The design and research of an Earthquake Early Warning System for railways

Earthquake Early Warning System is an important subsystem of the overall planning for railway information. On the basis of the research of foreign Earthquake Early Warning System, we have analyzed disaster monitoring technology and its trends. The dangers of train's safe operation caused by earthquake and other hazards, for example, objects, animals, and humans interfering, has also been presented. Combined with the reality of high-speed railways in our country, we raised the overall system structure, network architecture, system functions and of Earthquake Early Warning System. Furthermore, not only could the system get real-time monitoring information, but also is able for centralized management, emergency procedures, and comprehensive analysis.
