RTRI Develops Automated Method for Generating Crew Schedules
The Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI) has developed a method for automatically generating train crew schedules for timetable revisions (hereafter, “crew schedules”) using a dedicated program, thereby enabling substantial labor-saving and reduction of reliance on specialized skills compared with conventional manual preparation by personnel.

RTRI Develops Real-Time Detection and Automatic Response System for Abnormalities in Pantographs and Overhead Contact Lines
The Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI) has developed a system that, during train operation, detects abnormalities in pantographs and overhead contact lines in real time and, by sending alerts to train crew and automatically lowering pantographs, mitigates damage caused by such abnormalities and reduces the impact on subsequent service disruptions.
