Abstract
The Shinkansen is a safe, reliable, mass, and rapid public
transportation system in Japan. The authors discuss COMTRAC in the
Shinkansen. First, they look into the concept and technology of
fail-safe in railways. Second, they explain COMTRAC and its
fault-tolerant computer systems. Finally, they give several kinds of
field data accumulated during the past several years about COMTRAC,
which show its improvement in the availability
