Abstract |
Electrical railway system consists of rolling stock, track, signal and streetcar line system. Track circuit system is a vital system due to checking the location of trains. Track circuits are divided by using frequency and isolated electrically. Currently, there is not a regulation for the distance between track circuits using identical frequency. In case of installing additional track circuits in large stations or marshalling yard, the problem which is that the signal is not exactly transmitted to the track circuit occurs due to the mutual interference. In other words, the track circuit properly is not operated on account of wrong induction current by the mutual inductance between track circuits. In this paper, we suggest the electrical model between track circuits and numerically calculate demanded parameters in electrical model. The distance between track circuits satisfying the mutual inductance which does not happen to the mutual interference phenomenon is presented about the distance of track circuit. It is proved by using Matlab and PSpice program as the amplitude of mutual induced current. |
