<b>Performance Evaluation System of Communication Network for Train Control System Using Radio Communication</b>

<b>Development of a Telecommunication and Train Operation Simulator for Radio Communication Train Control</b>

“…The Telecommunications and Train Operation Simulator for Radio Communication Train Control is coupled with 3 simulators: "RADTRACE" [1] to simulate radio communication, "TCNET" [2] to simulate communication network performance and "MATRIIX" [6] to simulate train operation. Figure 2 shows the configuration and input-output data of this simulator.…”

“…Indices Ⅰ and Ⅴ are explained in more detail in references [1] and [2], respectively. Index Ⅱ is described in section 4.1.…”

“…Simulation tools to assist the work of radio-link network design have been developed by RTRI [1,2]. These simulators can evaluate a radio communications network taking into account complex radio propagation and interference environments.…”

<b>Recent Research and Development of Signaling and Telecommunications Technologies</b>

“…As part of the project, a simulator (Fig. 2) is being developed that combines a train operation and passenger flow simulator [2] with other simulators [3,4] for evaluating radio channel design and communication performance including ground networks.…”

<b>Application of Simulation Technologies in the Transport Information Field</b>

“…RTRI developed a simulator system to evaluate the communication performance of radio-based train control systems including a ground network, that can be used to help more efficient design of radio networks [6] [7]. Linking this system to the simulator described above in 3.1, it can then be used for designing the location of base stations for radio-based train control systems taking into account the effects on train operation.…”
