The objective of the Committee on Electric Railways is to support and grow an electric railways system community within IEEE.

The Committee also enables a range of different activities to help its members learn about, explore, and expand the current state of the art of this rapidly emerging technology.

The High Speed Train and Maglev Standards Committee (HSTMSC) was established in January 2021 with 63 experts from 32 interested parties.

HSTMSC covers wheel-rail type high-speed trains that operate at speed equal to or greater than 200 km/h and magnetic levitated system. It mainly develops standards related to HSTM’s electrical systems, safety, reliability and operational maintenance. These standards cover the HSTM’s trainborne electrical equipment, signalling and control system, fixed installation on ground.
