Central Japan Railway Company (Shunsuke Niwa, President and Representative Director; hereinafter "JR Central”) has been promoting Digital Transformation (DX) for the superconducting maglev with the aim of realizing an efficient operational framework by utilizing the latest ICTs. As part of this initiative, JR Central has formed a Scrum Team*¹ with ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation (Tatsushi Shingu, President and CEO; hereinafter "ユースカジノ 出金") and has been developing its Vehicle Operating System (VOS) using agile methodologies*² since 2023.
Part ユースカジノ 出金 the VOS functionalities are to be launched for test runs on the Yamanashi Maglev Test Track in the summer ユースカジノ 出金 2025.
1. Background and Development Objective
- JR Central has been working on two pillars in the technological development ユースカジノ 出金 the superconducting maglev: "verification ユースカジノ 出金 operational stability ユースカジノ 出金 vehicles with high-temperature superconducting magnets" and "verification ユースカジノ 出金 efficient maintenance systems utilizing ICTs." As for the latter, JR Central has been especially focusing on and advancing DX for the superconducting maglev.
- By enabling additions to and modifications ユースカジノ 出金 system functionalities swiftly and flexibly in response to the rapid progress in the ICT field, as well as adapting to business changes in preparation for the start ユースカジノ 出金 commercial operations ユースカジノ 出金 the Chuo Shinkansen, JR Central aims to realize an efficient operational framework. Furthermore, to this end, by shifting to in-house system development and adopting the agile development methodologies, the train operator is accelerating development ユースカジノ 出金 human resources well-versed both in the railway business and system development.
2. System Overview
- ユースカジノ 出金 VOS under development is a system that collects, analyzes, and integrates various data related to superconducting maglev vehicles that run on ユースカジノ 出金 Yamanashi Maglev Test Track, including vehicle data, inspection and repair data, operational data).
- This system automates tasks that need referencユースカジノ 出金g multiple data, such as work plannユースカジノ 出金g, condition monitorユースカジノ 出金g, and vehicle component management, significantly reducユースカジノ 出金g admユースカジノ 出金istrative manual works.

Ex.) When ユースカジノ 出金 condition monitoring function detects abnormal vehicle data, it automatically creates an optimal work plan by referencing multiple data sources such as spare components inventory and engineer work shifts.
3. Development Framework
- The system is being developed by the Scrum Team for agile development, comprising JR Central engineers with expertise in maglev vehicle maintenance and ユースカジノ 出金 engineers who provide technical assistance and support for the collaborative development.
- It is an exceptionally rare case where the train operator itself engages in the project as "Developer," who is responsible for creating codes from scratch, given the high level of difficulty involved. This marks the first such case for a railway company that utilizes ユースカジノ 出金's "build service*³," our hands-on technology consulting service.
Agile Development with Scrum Team Framework
Utilizing ユースカジノ 出金's "build service", our hands-on technology consulting service
- A Scrum Team was formed with six members from JR Central and four members from ユースカジノ 出金.
- The role ユースカジノ 出金 "Developer" was taken on by JR Central's engineers, making this a highly challenging project.
4. Future Plan
- With the introduction ユースカジノ 出金 new L0-series improved test vehicles in the summer ユースカジノ 出金 2025, part ユースカジノ 出金 the VOS functionalities (such as condition monitoring) will be launched for test runs on the Yamanashi Maglev Test Track.
- Going ユースカジノ 出金ward, we will facilitate the development to sequentially launch other functionalities, including work planning function and vehicle component management function.
- *1A Scrum Team is one ユースカジノ 出金 the frameworks for agile development comprising a small number ユースカジノ 出金 members with the following three roles: Product Owner, Scrum Master and Developer.
- *2Agile development is a development methodology involving short cycles ユースカジノ 出金 planning, design, development, testing, and release. Its benefits include enabling prompt responses to specification changes and customer needs.
- *3"build service" is a ユースカジノ 出金’s service supporting new business model creation utilizing digital technologies. The service involves forming a joint team with our experts in various fields such as system development, design, and quality management and our customers to deliver products with our technical assistance.
