For the train positioning system currently applied in high-speed MAGLEV train systems, it is classified into absolute positioning systems which discontinuously detect train positions, and relative positioning systems which continuously detect train positions. In this paper we analyze the configuration model and the numerical model of the absolute positioning system applied in TRANSRAPID which is a representative high-speed MAGLEV train, and design the two configuration models specific to the recognition structures of absolute positioning systems. We also verify the compatibility of the design models of absolute positioning system through simulation using MATLAB and propose the optimal configuration model of absolute positioning systems for high-speed MAGLEV train system.

재래식 철바퀴 철도에서는 바퀴가 레일을 단락시킴으로써 열차의 위치를 알아낼 수 있으나 자기부상식 철도나 고무타이어식 철도에서는 이런 단락회로를 얻을 수 없기 때문에 공간적으로 분리된 유도무선식에 의한 위치검지가 채택되고 있다. 유도무선방식에 의한 열차위치검지는 자기부상식이나 고무타이어식 철토에서만이 이용되는 것이 아니라 열차의 보다 정밀한 위치정보를 얻기 위하여 철바퀴식 철도에서도 사용될 수 있는 범용적인 위치검지방식이다. 따라서 이 방식에 대한 연구가 지속되어 재래식 철도와 자기부상식 철도에서 공통으로 사용될 수 있는 신호시스템으로 개발되기를 바란다.

철도에서 열차를 검지하기 위해 기본적으로 궤도회로를 사용하지만 CBTC와 같이 지상의 신호설비의 감소 과정에서 기존의 궤도회로 대신 차축카운터와 같은 방법으로 열차 검지 방법이 변화하고 있다. 차축카운터는 불연속 열차검지 방식을 사용하며, 불연속 열차검지 시스템에서 사용하는 열차검지센서는 자기장의 변화를 이용한 비접촉식 열차 검지 센서를 사용한다. 하지만 센서의 위치가 정확하게 위치하지 못하면 열차검지에 문제가 발생하게 되어 중요한 열차 검지 기능에 이상이 발생한다. 따라서 센서의 설치위치 변화를 검지하고 이를 확인할 수 있는 회로에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

Traditionally, the track circuits have been used for the purpose of train locating. However, the recent train control systems like a CBTC(Communications Based Train Control) do not utilize the track circuits to minimize the amount of ground signal devices. Therefore, there are increasing concerns over the system that can locate the position of train exactly without using the track circuits. Then, the contactless locating methods are added to ensure safety when the shunting sensitivity of the track circuit becomes low for the existing sections equipped with the track circuits. In this paper, a prototype of train locating device has been designed and tested, which utilizes the current phase difference upon magnetic field variation. The results show improved features of this method over the conventional track circuits method.

Train positioning detection information is fundamental for high-speed railroad inspection, making it possible to simultaneously determine the status and evaluate the integrity of railroad equipment. This paper presents the results of measurements and an analysis of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) used as a positioning detection sensors. Acceleration and angular rate measurements from the IMU were analyzed in the amplitude and frequency domains, with a discussion on vibration and train motions. Using these results and GPS information, the positioning detection of a Korean tilting train express was performed from Naju station to Illo station on the Honam-line. The results of a synchronized analysis of sensor measurements and train motion can help in the design of a train location detection system and improve the positioning detection performance.

무선통신기반의 이동폐색방식 열차제어시스템에서는, 열차위치를 폐색구간 단위로 검지하지 않고 실제 위치를 점단위로 검지하는 방식을 취하기 때문에, 종래와 같이 궤도회로에 의한 폐색구간 단위로 열차위치를 표시할 수 없게 된다. 이와 같이 궤도회로를 사용하지 않는 이동-폐색방식 열차제어시스템에서 현시 전개도를 통하여 열차운행상황을 나타내는 방안을 제시하였다.

최근 무선통신기반 열차제어시스템의 국산화 개발이 진행 중에 있으며, 이동폐색 및 열차간격의 효율적인 제어를 위해서는 열차에 서 직접 열차의 이동위치와 속도를 정확하게 실시간으로 파악할 수 있어야 한다. 하지만 기존 철도시스템에서는 열차의 위치 및 속도확인을 위해 궤도회로와 타코메터를 이용하고 있으며, 효율적인 열차제어를 위해 지상설비의 도움없이 안전하고 정확한 열차위치정보의 확보가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 위성항법수신기, 관성센서, 도플러레이더센서, 타코메터와 같이 열차에 탑재 가능한 위치 및 속도센서를 통합 적용하여 단독으로 열차 위치 및 속도파악이 가능한 차상기반 열차위치검지 장치를 구성하고, 한국형 틸팅열차 탑재시험을 통해 위치정확성을 평가하고 철도운영 환경에서의 적용성을 확인한다.

For a thorough train control, the precise train position detection is necessarily required. The widely used current way for train position detection is the one of using track circuits. The track circuit has a simple structure, and has a high level of reliability. However trains can be detected only on track circuits, which have to be installed on all ground sections, and much amount of cost for its installation and maintenance is needed. In addition, for the track circuit, only discontinuous position detection is possible because of the features of the closed circuit loop configuration. As the recent advances in telecommunication technologies and high-tech vehicle-based control equipments, for the train position detection, the method to detect positions directly from on trains is being studied. Vehicle-based position detection method is to estimate train positions, speed, timing data continuously, and to use them as the control information. In this paper, the features of GPS navigation and DR navigation are analyzed, and the navigation filters are designed by constructing vehicle-based train position detection method by combining GPS navigation and DR navigation for their complementary cooperation, and by using kalman filter. The position estimation performance of the proposed method is also confirmed by simulations.

This paper presents a $4{\times}1$ beam-forming reader antenna system for a new type of RFID based train position detection technology. The required beamwidth of the reader antenna is analytically expressed for different train speeds. The proposed antenna system consists of four rectangular patch elements and two switching couplers which are designed, without any impedance matching networks, for two different antenna modes. The switching coupler is a rectangular quadrature coupler with Pin diodes connecting its center line and the ground plane. The beamwidth of the antenna when the diodes are off and on is $18^{\circ}$ and $39^{\circ}$, respectively. The proposed antenna system will be used for a real train test in the near future.
