TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR RAILWAYS

Railways in Japan are shouldering ever-growing responsibilities as a means of public conveyance. Urban traffic particularly for commuters is expected to increase further in density. Consequently, speedier and more accurate operations are required for train traffic. And to secure safe and smooth transportation, new systems will be needed. Against such a background, this paper describes the latest results in computer-aided traffic control systems and outlines a few newly developed systems.
