Abstract

Train speed control is a vital part of train protection to build safe movement at an operation track. There is a special condition of track that needs more attention to protect the train, for example in slope area. Moreover, in developing country with vandalism problem, it requires to install minimalized equipment on the trackside. In addition, in tropical country, on tracksides it will be potentially pooling water that influences to the performance of trackside equipment. To address these problems, we propose the train speed control for slope area using infrared system. By installing on the pole configuration, the system offers a less challenging, economically sensible, minimalized installation of equipment on the trackside and reliability for heavy rain environment. This paper concentrates on the controlling train speed and measurement performance evaluation in slope area. The proposed train speed control system can monitor and control the speed in sloping area with maximum 3.6% and controlled speed about 20 km per h.

열차 속도 제어는 운영 트랙에서 안전 운동을 구축하기 위한 열차 보호의 중요한 일부분이다. 경사진 면적과 같은 열차를 보호하는 데 필요한 트랙의 특수한 조건이 있다. 더욱이 반달리즘 문제를 가진 개도국에서 특수한 조건은 트랙 사이드의 장비를 최소화하기 위한 설치가 요구된다. 더욱이 열대 국가에서 트랙 사이드는 수질에서 트랙 사이드 장비의 성능에 영향을 줄 것으로 보인다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 적외선 시스템을 이용하여 경사진 면적에 대하여 열차 속도 제어를 제안한다. 전주 배열의 설치에 의해 이 시스템은 보다 적은 도전, 경제적인 민감성, 트랙 사이드의 장비의 최소 설치와 강우 환경에서 신뢰성을 제공한다. 본 논문은 경사진 면적에서 성능 평가를 측정하고 열차 속도를 제어하는데 중점을 준다. 제안한 열차 속도 제어 시스템은 시간 당 약 20km의 제어속도와 최대 3.6%의 경사진 면적에서 속도 제어와 감시가 가능하다.
