The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Korea has been trying to spread integrated railway communication network technologies based on a major railway policy since 2012. As a result, the world's first commercial Long-Term Evolution - Railway (LTE-R) network was established on the Gangneung line (Manjong station - Gangneung station) and has been commercially operating as a railway communication system since 2017. Special function and performance requirements are needed for safe and efficient railway operations, such as group calls, emergency calls, functional addressing, and train control based on wireless communications. In this paper, we present functional and performance railway communications requirements that are based on European wireless railway communications systems. In addition, we measured communications characteristics and performance using a KTX field test on the Gangneung line to analyze the validity and reliability of the LTE-R network. Although the average Radio Frequency (RF) conditions were satisfied in the requirements, we found sudden communications quality degradation, such as Radio Link Failure (RLF) in some railway sections. We propose a way to improve performance and network installations based on in-depth analysis of LTE-R communications field-test results.

Safety is the most important factor for train control systems. Model-based design and safety activities for way-side equipment in train control systems are important factors. Model-based architecture verification was carried out to develop an effective control system, which is represented by model-based failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA). An architecture verification method was created based on FMEA to take advantage of a design model and improve the train safety control system. Case studies were applied to architecture verification scenarios, and the results demonstrate the usability of the method. The improved method is expected to reduce the cost and time in the conceptual design for future development of model-based verification train control systems.

무선통신에 대한 기술이 급격하게 진화함에 따라, 철도 무선통신도 VHF나 TETRA에서 GSM으로 진보되었고, 현재는 LTE 기반으로 변화하고 있다. 이런 흐름 속에서, 본 고에서는, LTE 로 발전 되는 철도 무선망을 QoS(Quality Of Service) 관리 및 이동통신망 과는 다른 관점에서 철도통신(LTE-Railway)에서 추가되어야 할 요구사항 및 거기에 다른 요소 기술들을 살펴본다. LTE-R 시스템에서는 음성, 영상, 열차제어 등 모든 종류의 진보된 철도 서비스에 대해서 통합된 형태로 안정적이고 신뢰성 있은 서비스를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이런 요구사항을 만족시키기 위해서는 일반 이동통신망과는 다른 접근으로 LTE-R을 개발할 필요가 있다. 본 고에서는 LTE 기반 철도통신망과 이동통신망의 다른 요구사항을 기반으로 과 차이점을 QoS(Quality Of Service) 등 철도와 같은 특수 임무형 통신 시스템에서의 요구사항이 적절하고 실용적인지 여부의 검증을 LTE 테스트베드를 실제 철도 영업선 상에 구축을 하고 필드 테스트를 통해서 만족 여부를 검토하였다. 국가적으로 진행되고 있는 LTE 기반 철도 통신망 구축 사업에서 요구하는 통신 기술 사이의 상관관계를 따져봄으로써 LTE-R에서 지원하는 통신 기술이 신뢰도 및 효율성 측면에서 충분한 정도의 기술적인 완성도를 갖추고 있음을 보인다.

Smart railway system, which has been actively studied in recent years, is entering the intelligent stage beyond the automation stage based on ICT (Information & Communication Technology) such as communication technology and information technology. ICT technology used in smart railways is generally supported by various information protection technologies as it is vulnerable to information infringement. As a means of high-speed/mass transportation, it is essential to devise an information protection plan for ICT technology that forms the basis for smartening the railway system. Therefore, this paper presents the necessity of step-by-step information protection that measures for smart railway communication by examining potential risk factors of smart railway communication base and considering information protection factors that can respond to them.

Due to the evolution of wireless communications technology, Long Term Evolution (LTE), which is a $4^{th}$ generation mobile communications system, has been adopted as a railway communications system. This LTE Railway (LTE-R) system is composed of various elemental functions, which are largely categorized into public safety and wireless communications for train control. Research on the public safety functions of railway communications have their roots in TRS based national public safety communication systems, and research on wireless communications functions for train control have their roots GSM-R, which is utilized by the ETCS in Europe. Based on these circumstances, this paper first analyzes the requirements for developing public safety technology in LTE-R, and compares those requirements with the functions of public safety LTE (PS-LTE), which is being deployed for the first time in the world by the South Korean government. Based on an analysis of the common and specific functions of LTE-R and PS-LTE, we conclude that there is little problem in integrating LTE-R and PS-LTE from the perspective of functionality. Second, this paper provides a comparison of the LTE-R requirements for the Quality of Service (QoS) with those of GSM-R utilized by the ETCS. This offers a guideline to allow LTE-R to be applied to a 500km/h train control system.

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.
