Shi Tian-yun · Communication and Transportati0n Systems Engineering and Information · 2004
CyberRail is an enhanced railway system for the realization of safe, efficient, integrated and seamless intermodal transport systems utilizing advanced information and telecommunication technologies. In 2000, Railway Technical Research Institute began to plan the study on railway intelligent transportation system and proposed ITS in the railway field-CyberRail. Its main goals is to define the system architecture of CyberRail and to promote interoperability of various railway related information services, and to establish a general standards and system architecture to ensure the railway information with sufficient flexibility and openness in intermodal transport systems. CyberRail is a reference model of the development for the railway system of Japan in the future. This paper introduces the concept, user services, system architecture and development status of CyberRail in detail.
