무선통신기반 열차제어시스템의 통신성능평가를 위한 로밍시뮬레이터 개발에 관한 연구

This paper assesses communication performance using a roaming simulator when roaming occurs between onboard and ground wireless communication devices for communication based train control system (CBTC). Generally, CBTC is defined as the system regularly collecting location and speed data from each train, transmitting distance information to a train, and optimizing train speed according to train performance. When a train is moving, roaming is also performed to continuously transmit and receive train control information between the ground controller and the train. To operate CBTC, packet loss rate should be less than 1%, roaming time less than 100ms during roaming. We developed a roaming simulator to check communication performance before installing ground and onboard equipments on actual wireless sections. The roaming simulator to be introduced in this paper is for roaming simulation before conducting CBTC field test, which is the project to develop Urban Rail Signaling System Standards, being conducted in KRRI. The simulation consists of one onboard wireless communication device and three ground wireless communication devices, and the roaming simulator estimate packet loss rate occurring during roaming process of the two devices. Therefore, if you use the roaming simulator before the field test, you can predict various problems to occur in actual environment and reduce time, cost and people necessary to resolve these problems.

본 논문에서는 무선통신기반 열차제어시스템을 위한 지상무선통신장치와 차상무선통신장치사이에 로밍시 통신성능을 평가하기 위해 개발한 로밍시뮬레이터를 소개한다. 일반적으로 무선통신기반 열차제어시스템이라 하면 지상에 위치하는 제어장치가 각 열차로부터 위치와 속도를 주기적으로 수집하고, 선행열차와 속도 제한 지점까지의 거리정보를 열차로 전송하고, 차상의 제어장치가 열차성능에 맞는 최적의 속도제어를 수행하는 시스템으로 정의된다. 열차의 이동시 지상의 제어장치와 열차제어정보 송수신을 위하여 연속적으로 통신을 하기 위해 로밍이 이루어진다.
