This paper presents the track circuit signal acquisition procedure and the structure of the receiving antenna. A new track circuit signal noise extraction method by adding a center tap of the receiving antenna is proposed. Furthermore, the Q-learning algorithm is applied to process the track circuit signal based on the extracted noise. By employing the Q-learning algorithm, the strategy of the denoising system can be adjusted continuously with the change of environmental noise. Our method automatically learns different types of noise during normal operation. Experimental results indicate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of signal could be improved by 15-30 dB.Compared with the traditional filtering method, this denoising method has a better effect on the noise in the signal working band.

Due to the limited inner space of the dual-channel balise,the distance between the two adjacent an-tennas is close.The multi-antennas of the balise suffer from coupling,caused by magnetic field.The magnetic coupling,called mutual inductive coupling,introduces mutual inductance in the near field region between the two closely-packed antennas.This mutual inductance causes a change in the impedance for the sensitive anten-na,which is unexpected interference.The mutual coupling between the antennas reduces the independence of the antennas and affects the performance of the antennas,which increases the difficulty of antenna tuning.The parameters influencing the mutual coupling of the multi-antennas include but are not limited to the distance be-tween the antennas,their overlapping area,and their arrangement order.In order to decrease the coupling coef-ficient of the multi-antennas,the paper proposed to decrease the overlapping area,increase the distance be-tween the two adjacent antennas and re-sequence the antenna order.The simulation results indicated that these proposed changes increased the isolation of the multi-antennas and decreased their coupling coefficient.
The mutual coupling among 4 antennas with different frequencies in the dual-channel balise destroys antenna tuning status and affects the normal operation of antennas.Based on the series and parallel equivalent circuit of antenna,the formula for calculating antenna bandwidth is derived.The three-dimensional simulation model is built for the multi-antenna in dual-channel balise to simulate and analyse the series equivalent circuit.Results indicate that the mutual coupling among multiple antennas makes the loss resistance increase,the equivalent inductance and self-resonance frequency decrease.Simultaneously,the transfer impedance is generated among antennas,which results in tuning frequency shift.The transmission coefficients from 4.234 MHz FSK transmitting antenna to 27.095 MHz receiving antenna,from 9.032 MHz PSK transmitting antenna to 27.095 MHz receiving antenna,from 9.032 MHz PSK transmitting antenna to 4.234 MHz FSK transmitting antenna,from 4.234 MHz FSK transmitting antenna to 9.032 MHz PSK transmitting antenna,are all greater than-10 dB.After low pass filters are added in the signal output terminals of 4.234 and 9.032 MHz transmitting antennas,all the transmission coefficients are reduced to below-10 dB.It indicates that adding low pass filter can effectively reduce the transmission coefficients among multiple antennas so as to realize the decoupling among multiple antennas.

Chinese existing railway upgrading plan was proposed that the ground Balise could provide the data to the Train Control Record Device (TCRD). Because of the huge data requirement for the TCRD, the Balise data capacity should be expanded. Five technical proposals were mentioned and compared with each other. And the Dual-channel proposal, which consists of the Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK) channel and the Phase-Shift-Keying (PSK) channel, was considered as the better one preliminarily. Channel simulations were operated including frequency spectrum, bit error rate and spurious interference. Experiments were carried out in lab. Test results agreed well with the simulation analyses indicating the Dual-channel proposal is reasonable and feasible for Chinese existing railway upgrading.
In order to manage the hazards in the phase of train control system design and safety assessment , the quantitative safety analysis of train control system is crucial . T he results of the quantitative analysis can be used to judge and compare the pros and cons of the prototype designs , to evaluate the probabilistic risks of haz‐ards and to determine w hether hidden dangers can be controlled within the acceptable range with the risk miti‐gation measures taken . In this paper , a Markov Decision Process based modelling method was proposed to build system behavior model of the two consecutive trains in the train control system , to integrate the normal behaviours and failure behaviours of the system and to put forward Comprehensive Behaviour Model (CBM ) .

In image boundary detection, the common method is the threshold based on image segmentation. Traditional fixed grey threshold based on segmentation results in high false alarm and misses alarm rate. A framework of switch gaps detection based on CMOS plane is constructed, which focuses on the location and monitoring of switch gaps in high-speed railways. By the information theory, adaptive threshold selection and edge detection algorithm based on Shannon entropy are proposed. This algorithm shows low computation complexity and is adaptive to various contrast ratio of image with noise. It improves the detection precision and reliability. The efficiency of the proposed framework and the edge detection algorithm is verified by field data from Changsha Station in Beijing-Guangzhou high speed railway. The experiment results show that the efficiency of the proposed framework and edge detection algorithm based on Shannon entropy is improved.
Engineering data safety pervades the balise telegram compilation, which affects the railway traffic safety. The existing method to ensure data safety is to verify that whether the data conform to the specific verification rules generated based on the balise application principles and engineering data compilation specifications. However, these rules are described by natural language, which are characterized by ambiguity and scarcity. The situation often arises where insufficient verifications of engineering data may lead to data safety problems in most cases. To address this problem above, implicit logic rules are explored ground on the constraints between every pair of data, and modelled as a Boolean function firstly. Then, the Reduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagram (ROBDD) construction and depth-first searching algorithm are performed to verify the satisfiability of the rules. Compared with the original ones, the extracted authenticated logic rules have promising results in the accuracy of data checking, and can further improve the safety of engineering data.
Dual-channel balise consists of four coil antennas--27.095 MHz tele-powering receiving antenna, 4.23 MHz FSK uplink transmission antenna, 9.032 MHz PSK uplink transmission antenna and programming antenna. The dominant interaction between two closely-packed antennas is the mutual coupling. It causes difficulty in mass production. Mutual coupling introduces the impedance alteration. The tuning frequency is deviated from the operation frequency so that the antenna could not transmit the maximum power. If the deviated tuning frequency exceeds the antenna bandwidth, it cannot work normally. When the sensitive antenna receives in-band higher harmonic wave introduced by source antenna, it induces voltage which is unexpected interference. This paper analyzes the mutual coupling coefficient of multi-antenna. Some mutual coupling coefficient is more than -10 dB. In order to reduce the mutual coupling, a low-pass filter is proposed for 4.23MHz antenna and 9.032MHz antenna. The low pass filter decreases the higher harmonic wave interference. The simulation results indicate that the filter declines the coupling coefficient between two close antennas, which is less than -10 dB. It increases the antenna isolation and independence.
