The purpose of interlocking system was to prevent the route for a train being set up and its protecting signal cleared if there was already another, conflicting route set up and the protecting signal for that route cleared. Recently, the computer based control systems instead of conventional relays circuitry are widely used to industrial systems, therefore, interlocking system are rapidly changing from relay interlocking system to computer controlled interlocking system that control requirements of interlocking at junctions using electronic circuits. However, the reliability of interlocking logic for those systems are harder to demonstrate than in traditional relays circuitry because the faults or errors can not be analyzed and predicted to those systems, In this paper, by examine checking technique of computer controlled interlocking system, we will to acquire interlocking inspection algorithm and method for computer controlled interlocking system

Recently, the computer based control systems instead of conventional relays circuitry are widely used to industrial applications, and also those technology is available to railway signaling which are safety-critical systems. However, the safety and reliability of software for those systems are harder to demonstrate than in traditional relays circuitry because the faults or errors can not be analyzed and predicted to those systems. So, the safety problems are crucial more and more in computer based control system. In this paper, the GRAFCET(GRAphe Fonctionnel do Commande Etape/Transition) language is used as a analysis and verification tool for safety-critical interlocking logic. The general description for Grafcet notation are provided and the general modeling for interlocking logic is presented.

An interlocking equipment of railway signalling systems is manufactured with electrical devices and electrical interlocking equipment has been substituted for existing interlock equipment(relay sequential logic type). But interlock conditions are still generated from rail diagram and used to make Interlock Table manually. In order to make EIS(Electrical Interlock System) operate, we should write interlock data which is made from interlock table. But, as the station is larger and more complicated, handwork may becomes a very tediou work and makes more mistakes. Therefore the development of CAD system for Interlocking System is very significant, if CAD can reduce the mistakes from handwork and help the configuring the interlocking system. In this paper, we first arrange some rules which can be used to extract route information automatically from rail diagram and interlocking rules. And then we propose "Search-And-Rollback" algorithm to extract route information and individual interlocking rules. The proposed algorithm is implemented and tested through the signal design process of the Hyundai-Steel private railway to carry melted pig iron from the blast furnace to the steel-making workshop. some cases. It shows that CAD for Interlocking system is very helpful in time saving aspect and system reliability.

The purpose of interlocking system in railway is to prevent the route for a train being set up and its protecting signal cleared if there were already another, conflicting route set up and the protecting signal for that route cleared. Recently, conventional relays circuitry in industrial field is replaced to computer-based control systems according to the advance of computer and communication technology. Therefore, interlocking systems in railway field are rapidly changing from existing relay-based interlocking system to computer-based electronic ones that executes the vital interlocking logic to assure the safety train routes at trackside signaling equipment room using electronic circuits. So it is very important to verify the performance of developed electronic interlocking system by plentiful laboratory testing before actually application in the railway system. However the laboratory testing in the present state of railway signaling is preformed individually by manual, so very much test time and cost are required. To solve these problems, we are developed the simulator for automatic interlocking inspection in this research. This simulator is able to operate on general personal computer and has following beneficial functions : automatic test sheet generation for inspection, automatic inspection execution and et al. The experiments are executed to test the feasibility of the developed simulator the experimental results have good agreements with the anticipated ones.

Interlocking signalling chart must have no error and ensures a high availability for train operation. Interlocking signalling chart creation needs expert who has much experience to avoid errors, which can provoke some accidents. The CAD system for interlocking signalling chart can replace the expert because it can create the signalling chart without any errors if the creation logic being correct. We have developed the CAD system, present the basic algorithm in this paper.

Locking sheet is to display the contents of interlocking equipment for safe train drive in stations. It is being used as a basic information for interlocking equipment and for route control condition and the discussion for train operation between related parties. In spite of importance of this, there was no other way except depending on the work by hands from each stage(drawing, examination, discussion, approval) due to non-existing any tool. It is written it takes 30days from drawing to approval by procedures. However, it is required over the days in real time due to argument of each party. Furthermore on drawing of locking sheet, special conditions applied in accordance with situations of each station occasionally are different depending on the person in charge. Therefore, it is urgent to make up Logic Tree to accept special conditions of all stations. Automation Program for Drawing and Examination of Locking Sheet is to improve inefficient interlocking operation which was operated by hands in accordance with custom as automated system. The target of this program is to minimize the processing time and potential errors by personal work and set up standards for Logic Tree of special condition.

철도 신호시스템은 철도의 건설 운영 경험을 토대로 안전성 및 유지보수성을 극대화할 수 있도록 발전해 왔다. 전기적으로 궤도를 일정구간별로 구분하여 제어하는 폐색기반의 차량간격 제어를 통해 시스템의 안정적인 운영을 도모함과 동시에 효율적인 운영을 위한 시스템의 모니터링 강화가 지속적으로 이루어 졌다. 운영환경의 변화에 맞게, 기존의 ATS(Automatic Train Stop) 시스템과 새로운 ATP/ATO(Automatic Train Protection/Automatic Train Operation) 시스템이 병행으로 운영 중에 있다. 신호시스템을 병행 운영함에 있어서, 기존 ATS시스템은 잦은 신호설비의 개량으로 인해 연동도표 및 로직의 조건에 대한 보완이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 이종 신호시스템 중 기존 ATS시스템의 연동조건 및 보안개선을 통해 시스템 안전성 및 운영 효율성을 도모하였다. 신호기 ON/OFF으로 반대선 신호에 영향을 주지 않도록 신호현시의 점유조건이 추가되었으며, 위치 및 쇄정에 대한 추가적 변경으로 보안성을 향상시켰다. 또한 불필요한 조건을 삭제하고 세분화된 신호현시를 생성하여 열차의 접근성을 향상시켜 운영 효율성을 향상시켰으며, 한층 강화된 시스템으로 운영할 수 있도록 개선하였다. 이와 같은 활동을 통행 기존 ATS시스템의 잦은 신호설비의 개량으로 인한 연동도표 표기와 관련한 보완사항을 개선하였으며, 열차의 안전운행과 밀접한 보안도 향상측면에 있어서의 뚜렷한 효과를 얻었다.

In this paper we present the specification development for the localization of interlockings which control routes within a HSR station yard. For the electronic interlockings in Korea introduced from France in the 1990s, it has a complicated hardware configuration and communication protocols in order to secure safety. Now 30 years later, in case of the application of the up-to-date IT technology, it is expected to achieve equal or greater safety and save maintenance costs. Additionally, we develop the specification so as to utilize the stable domestic electronic interlocking technology for general railways, beyond the simple maintenance for the performance maintenance of foreign devices, to high-speed railways. Therefore, we perform a study for the localization of the HSR electronic interlockings by comparing and analyzing interlocking logic units between conventional HSR and general railways.

노후관로로 인한 지반내 공동형성과 지반이완 메카니즘을 분석하기 위해 현장시험을 수행하였으며 수치해석을 수행하여 현장시험과 비교하였다. 현장시험은 지반내 인위적인 공동을 만들기 위해 얼음을 이용하였으며, 시간경과에 따른 얼음의 융해로 인해 공동형성과 주변지반의 이완을 확인할 수 있었다. 다짐된 토사의 interlocking에 의한 이완 및 공동형성 거동을 고려하기 위하여개별요소법에 근거한 수치해석 프로그램인 PFC 2D를 이용하였다. PFC의 클럼프(clump) 요소를 도입하여 불규칙 형상의 입자를 모사하였으며, 이를 통해 얻은 공동형성과 지반이완 특성을 현장시험 결과와 비교함으로써 지반내 공동형성 및 거동특성을 파악하였다.
