Recently amount of construction about railway signalling system is steadily increasing to improve the transport services for the customer. But, at present efficiency of signal construction is very low. For example it is caused by that the period for the construction is limited to very short time at mid-night or flexibility of the signalling system is low from its system architecture. To solve this problem we are now grappling the innovation of the railway signalling system utilizing network and autonomous decentralized technology. In this paper, we introduce a novel signalling system which improved flexibility in signal construction by utilizing network and autonomous decentralized technology. And next, we show an approach to autonomous decentralized signal control system as a goal of innovation on our signalling system.
