RTRI's signalling and transport information division aims to contribute to enhanced safety, reliability, and ease of use through research and development in signalling systems, communication network technology, transportation planning and traffic operation, and condition monitoring technology of railway facilities. This paper outlines the trends in research and development aimed at providing supporting technology for transportation planning and rescheduling of train operations. It focuses largely on a number of topics related to activities and future plans for transport planning, attaching particular importance to railway transport, passenger flow analysis, quantitative evaluation of railway customer needs and economic evaluation of mass transport.
