Abstract

To provide an information transfer system and one-man operation support system that can be easily introduced in existing vehicles.SOLUTION: A one-man operation support system 1 is equipped with an optical wireless communicator 21 installed in a rail car Tb of train formation B and an optical wireless communicator 11 installed in a rail car Ta of train formation A, which is connected adjacent to the railroad car Tb. The optical wireless communicator 21 transfers the image information captured by a side monitoring camera 23 or an in-train monitoring camera 24 installed in a rail car that constitutes the train formation B to the optical wireless communicator 11. The optical wireless communicator 11 that receives the video information then transfers the video information to a monitoring device 13 installed in a rail car that constitutes the train formation A.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
