A Test Result on the Performance of Next Generation ITS Communication in the Railway Environment

Recently the demand of wireless communications technology in railway field has increased for the purpose of safe operation and economical construction and reducing operating costs. The real implementation test was carried out in order to apply the next generation ITS wireless communication technology (WAVE: Wireless Access Vehicular Environment) to the railway. WAVE communication is suitable for high-speed environment, have a reliable wireless communication performance. This paper presents the results of test about installing the WAVE base station / WAVE Terminal for applying to the railway and measure the performance evaluation conducted.
