  • A Case Study of the Kyushu Shinkansen Tsubame
    Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.8, 2011 Design Strategy for Interior Space in High Speed Rail: A Case Study of the Kyushu Shinkansen Tsubame Michie MASUBUCHI Seiji IWAKURA Dept. of Urban Development Professor Utsunomiya city Civil Engineering 1-1-5 Asahi Utsunomiya city, Tochigi Shibaura Institute of Technology 320-8540 Japan 1-7-5, Toyosu,Kouto-ku,Tokyo E-mail: [email protected] 135-8548, Japan Fax: +81-3-5859-8401 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This report focuses on the design strategy for interior space in the Shinkansen Tsubame Series 800 in Kyusyu, Japan and describes the challenges and solutions as obtained from an interview survey of the companies engaged in producing the products used in the train. With regard to construction of the Tsubame Series 800 trains, the companies involved encountered many challenges. The following two solutions contributed greatly to overcoming these challenges: 1)The “building up experiences” were used effectively, including the continuous improvements made in technologies, the effective use of knowledge accumulated in departments in the companies other than those directly related to product production, and the contributions of their research laboratories. 2)A flexible production system was established, including the accumulated experiences and knowledge mutually shared by other related departments in the companies, and the manual assembly processes added to the automatic production lines. Key Words: High Speed Rail, Interior Design Strategy, Interview Survey 1. INTORODUCTION In 2004, the Kyushu Shinkansen railway train Tsubame (Swallow) Series 800 started operation. This is the first train that ran on the Shinkansen railway line in the Kyushu region.

  • Does High-Speed Rail Influence Urban Dynamics and Land Pricing?
    sustainability Article Does High-Speed Rail Influence Urban Dynamics and Land Pricing? Panrawee Rungskunroch 1,2,3, Yuwen Yang 1 and Sakdirat Kaewunruen 1,2,* 1 School of Civil Engineering, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK; [email protected] (P.R.); [email protected] (Y.Y.) 2 Birmingham Centre for Railway Research and Education (BCRRE), University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK 3 Institute of Transportation Study (ITS), University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 February 2020; Accepted: 1 April 2020; Published: 9 April 2020 Abstract: At present, many countries around the world have significantly invested in sustainable transportation systems, especially for high-speed rail (HSR) infrastructures, since they are believed to improve economies, and regenerate regional and business growth. In this study, we focus on economic growth, dynamic land use, and urban mobility. The emphasis is placed on testing a hypothesis about whether HSRs can enable socio-economic development. Real case studies using big data from large cities in China, namely Shanghai province and Minhang districts, are taken into account. Socio-technical information such as employment rate, property pricing, and agglomeration in the country’s economy is collected from the China Statistics Bureau and the China Academy of Railway Sciences for analyses. This research aims to re-examine practical factors resulting from HSR’s impact on urban areas by using ANOVA analysis and dummy variable regression to analyse urban dynamics and property pricing. In addition, this study enhances the prediction outcomes that lead to urban planning strategies for the business area.

  • Linkage of a Conventional Line Dispatch System with the Shinkansen Dispatch System
    Computers in Railways XII 121 Linkage of a conventional line dispatch system with the Shinkansen dispatch system Y. Yoshino Administration Division, Transportation Department, Kyushu Railway Company, Japan Abstract With the partial opening of the Shin-Yatsushiro to Kagoshima-Chuo section of the Kyushu Shinkansen in March 2004, management of the connection to the conventional line limited express trains at Shin-Yatsushiro Station. It became important to provide a service in the Hakata to Kagoshima-Chuo section that was comparable to that of the transport system up to then. For that reason, station facilities were made to enable transfers between the Shinkansen and conventional line trains at the same platform. In addition, linkage functions between the Shinkansen and conventional line dispatch systems were set up as follows. - Referencing of conventional line timetables when considering revised Shinkansen timetables - Adding conventional line connection management functions to the Shinkansen programmed route control - Adding conventional line occupation display to the Shinkansen line occupation display and route control monitor - Displaying the conventional line timetable (planned and actual) on the Shinkansen timetable display monitor - Sharing of operation information provision between the Shinkansen and conventional lines - Guidance of trains and operation, including information relating to conventional line train connections on indicators for passengers The work is supported by means such as allowing dispatchers to identify the timetable

  • 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.
