Abstract

To improve the efficiency and safety of railway systems, the train control system has considerably evolved from the ground-equipment-based control system (e.g. track circuit, interlocking system, etc.) into the on-board-equipment-based control system. In addition, this train control system enables the rolling stock to intelligently control the trackside facilities by introducing information and communication technologies (ICT). Accordingly, since the ICT-based train control system simplifies the railway system (i.e. the heavy ground-equipment can be removed), an efficient and cost-effective railway system can be realized. In this paper, we perform a feasibility test of the ICT-based train control system using a simulation. To this end, we implement a test-bed consisting of prototype machines of on-board/ground equipment and introduce an integrated operation scenario for the train control. The simulation results satisfy all the requirements of train operation according to the scenario and show the effectiveness of the proposed train control system.

열차운행의 효율성 및 안전성 향상을 위해, 철도 제어시스템은 연동장치 등의 지상설비를 기반으로 한 지상중심의 제어시스템에서 ICT기술이 접목되어 지능적인 제어가 가능한 차상중심 제어시스템으로 진화하고 있다. 이러한 ICT기반 차상중심 열차제어시스템의 도입으로 선로변에 위치한 시설물들이 간소화되어 효율적이고 경제적인 제어시스템의 구현이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 차상중심 열차제어시스템의 적용가능성을 평가하기 위해 차상 및 지상 제어장치의 시제품을 제작하고 선로전환기, 건널목 차단기 등 기존 선로변 시설물들을 이용하여 테스트 베드를 구축하였다. 또한, 열차운영 시나리오를 작성하여 통합 운영 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 열차 운행 시 요구되는 차상중심 제어시스템의 시험 항목들을 모두 만족시켰으며, 이를 통하여 제안된 ICT기반 차상중심 열차제어시스템의 유효성이 검증되었다.
