The Train Information Management System (hereinafter, referred to as TIMS) was first adopted for the 209-950 series that was operated on the JR Chuo-Sobu Line. Since then, further development of TIMS has been done in terms of achieving higher performance, reliability and the additional functionalities, as it is adopted for the E531 series and E233 series. The TIMS has been adopted as the information control system for the new E259 series, which are to be introduced on the Narita Express limited express services to and from Narita International Airport, replacing the conventional 253 series. As the "TIMS" is to be used in an express train, some new functions are developed for the new equipment, with the further improvement of the performance of the conventional functions of the TIMS. This paper describes these newly adopted functions, design and the enhanced performance of the TIMS.
