Study on the Procedure of the Emergency Brake in Driverless Mode of the Korean Radio-based Train Control System

초록

The Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) system performs real-time train position report and movement authority transmission through wireless communications networks between a wayside control center and vehicle on-board computers. And it has increasing effects of railway capacity by allowing the high-density train control through a high information transmission amount between the wayside and the on-board. Also, it reduces the maintenance cost because it does not use the existing track circuits. This paper deals with the procedure of the fault code and set/release of emergency braking that occurs during driverless operation in Korean Radio-based Train Control System (KRTCS). Also, the KRTCS is being developed for localization of train control system that driverless operation is possible.
