Summary
This paper describes a failure location detector and synchronized data display system for a track circuit (FD&SD). The track circuit is used throughout the East Japan Railway Company (EJR) for detecting a train safely by sending electricity through the rails. Once failure occurs in the track circuit, it takes a lot of time and labour to investigate the failure location and determine it. This is because a track circuit is made up from many parts (for example, rails, cables, etc.), which are located over a wide area. Therefore, the FD&SD was developed to find the failure location of the track circuit efficiently. In this paper, we introduce this development.
