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.

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.

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.

Recently, The TCN(Train Communication Network} as the distributed control systems for electric vehicles, which is the international standard of the intra vehicle communication, actively recognizes variations and supports reconfiguration of the train network when a vehicle is separated or recombined. The technique of reconfiguration to take variety and interoperability of a vehicle constitution is used when the vehicle constitution is changed. At the time, each node making up vehicle network shares the information about the variation of vehicle constitutions and the state of nodes. In the hierarchical TCN structure, an exchange of data becomes available as a work to transmit information between components is performed at the node playing a role of gateway. This paper proposes a protocol to transmit the information of the train reconfiguration. The protocol gives an application to renew a list for transmitting information and to perform the transmission that can guarantee periodic and non-periodic data transmission between nodes when the network nodes changed by a variation of the network state are reconfigured. If use this protocol, can use functions that are offered in the electric railcar at the same time that composition of vehicles is completed without delay. And when driver of the electric railcar inspect before running of vehicles, can confirm state of vehicles visually through monitor in driver's room.

This paper presents the implementation for a network structure of railway cars using a point to point communication. Most of network's representative specifications for a train are the FIP (Field Bus), MVB (Multifunction Vehicle Bus), CAN and WTB (Wire Train Bus) which is used by ALSOM, SIEMENS and BOMBADIER as major in this field. These networks in a physical layer use a multi-drop method, connected from $1^{st}$ car to $n^{th}$ car of a train through a cable without any extra services such as an electric part, amplifier. However waveforms which is passed through a long cable in the multi-drop are distorted by a capacitance or resistance of the cable or environments. Also since using a cable connected directly from $1^{st}$ car to $n^{th}$ car, if over two trains make double head, it isn't easy to distinguish ID for each railway cars. So by using the point to point network per each car, it is able to reduce a distortion. Also since reducing distortion, this communication speed can be been higher and transmit and receive any packets more stably. Using proposed token in a packet, this can make ID per each railway car automatically. Finally experimental results show the good performance and effectiveness of the proposed method.

A few years ago, The trains had little control equipment so the trains had little data transmission between control equipment. Recently, there is a lot of control equipment in a train as traction control, air conditioners and even internet access. for this reason, vehicle network must allow for the big amount of transmission data and must ensure the high reliability. In this paper we present monitering system for verify high reliability of data transmission of MVB of TCN which is an international standard of IEC 61375.

철도는 대규모 승객 수송과 운행서비스를 제공하는 공공교통수단으로 시스템의 신뢰성과 안전성의 확보가 최우선적으로 요구된다. 철도차량의 배선은 제어신호선과 통신선으로 분류되며, 제어신호선은 차량주행 및 안전기능과 관련된 입출력 신호를, 통신은 방송 등 승객서비스에 대한 입출력신호에 사용되고 있다. 철도차량 신뢰성확보 방안 중 한 가지 방법으로 차량내 전장장치간 제어신호의 입출력 인터페이스로 train line을 적용됨에 따라, 제어회로 구성을 위하여 릴레이, 컨택터 등의 전기기계식 소자가 다수 적용되어 있다. 실제로 편성 내 차량제어논리가 수 천 접점으로 구성됨에 따라 접점 불량 등 고장시 오류확인이 어렵고, 실시간 상태확인이 불가능함에 따라 정기적인 유지보수에 많은 인력과 시간이 투입되어야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 국내 철도차량내 주행 및 안전기능과 관련된 전장품의 제어기간 제어신호선 설계현황(종류, 복잡도)을 분석하고, 설계를 단순화하여 제작양산성과 유지보수 효율성을 향상시키기 위한 3가지 제어배선절감 방안을 제안하였다. 적용결과 국내 4량 1편성의 전동차에 적용시, 약 35% 이상의 배선절감 효과를 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 철도화물 물류 효율화를 위한 유선 분산제어시스템과 무선 분산제어시스템 구성방안을 제안하고, 유선 분산제어시스템에 대한 검증을 수행하였다. 검증조건은 화물차량 50량을 연결하여 부산신항에서 진례역까지 21km를 평균속도 약 100km/h로 왕복 운행하였다. 검증결과는 분산중련에 의하여, 제어차와 피제어차의 견인출력과 제동출력이 분산됨을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 분산제어 적용시 기존 화물수송의 2배이상의 물류효율성향상을 기대할 수 있다. 다만, 유선 분산제어시스템의 경우 케이블 포설 및 유지보수가 어려우며, 화물차량의 편성 변경조성이 불가능한 단점이 있다. 유선 분산제어시스템의 검증을 통하여 국내 화물차량에 분산제어시스템 적용가능성을 확인하고, 이를 발전시켜 무선분산제어시스템 적용하기 위함이다. 무선 분산제어시스템 적용을 위하여, 검증구간에 ISM 대역에 대한 전파환경분석을 수행하였고, 그 결과, 해당 구간에 ISM 대역에 Wifi 기술 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다. 또한 대상 차량에 신규 설치되는 WDP(Wireless Distributed Power) 장치 적용을 위하여 추진/제동/종합제어장치와의 송수신 제어신호에 대하여 정의하였다. 무선 분산제어시스템의 경우, 적용과 운용의 편의성이 보장되지만, 차량의 제어를 무선에 의존함에 따라 신뢰도와 비상시 안전대책 수립이 선행되어야 한다.
