  • The ATS system is used to provide wayside signaling. Currently, the oscillation frequency is set at 78[kHz] in the normal state. As the on-board receiver crosses over the wayside transmitter, the oscillation frequency is changed by capacitors of the wayside transmitter in a manner dependent on the train speed. As the oscillation frequency is changed, the waveform is modified in the wayside transmitter as well as in the on-board receiver. When there are other signal systems such as a ATO system present near the wayside transmitter, frequency interference occurs. This phenomenon arises since other signals or communication frequencies present will be included in the waveform. Trains often stop due to these other frequencies included in the waveform. In this paper, a model of the interaction between the wayside transmitter and on-board receiver is suggested and frequency response in the wayside transmitter and on-board receiver in the presence of the other signals are estimated by the coupling coefficient. Also, the coupling coefficients are estimated, and the optimal value is proposed.

  • This study aims to analyze the concept and application of AI-based predictive maintenance in the railroad industry and draw implications from it. Focusing on the adoption of AI-based maintenance systems by the Korea Railroad Corporation and Seoul Metro, we examined how AI technology can improve the efficiency and safety of railroad operations. We also compared and analyzed the application of AI technology in the European railroad industry through the cases of Deutsche Bahn in Germany and SNCF in France. The study found that AI-powered predictive maintenance contributes to reducing the frequency of breakdowns, reducing maintenance costs, and increasing the reliability of railroad operations.

  • A high peak power demand at substations will result under Moving Block Signalling (MBS) when a dense queue of trains begins to start from a complete stop at the same time in an electrified railway system. This may cause the power supply interruption and in turn affect the train service substantially. In a recent study, measures of Starting Time Delay (STD) and Acceleration Rate Limit (ARL) are the possible approaches to reduce the peak power demand on the supply system under MBS. Nevertheless, there is no well-defined relationship between the two measures and peak power demand reduction (PDR). In order to attain a lower peak demand at substations on different traffic conditions and system requirements, an expert system is one of the possible approaches to procure the appropriate use of peak demand reduction measures ...

  • 비정형적인 방법에 의해 설계되어진 프로토콜은 불확실성과 오류를 내포하고 있을 수 있으며, 이러한 특성은 프로토콜의 안전성에 매우 심각한 영향을 미치게 된다. 또한 구형되어진 프로토콜 명세에 만족하게 구현되어졌는지를 확인하는 것 또한 프로토콜 엔지니어링에서 매우 중요한 부분이다. 즉, 프로토콜 명세의 정형검정과 적합성 시험은 프로토콜 개발 과정에서 매우 중요한 부분이다. 본 논문에서는 유한상태 레이블 천이시스템(LTS Labeled Transition System)으로 명세화된 철도 신호제어용 프로토콜 Type 1 모델에 대한 적합성 시험을 위하여 프로토콜 제어흐름을 IOFSM으로 모델링하였으며, 이 명세로부터 UIO 방법에 의한 적합성 시험계열 생성방법을 제시하였다. 또한, 프로토콜 검정 및 적합성 시험 방법을 실제 프로토콜의 정확성을 분석하는 데 사용할 수 있도록 프로토콜 검정기와 시험기를Windows 환경하에서 GUI기능에 의해 Window상에 구현되도록 하여 프로토콜 명세의 정확성을 평가할 수 있게 하였다.

  • A trial run of locally-developed tilting train has been in process on Chungbuk line since the test vehicle was first produced. For the system stabilization, interface verification among the systems including track, structure, catenary and signaling system, not to mention the rolling stock, is very crucial. Therefore, in this study, the dynamic rail force of the tilting (Hanvit 200), high-speed (KTX) and general (Mugunghwa) vehicle caused by driving in transition curve track was measured. And, it compared the tilting response with the other by using the measured rail force data in transition curve track, and then evaluated probability the range of load fluctuation for the variable dynamic vertical and lateral wheel load. As a result, a range of rail force by occurred a change of cant from the high-speed and general vehicle which had fixed bogie structure was distributed throughout small deviation. Otherwise, in case of the tilting train which was consisted of the pendulum bogie structure was distributed wide range about large deviation by changed of cant.

  • 철도 신호제어시스템은 철도의 선로변에 위치하면서 열차의 안전운행을 책임지는 매우 중대한 시스템이다. 이러한 신호제어장치들은 각자의 고유의 기능을 수행하면서 다른 제어장치들과 링크되어 하나의 신호제어시스템으로 구성되어진다. 요즘 철도신호시스템에 사용되는 각 장치들이 전자화되어감에 따라 철도신호장치들간 정보전송을 위한 네트워크에 대한 중요성이 증대되었다. 철도신호시스템과 같은 고신뢰성이 요구되는 시스템에서 실시간 요구조건과 신뢰도를 만족시킬 수 있는 네트워크 기술에 대한 필요성 또한 증대되고 있다. 가장 널리 쓰이는 기술인 이더넷은 프로토콜 자체의 랜덤 특성으로 인해 실시간 요구사항을 만족하지 못하였으나 최근 들어 스위치드 이더넷으로 진화하면서 산업용 제어시스템에 이더넷 기술이 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 스위치드 이더넷의 이론적 해석을 통해 철도신호시스템에 적용 가능성을 확인하였고, 네트워크에 결함발생 시 결함검지 및 회복 알고리즘이 포함된 높은 신뢰성을 가진 이더넷 기반 네트워크 알고리즘과 모의시험을 통한 그 성능을 분석하였다.

  • At the crossings of turnout systems, noise is generated by the impact of train on the connection points. However, rapid movement changes between rail and wheels on connection point are inevitable on existing turnout section which may cause safety concern as well as noise problem caused by repeated impact load by passing train. And given the turnout is a complicated system which combines various functions such as rolling stock, trackbed, signaling, communication and electrical system, it's very difficult to expect to improve the overall performance of the turnout in such a way of optimizing only particular part of such integrated system. Since the turnout is the only movable section among the integrated parts and has complicated structure that inevitably brings about quick and sudden movement, safety has been still put on the top of the list. This study was aimed at comparing and analyzing the noise data obtained around the turnout of existing railway, by categorizing them into tilting train, high speed train and traditional train, and by distance, speed and type of turnout. And based on the data measured, the forecast of noise level when tilting train accelerates around a turnout was conducted in the study.

  • A trial run of locally-developed tilting train has been in process on Chungbuk line since the test vehicle was first produced. For the system stabilization, interface verification among the systems including track, structure, catenary and signaling system, not to mention the rolling stock, is very crucial. In the area of wayside structure, the stability of track structure and train run shall be evaluated through the review of impact by increased speed by developed train on track structure. The study thus was intended to evaluate the impact on track while a tilting train is running the conventional line(ballast track), which is vulnerable to accelerated train speed. The evaluation of tilting train test running the part of Honam line was conducted to identify the impact on existing track performance by tilting train. To identify the performance of each part of track components while tilting train and high speed train were running the existing line, wheel load, rail bending stress, vertical displacement of rail and sleeper were compared so as to evaluate the expected impact by tilting train for improving the train speed.
