A Train control system is intended to assure train operation safety and to improve train operation efficiency. To perform these missions, the Train Control System consists of train safety space control part, train route control part and train operation management part. Train control technology changed from track circuit based to wireless based. And Wireless based train control technologies were developed by some railway signaling companies in Korea. To commercialize these control technologies, the development project is carried now. This project did analyze system requirements, and made the system development specification. Now this project finished system functions allocation, which will be performed by some subsystem. This paper describes roles of each function and the allocation of these functions to each subsystem.

Wireless communication for train control is an active research field. The World Railway Federation in Europe developed GSM-R, which integrates the GSM-based voice call standard and train control signals. To provide advanced railway services, the LTE-R wireless communication system was developed in Korea for passenger services and wireless image information required by the railroad industry. Recently, direct communication technology for autonomous train driving has been studied to decrease the driving interval, and research is being conducted on a hyperloop train control system that runs at a maximum speed of 1,220km/h in a subvacuum environment of 0.001 atmosphere. In this paper, we summarize the trends in wireless communication technologies used for GSM-R/LTE-R railway systems. For future wireless communication in railway systems, we discuss autonomous train driving and the hyperloop railway control system, define wireless communication technology, and discuss trends in domestic and foreign technologies.

According to the conventional train control system, the area of each train is detected by plural track circuits located in a constant distance on railway lines in order to control a distance between trains. The conventional train control system has the difficulty in making use of the substructure thoroughly and transmitting enormous amount of information. To solve those problems, the wireless CBTC system has been a global issue. To apply wireless CBTC system to train system, the following two requirements are preferentially necessary: (1) Dualizing wireless CBTC system to control trains ceaselessly in a system accident, (2) Improving dependency of transmitted information for location and velocity to protect collision and derailment of lightweight trains in advance.

The train control is a facility to ensure safe train operation, and its safety is the most important factor to determine whether introduced in railway authorities. Therefore, in order to improve practical usability in the business, safety analysis and evaluation of train control system and train control related core technologies are needed. In this paper, we develop wireless communication based train separation control simulator, the simulator traces trains in real-time, and produces train movement authorities with their position and speed information, and then calculates static and dynamic speed profiles. Trains in the simulator are controlled in real-time by these profiles. In the paper, simulator configuration, train control algorithm and simulation results under simulated environment are presented.

This paper gives a basic data of improving the performance of railroad signalling equipment by adopting GPS and wireless telecommunication technologies. These approach enable the moving block control of train, which can optimize train operation by reducing the distance between trains and maximize the railroad capacity. These method of detecting train position and controling train movement can also improve the train route control at stations.

CBTC (Communication Based Train Control) is a railroad system, using wireless communication for data transmission between on-board units and ground units, that makes ground computer periodically collect position and speed data from each train and transmits the preceding train's distance data up to speed limit point so as to make on-board control unit control the optimum train speed. Due to the fact that wireless communication system for train control employs only limited frequency band and output frequency, a number of ground communication units should be installed at track-side; also a running train should carry out Handover function which maintains the communication by accessing a new communication channel of the adjacent on-board communication units in accordance with the output of received radio wave. Especially CBTC is largely dependent on Handoff function between ground communication units. Therefore, this paper provides the method of identification of hazard between ground communication units and on board units.

In the system necessary for safety such as the train control system, to make train control information be sent correctly is very important to enable organic movement between trains. In the case of the system such as RF-CBTC (Radio Frequency Communication Based Train Control) the control related information is sent through wireless transmission between on-board system of a train and wayside transmitter. The wayside transmitter collects the running information such as location, velocity from the on-board system and operates the optimizing control by sending the control information such as the target, limited velocity to the on-board system. But, when the communication disconnect or train failure, the critical hazard such as train collision or derailment may be possible because the RF-CBTC depends on the information through wireless communication. This paper discribes of performing Fall-Back system to detect train position in the case of rail break or communication failure to avoid train accident and allows train to be operated safely. It can be implemented with ATP function through track circuits using active-type transformers and axle counters, and allows train to be operated manually in emergency status.

열차제어네트워크(TCN)는 현재 단순 제어 기능을 넘어 멀티미디어 등 승객 서비스를 지원하기 위하여 이더넷(Ethernet)을 지원할 수 있어야 한다. 그래서 최근 International Electronical Committee(IEC)는 기존의 TCN 표준인 IEC 61375를 개정하여 Ethernet Train Backbone(ETB), Ethernet Consist Network(ECN)를 포함하였다. 특히 ETB에서는 열차 구성이 자동으로 되는 열차 차량 가변편성 통신규약(TTDP)이 포함되었다. 한편 차세대 온 보드 네트워크로서 무선랜을 사용할 경우, TTDP는 무선 통신의 특성에 맞도록 수정되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 송신전력을 제어하며 RSS 값과 HELLO 프레임에 대한 ACK 프레임의 수신 횟수를 이용하여 이웃 노드를 찾는 무선 TTDP를 제안한다. 그리고 대역폭이 다른 두 무선 랜 인터페이스를 사용하여 실행된 TTDP의 옳고 그름의 유무를 판정한다. 제안된 TTDP는 불필요한 다른 노드와의 간섭을 줄일 수 있도록 한다. 성능평가를 위해 무선 네트워크 시뮬레이션에서 가장 많이 쓰이는 NS-2를 사용하였다. 평가 결과, 제안된 TTDP가 무선에서도 높은 신뢰도를 보였다.

To study the feasibility of applying wireless communication technology to the control of train for the effective control of train and for the reduction of cost and time to construct the necessary infra structure, we investigate into the application of the existing commercial WCDMA network to CBTC (communication-based train control) to grasp the obstacles and propose the solutions to circumvent them. The obstacles can be categorized into the hand-off problem, the interference problem near the stations, and the problem of radio shadow areas. We propose, as solutions, the cell overlap method and multi-terminal approach for the hand-off problem, the cell sectoring method for the interference problem, and establishment of new base stations along the railroad both to provide the wireless train control and communication service to the customers on the train which was otherwise impossible because of the shadowing effect.
