본 논문에서는 경량전철시스템 기술개발사업에서 개발하고자하는 차량시스템, 신호제어시스템, 전력공급시스템 및 선로구축불의 목표신뢰도를 정의하였다. 이 목표신뢰도의 배분은 국내지하철의 고장유형 및 철도분야에 축적되어있는 고장율을 바탕으로 작성되었다. 특히, 차량시스템분야는 보다 자세히 목표신뢰도를 배분하였다. 이러한 목표신뢰도 배분을 통하여 경량전철 시스템의 각 개발단계마다 이루어지는 개발활동(설계, 제작 및 구매)의 검증을 수행하여야 신뢰성을 확보한 경량전철시스템개발이라는 궁극적인 목적을 달성할 수 있다. 목표신뢰도 배분에 맞추어 경량전철시스템개발동안 제동장치, 추진장치, 출입문장치, 제어장치 등 고장시 열차의 운행을 정지시킬 수 있는 구성품에 대한 신뢰도를 모델링하여 신뢰도 예측 및 분석하고 이에 맞추어 설계검증 및 보안을 한다. 또한 경량전철시스템의 시험선로에서의 주행시험을 통하여 국내 경량전철시스템에 적합한 신뢰도 기준을 마련하고자 한다.

철도 신호제어시스템은 철도의 선로변에 위치하면서 열차의 안전운행을 책임지는 매우 중대한 시스템이다. 이러한 신호제어장치들은 각자의 고유의 기능을 수행하면서 다른 제어장치들과 링크되어 하나의 신호제어시스템으로 구성되어진다. 요즘 철도신호시스템에 사용되는 각 장치들이 전자화되어감에 따라 철도신호장치들간 정보전송을 위한 네트워크에 대한 중요성이 증대되었다. 철도신호시스템과 같은 고신뢰성이 요구되는 시스템에서 실시간 요구조건과 신뢰도를 만족시킬 수 있는 네트워크 기술에 대한 필요성 또한 증대되고 있다. 가장 널리 쓰이는 기술인 이더넷은 프로토콜 자체의 랜덤 특성으로 인해 실시간 요구사항을 만족하지 못하였으나 최근 들어 스위치드 이더넷으로 진화하면서 산업용 제어시스템에 이더넷 기술이 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 스위치드 이더넷의 이론적 해석을 통해 철도신호시스템에 적용 가능성을 확인하였고, 네트워크에 결함발생 시 결함검지 및 회복 알고리즘이 포함된 높은 신뢰성을 가진 이더넷 기반 네트워크 알고리즘과 모의시험을 통한 그 성능을 분석하였다.

In this study, deflection limits based on the vibration serviceability of guideway structures are proposed considering maglev train-guideway interaction. Equations of motion are derived for a simplified maglev railway. Feedback constants for the control of the electromagnetic force for levitation are optimized in order to minimize the airgap fluctuations. Deflection limits for a guideway are calculated for various operating speeds of a maglev train, span lengths of a guideway, and natural frequencies and damping ratios of the second suspension in order to satisfy the serviceability criteria for airgaps and for the vertical acceleration of a cabin. From the analysis results, proposed are requirements for the second suspension of maglev trains and deflection limits for guideway structures.

An Electrical Point Machine (NS:New-type Switch), which is equipped and operated at railways in Korea, has been used since the 1960s after being imported from Japan. On the other hand, although the mechanical configuration has improved the position motor control circuit, the electrical connection has not been improved, so NS may have a problem, such as the interlocking system of automatic train operation. In addition, NS is the most vulnerable part in the railway system and a huge train accident may occur due to minor defects. The existing NS wiring set of the circuit controller should be checked only if fixed. Therefore, an excessive inspection time only by a Railroad Signal expert is required. In this paper, the improvement of electrical connection in a NS wiring set, such as the position motor control circuit, was developed and the prototype was installed at Seoul Metro in the distance to go section. The results can be used to help make appropriate adjustments. The improvement of the NS wiring set enhance the maintenance efficiency, passenger service and the stability of the signal system as well as reducing the maintenance cost.

In the current train operation system, large scaled stations like Cheongnyangni and Yongsan are not remote controlled from the central operator but manually by local operator. It is because there are so many entering and exit of trains between depot and mainline which are operating through the large scaled stations and it is very effective to traffic flow on the mainline. Therefore, Kyong Bong Technology Co., Ltd. (KBTech) and Korea Railway Research Institute (KRRI) are continuing the research and development to import 'Autonomous Decentralized System (ADS)'as part of a new train operation control system which is a national policy project of MOCT (Ministry Of Construction & Transportation). The concept of the 'Autonomous Decentralized System (ADS)' has born in 1970's in Japan by the influences of molecular biology. The special features of ADS are being a system that able to do the online expansion, online maintenance and fault tolerance. This thesis introduces the concept of technology of ADS and also describes the system designing & development to apply with large scaled stations.

인공지능(AI), 사물인터넷(IoT)등의 4차 산업기술은 철도안전의 핵심수단으로 부상하고 있으며 차량, 위험관리, 운행관리, 보안관리 등의 점진적인 적용분야 확장을 통해 철도안전에 대한 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안에 대한 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 IoT 기반의 다양한 철도인프라 데이터를 활용하여 열차주행상태에 영향을 줄 수 있는 이상상황 인식 모델 및 열차자율주행을 위한 제어기술에 필요한 정보로 인프라 상태를 제공하는 방식을 제안한다. 철도 인프라 상황인지에 필요한 데이터는 레일온도, 선로 지정물, 승객 수, 선로 적설량을 지정하였고, 제안 인식모델의 스게노 퍼지추론 방식을 적용한 후 철도차량 운전관련 취급규정 및 취급세척을 기반으로 퍼지규칙(Fuzzy Rule)을 15개 생성하였다. 인프라데이터셋을 활용하여 제안모델의 인식률 평가에 사용하였으며 인식률 결과는 약 86%의 정확성을 보였다. 퍼지추론 기반 방식의 철도인프라 이상상태 인식모델을 철도분야에 접목시킨다면 기존의 관제기반 방식보다 효율적인 철도인프라 상황인식이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Due to the evolution of wireless communications technology, Long Term Evolution (LTE), which is a $4^{th}$ generation mobile communications system, has been adopted as a railway communications system. This LTE Railway (LTE-R) system is composed of various elemental functions, which are largely categorized into public safety and wireless communications for train control. Research on the public safety functions of railway communications have their roots in TRS based national public safety communication systems, and research on wireless communications functions for train control have their roots GSM-R, which is utilized by the ETCS in Europe. Based on these circumstances, this paper first analyzes the requirements for developing public safety technology in LTE-R, and compares those requirements with the functions of public safety LTE (PS-LTE), which is being deployed for the first time in the world by the South Korean government. Based on an analysis of the common and specific functions of LTE-R and PS-LTE, we conclude that there is little problem in integrating LTE-R and PS-LTE from the perspective of functionality. Second, this paper provides a comparison of the LTE-R requirements for the Quality of Service (QoS) with those of GSM-R utilized by the ETCS. This offers a guideline to allow LTE-R to be applied to a 500km/h train control system.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Korea has been trying to spread integrated railway communication network technologies based on a major railway policy since 2012. As a result, the world's first commercial Long-Term Evolution - Railway (LTE-R) network was established on the Gangneung line (Manjong station - Gangneung station) and has been commercially operating as a railway communication system since 2017. Special function and performance requirements are needed for safe and efficient railway operations, such as group calls, emergency calls, functional addressing, and train control based on wireless communications. In this paper, we present functional and performance railway communications requirements that are based on European wireless railway communications systems. In addition, we measured communications characteristics and performance using a KTX field test on the Gangneung line to analyze the validity and reliability of the LTE-R network. Although the average Radio Frequency (RF) conditions were satisfied in the requirements, we found sudden communications quality degradation, such as Radio Link Failure (RLF) in some railway sections. We propose a way to improve performance and network installations based on in-depth analysis of LTE-R communications field-test results.

The purpose of this thesis is to construct the autonomous decentralized train traffic management structure using techniques of Autonomous Decentralized System. Currently, a method of train traffic control is making use of CTC(Centralized Traffic Control). Its operation method is divided into the remote mode and the local mode. The classified basis is according to the control authority of install signals in track side. In most cases, a large scale station is operated by the local mode. Because of dispatchers in center can not control the shunting works influence on the main route. In order to solve these problem s, we analyzed a current operation condition and system requirements. Moreover, this thesis is constructing autonomous decentralized train traffic management structure. Finally, this research proposed that interface with CTC and step-by-step construction.

Train operation simulation program models the railway facilities such as railway network configuration, railway parameters and signalling equipments, as well as the train performances such as traction performance, schedules, timetable. As the program can emulate exactly the train movements on the railway network by using computer simulation techniques, it can be applied to the optimization of the train operation plan and the reform of railway facilities. This paper provides a simulation case study which shows that we can simulate exactly the unusual situations of train traffic operation when train movements are disturbed by accidents, and also provide the effective countermeasure to minimize the train delays.
