Nippon Signal was established in 1928, the year after Japan's first subway line went into operation. Railway signals have been a foundation of our business ever since. Following our commitment to fail-safe technologies, we have made a concerted effort to ensure safety and precision in railway operations, from the Shinkansen trains that are among the fastest in the world, to urban train networks with the world's highest density timetables.

In addition to railway signal safety systems such as operational control systems, automatic train control (ATC) systems, and automatic train stop (ATS) systems, Nippon Signal provides a wide range of devices including interlocking systems that control railway switches and signal lights, as well as track circuits, railway crossing gates, and brake shoes. Building on our wealth of experience and accumulated technologies, we are also utilizing new technologies to support safe, reliable, and environmentally-friendly railway transport, such as the development of SPARCS (Simple-Structure and High-Performance ATC by Radio Communication System), a next-generation train control system utilizing the latest wireless technologies. Nippon Signal will continue to help realize an environmentally friendly society, as well as actively pursue overseas business development.
