The most generally implemented method to detect the ground speed of the railway vehicles is to use the rotary type speed sensor attached to wheel axle. The Slip or sliding phenomenon on the railway vehicles occurs frequently caused by the weak viscosity of the wheel. Thus, precisely to control the car, the slip/sliding detection system is required. In this paper we proposed for the speed data management system, which uses rotary type speed sensor. Proposed speed management system can detect the slip/sliding with wheel axle as well as correct the generated speed error during in error time, to provide accurate speed and precise location data. The effectiveness for adapting to the railway system is clarified by the computer simulation.

The track circuit carries out a train detection using a electrical closed loop, and incidentally it detects the rail rupture using the track circuit current flowing rail. However, in the case of the axle counter or the Radio based train control system, it requires a new way for detecting the rail rupture because of not using the track circuit. To solve this problem, it periodically checks non-steady state of rail by the track inspection car. but real-time detection of the rail rupture is impossible. Therefore, this paper analyzed feasibility to realize a real-time detection of rail rupture by using the return current.

A new method is developed to estimate road profile in order to estimate IRI based on the ASTM standard. This method utilizes an accelerometer and a Dynamic Tire Pressure Sensor (DTPS) to estimate road roughness. The accelerometer measures the vertical axle acceleration. The DTPS, which is mounted on the tire's valve stem, measures dynamic pressure inside the tire while driving. Calibrated transfer functions are used to estimate road profile using the signals from the two sensors. A field test was conducted on roads with different quality conditions in the city of Brockton, MA. The IRI values estimated with this new method match the actual road conditions measured with Pavement Condition Index (PCI) based on the ASTM standard, images taken from an onboard camera and passengers' perceptions. IRI has negative correlation with PCI in general since they have overlapping features. Compared to the current method of IRI measurement, the advantage of this method is that a) the cost is reduced; b) more space is saved; c) more time is saved; and d) mounting the two sensors are universally compatible to most cars and vans. Therefore, this method has the potential to provide continuous and global monitoring the health of roadways.

현재 AVC 장비의 운영방법은 하나의 센서가 고장 나면 해당 차로의 교통량 속도 차량 종류에 대한 모든 정보의 생성을 중단하고 있다. 현재의 운영방법은 정상 센서에서 수집한 자료들을 활용하지 않는다는 비효율이 존재한다. 본 연구는 이런 비효율을 개선하기 위하여 일부 센서가 고장 난 AVC (Automatic Vehicle Classification)장비에서 교통량과 속도의 산출 방법에 대하여 연구를 진행하였다. 센서의 고장유형을 총 4가지로 분류하였으며, 각 고장유형별로 교통량과 속도를 산출하고 이에 대한 정확도분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 교통량은 정확도가 매우 높은 값(정확도: 100%, 98%, 97%)으로 산출이 가능하였으며, 속도의 경우 충분히 받아들일 만한 수준의 속도 값(RMSE 값 16.9 이하)이 산출되는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시한 방법론들을 사용하면 AVC 장비의 운영 효율을 증가 시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
