Monitoring systems for trains were developed to indicate the working condition of on-board components to the driver, enabling quick measures to be taken to deal with any irregularities. The on-board train information system originated in the monitoring system, and its applications have been expanding in line with the developments taking place in information technology. The most recent train information system integrates all of the information on the train to offer better service to the passengers, easier maintenance, and improved traction performance. The paper describes technical trends in the components of the train information system, provides a summary of the monitoring systems installed on the Yamagata Sinkansen, and discusses the future evolution of train information systems.
