무인운전 경전철 운전계획을 위해 수동운전 기반의 TPS(Train Performance Simulation) 대신에 ATO(Automatic Train Operation) 자동운전에 기반한 TPS가 요구된다. 본 논문은 ATO 패턴을 사용하는 새로운 TPS 모델을 제시하고, 서울지하철 6호선의 시험구간과 부산-김해 경전철 전체 노선의 실제 자동운전 운행결과와 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교하였다. 실제와 유사한 ATO 운행패턴은 상용감속도, 저크, 역정차감속도, 구배환산거리의 4가지 파라미터를 도입한 새로운 TPS 모델에 의하여 매우 정밀하게 시뮬레이션 될 수 있다. 무인 자동운전을 위한 상업운전용 표정시분은 ATO기반 TPS의 "Fast" 운전모드 운행시간에 경전철 표준사양에 따라 km당 3초의 여유를 가지도록 본 논문에서 제시된다.

Automatic Operation based on ATO (Automatic Train Operation) is necessary for driverless Light Rail Transit business. When this kind of driverless LRT operation plan is made, TPS (Train Performance Simulation) is traditionally simulated at all-out mode and coasting mode based on manual operation. Commercial schedule speed equals to all-out speed minus $9{\sim}15%$ make-up margin. Coasting mode TPS simulation is also run at commercial schedule speed to calculate run time and energy consumption. But TPS based on manual operation should make an improvement on accuracy in case of driverless LRT operation Plan. In this paper, new fast mode TPS simulation using ATO pattern is proposed and show near actual ATO result. The actual ATO pattern can be accurately simulated with the introduction of 4 parameters such as commercial braking rate, jerk, station stop profile and grade converted distance. Normal mode TPS simulation for commercial schedule speed can be designed to have fast mode trip time plus 3 seconds/km margin recommended by korean standard LRT specification.

In this work, the characteristics and the improving method of train performance of Korean rubber-tired AGT system(K-AGT) and Urban MAGLEV system are evaluated by using Train Performance Simulation(TPS). The train performance characteristics of K-AGT were analysed according to the change of maximum running speed and those of Urban MAGLEV were evaluated according to a vehicle weight variation. In the result of simulation in virtual line, the scheduled speed and the running time of K-AGT system have no difference with Urban MAGLEV system if the maximum running speed is equal. But the energy consumption of Urban MAGLEV system is more than that of K-AGT system. The analyses showed that in case of a 20 percent vehicle weight reduction of Urban MAGLEV system, the energy consumption per person is similar with the K-AGT system. The Urban MAGLEV system is more efficient in long travel distance condition than in short running distance condition in the aspect of train performance.

In this work, the characteristics of train performance of Korean rubber-tired AGT system(K-AGT) are evaluated by using TPS(Train Performance Simulation) and these results are compared to those of other LRT(Light Rail Transit) systems. The performance characteristics of K-AGT was analyzed by comparing the scheduled speed and the energy consumption in case of station interval change and rail track condition change in, the scheduled construction line. In the scheduled construction line, scheduled speed of K-AGT was no difference with other systems and energy consumption was less than other LRT's. In case station intervals are increased, scheduled speed of K-AGT shows similar increasing rate and in curved and graded track conditions K-AGT has no difference in scheduled speed with other systems. As a simulation result by track condition change, when the track which is smaller than curved line of 250m dominates more than $50\%$ in whole track, K-AGT is similar to other systems to the point of scheduled speed and there is advantage in energy consumption.

This paper presents TPS(Train Performance Simulation) which identified the condition of train operationing in short time. Using the program, the location of train, maximum current, metering power and regenerating of train, could be identified. This is an important part for Power Simulation. It is supposed that the grade, the curve, the limit speed and the current speed be constant within the time step in the conventional papers. In addition, the errors of the grade and the curve in each station interval are neglected. This paper will introduce improvement method the problem of TPS.

A multi-train operation simulation software is under development, in this G7 Project for a High Speed Train System, to simulate the running performance, power consumption, signalling and operation. In the first stage, a Train Performance Simulation (TPS) software is introduced in this paper. This is a core module of whole system and gives some parameters of a train, e.g., its position, speed traction and braking power and electric power system state, etc. In this paper, calculation technique was used for voltage drop at the train's positions and major posts along the catenary line. The final program will be used as an evaluation tool for system performance in constructing a new line or introducing a new train system.

본 연구에서는 철도노선을 주행하는 열차의 성능과 노선의 선형정보를 이용하여 실용적인 철도노선의 선형 노후도 평가기법을 제안하였다. 일정한 성능의 열차가 직선 선로를 주행하는 시간을 기준으로 노선의 종단 및 평면 선형에 의하여 속도제한이 이루어지는 현황을 반영하여 늘어나는 주행시간을 비교하여, 시간의 함수로 정규화하여 노선의 선형에 따른 노후도 평가기법을 개발하였다. 본 기법은 통상적으로 차량운전성능시뮬레이션(Train Performance Simulation; TPS)을 이용하는 기법에 비하여 복잡한 차량성능 및 사양이 요구되지 않아 사용의 용이성이 확보되면서도 TPS 결과와 유사한 결과를 얻어 실용성 있는 평가가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

A train performance simulation (TPS) software is a computer program that simulates the operation of a train system over a specified railway route and it is widely used in railroad operation and research applications. Numerical and graphical results from the simulation software, which is developed in this study, provide information on such performance variables as travel time. running speed, energy consumption at a specific time interval and in overall service time as the train moves along the route. Three types of input data are required for a computer simulation: track information, train information, and running conditions. The simulation of train performance starts with several simple mathematical models including train configuration. traction efforts, running resistance. and braking requirements. Based on the basic specifications of Korean High Speed Railway, System. this study, puts a focus on the estimation and assessment of train performance comparing. the specific train configurations of KEST20/11. CPLE20/10. PROP20/10, which are proposed from the previous G7 projects.

In this research TPS (Train Performance Simulation) blocks are designed using Simulink and applied to generate speed profiles for energy-efficient train operation. With a train operation mode of maximum powering, coasting, and maximum breaking, a breaking point is calculated from forward-backward running profiles. Then, GA (Genetic Algorithm) is used to solve a running time constraint, and a coasting point is produced from the searching process of GA. With the breaking point and the coasting point a speed profile is plotted. Train performance under a speed limit and gradient variations is simulated and resultant speed profiles are analyzed.
