Abstract

The AF track circuit that detecting train position and transmitting various train control data for DTG to the train on-board is composed of single operation system. If a failure occurs on this system, the driver should be operate the train by manually until the system is restored, because the system cannot control switch machines and signals by automatically. In this process the human error affects to the train delay, collision, derailment and critical safety accident. Therefore, this document has analyzed the effects that each failure mode influences on system and train, and quantified the failure valuation point and class. Basis on this quantified analysis result, MTBF increased and MTTR decreased and failure number also decreased by adopting the independent installation of power supply, the replacement of defected capacitors, the installation of resister cooling system and the improvement of maintenance methods. And the failure factors of AF track circuits were decreased by conducting the preventive maintenance which is a quantitative way of maintenance system by experience.

열차의 위치를 검지하고 열차내연산(DTG)을 위한 각종 열차제어데이터를 차상으로 전송하는 AF궤도회로장치는 단일계로 구성되어 있다. 만약, 고장이 발생할 경우 선로전환기 및 신호기제어가 불가능하여 시스템이 복구되기까지 기관사에 의해 수동으로 열차를 운전하여야 한다. 이 과정에서 인적 오류는 열차지연, 충돌, 탈선 등 치명적인 안전사고 발생요인으로 작용한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 고장모드마다 시스템과 열차에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 고장평점 및 고장등급을 계량화하였다. 계량화된 분석결과를 토대로 전원장치 독립설치, 증폭PCB의 결함콘덴서 원인분석 및 교체, 저항자 냉각시스템설치, 작업방법개선을 통해 고장발생건수 감소 및 신뢰성의 척도인 평균고장간격(MTBF)의 증가와 평균복구간격(MTTR)이 감소되었다. 그리고, 지금까지 경험에 의한 유지보수체계를 계량화된 방법에 의해 예측정비를 수행토록 하여 AF 궤도회로에 대한 신뢰성을 향상할 수 있도록 하였다.
