When a train is delayed because of a disturbance, the time interval deviation between successive trains increases, and high frequency metro lines can become unstable. Thus, it is necessary to control the traffic regularity to prevent any such instability. In this paper, we propose a simple but effective traffic regulation algorithm that gurantees system stability. In the proposed method, the control algorithm for running time is designed using a discrete traffic model where control input is determined from a linear combination of departure time deviations and control input of the preceding train to ensure an optimal time interval between successive trains. The results of the computer simulation are also given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed algorithm.

When a train is delayed because of a disturbance, the time interval between successive trains increases and high-frequency metro lines can become unstable. Time interval control is therefore necessary in preventing such instabilities. In this paper, we propose an optimal interval control algorithm that is easy-to-implement and that guarantees system stability. In the proposed method, the controlled trains are determined from the time interval deviations between successive trains; the control algorithm for staying time is designed by use of a discrete traffic model to ensure an optimal time interval between successive trains. The results of a computer simulation are also given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed algorithm.

철도시스템은 시설, 차량, 역사, 전기, 신호통신 등 거의 모든 분야가 통합되어 상호 유기적으로 동작함으로써 안전하고 신뢰성 있는 운행을 가능하게 한다. 특히, 철도에 처음으로 컴퓨터 시스템을 도입한 열차운행제어 설비인 관제시스템은 선구를 운행하는 모든 열차에 대하여 중앙에서 원격 감시 및 제어를 수행함과 동시에 열차운행에 관련된 모든 정보를 취합하고 이를 각 분야별로 전송하여 열차 운행의 정시성을 보장하는 중요한 설비이다. 따라서, 관제시스템은 열차운전 통제 및 감시의 일관성, 효율성, 적시성을 기하여 열차의 안전운행 확보와 지연을 최소화하고 있다. 이와 같이 열차운행의 중요설비인 관제시스템은 국가 보안시설로 평상시는 일반인의 출입이 금지될 뿐만 아니라 시스템적으로 외부로부터의 침입방지 및 보안 대책은 무엇보다도 중요한 현안이므로 관제시스템에 대한 보안 위협을 분석하고 이에 대한 보안대책 및 대응방안 등에 대하여 논의하고자 한다.

In the major operation sections of the urban railway, there has been habitual delay, and delay propagation; another problem is the increase of crowds and of inconvenience to passengers. The urban railway has different characteristics from rural railways, such as uncertainty of demand and irregularity of train operation. In urban railways, recently, operators manage quality indicators of service using operation results, such as the delay of train operation and the congestion of trains. However, because the urban railway has characteristics in which demand, passenger behavior, and train operation mutually affect each other, it is difficult to express the quality of service that passengers actually feel. In this paper, we suggest a quality indicator of service from the viewpoint of passengers, and present a demand responsive multi-train simulation method to predict dynamic dwell time and train operation status; we also use simulation results to consider changes in the quality indicator of service.

This research shows the relationship between the number of trains and the probability of trains with arrival delay and suggests way to estimate the benefits of improved punctuality in a bottleneck section of the Gyeongbu Line. The arrival delays of high-speed and conventional trains were estimated using the train operation data of KORAIL. Linear regression models for the probability of trains with arrival delay by train type are presented in this paper. The probabilities of trains with arrival delay were more affected by the number of conventional trains than by the number of high-speed rail trains. For the empirical analysis, a project for increasing the capacity in the Seoul~Geumcheongu office section was tested. The benefits of the improved punctuality were estimated to be 4.2~4.5 billion Korean won every year. This research has some limitations but it can help evaluate more precisely the feasibility of the project of increasing the capacity in bottleneck sections.

Additional train scheduling is often required to increase the capacity of transporting passengers or freight. In most previous studies on scheduling additional trains, operation time of the added train is designated first; and then the train operation feasibility is examined. However, it is often difficult to apply this approach to domestic trains because the density of the railroad network in Korea is high and various types of trains are in use. Moreover, for freight trains, it is even more challenging because the delay is accumulated due to lower priority whenever a freight train and a passenger train contend for a common segment of rail. In this paper, we address the additional train scheduling problem which entails finding a feasible schedule for an additional train having a fixed departure time or departure time windows. The problem is modeled as a mixed integer programming and a column generation technique is used to solve it.

본 논문은 철도청 사령실 통합 신호설비 구축사업에 적용할 열차 경합의 해소기법 중 열차지연시간의 수치화 기법에 대한 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 열차경합의 검지 및 해소는 열차운행의 정시성을 유지하기 위하여 매우 중요한 기능이지만 현재까지 자동화되지 못하고 지역본부별로 하나의 이벤트에 대하여 해당열차만을 고려하는 수작업의 형태로 경합해소를 수행해오고 있다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 해결하고 철도 시스템을 전역적으로 고려할 수 있는 기법이 요구된다. 이러한 시스템에서 열차의 지연에 따른 우선순위를 수치적으로 표현할 수 있는 방안이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 열차 지연을 수치화하여 경합에 대한 최적의 대안을 제시하는 기법을 제안한다.

This study investigated the causes and problems of train operation impediments through the statistics analysis of 8 years'internal data of Daejeon Metropolitan Express Transit. By evaluating the risks regarding the system, equipment, and parts of high risk group, this study measured the Risk Index Severity, and applied the $5{\times}5$ Risk Assessment Matrix which is a method of risk management to calculate the scale of risk to analyze the safety level and allowance range. As a result, the car sector, the most serious risk, followed by machinery and equipment sector showed that the inherent risk. In particular, the door broken and the door rail signaling and control devices due to defects of the vehicle is high, but also the severity, and frequency are showing very frequent additional potential accidents. PSD also had defects in the machinery sector appeared to be the most dangerous of the PSD poor safety gates, it was found that the glass also involve the risk of mishandling and breakage of the PSD. This study intended to contribute to the transportation benefits through the safety and stable operation of Metropolitan Express Transit.

The train conflict resolution problem refers to an adjustment of the train operation schedule in order to minimize the delay propagation when a train conflict is predicted or when a train conflict occurs. Previous train studies of train conflict resolutions are limited in terms of the size of the problems to be solved due to exponential increases in the variables. In this paper, we propose a train conflict resolution model using a time-space network to solve the train conflict situation in the operational phase. The proposed model adjusts the size of the problem by giving only the dwell tolerance in the time-space network only for stops at the station after a train conflict. In addition, the proposed model can solve large problems using a path flow variable. The study presents a train delay propagation analysis and experimental results of train conflict resolution assessments as well using the proposed model.

본 논문은 철도청 사령실 통합 신호설비 구축사업에 적용할 열차 경합의 효과적인 해소 기법을 제시하고자 한다. 열차경합의 검지 및 해소 시스템 (Railway Conflict Detection and Resolution System)은 열차 운행관리 시스템(Railway Traffic Management System, RTMS)의 의사결정 지원 모듈이다. 이 모듈은 열차운행의 정시성을 유지하기 위하여 매우 중요한 기능을 수행하고 있다. 하지만 현재 5개 지역본부별로 나뉘어서 기능이 수행되고 있고, 사령의 경험에 의하여 수작업 형태로 이루어지고 있기 때문에 전체 시스템의 관점에서 보면 최적의 해소안이 도출되고 있지 못하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 시스템을 전역적으로 고려하여 최적의 해소안을 제시하고자 한다. 또한 최적화의 개념을 도입하기 위하여 6가지의 가중치를 설정하고, 이 가중치를 고려한 지연시간의 합을 목적함수의 값으로 설정한다. 본 시스템은 이러한 가중치의 합을 최소로 하는 복수의 해소안을 제시한다.
