INTEROS:
INtegrated Train communication networks for Evolvable Railway Operation System

INTEROS

The INTEROS(*1) train control system was developed using Ethernet(*2) communications technology based on development concepts such as reliability and improvement of service.

General-purpose communications technology was utilized to create a system with high functionality and expandability that complies with international standards to meet the needs created by internationalization of railway technologies.

The wireless communication technology enables rolling stock to communicate train status and maintenance information to ground facilities in real time.

INTEROS development results have been adopted for series E235.
