Abstract
In electric railway lines, a dead section is a section in which the power supply is temporarily cut off because of a difference in power-feeding method between two stations. However, owing to the lack of theoretical studies on dead sections and the installation spacing of signals, design changes often occur, such as movements of the signal and various indicators after completion of railway line construction. In this study, the minimum dead section distance between the signal and the coasting indicator according to the tractive car number and track conditions (gradient, slope) was obtained using EL-8500, and the result was verified using TPS based on the tractive force, acceleration, and resistance values of the locomotive. It is expected that a standard can be established with further research through more analysis based on various track conditions and locomotives.
