In order to install ATP system for KTX safety running, a study has been done to examine measures to ensure the interface between KTX and ATP system. Although onboard signaling system is efficient and has been verified both at home and abroad, alternatives for optimum installation shall be adopted so as to show designated performance taking into account the given peripheral device. A solution to interface between beacon and onboard system shall be presented especially for the KTX, which runs on both high speed and conventional line (ATP-ATS). Furthermore, the method for controlling the braking process and recorder shall be studied.

This paper dealt with a detection method of series arc existence which is a symptom of electric fires in low-voltage system. The proposed detection circuit consists of a high-pass filter with a low cut-off frequency of 3kHz to attenuate power frequency voltage by 80 dB and an active band-pass filter with a center frequency of 4kHz to detect only the series arc signals. The performance of the circuit was evaluated in a phase-controlled incandescent lamp as a non-linear load and an inverted-fed induction motor as a high frequency load by using the arc generator specified in UL1699. From the experimental results, it was confirmed that the proposed method solved the detection error, which is being the most problem, by discriminating the series arc signal even in non-linear and high frequency loads.

전자부품으로 구성된 제어기의 신뢰성에 대한 연구는 미국방부를 중심으로 1960년대부터 연구되었으며, 철도에서는 유럽을 중심으로 1990년대부터 연구되었다. 특히, 한국에서는 2000년대 이후부터 신호설비 신뢰성에 대한 연구가 시작되어 과거 신뢰성 정보가 없는 노후 신호설비를 대상으로 효율적인 유지보수를 위한 수명평가가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 부품단위 고장률 또는 운영시 발생된 고장정보와 같이 신호설비의 신뢰도가 지속적으로 모니터링 및 분석정보가 존재하지 않고 장기간 사용된 노후신호설비에 대한 수명을 예측하기 위한 방안을 제시한다.

TECA(Terminal Cabin) has train information, fault display, maintenance function and training function for driver, as sub-device of Seoul-Pusan Express train's on-board computerized device. Concerning KTX train's driving, signal driving is required for high speed driving, and it is true that we have difficulty in troubleshooting and acquisition of basic information through long train and one-man driving. Therefore, rapid and correct processing about various information and TECA device for maintenance are indispensable for its utilization. But there is not study example in hardware, maintenance about this device and device development according to new requirements. Therefore, this study will help understanding of driver assistance terminal device's maintenance performance development, describing TECA's basic functions necessary for device development and its requirements. Accordingly, I suppose that this thesis will be utilized to complete specification, necessary for new driver assistance terminal device development.

Using network communication, KTX OBCS is KTX's core device which inspects operation status of various electric equipments and supports driving command, train control, train's maintenance, train crew's driving. Since this device is manufactured as specialized system, being dependent on TGV manufacture specification and France's high speed train operation method, actual technic transfer is difficult. Therefore, there are many difficulties, since most of interface signals are connected with OBCS when function improvement, maintenance, various electric equipments(propulsion control device, auxiliary power supply device, door control device etc.) are replaced with localized ones, which are required in operational view after introduction of KTX. Ergo, this study would like to contribute to function improvement and maintenance's efficiency, furthermore to realize technical independence, escaping from dependency of developed foreign technology in high speed train and electric equipments, through KTX OBCS' function analysis and mutual interface information analysis with peripheral device(driver console, PID system, fault display device, various electric equipments).

It has been subject to question whether a conventional traffic signal controller can support efficient operation at grade intersections in which vehicles and tram lines cross concurrently. This study proposes a list of functional requirements for a traffic signal controller to support effective operation of trams at such an intersection. The considered details includes the combinations of geometric conditions at which vehicle, bus, and tram lines are aligned, the types of exclusive tram signals, and the combinations of various signal phases, including exclusive tram phases, which are currently undefined in the nation. The results suggest that the controller should be capable of dealing with the NEMA standard overlap relays and a quadruple-ring phase representation scheme.

Railway point machines act as actuators that provide different routes to trains by driving switchblades from the current position to the opposite one. Since point failure caused by the aging effect can significantly affect railway operations with potentially disastrous consequences, replacement detection of point machine at an appropriate time is critical. In this paper, we propose a replacement condition detection method of point machine in railway condition monitoring systems using electrical current signals, after analyzing and relabeling domestic in-field replacement data by means of OLAP(On-Line Analytical Processing) operations in the multidimensional data cube into "does-not-need-to-be replaced" and "needs-to-be-replaced" data. The system enables extracting suitable feature vectors from the incoming electrical current signals by DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) with reduced feature dimensions using PCA(Principal Components Analysis), and employs SVM(Support Vector Machine) for the real-time replacement detection of point machine. Experimental results with in-field replacement data including points anomalies show that the system could detect the replacement conditions of railway point machines with accuracy exceeding 98%.

본 연구에서는 전자연동장치의 확장성과 신뢰성 제고를 위해 전자연동장치의 실시간 연동전략으로 활용될 수 있는 연동 지식베이스를 자동 생성, 구축할 수 있는 지능형 연동지식베이스 자동 구축 소프트웨어(IIKBAGS)를 개발한다. IIKBAGS의 추론부는 주어진 역 모델의 동적탐색하에서 휴리스틱 규칙들의 우선순위에 따라 모든 진로를 탐색함은 물론 각 진로들에 대해 진로상 신호설비들간의 연쇄관계를 확인하여 연동패턴들을 자동생성하는 연동지식 자동생성기능을 가진다. 지식베이스는 전자연동장치상의 실시간 전문가 시스템이 직접적으로 활용할 수 있는 구조로 설계됨으로써 연동도표 입력과정에서 발생할 수 있는 오류를 배제, 연동장치의 정확성과 신뢰성을 높인다.

This paper describes the lightning protection system for railway signaling equipments installed at subway car depots in Seoul metropolitan Rapid Transit Cooperation. Several measures for improving lightning protection performance are adopted; newly organized grounding system for neutral line of power system, rolling method to minimize damages induced by direct lightning strike, new measures to reduce voltage differences between the signaling equipments and the ground, and improvement of grounding system. The proposed system has greatly reduced the grounding resistance and also the voltage difference between the signaling equipments and the ground, and has prevented the accident related with lightning surges since it was installed. The proposed approach can be viewed as a useful alternative of dealing with lightning protection for railway signaling equipments.

The national subway went under construction in 1971, and after three years of endeavor, Seoul subway line number one opened for traffic in 1974. Line number two went under construction in 1978 and it opened for traffic in 1984. With the use of safety operation for more than 20 years, the life cycle nearly came to an end. Therefore the improvements for the safety operation are unavoidable. The total system should not be affected when the new and conventional systems are overlapped, the system operation is in the initial stage, and it confronts the situation of abnormal operation. However, there is a total lack of experience in construction and improvement for the trains that are in the use of large transport and density headway. In this paper, we propose an improvement method of the subway signalling system using ATO (Automatic Train Operation control scheme) to which the latest Digital ATC is applied, and examine the first application model of ATO system.
