This study presents an overhang-type rail traction system using dual brushless AC (BLAC) motors with hall sensors. For an accurate position and moving length control of the designed rail traction system, instantaneous position controller using speed reference model and modified disturbance observer for BLAC motor with hall sensor are proposed. The presented speed reference model is designed to satisfy the required performance of 200 mm/s with proper acceleration and deceleration slopes to reduce mechanical vibration. Through the instantaneous speed reference model, instantaneous position and speed errors can be compensated together. Furthermore, the modified disturbance observer for BLAC motors with low-resolution hall sensors can improve the torque and speed control performance. The proposed disturbance observer is based on an actual motor speed. However, the feedback speed information of the hall sensor is not enough for use in the low-speed region. The practical adopted disturbance observer uses an activation speed band to the actual torque controller of the designed rail traction system. The proposed position control scheme is verified by the MATLAB-Simulink model and a practical manufactured traction system. In the computer simulation and experiments, the proposed position control scheme shows advanced control performance.

This paper presents a constant gm input stagefor low-voltage rail-to-rail operational amplifier. A proposed scheme uses two current paths to keep sum of the biasing currents of the complimentary input pairs. The op amp was designed in a $0.8\mu\textrm{m},$ n-well CMOS, double-polysilicon and double-metal technology. This achieved in weak inversion. The circuit can operate in power supply voltage from 1.5V up to 3V. An open-loop gain, AV, was simulated as 84dB for 15pF load. An unit-gain frequency, fT was 10MHz.

This paper presents an output common mode current compensation method to achieve both constant Gm and constant gain. A conventional rail-to-rail CMOS op-amp with constant Gm was designed by using complementary differential input stage and current compensation skills. But it doesn't operate constant gain, because of output resistance variation. With $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process, the simulation results show that the differential gain variation can achieve less than 1.3dB. And a 60dB gain, a 13.5MHz unity gain-frequency, and 1mW power consumption, when operating at 1.8V and 10pF load.

This paper presents a second-generation CMOS current conveyor (CCII) consisting of a rail-to-rail complementary N- and P-channel differential input stage for the voltage input, a class AB push-pull stage for the current input, and current mirrors far the current outputs. The CCII was implemented using a double-poly triple-metal 0.6 ${\mu}$m n-well CMOS process, to confirm its operation experimentally. A prototype chip achieves a rail-to-rail swing ${\pm}$2.4 V under ${\pm}$2.5 V power supplies and shows the exact voltage and current following performances up to 100 MHz. Because of its high performances, the CCII proposed herein is quite useful for a building block of current-mode circuits. The applications of the proposed CCII to current-mode filters are also described.

The railroad is a means of large transportation which has many latents such as a safety and a regularity. That is a results from various confidential performance tests and evaluations of the system. The railroad system consist of various subsystems - vehicle, power supply, signal, communications, track structures, operations, etc. Among them, as an item of safety evaluation there is a measurement of wheel/rail force, so called a measurement of derailment coefficient. This is a very important item because a derailment of a train will bring about a big accident. Especially it is more important in high speed rail of which operation speed is over two times as fast as existing rail. In this paper, it is introduced to preprocess the wheelset for measuring wheel/rail force of high speed rail, such as to treat a measuring wheelset, its finite element analysis, adhesion of strain gauges and static toad test, running test result of main line.

The terms of track is a train-only line for a train service, in premises of station of a station, that the unit over the track for turnout the track from one track to another track, which it changes the course from the main track that is used for operating a train to the side track, is called a turnout The stick strength of tongue rail is adjusting uniform pressure on the both sides, the adhesion strength between a basic rail and tongue rail has to maintain over 100kg of power value to open over 1mm the ends. This study suggested developing a measuring instrument that can measure a basic rail and the stick strength of a movable rail in according with a switch, such as a switch point, and a performance test. This study ties to be helped that it improves measuring usability for the maintainers through improving quality in a stick measuring instrument, that it solves a technique in the site difficulties through improving a measuring instrument, with reducing the obstacles and expenses.

Nowadays, in metropolitan railroad, DC feeding system is being generally applied. In order to reduce damages of electro-chemical corrosion caused by stray current and leakage current, in DC feeding system, rail is used as negative-polarity return conductor for traction load current. However, it has problem of rail potential increase and there are no adequate measures to prevent it in domestic. In this paper, we presented fundamental theory and related standards about rail potential increase. And then, we analyzed field testing data and simulated a variety of operations by using PSCAD/EMTDC as an analysis program of power system. In addition, voltage control device is suggested to prevent accidents caused by rail potential increase.

This paper presents power supply-insensitive Gbps low power LVDS I/O circuits. The proposed LVDS I/O has been designed and simulated using 1.8V, $0.18\;{\mu}m$ TSMC CMOS Process. The LVDS I/O includes transmitter and receiver parts. The transmitter circuits consist of a differential phase splitter and an output stage with the switched capacitor common mode feedback(SC-CMFB). The differential phase splitter generates a pair of differential signals which provides a balanced duty $cycle(50{\pm}2%)$ and phase difference$(180{\pm}0.2^{\circ})$ over a wide supply voltage range. Also, $V_{OD}$ voltage is 250 mV which is the smallest value of the permissible $V_{OD}$ range for low power operation. The output buffer maintains the required $V_{CM}$ within the permissible range$(1.2{\pm}0.1V)$ due to the SC-CMFB. The receiver covers a wide input DC offset $range(0.2{\sim}2.6\;V)$ with 38 mV hysteresis and Produces a rail-to-rail output over a wide supply voltage range. Beside, the designed receiver has 38.9 dB gain at 1 GHz, which is higher than conventional receivers.

Nowadays, in metropolitan railroad, DC feeding system is being generally applied. In order to reduce damage of electro-chemical corrosion caused by stray current and leakage current, in DC feeding system, rail is used as negative-polarity return conductor for traction load current. However, it has problem of rail potential increase and there are no adequate measures to prevent it in domestic. The rise of rail potential leads to damage for human and equipments. To solve the problems, this paper presents fundamental theory and related standards about rail potential increase. And then, we analyzed field testing data and simulated a variety of operations by using PSCAD/EMTDC as an analysis program of power system. In addition, this paper suggests rail potential limit device and addresses how to the device.
