Digital Maintenance Technical Seminar Held in Tokyo
November 30, 2020
Railway Technical Research Institute
On November 11, at Yurakucho Asahi Square, Tokyo, RTRI held the Digital Maintenance Technical Seminar.
RTRI has been addressing the research into “labor saving by digital maintenance” in order to attain more labor-efficient railway facilities maintenance by fully using digital technologies. Currently, we are in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and the need for labor-efficient, remote systems for maintenance work is even more highlighted. This seminar was thus focused on labor-saving and remote operation in railway facilities maintenance.
For holding this seminar, sufficient measures were taken to prevent the coronavirus infections. 95 participants from 35 companies, mostly railway operators, attended the seminar.

Following nine items of RTRI’s research results were presented at this seminar, covering fields of structures, track, power supply and earthquake engineering. Panels and monitors, real and model devices were exhibited at each booth stands in the seminar venue, and the researchers made presentations, answered questions from the visitors and demonstrated the operation of devices remotely from RTRI in Kunitachi.
