  • An inventory with constant demand is studied. We adopt a renewal argument to obtain the transient and stationary distribution of the level of the inventory. We show that the stationary distribution can be also derived by making use of either the level crossing technique or the renewal reward theorem. After assigning several managing costs to the inventory, we calculate the long-run average cost per unit time. A numerical example is illustrated to show how we optimize the inventory.

  • Generally a road vehicle's wrong entry into level crossing gives rise to hazardous events, the eventual collision with a approaching train depends on the effective operation of safety barriers such a abnormal condition detecting or emergency braking. In this paper, the risk assessment models developed for the level-crossing accidents will be introduced. The definition of hazardous events and the related hazardous factors are identified by the review of the accident history and engineering interpretation of the accident behavior. A probability of the hazardous events will be evaluated by the FTA, which is based on the accident scenario. For the severity estimation, the critical factors which can effect on the consequence will be reviewed during the ETA. Finally, the number of casualty for the public(vehicle drivers) and the train passengers are converted into an equivalent fatality.

  • In this paper, the relationship between system engineering lifecycle and safety lifecycle is investigated. V diagram and IEC 61508 model are represented in the lifecycle model. V diagram easily shows the flow of information between phases. But it does not show the amount of work involved in each stage. IEC 61508 model describes the activities to be performed during each phase of the lifecycle. And also the causal-consequence analysis for the level crossing is presented Representing this analysis procedure, we are try to establish safety of level crossing.

  • This system is a diagnosis system that checks whether it causes a partial discharge of a power cable or not. It is to classify normal from abnormal-normal, PD (Partial Discharge) sound through analysis of RLCR (Relative Level Crossing Rate) and spectrogram energy algorithm. Partial discharge diagnostic system has a function that stores PD sound and analyzes the data. The wave shape of PD sound is similar to noise and is systematically generated by partial discharge. Therefore, in this paper, we could discreminate between normal and abnormal case using relative level crossing rate (RLCR) and spectrogram of frequency energy rate.

  • For a short-term measurement to reduce an accident on a railroad crossing, it is necessary to find out the weakness and problems of existing equipment in the railroad transportation system. The analysis of railroad crossing accidents shows that main causes of accidents (24.9%) are the careless driving including an engine problem, damage on the safety equipment, slide on the snow, and an engine stop on the railroad crossing. Therefore, it is required to install a sensor, or to make a crossing gate at the exist for detecting obstacles on a railroad to prevent collisions among trains. This paper suggests 'a panel sensor using the strain gauge' to make up the weaknesses of the sensing Dead Zone, which are caused by using a laser method, and to detect any small objects passing railroads in order to reduce the errors, which are occurred in the earth magnetic field for controlling Exit Slide Crossing Arm Detector. The device, suggested in this paper, is verified with detecting any small objects passing the railroad, with judging entry decision clearly, and with controlling passing gate and obstruction warnings/cautions obstacles at the same time, through an experimental test.

  • We demonstrate in this paper that the level crossing technique can be applied to such a system that not only the state vector is two-dimensional but Its two components are heterogeneous. As an example system, we use the GI-G/c/K queue whose state vector consists of the number of customers in the system and the total unfinished work.

  • We consider a finite dam with general inputs and adopt the level crossing approach to obtain explicit formulas of the expected wet period, the expected loss of water due to overflows in a wet period, and the long-run proportion of loss in inputed water.

  • Railroad level crossing systems are used to prevent train from collisions by informing pedestrians and vehicles of approaching trains on the level crossing. The current detection systems mostly use track-based electrical circuits to detect approaching trains. The making and breaking of the circuit when the train wheel passes along the track sends a signal to barriers that restrict access to the track. Unfortunately, this track-based signal system is vulnerable to malfunctions in certain situations. If the rail becomes rusted due to moisture, weather conditions, or infrequent use, the electrical circuit detection system could fail. Such a failure could lead to a train-vehicle or train-pedestrian collision. This paper suggests a replacement of the electrical circuit-based system with an infrared detection system. The research shows that an infrared detection system improves safety by reducing the frequency of detection failure of the alarming circuit to system.

  • In this study, the structural stability of the railway level crossing system using rubber panel for high speed lines was investigated by applying the specification for wind load conditions (Train gust) of high speed train (300km/h and 360km/h). A finite element analysis using three-dimensional modeling was carried out by applying the field conditions that was installed with the complicated configuration of the rubber plate panel system. As a result of this study, the structural stability of the rubber plate panel system for high speed train gust was analytically verified.
