  Situation to surround global warming environment adds to strictness. For instance, based on energy saving method, energy-saving measures are required from railway operators. Therefore, we have developed a new system, which could calculate energy consumed for diesel railcars. The system is software that enables to estimate the fuel consumption mandatory train operations and exhausted carbon dioxide discharge. In this paper, we report a summary of this system.
