The Shinkansen is known to be a safe, reliable, mass and rapid public transportation system in Japan. This paper will discuss COMTRAC in the Shinkansen. First, the concept and technology of fail-safe in railways will be discussed. Second, COMTRAC and its fault-tolerant computer systems is explained. Finally, several kinds of field data accumulated during the past several years about COMTRAC are given, which will show its improvement in the availability.
