Interest in railway systems as a sustainable means of medium to long-distance mass transit is increasing worldwide. To meet that interest requires improvements in passenger car quality, even greater environment-friendliness and use of IT to provide information. It also requires more advanced train control that involves cooperation between on-board and track-side systems through use of broadband communication systems that employ wireless links. As a comprehensive railway system integrator, Hitachi has implemented the Nanakuma Subway Line system of the Fukuoka City Transportation Bureau, the Tsukuba Express railway system of the Metropolitan Intercity Railway Company and a passenger system that incorporates advanced IT. We also continue to improve quality in the various aspects of railway transportation systems and to develop advanced system solutions.
