Safety technologies in autonomous decentralized railway control system and its future studies

Abstract

Along with the sophistication of society, the requirements for infrastructure systems are also becoming more sophisticated. Conventionally, infrastructure systems have been accepted if they were safe and stable, but nowadays they are required for serviceability as a matter of course. For this reason, not only the expansion of the scope of the control system but also the integration with the information service system has been frequently carried out. In this paper, we describe safety technology based on autonomous decentralized technology as one of the measures to secure safety in a control system integrating such information service functions. And we propose its future studies.
