This paper outlines problems relating to the joint application of railway operation information and recent research and development into information networks, train operation control and telecommunication systems. This paper presents the basic concept underlying a network platform for railway operation and its benefits for train operation control, maintenance of facilities, etc. It also describes how the network platform will enable the integration of various types of data from relevant fields, and increase efficiency of maintenance thereby creating new value drawn from big data analysis or computer simulation. Finally, the paper introduces recent research into precise and adaptable train operation control methods and applications using millimeter wave radio.
