LABORATORY INTEGRATION TESTING OF RAILWAY SIGNALLING SYSTEMS FOR HIGH-SPEED TRAIN

초록

Railway signalling systems consist of several vital computerized equipment such as CTC (Centralized Traffic Control system), EIS (Electronic Interlocking System), ATC (Automatic Train Control system) and so on. Currently, railway signalling systems for the next-generation high-speed train is developed in Korea. The railway signalling systems, being developed, called as a kTCS (Korean Train Control System), are composed of kTCS-CTC, kTCS-IXL, kTCS-ATC and etc. kTCS signalling systems have to be operated at the laboratory level as integrated signalling systems by interface between each developed signalling systems before trackside field installation and revenue service. For this laboratory testing for interface and functions verification, communication protocols between signalling equipment are designed and message codes for each defined protocols are defined. And also several emulation modules have developed for the integrated railway signalling systems for laboratory testing. We has plentifully tested and verified the designed protocols and the characteristics of integrated railway signalling systems with our developed each kTCS signalling systems, communication protocols and several emulation modules.
