    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.

  • HOW JAPAN DEVELOPED SHINKANSEN HIGH-SPEED TRAINS Dr
    HOW JAPAN DEVELOPED SHINKANSEN HIGH-SPEED TRAINS Dr. İlhami Pektaş The episode of Japan with railways goes back to the year of 1872. For the construction of railways started in this year, asking technical assistance of England, Japan was using 1,067 mm rail gauge regarded as narrow, remained from that time. By the 1940s, passenger density experienced in Tokyo-Shimonoseki lines, brought up the connection of this line with a fast train line. At the same time, this line would use the standard 1,435 mm size of rail gauge. This fast train project has been named as “Shinkansen Fast Train” which means “Bullet Train” at that time. Delayed because of the Second World War this project has been restarted in year of 1959 with the name of “Tokaidao Shinkansen” and take the distance between Tokyo and Osaka in 3 hours with 200 km/h speed. Japan has believed in this plan is realistic and achievable. Yet, vehicle traction technologies, successful implementations in electrification and the knowledge obtained from aircraft technologies of the country will be helpful for the construction of such a fast train line. The construction of the line took 5 years and it has been put into service on the date of October 1, 1964. Considering that opening of Tokyo Olympics organized on October 10, 1964, it is known that this date has a meaning for the country. When the line first taken into service, with a speed of 210 km/h taking 4 hours, the travel time decreased to 3 hours 10 minutes in 1965, 3 hours in 1986 and in present time decreased to 2.5 hours by increasing the speed of the train to 270 km/h.

  • History of Air Spring Development for Shinkansen Trains
    SPECIAL History of Air Spring Development for Shinkansen Trains Hideki KITADA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Air springs are part of a soft damping suspension system that provides both softness and damping characteristics by utilizing the compressibility and flow resistance of air. They were first used on railways about 60 years ago. The subsequent and continuous advancement of air spring technology is a result of the incorporation of air springs into Shinkansen trains and the acceleration of R&D activities in overcoming various challenges associated with increasing train speeds. To reduce the environmental impact of high-speed trains, the weight of each car was reduced dramatically. In particular, adoption of bolster-less bogies reduced car weight. Together with such technological innovations, the functions of air springs also changed remarkably. To make the Shinkansen competitive with aircraft by increasing both speed and ride quality, various new functional units were developed. Such units include the horizontally nonlinear air suspension system and the car-body tilting system with built-in air springs that enables trains to travel at higher speeds on curved tracks. A project aimed at further increasing train speed has been launched for several train lines. We will continue our R&D efforts to develop air springs that
