Recent Activities for Research and Development of Railway Vehicle Technology

Abstract

The Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI) has developed a master plan for the fiscal year 2020 and beyond, as a roadmap guiding RTRI towards the realization of its vision: "We will develop innovative technologies to enhance the rail mode so that railway can contribute to the creation of a happier society." As a matter of course, we also carry out R&D in the vehicle field according to the master plan. This journal carries the six latest research and development results in vehicle fields. In addition, this report outlines four other research results.
