LABORATORY INTEGRATION TESTING OF RAILWAY SIGNALING SYSTEMS FOR HIGH-SPEED TRAINS
J.G. Hwang, JW Lee · 2004
Railway signaling systems consist of several items of vital computerized equipment such as CTC (Centralized Traffic Control system), EIS (electronic Interlocking System), and ATC (Automatic Train Control system). Railway signaling systems for the next-generation high-speed trains are being developed in Korea. The signaling system being developed is called the kTCS (Korean Train Control System) and consists of kTCS-CTC, kTCS-IXL, and kTCS-ATC. kTCS signaling systems have to be operated at the laboratory level as integrated signaling systems with an interface between each developed signaling systems before trackside field installation and revenue service. For this laboratory testing for interface and functions verification, communication protocols between the signaling equipment designed and message codes for each defined protocol are defined.
