The balise transmission system is an important part of the train operation control system, and the electromagnetic environment at its installation location is complex. In actual operation, BTM failures caused by electromagnetic interference are frequent, which poses a hidden danger to the safe operation of trains. In order to improve the electromagnetic compatibility performance of balise transmission system, this paper studies the electromagnetic interference of balise transmission system in neutral section and proposes corresponding protection scheme. Firstly, the theoretical analysis of the causes of pantograph catenary discharge in the neutral section is carried out, and the electromagnetic radiation in the uplink frequency band of BTM operating in the neutral section is measured; then the electromagnetic interference coupling law of neutral section pantograph catenary discharge to the on-board antenna of the balise transmission system is studied by modeling and simulation of the train and balise transmission system; finally, according to the characteristics of electromagnetic interference spatial coupling, the protective measures to block its energy coupling path are proposed, the CAU antenna shield is designed, its shielding effect is measured in the laboratory, and the operational test is carried out in the field. The results show that after the CAU antenna is equipped with a shield, the differential mode electromagnetic interference at 3~3.5MHz in the BTM operating frequency band can be reduced by about 20 dB, while the BTM message quality is improved from 0.83 to 0.91. This shows that the proposed shield solution can effectively improve the anti-interference performance of the CAU antenna and will not affect the normal signal transmission of the BTM, thus ensuring the normal communication technology requirements of the balise transmission system. It is expected to reduce the failure rate of the balise transmission system and has a high application value.

Most single-track railway sections in the uninhabited area are not equipped with track circuits, that is, there is no real-time broken rail detection capability. With the popularization of seamless steel rails and the increase of speed-raising and heavy-load trains, the rail is more prone to crack and break, and the demand for operation and maintenance of detecting broken rail is increasing. Based on the principle of track circuit, combined with direct digital frequency synthesis technology, long-distance radio communication technology and digital power amplifier technology, a low-power, easy-to-deploy real-time broken rail detection system is designed in this paper. Compared with the current common detection technology of broken track in China, this system is more suitable for the railway in uninhabited area and can greatly reduce the pressure of operation and maintenance.

The composition of train tracking interval is analyzed in depth with comprehensively considering of various influencing factors, including train performance, line conditions, signal system, transportation operation. Train tracking interval is accordingly decomposed into train performance operation time, additional operation time under line conditions, additional operation time under signal system and other additional operation time. Definitions of each operation time and its contribution rate to train tracking interval are proposed. Taking CR400BF EMU and its operation parameters as an example, the contribution rate of each operation time to each train tracking interval is calculated using simulation calculation software, under the combination conditions of different operation speeds, different gradients and different block section lengths. The influence of each factor and its combination on train tracking interval is quantitatively analyzed. Conclusion: For train interval tracking time and train passing tracking interval, the leading factor is signal system when the operation speed is low, and the leading factor is train performance when the operation speed is high. For departure tracking interval and arrival tracking interval, the leading factor is line conditions.
