Train Operation Systems

Rising to the Challenge of New Forms of Transportation in the ICT Era.

We’re ensuring safe and stable transportation through the optimization of trainset operation and operation control. In addition, precise train control realized through combining onboard and wayside equipment optimizes energy consumption throughout the entire transportation system.

Automatic Train Supervision (ATS)

These systems enable centralized monitoring and control of train operation. User interfaces that offer superior visibility and operability enable accurate understanding of the status of train operation and rapid and precise command decisions. Diverse functions also assist in the formulation of operation plans.

Passenger Information Control (PIC)

LCD panels display train departure and arrival information, line information, advertisements, etc. Videos, still images and information in letters and characters can be freely combined.

Radio Train Control Systems (ATACS*1/CBTC*2)

By utilizing advanced radio technology that provides robust and secure communication between onboard and wayside systems, these systems realize stable and highly optimized train operation while eliminating the necessity of wayside equipment (e.g. signals, switch machines, etc.) that is mandatory for conventional systems, resulting in a significant reduction in initial and maintenance costs.

Wayside Equipment

Wireless technology enables position data and control data for each train to be exchanged, and control to be applied to the distance between trains, speed, route, etc. The use of a failsafe processor ensures a high level of safety.

Wayside Zone Controller (WZC)

Radio Equipment

A full lineup of radio equipment tailored to train control using the radio LAN band, the train radio band, etc. Ensures stable communication quality.

Wayside Radio Unit

Onboard Equipment

Obtains control data related to the interval between trains while transmitting position data for the subject train to wayside zone controller via radio communications, enabling ATO to be applied within a restricted speed.
