With the rapid development of information and communication technology, CBTC system based on the wireless communication is widely applied in the railway signal system recently. CBTC system has advantages of lower installation space and maintenance fee than existing systems and the increase of transportation capacity and improvement of operating efficiency etc. due to the short headway. Based on the continuous wireless data communication between onboard and wayside equipment, CBTC system not only locates the train and transmits the information required for the train control, but also implements the moving block function by calculating the brake curves continuously according to distance from the preceding train. CBTC system can use either inductive loop (IL-CBTC) or radio frequency transmissions (RF-CBTC). In this paper, we propose RF-CBTC system architecture based on the functional modules, in which the CAN bus network is applied for the interfaces between the modules.

This paper describes how to ensure safety of train by guaranteeing stable and continuous communication in RF-CBTC. CBTC System uses the wireless communication between onboard and wayside so that safety of wireless communication is the most important. Losing the position of train causes vital problem of train service. By losing the position of train, the other trains are blocked in the block and the train move by emergency mode so headway and safety cannot guaranteed. Therefore, safety is ensured by redundancy of wireless equipment. One of the ways to make redundancy is redundancy of equipment. However, the redundancy of equipment spends a lot of money to avoid interference in limited place like underground. Continuous communication is guaranteed by means of redundancy of wireless communication coverage to solve the problems even though one of the equipment is broken.

In the system necessary for safety such as the train control system, to make train control information be sent correctly is very important to enable organic movement between trains. In the case of the system such as RF-CBTC (Radio Frequency Communication Based Train Control) the control related information is sent through wireless transmission between on-board system of a train and wayside transmitter. The wayside transmitter collects the running information such as location, velocity from the on-board system and operates the optimizing control by sending the control information such as the target, limited velocity to the on-board system. But, when the communication disconnect or train failure, the critical hazard such as train collision or derailment may be possible because the RF-CBTC depends on the information through wireless communication. This paper discribes of performing Fall-Back system to detect train position in the case of rail break or communication failure to avoid train accident and allows train to be operated safely. It can be implemented with ATP function through track circuits using active-type transformers and axle counters, and allows train to be operated manually in emergency status.

The RF-CBTC (Radio Frequency-Communication Based Train Control) System is a communication system in railroad systems. The communication method of RF-CBTC system is the wireless between the wayside device and on-board device. The wayside device collects its location and speed from each train and transmits the distance from the forwarding train to the speed-limit position to it. The on-board device controlling device controls the speed optimum for the train. In the case of the RF-CBTC system used in Korea, transmission frequency is 2.4 [GHz]. It is the range of ISM(Industrial Scientific and Medical equipment) band and transmission of voice and data is performed by CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) method. So noises are made in the AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) and fading environment. Currently, the SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) is about 20 [dB], so due to bit errors made by noises, transmission of reliable information to the train is not easy. Also, in the case that two tracks are put to a single direction, it is needed that two trains transmit reliable voice and data to a wayside device. But, by noises, it is not easy that just a train transmits reliable information. In this paper, we estimated the BER (Bit Error Rate) related to the SNR of voice and data transmission in the environment such as AWGN and fading from the RF-CBTC system using the CDMA method. Also, we supposed the SNR which is required to meet the BER standard for voice and data transmission. By increasing the processing gain that is a ratio of chip transmission to voice and data transmission, we made possible voice and data transmission from maximally two trains to a wayside device, and demonstrated it by using Matlab program.

Assuming that life of urban transit signalling is about 20 years with the flow of technology development, Seoul urban transit will be required to prepare for improvement soon. The highly developed countries preceding several levels rather than Korea are faced with commercial service which uses RF, ATC and ATO in Train Control System. European highly developed countries in the field of railroad have been progressing standardization and technology development of signalling associated with related manufacturers for direct operation between nations. For that, a effective train control system with radio beyond control levels by the existing wayside-onboard communication is in a developed and used stage. The systems which advanced countries have been progressing seem to be applied to domestic within 5 years from now. At present, there are no countries using CBTC for service throughout the world. So, this is investigated to focus on the routes ready to be installed with completed CBTC and trying to introduce the technology. Especially, considerations for economic aspect are mainly reviewed about controlling ability of headway, flexibility, extension aspect and construction cost on the basis of paper examined in NYCT.

CBTC의 통신기술은 IEEE 802.11.x 표준을 사용하고 있으며 ISM밴드 대역중 하나인 2.4GHz를 사용하게 된다. 따라서 CBTC 철도 무선시스템으로서는 통신 지연, 통신 왜곡 및 정보 손실 등이 발생 할 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 ISM 대역중 908MHz 일정진폭을 갖는 직접 시퀀스 확산스펙트럼 송신기를 제안하였다. 성능 분석을 위해 주요파라미터인 아이 다이아그램과 scatter diagram을 고려하여 특성 분석을 하였다. 또한 국부발진 신호의 위상잡음 특성은 약 60dBc/Hz로서 기준신호와 비교 시 특성이 상당히 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 2차 국부 발진 신호의 기준 주파수 억압이 50dB이하가 됨을 알 수 있었다. 제안한 변조방법에서 보조신호는 양과 음의 발생확률을 균일하게 함으로써 출력스펙트럼에서의 선스펙트럼성분에 의한 간섭을 제거하였으며 비선형 증폭기를 통과한 후의 스펙트럼의 측대파의 재생율이 현저히 줄어들었음을 볼 수 있었다.

In the system necessary for safety such as the train control system, to make train control information be sent correctly is very important. In the case of the system such as RF-CBTC(Radio Frequency-Communication Based Train Control), sometimes failure in correctness of train controlling information may happen because the information is sent throughout wireless transmission between on-board system of a train and wayside transmitter, and then, it is exposed to noises. Of RF-channel interference, there are various forms. Under the environment of mobile telecommunications, adjacent-channel interference and Co-channel interference are in trouble, and under the environment of the wireless LAN, inter-symbol interference is in trouble. Also, the system of the cellular CDMA mobile telecommunication is affected on the RF-channel interference such as Doppler effect, multi-cell interference, and other users' intervention. In this paper, we analyzed the effect of the train control information related to fading, intervention and other noises made in the underground interval and explained the transmission characteristics numerically. Furthermore, we calculated the mean of the error terms by increasing users in the system of the cellular CDMA. As the method for decrease the error term of sent information, we represented the way adjusting the arrangement of antennas, and we did the model related to the system of RF-CBTC in which the location of an antenna is calculated with really measured value of the transmission characteristics and the way confirming reliability of the wireless transmission.
