Abstract

For the recent several years, East Japan Railway Company has been developing an intelligent high wind alert system called ‘WINDAS’. This system is designed to protect trains from extreme crosswind hazard. This system works with continuous wind velocity data measured by anemometers located along the right-of-way. A forecasting model to make short-term prediction of peak winds uses these measurements. If the gusts are predicted with wind velocities above the permissible level, the system issues an alert for the relevant trains to stop or reduce the speed of operation.
