microprocessor-based integrated control system
Explanation:
I am sure about "micro-processor", although you can also use "microcomputer", which sounds a bit outdated.

行车设备 can mean varying degrees of function, so, in the order of general to more specific, you can use:
- operational/traffic
- control/monitoring
- signaling? (as suggested by s4074433)

I'll leave it to those who have more expertise in the area.

Also, it appears "'micro-processor" shows up a lot in Chinese websites, even though "microprocessor" is more proper.

Integrated micro-electronic signaling facility


Explanation:
This is a technical term, so someone who is familiar with the industry should be able to provide a precise translation. However, it has to do with signal processing for the train, so this is probably not too far off the mark.
