As the usage of the electric power train increases, the importance of the control network between the electric control devices grows. IEC proposed a revision of IEC-61375, a standard of the networking among electric devices within a train, to adopt Ethernet as a backbone of train network. This paper performed the reliability analysis of three configurations of Ethernet-based networking within a electric power train that are recommended in IEC-61375 standard. The analysis results show that MTTF(mean time to failure) of the redundant configuration is 20,086 hours, which is a about 3 times longer than the linear configuration.

Train control and monitoring system for the railway train requires a reliable real-time communication network. The system have various functions, diagnostics, passenger informations, and fault-tolerant controls. For this system, an international standard called TCN(Train Communication Network) is proposed by IEC and the train industries. The TCN is composed of two layers, wire train bus(WTB) and multifunction vehicle bus(MVB). This paper evaluates the performance of the proposed WTB and modified WTB. And computer simulations are performed. The evaluated results can be used for the fault tolerant network in the railway train system.

This paper evaluates the real-time performance of the Train Communication Network (TCN) that consists of WTB and MVB. A run-time scheduling algorithm for the hard-real time communication was proposed and its performance was evaluated. Also, a new addressing method and the adaptive tree algorithm were suggested to enhance performance. The overall performance was evaluated by computer simulation using Arena.

CBTC(Communication Based Train Control) System has many superior train control performances than conventional track-circuit-based train control system with higher train operation efficiency, and less installation and maintenance cost. It is expected that CBTC will replace the conventional train control systems in near future. As CBTC has different mechanisms from conventional track-circuit-based train control systems in identifying train positions, and communicating information between train and ground facility, we have to pay a carful attention to making the interface between CBTC equipments and other signalling devices. This paper provides the construction of the interface between CBTC train-born equipment and other train control equipments including ATO, TCMS, brake controller, door controller.

This paper presents an optimization approach to the configuration of train radio communication network for CBTC. The target specifications of CBTC communication systems are derived from technical requirements for CBTC. The proposed communication system has a ring-topology backbone communication network between stations and a radio network based on IEEE 802.11b wireless tan between trains and wayside devices. The proposed method has been applied to the standardization of the signalling system of urban transits.

Safety-critical systems related to the railway communications are currently undergoing changes. Mechanical and electro-mechanical devices are being replaced by programmable electronics that are often controlled remotely via communication networks. Therefore designers and operators now not only have to contend with component failures and user errors, but also with the possibility that malicious entities are seeking to disrupt the services provided by theirs systems. This paper discusses the safety strategies employed in the railway communications and proposes a security mechanism for Korean railway communication system.

This paper presents a Train Communication Network simulator (TCNS) that can be used to evaluate the performance of TCN. TCN was accepted as the standard of the protocol for the communication network in trains. We carry out some simulation tests using the TCNS to show practical uses of the simulator. Results of some simulation tests are also reported. This paper presents a Train Communication Network simulator(TCNS) that can be used to evaluate the performance of TCN. TCN was accepted as the standard of the protocol for the communication network in trains. TCN of fieldbus was adopted as international standardization IEC 61375 in 1999. It has been operating on G7 train in korea. This paper developed TCNS(Train Communication Network simulator) as a simulator for performance evaluation. We can verify TCNS for preventing many kinds of occurring problems between the devices in data-communication. This study was developed TCNS as a simulator for the performance evaluation. We analyzed correlation between token, transmission data per paket and transmission speed of bus, through the TCNS, also analyzed result according to error rate of TCN. We carry out some simulation tests using the TCNS to show practical uses of the simulator. Results of some simulation tests are also reported.

열차 운행의 정확성과 안정성을 위하여 열차와 열차이동 주변환경 사이의 통신은 필수적인 요소이다. 열차 운행을 지원하기 위해서는 열차와 열차이동 주변 환경 사이에 측정/감시 등을 목적으로 사용되는 센서와 열차 간의 통신 구조와 성능의 분석이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이동 중에 있는 열차가 열차궤도 주변에 있는 각종 센서장치로부터 측정된 열차운행 및 환경 정보를 효과적으로 수신하고 이를 열차 데이터 관제 센터로 전송하는 LTE-R 기반의 철도 센서네트워크에 대한 성능을 분석하고 철도 센서 네트워크 구축에 필요한 구축 조건을 제시한다.

CBTC(Communication Based Train Control) System can improve train operation efficiency by realizing moving block system which makes a continuous train interval control in accordance with the position and speed of train. Adopting radio transmission to make a continuous detection of train position and transmit the control data from the ground to a train, CBTC needs dedicated train operation and control algorithm which should be quite different from the conventional track-circuit-based train control system. This paper provides a train operation display and control algorithm for CBTC system in making train interval control, train route control and train supervision. Signalling pattern diagram is devised to analyze the train interval control mechanism of moving block system, and interlocking logic is devised to represent the train route control mechanism of moving block system. For train supervision, train occupation status on railway are displayed by using the segment which virtually divide the whole railway. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the development of CBTC system for the standardized AGT(automatic guided transit) which is under construction now in Korea, and also can be applied to any other CBTC system.

최근의 철도차량은 안전성 향상 및 승객에의 멀티미디어 서비스 제공을 위해 광대역 열차통신네트워크를 설치하고 있다. 플라스틱 광섬유(POF)는 일반 광섬유에 비해 직경이 크고 내구성 및 유지보수성이 우수하기 때문에, 진동 및 온도변화가 큰 환경에서 운행하는 철도차량에 적합하다. 이에 따라, 철도차량내 모든 장치를 POF를 이용하여 All-IP 방식으로 접속하는 1Gbps급 열차통신네트워크를 구현하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 한국철도규격에 의거한 특성 시험을 통하여 POF가 철도차량의 진동 및 온도변화 환경에 적합하다는 것을 확인하였으며, POF 인터페이스를 갖는 전용의 Layer-2 스위치를 개발하였다. 개발된 Layer-2 스위치와 POF를 이용하여 시운전중인 도시철도차량에 1Gbps급 열차통신네트워크를 구성하고 데이터 전송률과 손실률을 측정하여 성능을 검증하였다. POF는 경제성도 우수하며, 향후 철도차량용 통신네트워크는 POF 기반으로 광대역화될 것으로 기대된다.
