Train traffic management systems provide a centralized means for the management of train traffic. The increased density of traffic on major routes and the diversification of passengers' needs have resulted in increased demand for such systems in the rail transportation business. To meet the needs of both public and private railway operators, Hitachi, Ltd.'s train traffic management systems have the ability to evolve from systems the transport management of a single line into integrated operation systems for multiple lines, and even total railway systems that tie in with other systems for the management of electric power management and other facilities. In recent years, railway operators have taken the opportunity to establish integrated operation centers when updating existing train traffic management systems or when building new routes, and a growing number of railway operators are building integrated operation systems to comprehensively manage the train traffic on multiple routes. As a result, these integrated operation systems have evolved into integrated traffic management systems that manage the traffic on multiple lines or entire networks. In the future, Hitachi aims to strengthen the links between passenger information service systems and train operation schedule systems, and to construct a system that operates and manages entire rail systems more efficiently.
