Turnout is one of railroad track components. The turnout is used to change train routes to near other sections when keeping the train speed. There are many accidents in the section including the turnout. The number of accidents and errors is 363 for ten years in the section including the turnout and annual average is 36.3. To ensure safety of the turnout, it is necessary to install monitoring systems. By using the monitoring systems, it is able to accumulate related information, develop maintenance and take a step for accidents in advance. Hence, The number of accidents and errors is decreased in the section including the turnout. So, when new turnout is installed, it is needed to use monitoring systems. Therefore, combined turnout management system is needed in Korea. It is possible to perform efficient maintenance because real-time monitoring system by using sensors and data-base management system. In this paper, accidents in the section including domestic turnout are analyzed and foreign combined turnout management system is presented. Hence, articles for installing the combined turnout management system in Korea are proposed.

A turnout system which permits trains to pass from one track to another consists of the switch, the crossing, lead rails which are necessary to connect the switch and the crossing, two guard rails and a switch machine for operating the switch. A turnout is the sole moving part among the railway components and has complex configuration, so the safety has always been raised an issue. In Korea, it is planned to adopt the high speed tilting train, which operates at the maximum speed of 180km/h, at conventional lines by the year of 2010. However, for the application of the tilting train to conventional lines, it is prerequisite to establish a stable turnout system allowing the tilting train to pass through it without reducing speed. Therefore, the improved turnout system for the speed-up of conventional lines has been developed and the prototype of the turnout system has been constructed. In this study, evaluation of noise characteristics around the improved turnout system was performed through the field measurements. Field measurements of noise around the conventional and the high-speed turnout system were also carried out for the comparison.

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.

Most equipments which are used to measure the switching power of the turnout depend on imports. As the data is limited to the measurements of the switching power, it is said that the equipment is insufficient to check the errors of the turnout and the electrical point machine, and set up the data for operating and maintenance. We studied not only measurements of the switching power of all turnout being used in domestic but also the development of the turnout performance total analysis equipment which can measure switching time, voltage, and current etc. at the same time. Considering that switching power of the turnout is the most basic element to check the irregularities of the turnout, in this paper, we analyzed the irregularities of the turnout through correlation between switching power of the turnout, voltage, and current of the electrical point machine. Also we performed test in commercial railway line where the turnout of MJ81 type and NS type was installed. And it is said that the test results can be used as basic technologies for ICT based real-time diagnosis and monitoring of the turnout.

철도의 분기기 시스템은 철도에서 가장 중요한 시스템 중 하나로서, 차량의 진로를 설정한다. 분기기 시스템은 철도에서 가장 취약한 시스템 중 하나이며, 건전성을 유지하기 위해서 지속적인 관리가 필요하다. 분기기 진단 시스템은 분기기의 열화 상태를 자동적으로 측정할 수 있다. 분기기 시스템을 진단하기 위해서, 기존의 분기기 점검절차와 분기기에서 나타나는 물리적 특성을 규명하였다. 도출된 측정항목을 이용하여, 적절한 센서들을 선정하고, 영업노선에 설치하여, 데이터를 수집하였다. 본 논문에서는 분기기와 같이 열악한 환경에서 센서의 강건성과 데이터 획득에 대한 잡음 간섭 여부를 판단하였다.

분기기 시스템은 기존선의 속도향상을 저해하는 요소들 중에 하나이며, 우리나라에서는 안전을 위하여 분기기 직선측 통과속도를 130km/h로 제한하고 있어 기존선 속도향상을 위해서는 반드시 개선되어야할 사항이다. 본 연구에서는 기존 및 개량 분기기 궤도 성능을 평가 기 위해 동적윤중 현장계측 데이터를 이용하여 충격계수가 산정되었으며, 수치해석을 이용하여 분기기 하부 노반의 지지력을 평가하였다. 그 결과 분기기 개선에 따른 노반응력 저감효과를 확인 할 수 있었으며, 기존 및 개량 분기기에서 발생한 노반응력은 허용지지력 이하로 나타났다.

철도에 사용되고 있는 분기기는 중요한 시스템 중 하나이다. 분기기 시스템의 건전성은 철도운용 안정성에 매우 중요하다. 분기기 시스템을 진단하기 위하여, LVDT와 accelerometer를 분기기에 설치하였다. LVDT는 분기기에서 변위가 발생하는 부분에 설치하여, 분기기의 이동과 차량의 주행에서 발생되는 변위를 측정하였다. Accelerometers는 충격과 진동이 발생하는 부분에 설치하여 충격량과 진동을 측정하였다. 측정된 데이터를 이용하여 변수화를 위한 데이터를 추출하였으며, 이 변수들은 진단에 사용하였다. 진단 알고리즘은 확률분포와 인공신경망을 사용하였다. 변수화된 값이 확률분포를 이용하여 판단할 수 있으면 확률분포를 사용하였으며, 형태를 보고 판단할 필요가 있으면 인공신경망을 활용하였다. 본 논문에서는 정상적인 상태에서 데이터를 측정하여, 정상상태의 조건을 위한 학습을 수행하였다.

This study has been performed to develop the practical method to estimate the change of dynamic characteristics of rolling stocks passing on the high speed turnout system. Each part of turnout system are modeled in consideration of alignment, enter angle and amount of deflection and they are used to achieve dynamic analysis with a train model. Analysis results are compared with test results to confirm its validation
