Dear Madam and Sir,

On behalf of the WCRR Organizing Committee, I am honored to invite you to the 12th World Congress on Railway Research (WCRR 2019) that will take place in Tokyo, Japan, from October 28 to November 1, 2019 at the venue called Tokyo International Forum.

WCRR was established for the purpose of providing an overview of the world's development of railway technologies and discussing future directions to be taken by the railway sector. This is the world's largest international congress on railway research, proudly unprecedented in the sense that railway researchers and engineers gather together with managers and executives of railway operators in one congress.

Although economic and social circumstances under which railways are doing business differ greatly from region to region or from country to country, it is common for all railways that their important role is to further deepen ties among people by realizing safe and comfortable mobility of people as well as secure and efficient transportation of goods. Providing railway customers with quality experience by fulfilling this role is what railway businesses should aim to achieve and will lead to the raison d'être of railways. Therefore, we believe that even in this era of highly advanced communication technologies including the Internet and smartphones, the value of railways delivered by its functionality to assist passenger mobility and goods transport in the real world will be and must be further elevated. In order to achieve the goal mentioned above, the railways need to keep providing high-quality and reasonably-priced customer services, while maintaining high standards of safety and excellent environmental performance. Innovation which will be brought about by technological breakthroughs will be indispensable, and the role of research and development for this purpose is exactly the main agenda of the entire congress.

Therefore, at WCRR 2019, we would like to provide the time and place where railway delegates from around the world are able to share their views regarding the roles that research and development are expected to play in order to further elevate the values of railways, while railway engineers and experts are able to share information and expertise. Your participation in all possible forms will be highly appreciated, to achieve these goals.

In Japan, we have been steadily promoting the development of urban transit systems which will meet the demands of densely-populated urban areas, and expanding the Shinkansen network which will have a tremendous impact in vitalizing the Japanese regional economy. I am expecting that, if you come to Japan, you can sense the impacts that the railways have had and are still having upon the Japanese society and economy, and experience how vital a role railways are playing in this country.

We will host WCRR in the autumn of 2019, and Japan will host the Tokyo Olympic Games in the following year 2020. So I firmly believe that in the year 2019, you will be able to experience a highly-charged, vibrant metropolis of Tokyo.

I am very much looking forward to welcoming you in Tokyo.

Ikuo WatanabeChair, Organizing Committee of WCRR 2019Executive Vice PresidentRailway Technical Research Institute, Tokyo, Japan
