Abstract

Traditionally, the track circuits have been used for the purpose of train locating. However, the recent train control systems like a CBTC(Communications Based Train Control) do not utilize the track circuits to minimize the amount of ground signal devices. Therefore, there are increasing concerns over the system that can locate the position of train exactly without using the track circuits. Then, the contactless locating methods are added to ensure safety when the shunting sensitivity of the track circuit becomes low for the existing sections equipped with the track circuits. In this paper, a prototype of train locating device has been designed and tested, which utilizes the current phase difference upon magnetic field variation. The results show improved features of this method over the conventional track circuits method.

열차의 위치는 전통적으로 궤도회로를 사용하여 검지하였으나 CBTC와 같은 최근의 열차제어 시스템은 지상신호설비를 최소화 하기 위하여 궤도회로를 사용하지 않고 열차를 검지하는 방식을 사용한다. 따라서 궤도회로를 사용하지 않고 열차의 정확한 위치를 검지하는 시스템에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 또한 기존의 궤도회로 사용구간에도 단락감도 저하시 안정적으로 열차검지를 위하여 비접촉식 열차검지장치를 보완 설치한다. 본 논문은 비 접촉식 열차검지기 장치의 일종으로 자기장의 변화에 따른 전류위상차를 이용하여 열차검지시스템을 설계하고 시제품을 제작하여 열차검지 성능과 설계조건 등을 판단하였으며, 기존 궤도회로장치에 비하여 다양한 장점이 있음을 알 수 있었다.
