Railway operators enforce train operation control based on actual precipitation observed by rain gauges to ensure safe train operation in heavy rainfall events. Now by utilizing rainfall forecasting information they may make train operation safer. In this study, we study about a prediction method combining the translation model and the orographic rainfall model. About the area around Mt. Hakone when typhoon No. 19 in October 2019, we verified the prediction accuracy and examined the utilization method from comparisons with observation values of rain gauge. As a result, it was found that the estimation accuracy of the rain gauge observation value is improved by considering the orographic rainfall comparing with the case of the translation model only. In addition, we proposed a method to obtain a wide range information of prediction from multiple prediction results obtained by radar data of multiple altitudes.
