In Train Control Network(TCN), to support advanced services beyond control applications, it was revised to support high speed ethernet as IEC 61375-2-5(ETB) and IEC 61375-3-4(ECN). And Train Topology Discovery Protocol(TTDP) was included by which train-consist can be automatically configured. Meanwhile, to adopt wireless LAN as an next onboard network, TTDP need to be modified to reflect the characteristics of WLAN. This paper proposed a TTDP for WLAN using transmission power control and the number of HELLO-ACK handshake. And it determined whether the TTDP executed using the two WLAN interfaces having different bandwidths is correct or not. The proposed TTDP can allow to reduce interference from other nodes. For evaluation of performance of TTDP, NS-2 was used. The evaluation result shows the high reliability of the TTDP in wireless environment.

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.

철도에서는 열차가 출발할 때 착력을 향상시키기 위해 레일과 차륜사이에 모래를 살사하게 되는데 이때 ATC(Automatic Train Control : 열차자동제어장치) 신호파형에 영향을 줄 수 있다는 판단에 따라 시험운행하면서 ATC 차상장치인 TVM 430의 CRNB 보드 내에서 살사동작 후 신호파형을 측정하고 분석하였다. 이로 인해 다중화 되어 있는 차상장치 시스템의 동작상태와 살사재료별 ATC 신호파형에 미치는 영향성을 파악할 수 있었으며 향후 살사로 인해 발생되는 문제점 등의 연구에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, operation mode of train was divided into powering, coasting, and braking and rail wear phenomenon has been done comparative analysis by each section. Data of train velocity is transferred to acceleration and deceleration from ATO Logging data. Amount of rail wear has been done comparative analysis by traction force of acceleration and braking force of deceleration and a plan for management of track irregularity is come up with by the result of the analysis.

The ${\mu}$-processor based-controlled system is widely used in railway signaling system. The railway signaling systems are highly required safety and reliability. It is necessary to have a fault-tolerant and fail safe concept in ${\mu}$-processor based railway signaling system. In this paper, several architectures and circuits of fault-tolerant computer system is reviewed. The basic concept of the fault-tolerant computer system will be adapted total self checking, strong fail safe, fault display circuit, logic testing circuit and system switching concepts.

An Electrical Point Machine (NS:New-type Switch), which is equipped and operated at railways in Korea, has been used since the 1960s after being imported from Japan. On the other hand, although the mechanical configuration has improved the position motor control circuit, the electrical connection has not been improved, so NS may have a problem, such as the interlocking system of automatic train operation. In addition, NS is the most vulnerable part in the railway system and a huge train accident may occur due to minor defects. The existing NS wiring set of the circuit controller should be checked only if fixed. Therefore, an excessive inspection time only by a Railroad Signal expert is required. In this paper, the improvement of electrical connection in a NS wiring set, such as the position motor control circuit, was developed and the prototype was installed at Seoul Metro in the distance to go section. The results can be used to help make appropriate adjustments. The improvement of the NS wiring set enhance the maintenance efficiency, passenger service and the stability of the signal system as well as reducing the maintenance cost.

1974. 8. 15 SeoulMetro, beginning with the first electric railway established at six cities, so it is managing mass transportation of traffic. Especially, in case of seoul, It is managing that from one to eight lines, 286.9km, 265 stations have installed and now it is carrying about 5.5million of passengers everyday, and 2,000million passengers a year. So accident is increasing from the station every year. For this measure, SeoulMetro prepares safety fence for passengers crash but, as suicides or people who watch the accident took place, for at the bottom of passengers crash protection, PSD installing is needed. Even though, PSD is managing ATO section but, in controlling SeoulMetro, one to four lines sections are (ATS, ATC)section. Between as ATS, ATC section, ATO section, subway gate and PSD must have opened and crossed always at the time. And the interlock control corrosion protection gate, managing skills with installation, method, using in history, apply to 10rail cars one train sets, and maximum applying 2224% sections of passengers congested that consideration is to be needed. So 2004, SeoulMetro improved technology and basie design of PSD at ATS section. Based on this, from 2005.4 to 2006.6, using subway 2lines per 12stations set the model installation(full type 11stations, half type 1station) After installing in case of success, it is going about to suggest that effective analysis and hereafter subject.

Reliability of the Railway signaling system which is safety critical is determined by reliability of hardware and software. Reliability of hardware is easily predicted and demonstrated through lots of different studies and environmental tests, while that of software is estimated by the iterative test outcomes so estimates of reliability will depend on the inputs. Combinations of inputs to and outputs from the software may be mostly combinatoric and therefore all the combinations could not be tested. As a result, it has been more important to calculate reliability by means of a simpler method. This paper identifies the reliability prediction equation applicable to reliability prediction for railway signaling system software, and performs the simulation of onboard equipment of automatic train control for high speed train to review reliability prediction and validity.

An automatic train operation(ATO) system executes the operation of constant speed travelling and fixed point parking by using microprocessors instead of driver's manual operation. This paper describes the mathematical model for the train considering unknown disturbances which consist of start resistance, travelling resistance, slope resistance, curve resistance, and so on. The speed controller of ATO system is designed by considering the disturbances. The simulation is executed to verify the speed control and fixed point parking performance and to compare its performance with that of a PID-type ATO control system under disturbances. Simulation results show that the control performance of gain scheduled control scheme for ATO system is better than that of the conventional PID controller.
