This paper presents a novel simulation of dynamic voltages in AT-fed railway power supply. Proposed algorithm is efficient and simple by using the circuit decoupling and iteration method. To verify the proposed method, we used real condition operating data and performed a several case studies. Under train is constant power, we separated each AT section to calculate a loop current, train voltage on any position. Finally, this result utilizes a planning and operation of electrical railway systems.

Train operations run trains to well-scheduled time table and the ideal case would be to have the trains running exactly as scheduled. The train delay resulted from the overcrowding takes place frequently in Seoul metro line 2, and doesn't keep the predefined headway. It requires to analyze the train delay caused from the overcrowding. In this paper we modeled, simulated, and analyzed the delay to disclose the effects in the line 2 operation. The modeling consists of trains entering into the line, running on the line and exiting from the line. The simulation carries out with statistical perturbation and analyzes the disturbance.

The present headway on KNR lines varies from 6 to 10 minutes. Therefore, KNR would like to reduce the headway of all the lines by 4 minutes with the implementation of ERTMS/ETCS on-board system. In Korea, thanks to the operation of the High Speed Line in 2004, the bottleneck phenomenon will occur only in a few sections such as Seoul-Siheung, which will be the common route between KTX and conventional trains. Therefore, we will analyze expected braking distance and running time depending on characteristics of conventional passenger and freight trains and high speed train will be operated within electrified conventional line for comparing the headways of ATS trackside and ETRMS/ETCS on-board system within the Seoul-Siheung section.

Wheel skids may occur during train operations due to low adhesion at the wheel-rail contact point abnormally, and the skids, in turn, result in flats appearing on the wheels, which affect safety and ride comfort significantly. Thus, anti-skid control has a crucial role for safe braking and prevention from flats that could cause a disastrous train accident. This paper presents simulation studies on an anti-skid control unit (ASCU) with a brake system of a rolling stock including a pneumatic model for brake power supply and dump valve operation.

This paper presents the non-destructive evaluation of a high-speed railway bridge using train-induced strain responses. Based on the train-track-bridge interaction analysis, the strain responses of a high-speed railway bridge under moving trains with different operation status could be calculated. The train induced strain responses could be divided into two parts: the force vibration stage and the free vibration stage. The strain-displacement relationship is analysed and used for deriving critical displacements from theoretical stain measurements at a forced vibration stage. The derived displacements would be suitable for the condition assessment of the bridge through design specifications defined indexes and would show certain limits to the practical application. Thus, the damage identification of high-speed railways, such as the stiffness degradation location, needs to be done by comparing the measured strain response under moving trains in different states because the vehicle types of high-speed railway are relatively clear and definite. The monitored strain responses at the free vibration stage, after trains pass through the bridge, would be used for identifying the strain modes. The relationship between and the degradation degree and the strain mode shapes shows certain rules for the widely used simply supported beam bridges. The numerical simulation proves simple and effective for the proposed method to locate and quantify the stiffness degradation.

The TVM 430 system manufactured by Ansaldo STS in France is currently used in ground signalling system for Kyungbu HSR. It transmits the speed information to the on-board signalling system in the form of continuous signal via the track, and the rolling stock in Kyungbu HSR runs with 300km/h max. operating speed by using the corresponding information. Looking from the recent international trends in HSR, reducing the travelling time and increasing of the line capacity is promoting via the improvement of train speed. In case of TGV Est, they are realizing the normal operation with 320km/h max. operating speed by using TVM SEI signalling system, which is similar to TVM 430. Furthermore, in case Honam HSL, which is under construction, is looking over faster speed than the limited one of Kyungbu HSR(i.e. over 300km/h). In this paper, it is assumed that the existing TVM 430 ground signalling system is used and train speed is improved, therefore the number of block section to be increased depending on the increase of train speed and the standard speed to be used in this case is drawn via the simulation of the train model and described the method accordingly.

The safety of tunnels is quantified by quantitative risk assessment when planning the disaster prevention facilities of railway tunnels, and it is decided whether they are appropriate. The purpose of this study is to estimate the probability of the train stopping in the tunnels at train fire, which has a significant effect on the results of quantitative risk assessment for tunnel fires. For this purpose, a model was developed to calculate the coasting distance of the train considering the coefficient of train running resistance. The probability of stopping in case of train fire in the tunnel is predicted by the Monte Carlo simulation method with the coasting distance and the emergency braking distance as parameters of the tunnel lengths and slopes, train initial driving speeds. The kinetic equations for predicting the coasting distance were analyzed by reflecting the coefficient train running resistance of KTX II. In the case of KTX II trains, the coasting distance is reduced as the slope increases in a tunnel with an upward slope, but it is possible to continue driving without stopping in a slope downward. The probability of the train stopping in the case of train fire in tunnel decreases as the train speed increases and the slope of the tunnel decreases. If human error is not taken into account, the probability that a high-speed train traveling at a speed of 250 km/h or above will stop in a tunnel due to a fire is 0% when the slope of the tunnel is 0.5% or less, and the probability of stopping increases rapidly as the tunnel slope increases and the tunnel length increases.

The Korean railway system is a mass transit system in which a various types of trains such as common trains, high-speed train (KTX), Metropolitan Express Railway (EMU) are operated. It is operated based on a timetable and provides us with safety, regularity, quickness and comfortable service. The objective of this study is to propose a method for estimating line capacity considering high-speeding and diversification of trains. In particular, the focus of this study is on the closing gap between the result of the existing line capacity estimation method and the real-world line capacity of the operating agency of the Korean railway. For this, this study introduces a new railway capacity definition by considering TPS of line alignment according to the operation type, train control and signaling system, etc. The verification of the proposed method using a practical schedule diagram exemplification is discussed as well.

This paper presents a structure and architecture of an integrated simulation method (ISM) to meet the requirements of virtual factory engineering (VFE). Combining CAD, VR and discrete event simulation techniques, the ISM provides static and dynamic simulation functions for implementation of VFE throughout the lifecycle. The static simulation can be used to evaluate the factory layout. The dynamic simulation enables us to evaluate ergonomics of factory, process performance of production system, feasibility of production plan and operation of factory, and to train operators safely, which cover the whole VFE lifecycle. The principles of the key techniques of VFE, including virtual factory data management system (VFDMS), static and dynamic simulation, are also discussed. To demonstrate and validate the ISM, a case study has been carried out in an assembly factory.
