  • How the Punctuality of the Shinkansen Has Been Achieved
    Computers in Railways XII 111 How the punctuality of the Shinkansen has been achieved N. Tomii Chiba Institute of Technology, Japan Abstract The high speed railway line in Japan began operation in 1964. The high speed railway is called the Shinkansen and is known for its safety and reliability. In addition, the Shinkansen is well known for punctuality. As a matter of fact, the average delay of trains is less than one minutes every year. The Shinkansen runs along dedicated lines, which seem to be advantageous in keeping punctuality. However, there are lots of disadvantages as well. For example, although traffic is very dense, resources are not abundant. In some Shinkansen lines, trains go directly through conventional railway lines and the Shinkansen is easily influenced by the disruption of those lines. Punctuality of the Shinkansen is supported by hardware, software and humanware. In this paper, we first introduce a brief history of the Shinkansen and then focus on humanware, which makes the punctuality possible. Keywords: high speed trains, punctuality, rescheduling, Shinkansen. 1 Introduction In 1964, a high speed railway line opened in Japan. The new line connects Tokyo, the capitol, and Osaka, the second largest city located 600 km away. The maximum speed of trains was 210km/h, which was almost twice that of other trains in those days and the travelling time between these two cities was halved to only three hours and ten minutes. The new high-speed line was called the Shinkansen and it had a great impact not only on railways in Japan, but also on railways worldwide.

    Shinkansen - Wikipedia 7/3/20, 10)48 AM Shinkansen The Shinkansen (Japanese: 新幹線, pronounced [ɕiŋkaꜜɰ̃ seɴ], lit. ''new trunk line''), colloquially known in English as the bullet train, is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan. Initially, it was built to connect distant Japanese regions with Tokyo, the capital, in order to aid economic growth and development. Beyond long-distance travel, some sections around the largest metropolitan areas are used as a commuter rail network.[1][2] It is operated by five Japan Railways Group companies. A lineup of JR East Shinkansen trains in October Over the Shinkansen's 50-plus year history, carrying 2012 over 10 billion passengers, there has been not a single passenger fatality or injury due to train accidents.[3] Starting with the Tōkaidō Shinkansen (515.4 km, 320.3 mi) in 1964,[4] the network has expanded to currently consist of 2,764.6 km (1,717.8 mi) of lines with maximum speeds of 240–320 km/h (150– 200 mph), 283.5 km (176.2 mi) of Mini-Shinkansen lines with a maximum speed of 130 km/h (80 mph), and 10.3 km (6.4 mi) of spur lines with Shinkansen services.[5] The network presently links most major A lineup of JR West Shinkansen trains in October cities on the islands of Honshu and Kyushu, and 2008 Hakodate on northern island of Hokkaido, with an extension to Sapporo under construction and scheduled to commence in March 2031.[6] The maximum operating speed is 320 km/h (200 mph) (on a 387.5 km section of the Tōhoku Shinkansen).[7] Test runs have reached 443 km/h (275 mph) for conventional rail in 1996, and up to a world record 603 km/h (375 mph) for SCMaglev trains in April 2015.[8] The original Tōkaidō Shinkansen, connecting Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, three of Japan's largest cities, is one of the world's busiest high-speed rail lines.

  • JR East High-Speed Rolling Stock Development Koji Asano Director of the Advanced Railway System Development Center, Research and Development Center of JR East Group
    Special feature article JR East High-speed Rolling Stock Development Koji Asano Director of the Advanced Railway System Development Center, Research and Development Center of JR East Group 1 Introduction The history of Shinkansen rolling stock for JR East started with the series 200 Shinkansen, which debuted at the opening of the Tohoku/Joetsu Shinkansen in 1982 in the Japanese National Railway era. It was initially a 12-car all motor car train with a maximum operating speed for 210 km/h. The Shinkansen network spreading out in five directions later came to have a variety of forms of operation (Fig. 1); and even after the series 200, Shinkansen rolling stock conforming to those forms of operation and with increased speeds was developed. In addition to the standard type of Shinkansen dedicated rolling stock, others appeared such as rolling stock for through service between Shinkansen and conventional lines to Akita and Shinjo and double deck rolling stock for large-volume short-distance transport. A variety of services came to be provided as well, such as GranClass providing a higher level of service and fun-to-ride Looking at high-speed railway trends around the world, we “Toreiyu” and “Genbi Shinkansen” (Fig. 2). see that many countries have achieved commercial operation The Shinkansen, handling long-distance transport, has been in excess of 300 km/h, and Italy has announced further speed forced to compete with airlines and others with the expansion of increases with a goal of 360 km/h commercial operation. And the Shinkansen network.
