Vehicle Control Technology Division

Profile

Our division is composed of Traction Control, Hydrogen and Sustainable Energy, Drive systems, and Brake Control. R&D of new train control method to next generation is our mission.

Introduction

The research and development of this division aims toward solutions of the equipment and control which are required at the railway vehicles running and stopping. When the vehicles run, it is required well ride-comfort, reducing the vehicles accelerating energy, and the good performance brake which has an ability of stable deceleration at high speed. In order to realize them, we urge the research and developments of the improvement a re-adhesion control, the high efficiency power train, the on-board battery technology, the evaluation consumed energy and the train operation for reducing consumed energy, the improvement a performance of disk brake, the air dynamic brake for high speed, and so on. Moreover, we will promote the development of hydrogen utility technology, so we will contribute to build the comfort and convenient railway system and the sustainable energy society.
