There is provided a configuration that can precisely detect abrasion of brake shoes of a railway vehicle. A brake shoe abrasion detection unit includes: at least one abrasion detection RF tag that is attached at a position of an abrasion limit of a brake shoe of a railway vehicle tread brake or a position closer to a braking surface than the abrasion limit; and a reference RF tag that is attached at a position beyond the abrasion limit of the brake shoe.

There is provided a configuration in which an association between a location of each brake shoe of a railway vehicle and each abrasion detection tag is easily learned, and system implementation and management are simplified. A brake shoe abrasion detection system of a railway vehicle includes a computer that receives data of a signal read by a reader from at least one abrasion detection RF tag attached to each of a plurality of brake shoes of the railway vehicle passing the reader. The computer determines an association between a plurality of the signals and the plurality of brake shoes based on an order that the reader reads the plurality of signals from a plurality of the abrasion detection RF tags attached to the plurality of brake shoes, respectively.

A railcar bodyshell includes: a plurality of modules into which at least one of a floor portion, side portion, and roof portion of the bodyshell is divided in a car longitudinal direction; and an elongated member extending in the car longitudinal direction, the plurality of modules being attached to the elongated member. The elongated member includes a groove portion for fixing the plurality of modules to the elongated member the groove portion extending in the car longitudinal direction.

A railcar is a railcar including a driver's cab. One of both railcar-width-direction portions of the driver's cab is formed by a first driver's cab device unit. The first driver's cab device unit includes: a plurality of first driver's cab devices distributedly arranged in a plurality of areas located at one of both railcar-width-direction sides of the driver's cab; a first driver's cab device wire that connects the first driver's cab devices located in the different areas to one another; and a first driver's cab floor surface plate, a first driver's cab side plate, a first driver's cab back plate, and a first driver's cab ceiling plate, which form a part of an outer body of the driver's cab, the part being located at the one of both railcar-width-direction sides of the driver's cab. These components of the first driver's cab device unit are integrated to form a box shape.
