Electrical railway system consists of rolling stock, track, signal and streetcar line system. Track circuit system is a vital system due to checking the location of trains. Track circuits are divided by using frequency and isolated electrically. Currently, there is not a regulation for the distance between track circuits using identical frequency. In case of installing additional track circuits in large stations or marshalling yard, the problem which is that the signal is not exactly transmitted to the track circuit occurs due to the mutual interference. In other words, the track circuit properly is not operated on account of wrong induction current by the mutual inductance between track circuits. In this paper, we suggest the electrical model between track circuits and numerically calculate demanded parameters in electrical model. The distance between track circuits satisfying the mutual inductance which does not happen to the mutual interference phenomenon is presented about the distance of track circuit. It is proved by using Matlab and PSpice program as the amplitude of mutual induced current.

Impedance of rails is increased by the magnetic coupling between rails and reinforcing bars in the concrete slab track. Currently, the current of track circuit has been compensated by installing the compensation capacitors on track circuit because of increasing the impedance of rails. In case of a rapid transit railway, the compensation capacitors are installed every 20[m] to compensate the current of track circuit in the concrete slab track. Because the interval of one block for a rapid transit railway is as long as 1500[m], the compensation capacitors are installed about the number of 70$\sim$75 on track circuit. However, in case the compensation capacitors are broken over the number of three, it is a problem that the amplitude of current is under standard amplitude of current which is 0.8[A]. In this paper, it was suggested installing a compensation capacitor by using resonance phenomenon on the concrete slab track. We represent the electrical model of track circuit and the four terminal network, calculate the parameters demanded for the electrical model in the concrete slab track. Also, we computed the position and capacitance of the compensation capacitor about 2040[Hz], 2400[Hz], 2760[Hz], 3120[Hz] which currently is the track circuit frequency in the Gyeongbu rapid transit railway and demonstrated the validity of it, using the Matlab and PSpice program.

고속철도 차량기지에는 고전압임펄스(HVITC)와 AF 궤도회로를 사용하고 있다. HVITC는 열차의 위치검지 및 궤도 절손검지 기능을 하고, AF궤도회로는 열차제어 정보를 전송하여 고속열차의 이상 유무를 검지하는 출발 전 시험에 사용한다. 두 궤도회로는 별도로 구성되어 있고, 같은 레일을 사용하여 제어신호를 스위칭에 의해서 전송하고 있다. AF 궤도회로는 루프케이블을 궤도 안쪽에 설치하는 방법으로 구성할 수 있다. 그러면 스위치를 제거할 수 있고, 상시 시험용 제어신호를 전송할 수 있다. 이 경우에 두 궤도회로는 상호간섭이 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 두 궤도회로를 동시에 동작하는 경우에 발생되는 간섭을 두 회로의 모델링을 통하여 규명하였다.

지금까지 궤도회로는 레일을 전기회로의 일부로 사용하여 열차의 위치 검지용으로만 사용하였으나 철도차량이 고속화 되면서, 지상신호의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 차상신호시스템의 사용이 일반화 되어가고 있다. 궤도회로의 전원은 직류나 고전압 임펄스를 사용하던 방식에서 가청주파수를 사용하는 고주파 교류궤도회로의 사용이 일반화 되고 있다. 철도도상도 환경과 궤도의 유지보수성 개선을 위하여 철근콘크리트 도상의 사용이 증대되고 있다. 철근 콘크리트 도상에서 고주파 교류궤도회로를 사용할 경우 도상의 내구성 향상을 위하여 사용되는 수많은 격자모양의 철근들로 인하여 전기적 절연에 의한 누설전류가 아닌 자기결합에 의한 손실로 인한 궤도정수의 변화를 초래할 수 있다. 본 논문은 철근콘크리트도상에서 AF(Audio Frequency)궤도회로를 사용하였을 경우 도상 철근에 의한 궤도회로신호의 영향과 손실을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 알아보고 이를 방지할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.

A track-circuit device exploits two rails as a conductor of an electrical circuit. It detects the presence or absence of the trains with variation of received level when wheel sets of the train shunt rails together. So, it plays an important role in train operation. Non-insulated audio frequency(AF) track-circuit device can separate the rails into tracks by insulated joints without physically cutting the rails. And it transmits AF signals at track boundary, of which frequency is different between adjacent tracks. It has been employed at station-to-station section of domestic high speed rail, general rail, and subway. But It was not used at station yard of complicated general railway where lots of branches exist. In this paper, we consider current development status of non-insulated AF track-circuit device for the use of station yard.

This paper presents the operating characteristic of high voltage impulse(HVI) track circuit owing to the ill-contact of impedance bond lead wire. The characteristic operations of the track include rail voltage and current. Measurements are carried out using oscilloscope with current probe and it analyzed the abnormal operation due to connector of protective wire. Finally, suitable track circuit is proposed for conventional line, and operating characteristic of HVI track circuit is affected by bypass circuit.

We studied on performance improvement of TTM(TI21 Test Meter) that is test and diagnosis devices for jointless audio frequency track circuit on Korean electric railway TI21 standard. Upgraded devices is AD-TTM(Advanced TI21 Test Meter). This can measure alternating frequency USB(Upper signal band) and LSB(Lower signal band). In the audio frequency track circuit, ${\pm}17[Hz]$ of nominal frequency are demodulated and supplied to track relay through AND gate. It is important that measurement function which is error between USB and LSB. Need of AD-TTM will stand out in the electric railway system because this is simple and accurate rather than the former device.

Electric power used in electrical vehicles flows into the substation through the feedback circuit, track circuit. Due to these power conversion equipments in electrical railroads, return current contains harmonics, and it should not affect other communication lines. In this paper, based on the return currents, we measured harmonics and analyzed an influence in railway equipments due to the harmonics. For analysis, we utilize the measured values of return currents measured in track circuits, and predictive values of those compared to the earth methods between the existing electrified sections. Applying the regulations used for Gyeongbu HSL(High Speed Line), the results of measured harmonics have found to be acceptable.
