ResumoThe Computer- and Radio-Aided Train (CARAT) control system is a new train control system being developed by the Railway Technical Research Institute of Japan. Since 1987, the institute has examined individual, basic factors essential to this system, such as the quality of radio transmission, the accuracy of train positioning, and the control algorithm of trains. Next, the institute developed a pilot system for the purpose of confirming the synthesized performance under a more realistic environment. This system has been installed on the Sanyo Shinkansen between Shin-Iwakuni and Tokuyama. The pilot test began in March 1991. The test train uses an on-board system made up of three subsystems for (a) train position detection, (b) calculation of train target speed based on the control command received from the ground systems, and (c) radio transmission. On the ground, there are three sets of systems, each made up of three subsystems (a) the radio transmission subsystem, (b) a train tracking-controlling subsystem, and (c) a system simulating the movement of trains (except for the train equipped with the on-board system). The radio data are transmitted via leaky coaxial cable.
