Key Strategy (1) Realize Sustainable Mobility Services: Future Railway Project/ Increase in Value Provided to Customers
We have fully introduced GOA* 2.0 self-driving trains. Leveraging the technology and expertise we have gained, we aim to expand areas for GOA 2.5 self-driving trains going forward. *GOA = Grades of Automation
We launched a new service that allows customers to check real-time information on train operations on smartphones and other devices. We will promote initiatives to enhance customer satisfaction, funded by increased revenue from the fare revision.
Promotion of autonomous driving
