Abstract: The Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen (bullet train) has been maintaining remarkable levels of punctuality and safety. Furthermore, as the speed and density of its traffic have been increasing, the Shinkansen must be able to promptly restore scheduled services when they are interrupted. The paper proposes a system architecture based on the FADS concept, for a flexible Shinkansen system that will be inherited by the next generation. The new system architecture has two main functions: utilizing information and executing processes to cope with the change of environment.
