To study the feasibility of applying wireless communication technology to the control of train for the effective control of train and for the reduction of cost and time to construct the necessary infra structure, we investigate into the application of the existing commercial WCDMA network to CBTC (communication-based train control) to grasp the obstacles and propose the solutions to circumvent them. The obstacles can be categorized into the hand-off problem, the interference problem near the stations, and the problem of radio shadow areas. We propose, as solutions, the cell overlap method and multi-terminal approach for the hand-off problem, the cell sectoring method for the interference problem, and establishment of new base stations along the railroad both to provide the wireless train control and communication service to the customers on the train which was otherwise impossible because of the shadowing effect.

국내 전파법을 바탕으로 경량전철신호제어시스템용 무선통신장치와 무선데이터통신시스템간 간섭거리를 계산하였다. 무선데이터통신시스템이 실내에 설치되어 있는 경우 경량전철신호제어시스템용 무선통신장치를 사용하는 것이 문제없음을 화인하였다. 또한 실외의 경우에도 큰 문제없이 신호제어시스템용 분석장치를 사용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

무선통신기반의 이동폐색방식 열차제어시스템에서는, 열차위치를 폐색구간 단위로 검지하지 않고 실제 위치를 점단위로 검지하는 방식을 취하기 때문에, 종래와 같이 궤도회로에 의한 폐색구간 단위로 열차위치를 표시할 수 없게 된다. 이와 같이 궤도회로를 사용하지 않는 이동-폐색방식 열차제어시스템에서 현시 전개도를 통하여 열차운행상황을 나타내는 방안을 제시하였다.

This paper assesses communication performance using a roaming simulator when roaming occurs between onboard and ground wireless communication devices for communication based train control system (CBTC). Generally, CBTC is defined as the system regularly collecting location and speed data from each train, transmitting distance information to a train, and optimizing train speed according to train performance. When a train is moving, roaming is also performed to continuously transmit and receive train control information between the ground controller and the train. To operate CBTC, packet loss rate should be less than 1%, roaming time less than 100ms during roaming. We developed a roaming simulator to check communication performance before installing ground and onboard equipments on actual wireless sections. The roaming simulator to be introduced in this paper is for roaming simulation before conducting CBTC field test, which is the project to develop Urban Rail Signaling System Standards, being conducted in KRRI. The simulation consists of one onboard wireless communication device and three ground wireless communication devices, and the roaming simulator estimate packet loss rate occurring during roaming process of the two devices. Therefore, if you use the roaming simulator before the field test, you can predict various problems to occur in actual environment and reduce time, cost and people necessary to resolve these problems.

Assuming that life of urban transit signaling is about 20 years with the flow of technology development, Seoul urban transit will be required to prepare for improvement soon. The highly developed countries preceding several levels rather than Korea are faced with commercial service, which uses RF, ATC and ATO in Train Control System. European highly developed countries in the field of railroad have been progressing standardization and technology development of signaling associated with related manufacturers for direct operation between nations. For that, a effective train control system with radio beyond control levels by the existing wayside-onboard communication is in a developed and used stage. The systems, which advanced countries have been progressing, seem to be applied to domestic within 5 years from now. At present, there are no countries using CBTC for service throughout the world. So, this is investigated to focus on the routes ready to be installed with completed CBTC and trying to introduce the technology. Especially, considerations for economic aspect are mainly reviewed about controlling ability of headway, flexibility, extension aspect and construction cost on the basis of paper examined in NYCT.

The rail transport system is developing into a smart railroad that pursues intelligence beyond the automation stage of each component in recent years. Smart railways based on ICT (: Information & Communications Technology) technologies such as IoT (: Internet of Things), big data, deep learning, AI (: Artificial Intelligence), and block chain are expected to cause many developmental changes in domestic and foreign railway technologies. In this paper, we look at the domestic and international standardization trends of railway communication technology, which forms the basis of such smart railway system, and discuss the direction for train control technology(CBTC) in Korea's railway transportation system to become a leading technology(UBTC) in the world railway industry in the future.

The CBTC(Communication Based Train Control) system, a recent train control system, is a wireless communication based train control system that is operated in the moving block system control by tracking trains in real time. In additioin, the system helps to increase the volume of traffic by shortening driving headways through controlling moving block system control. Furthermore, driverless modes are performed by controlling ATP(Automatic Train Protection)/ATO(Automatic Train Operation). In this paper, controllable elements in ATO driverless train control system, affecting comfortable ride, will be analysed and applied to CBTC train control system that developed by POSCO ICT. Finally, the test results of improved comfortable ride will be showed by appling the developed system to the Gyeong-san light rail transit test track.

현재 세계적인 열차제어의 추세는 궤도회로에 의한 고정폐색방식을 이용한 열차 운행이 아닌 발리스 또는 무선통신에 의한 이동권한을 이용한 열차제어방식을 적용하고 있으며, 국내에서도 이에 맞추어 철도청에서는 ATP 사업을 통하여 발리스에 의한 이동권한을 이용한 열차제어시스템을 적용하고 있다. 또한 분당선에서는 통신기반 열차제어시스템인 CBTC 시스템을 시범구축하고 있다. 이러한 추세에 맞추어 통신기반 열차 제어 시스템을 적용하기 위한 열차제어 알고리즘이 요구되며, 본 논문에서는 이러한 이동권한에 의한 열차제어 알고리즘을 개발하고 이를 시뮬레이션 하였다.

Automatic Train Stop (ATS) is a device that automatically stops or decelerates a train when the train exceeds the permitted speed limits or violates the signal regulations. The railway signaling system has been evolved to an automatic train control system (ATC), and is being developed into Distance-to-Go and Communication Based on Train Control (CBTC). In spite of that, the ATS system is currently being operated in Seoul Metro (line 1 and 2) and most of railway lines in Korea as well as overseas. In this study, we presents the technical methodology to prevent human errors in order to secure the safety in operation of the ATS system.

LRT(Light Rail Transit) is currently adopting a more upgraded signal system these days. This latest signal system is a train on-board signal system with moving block based on the realtime bi-directional wireless communications. The system applies RF-CBTC(Radio Frequency - Communication Based Train Control System) in order th execute fully automated manless operation. This paper reviews the performance requirements and safety of RF-CBTC that will be applied to the fully automated manless operation for LRT.
