In this paper We study on test methods and procedures for Hybrid Track Circuit's practicalization. It's possible to apply to HTC's Seoulmetro and high-speed train by proposing test method considering special rail environment and RFID tag and leader, antenna We also present the test methods and procedures for safe and reliable of interface among the Hybrid track circuit devices.

Track circuit is a simple electrical device which lies in the connection of the two rails by the wheels and axle of locomotives and rolling stock to short out an electrical circuit, used to detect the absence of a train on rail tracks. In railway signaling system, there are similar systems such as RFID and wheel sensor, GPS etc, are research and developing. Hybrid track circuit is using RFID antenna and reader on the cab and RFID tag on the sleeper. because of the safety in railway operation, tag detection of train position detection function in the hybrid track circuit needs high reliability. This paper studied tag recognition enhancement used tag angles.

We have studied on the possibility of precise positioning using hybrid Track Circuit system. Hybrid Track Circuit uses RFID which replaces UHF. Hybrid Track Circuit is a part of next generation railroad signal system which is available to communicate with a railway on board system based on a realtime operating system. If applicate on a current hand operating subway, phenomenon caused by driver's mistake such as passing a stop without stopping or mismatch error between PSD and train door should be prevented.

We have studied on the possibility of railway stability system using RFID tag. UHF RFID tag was desinged, manufactured and tested. Proposed UHF tag antenna has PIFA type structure and inset feed multi matching technique was attempted for impedance matching of antenna. The impedance bandwidth (VSWR < 3) of the proposed tag antenna covers 917~923 MHz. Measured peak gain is 3.225 dBi and UHF band with an omni-directional radiation pattern. RFID reader and tag installed in motor car and track, respectively. Then, tag recognition rate according to velocity of car (under 45 km/h) represented 100 %.
