Abstract

The turnout system, which determines the direction of the train, is not only a key system but also a vulnerable system. Failure of this system may lead to a delay of the train or even casualties. In this light, it is necessary to precisely the conditions of the turnout system. Currently, ROADMASTER of Germany is used as a diagnostic system in Korea. However, a new diagnostic system should be developed for optimized operation of the turnout system with maintenance that is suitable for the Korean railway environment. In this paper, a Fault Tree Analysis for the representative faults of the turnout system is conducted and physical quantities, which can be the cause of the fault, are classified according to the component and function. Also, the measuring factors for the monitoring are derived and a decision making theory is suggested. On the basis of the results, we propose a new turnout diagnostic system that can provide more driverse and precise information than the conventional system.

분기기 시스템은 열차진로방향을 결정하는 핵심 시스템이면서 가장 취약한 시스템이다. 이 시스템의 고장은 열차지연 및 인명사고로 이어질 수 있어 항상 상태를 정밀하게 진단해야할 필요성이 크다. 기존 한국 철도에서는 이를 위해 독일의 로드마스터가 운용되고 있지만, 국내 철도 환경에 적합한 유지보수를 통한 최적의 분기기 시스템 운영을 위해서 새로운 분기기 진단 시스템의 개발이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 분기기 시스템 고장에 대한 FTA를 수행하고, 각 부품 및 기능에 따라 고장 원인이 될 수 있는 물리량을 분류하였다. 이를 기반으로 모니터링을 위한 측정인자 도출과 함께 의사 결정 방안을 제시하여, 기존 시스템보다 상세한 데이터들을 제공할 수 있는 새로운 분기기 진단 시스템을 제안하였다.
