Automated machine learning for train A/C operation models that adapt to changes in the environment

This technology helps to provide comfortable spaces on trains in keeping with changes in the environment (e.g., seasonal changes).


  • Automates train crew’s operation of train air conditioning (target temperature correction, circulation fans) through supervised learning (decision tree).
  • Builds an automatic learning system that picks up data from trains and sends it to ground systems, creates decision tree models, and reflects results in the train’s operations.
  • Confirmed effects in commercial trains through technology verification tests in FY2019.

Applications



  • Railway ground systems (learning servers), On-board systems (A/C control, TCMS: Train Control and Monitoring System)

Benchmarks, strengths, and track record



  • Some degree of effects verified on actual commercial train lines.
