This paper introduces the new methods for train operation control in strong winds at East Japan Railway Company (JR East) based on previous papers. In order to secure running safety of trains in strong winds, JR East implements operation control such as speed control and operation suspension at prescribed wind speeds. In the new method of wind observation, the spatial average of instantaneous wind speeds observed at the same time by three anemometers is applied. Furthermore, the 3-second time average wind speed by an anemometer has almost equal performance to the spatial average wind speed observed by three anemometers. In the new method of calculation of critical wind speed of overturning, the Railway Technology Research Institute (RTRI) Detailed Equation is employed. The methods have already been introduced on some sections on the advance of other lines.
