PROVISION OF RAIL TRAFFIC SAFETY BASED ON RADIO ENGINEERING SYSTEMS

Abstract

PURPOSE. This paper develops a structural algorithm to automate the processes of efficiency control and monitoring of the condition of track circuits through the use of wideband signals able to provide a substantial increase of qualitative indicators of control of railway transportation safety indicators. The automation of rail circuit efficiency control is implemented by the system of blocks responsible for performing a certain task in the form of a structural model of FILAC (F-functional subsystem; I - information subsystem, L - logical subsystem, A - addressing subsystem, C - control subsystem). This model allows to create a system for the implementation of any algorithmic process of control, diagnosis and management, being the basis for the creation of the required one. METHODS. The study is based on the method of development and analysis of the automation algorithm of the processes of efficiency control and monitoring of the rail circuit condition through the use of broadband signals. It will significantly improve the qualitative indicators of control of rail transportation safety parameters. RESULTS. CONCLUSIONS. Application of new control methods and a special automation algorithm of the rail circuit efficiency control system that provides rail traffic safety through the use of radio signals will significantly improve traffic safety indicators and operation reliability as well as decrease energy costs and other. It should be noted that the new approach can significantly reduce the delay time of trains.
