. Using this information, an integrated operating system for a rail network can be constructed. The functional allocations of TCS that support interoperability, require hazard analysis of TCS and definition of the system requirements. The hazard factors for a TCS are confirmed through setting the train safety space control and train speed limit excess. Furthermore, this paper determines the impact of the hazard factors on the TCS and, defines the functional requirements for the TCS subsystems and the ATP wayside and onboard functional allocations.

철도시스템에서 열차운행의 안전성과 효율성은 열차제어시스템에 의해 결정된다. 기존의 열차제어는 일반적으로 궤도회로를 기반으로 이루어졌으나, 궤도회로의 문제점으로 부각되는 단락감도, 유지보수 비용증대 등을 해소하기 위해 궤도회로를 대신할 새로운 방법으로 무선통신기술을 기반으로 하는 새로운 형태의 열차제어로 변화를 서두르고 있다. 그러나 이러한 방식으로의 변화는 중저속구간인 도시철도에서는 일부 실용화를 추진하고 있으나 도시간을 이동하는 철도에서는 유럽에서 개념을 정립하여 시험중에 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 현 상황에서 도시간 및 고속용 열차제어에 적용하기 위한 무선통신기술에 대하여 선행검토를 수행한다.

현재 세계적인 열차제어의 추세는 궤도회로에 의한 고정폐색방식을 이용한 열차 운행이 아닌 발리스 또는 무선통신에 의한 이동권한을 이용한 열차제어방식을 적용하고 있으며, 국내에서도 이에 맞추어 철도청에서는 ATP 사업을 통하여 발리스에 의한 이동권한을 이용한 열차제어시스템을 적용하고 있다. 또한 분당선에서는 통신기반 열차제어시스템인 CBTC 시스템을 시범구축하고 있다. 이러한 추세에 맞추어 통신기반 열차 제어 시스템을 적용하기 위한 열차제어 알고리즘이 요구되며, 본 논문에서는 이러한 이동권한에 의한 열차제어 알고리즘을 개발하고 이를 시뮬레이션 하였다.

Radio-based train control system has driving headway shortening effect by real-time train interval control using two-way radio communication between onboard and wayside systems, and reduces facility investment because it does not require any track-circuit. Automatic train protection(ATP), the most significant part of the radio-based train control system, makes sure a safe distance between preceding and following trains, based on real-time train location tracing. In this paper, we propose the overall ATP train interval control algorithm to control the safe interval between trains, and preprocessing-based speed profile calculation algorithm to improve the processing speed of the ATP. The proposed speed profile calculation algorithm calculates the permanent speed limit for track and train in advance and uses as the most restrictive speed profile. If the temporary speed limit is generated for a particular track section, it reflects the temporary speed limit to pre-calculated speed profile and improves calculation performance by updating the speed profile for the corresponding track section. To evaluate the performance of the proposed speed profile calculation algorithm, we analyze the proposed algorithm with O-notation and we can find that it is possible to improve the time complexity than the existing one. To verify the proposed ATP train interval control algorithm, we build the train interval control simulator. The experimental results show the safe train interval control is carried out in a variety of operating conditions.

최근의 무선통신 시스템은 유지, 보수 및 구축이 유선통신 시스템에 비해 용이하고 이동성을 제공할 수 있다는 장점에 의해, 열차, 차량, 미사일 등의 이동체 제어와 관련된 분야에서의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 열차 또는 차량 제어와 같이 안전성이 중요시되는 분야에 있어서 전파에 의한 무선 링크는 가장 문제가 되는 부분으로서, 일반적으로 통신시스템은 어느 한 경로에서 고장이 발생하더라도 설계시 정해진 일정수준의 기능을 제공하는 생존성(survivability)을 지니도록 설계되어진다. 이와 관련한 연구와 개발은 대부분 공중 전화망과 고속 데이터 통신망을 대상으로 수행되었다. 본 논문에서는 유럽의 차세대 열차제어시스템에 적용하기 위해 기존의 유럽 표준 이동통신 시스템인 GSM(Global System for Mobile Communications)을 철도분야의 특수성에 맞도록 보완한 GSM-R(GSM-Railway)을 사례로 무선통신 시스템의 생존성을 검토한다.

This paper assesses communication performance using a roaming simulator when roaming occurs between onboard and ground wireless communication devices for communication based train control system (CBTC). Generally, CBTC is defined as the system regularly collecting location and speed data from each train, transmitting distance information to a train, and optimizing train speed according to train performance. When a train is moving, roaming is also performed to continuously transmit and receive train control information between the ground controller and the train. To operate CBTC, packet loss rate should be less than 1%, roaming time less than 100ms during roaming. We developed a roaming simulator to check communication performance before installing ground and onboard equipments on actual wireless sections. The roaming simulator to be introduced in this paper is for roaming simulation before conducting CBTC field test, which is the project to develop Urban Rail Signaling System Standards, being conducted in KRRI. The simulation consists of one onboard wireless communication device and three ground wireless communication devices, and the roaming simulator estimate packet loss rate occurring during roaming process of the two devices. Therefore, if you use the roaming simulator before the field test, you can predict various problems to occur in actual environment and reduce time, cost and people necessary to resolve these problems.

This paper analyzed radio link throughput performance by applying radio link simulation and test equipment because there is limit in train filed test in 420 km/h high speed environment. According to the radio performance analysis, the throughput performance is slightly degraded in QPSK and 16QAM modulation schemes. But throughput performance is highly degraded in 64QAM modulation scheme.
