Real Time Microcomputer Control of Industrial Processes

Part of the book series: Microprocessor-Based Systems Engineering ((ISCA,volume 5))

Abstract

Microcomputers have become powerful and reliable enough to be applied to the transportation systems. There are many microcomputer applications on the railway transportation systems, such as Shinkansens, subways, monorails, private railways and medium size guideway rapid transits in Japan. Typical examples of them are introduced here.
