철도분야에서의 전기$\cdot$신호설비 고장은 열차의 정상운행에 차질을 일으켜 사회적으로 커다란 영향을 끼치게 되므로 설비의 유지관리를 위해서는 많은 노력이 필요하다. 또 이러한 보전작업에는 철도 설비가 널리 산재되어 있기 때문에 이동을 수반하는 작업, 열차가 통과하지 않는 야간 작업, 만일의 경우 위험을 수반하는 작업 등, 이 분야 특유의 작업이 있다. 한편 보전작업에 종사하는 기술자는 해마다 줄어들고 있으며 앞으로 젊은 근로자의 부족은 더욱더 심해질 것으로 보인다. 그러한 이유로 설비보전의 자력화, 미연의 고장방지, 고장의 조기복구와 재발방지를 목표로 지금까지 사람의 손에 의지해 오던 설비보전을 기계화하고 자동화하는 시스템을 개발하게 되었다. 이 시스템은 대상설비에 따라 다음의 3가지 시스템으로 분류된다. $\cdot$신호설비 보전시스템 $\cdot$변전$\cdot$수배전설비 보전시스템$\cdot$연선전기설비 보전시스템 이들시스템에 공통적인 주요 특징을 들면 아래와 같다. (1)사고를 미연에 방지하고 사고원인을 규명 이벤트발생 전후의 변화나 중장기트렌드를 원격감시할 수 있다. (2)시스템의 변경$\cdot$증설이 용이 인텔리전트단말에 의하여 처리를 계층화하였기 때문에 빌딩블록식으로 시스템을 확장할 수 있다. (3)경제적인 시스템 필드 네트워크의 채용으로 공사비를 삭감할 수 있다.

CBTC(Communication Based Train Control) System can improve train operation efficiency by realizing moving block system which makes a continuous train interval control in accordance with the position and speed of train. Adopting radio transmission to make a continuous detection of train position and transmit the control data from the ground to a train, CBTC needs dedicated train operation and control algorithm which should be quite different from the conventional track-circuit-based train control system. This paper provides a train operation display and control algorithm for CBTC system in making train interval control, train route control and train supervision. Signalling pattern diagram is devised to analyze the train interval control mechanism of moving block system, and interlocking logic is devised to represent the train route control mechanism of moving block system. For train supervision, train occupation status on railway are displayed by using the segment which virtually divide the whole railway. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the development of CBTC system for the standardized AGT(automatic guided transit) which is under construction now in Korea, and also can be applied to any other CBTC system.

This paper is designed to help train dispatcher resolve railway conflicts in rent-time. We developed a mixed integer programming model to optimize the train schedule that determines the best overtaking or crossing positions, The objective of the model is to minimize the maximum lateness of the trains and reduce the total sum of the lateness, while satisfying the field constraints associated with the difference between passenger trains and freight trains, and the limited number of sidings. We applied the model on a portion of a single line track, Joong-Ang Line to ascertain the efficiency of the model, and showed how the model can be used to resolve the railway conflicts. The results indicates that our model can provide useful results in terms of optimal schedule for the test problem. This type of modeling approach would be useful for a train dispatcher to make a real-time railway conflict resolution.

There is an operational efficiency problem about wayside equipment applied to the domestic low-density branch as the equipment has been installed and operated similarly in the mainline. On-board oriented train control system, which has been developed for train safety and operation efficiency, ensures safe train operation without expensive ground control signal devices. Such system consists of on-board control system, wayside control system, and local control system. In this paper, the details of tests such as suitability test, communication test, and interface test are described by installing the on-board control system and wayside control system in field. Installation tests include checking power, voltage, cable connection, LED status, etc. Field applicability of the developed system is also verified through the dynamic operation tests with diverse scenarios, which are performed on the virtual line similar to the real environment including switch machine and level crossing gate. Dynamic operation tests were conducted for total 7 scenarios, and several tests were repeated for each scenario. The elapsed time for each operation was computed by analyzing main process log, and we could check that each operation was accomplished within several seconds. Furthermore, the developed system was verified through field test with an accredited institute, and testing certificates were issued.

In the current train operation system, large scaled stations like Cheongnyangni and Yongsan are not remote controlled from the central operator but manually by local operator. It is because there are so many entering and exit of trains between depot and mainline which are operating through the large scaled stations and it is very effective to traffic flow on the mainline. Therefore, Kyong Bong Technology Co., Ltd. (KBTech) and Korea Railway Research Institute (KRRI) are continuing the research and development to import 'Autonomous Decentralized System (ADS)'as part of a new train operation control system which is a national policy project of MOCT (Ministry Of Construction & Transportation). The concept of the 'Autonomous Decentralized System (ADS)' has born in 1970's in Japan by the influences of molecular biology. The special features of ADS are being a system that able to do the online expansion, online maintenance and fault tolerance. This thesis introduces the concept of technology of ADS and also describes the system designing & development to apply with large scaled stations.

In this paper, a new system requirement management tool and its application on the Urban Transit Maglev Project were introduced. In most R&D projects on complexity system such as transportation system, Systems Engineering(SE) activities are included on each project, and SE teams are using commercial computer-based tools to perform the SE activities. Even though SE tools help to manage huge data and documents on engineering efficiently, but well-designed functions of SE tools which support SE activities are not sufficiently used on the whole process of system engineering. In order to computer-based SE tools are to be effectively used on project management, most engineers who takes engineering and coordination roles, at least sub-project managers should be familiar to the tool and could be easily use it, but usability of commercial SE tools are very difficult for normal engineers with no experience on SE activities and SE tools. To overcome this difficulty, we developed a new system requirement management tool considering each user's scenario on using engineering tools. The developed tool could not cover whole SE processes, but designed to perform requirement engineering such as system requirements(SRs) management, specification management, traceability management, SRs' verification activity management and so on. All the entities on SR database are inter-connected by pre-recognized traceabilities, so even non-specialists on SE can easily browse the database and find entities concern, and linked information such as interacted entities, legal or engineering constraints, coordination documents, status of development and verification and so on. Also functions for SR verification tools, TPM(Technical Performance Measure) tools, DB searching tools with traceability, and report generation tools are included on the system.

최근 세계적인 기상이변으로 인한 재해가 갈수록 증가되고 있으며, 지구 온난화 등 이상기온에 따른 국지성 호우의 발생이 증가함에 따라 이러한 기상이변에 대한 철도재해를 미연에 방지할 수 있는 체계화된 방재시스템 구축이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 철도재해 발생시 경고체계와 우회로 부재에 따른 막대한 경제적 손실이 예상되고 있으므로 강우, 지진 등에 의한 재해 위험에 대해 실질적인 감시관리시스템과 운전규제기준의 재정립이 필요한 실정이다. 특히 국내에서 자주 발생하는 대표적인 재해원인으로는 태풍을 들 수 있는데 작년 8월 우리나라를 관통한 태풍 루사(RUSA)의 경우 일 최다 강우량 870.5mm, 1시간 최다강우량100.5mm를 기록하며, 총 48개소의 철도피해지역과 이로 인한 복구비용은 약 1,472억원 정도로 추정되었고, 경부선 등 전국 8개노선 48개소의 열차운행이 일시 중단된 바 있다.
