The spread of COVID-19 since 2020, has had a major impact on the railway business, leading to an urgent need to respond to the drastic changes in demand for mobility in society. Until now, the Signal and Transport Information Technology Division has focused on research and development to further improve the safety and convenience of train operations and reduce the cost and burden of operations related to train operation management. Now, it is necessary to extend research and development to take into account the consequences of COVID-19 by, for example, speeding up our R&D. This paper introduces the purpose and goals of R & D undertaken by the Transport Operation Systems Lab and the Transport Planning and Marketing Lab in FY2020. This paper also describes the R&D concepts and policies for responding to a post-COVID-19 environment. in detail from various perspectives such as user arrival time, train operation frequency, number of transfers, train delays, and operating costs. The revised plans should then be compared with other timetables before a decision is made. However, preparing and evaluating timetable revisions is currently a very time-consuming procedure, which makes it difficult to perform detailed analyses or quantitative comparative evaluations of multiple proposed plans. This R&D project therefore first aimed to establish an evaluation method for timetables, keeping in mind that in the future, automatic proposals and evaluations of multiple schedules should improve the quality and efficiency of operations. Focusing on train delays in particular, a method was constructed to quantitatively evaluate timetables from the perspective of delays [2]. Specifically, the constructed method first identifies the areas affected by the spread of delays at each location, from daily delay record data, and quantitatively evaluates the number of trains and stations in these areas to express the impact of the delay. Then, a method was devised to extract locations which had higher average impact values for a certain period (e.g. 1 month) which would be locations where delay measures should be considered with priority. Finally, a system loaded with this information was developed, to support delay countermeasures (Fig. 1).

This paper outlines the recent accomplishments of the representative research on prevention of human error accidents and improvement of user environments. RTRI is conducting R & D with the aim of improving railway safety, reducing maintenance costs, and improving rail services by introducing higher running speeds. Approximately half of all R & D for vehicles is concentrated on safety, mainly focusing on research on running safety evaluation methods such as flange climb derailment and crashworthiness evaluation. To improve the quality of railway services for passengers, other research and development aims to improve ride comfort by reducing vibration, developing tilting technology and noise reduction. This paper gives an overview of current research and development being conducted in the Vehicle Structure Technology Division, the status of crashworthiness evaluation, and of work to improve ride comfort.","PeriodicalId":52445,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Report of RTRI (Railway Technical Research Institute) (Japan)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47847482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Quantitative and Qualitative Research of Surface Bacteria on the Floor of Station Restrooms with Two Types of Cleaning Method","authors":"T. Kawasaki, T. Kyotani, Tomoyoshi Ushiogi, Sachiko Yoshie","doi":"10.2219/rtriqr.62.4_281","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2219/rtriqr.62.4_281","url":null,"abstract":"There are two types of method for cleaning station restrooms. One method uses water for cleaning floors, whereas the second does not. This study describes quantitative and qualitative research into the sur face bacteria found on station restroom floors where these two cleaning methods were used. Samples for analysis were collected from five positions on the floor of each restroom in each railway station investigated. Samples were treated using a conventional culture method to measure the concentrations of surface bacteria on each restroom floor. Samples were then analyzed with bacterial 16S rRNA genes to analysis the microbi omes on these restroom floors. Results showed that the restrooms cleaned without water had lower concen trations of bacteria, than the microbiomes from restroom floors cleaned with water. A and C in October 2018, January and July 2019, and in Stations B and D in July 2019. At Stations A and C, a qualitative investigation was conducted during the daytime (during business hours) on January 8, 2019 (Table 2). The temperature and humidity recorded at the time of the investigation are listed in the same table. Each of the 5 sampling positions were investigated qualitative-ly and quantitatively: under washbasins, under urinals, between urinals, and the central and back corners of the floor, in each station. Bacteria was collected from floors using one of two possible methods. The first method used a 10-cm square frame, which was Earth retaining structures, such as bridge abutments and retaining walls, are con-structed at the boundary of bridges or embankments. There are a variety of earth retaining structure failure modes, therefore in order to be able to ensure rational aseismic reinforcement, it is necessary to develop a range of different aseismic reinforcement methods adapted to the relevant earth retaining structure’s failure mode. Moreover, there are many cases where construction work is severely restricted due to various limitations, such as land boundaries, available space, and time available for construction work. Therefore, the authors propose an aseismic reinforcement method, which can both improve seismic performance of earth retaining structures and be carried out efficiently. This paper outlines this research and describes some examples of the practical application of the newly developed reinforcement method.","PeriodicalId":52445,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Report of RTRI (Railway Technical Research Institute) (Japan)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46680154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
