Overview of the Development of a Signal Control System

This paper describes how the signal control system for a railway is an essential structure that ensures safe and precise train operation. At the same time measures have to be taken for transport improvement in light of the circumstances surrounding railways, while also keeping stable operation. Furthermore, technical progress in information communication technology has been remarkable and is expected to go even further. Therefore, efforts are being made to innovate signal control in light of the latest technical trends that are aimed at changing the system into the one that more easily brings about the feeling of security and reliability that passengers demand along with improvements in transport. This paper introduces the direction of technical innovation in signal control and it outlines the related technical development.
