    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.

Examples include the replacement of aging rolling stock in the UK, the birthplace of the railway industry, and mitigation of the increasingly severe traffic congestion that affects emerging economies as they continue their development. Building on its success with its Class 395 trains, Hitachi was awarded a major contract for the Intercity Express Programme (IEP) in the UK. As a total systems integrator capable of supplying both rolling stock and operational systems, Hitachi aims to deploy the technologies it has built up in Japan to the rest of the world, and in doing so to make a global contribution through the supply of highly reliable railway systems. services over a period of nearly 30 years. While the UK has been a major focus of the Rail Systems Company, having first entered the market more than 10 years ago, the acknowledged success of the Class 395, which entered full commercial operation in December 2009, was a major factor in our being awarded this new contract.

    High-Speed Track Inspection Technologies

    Interpretive Article High-Speed Track Inspection Technologies Shigeaki Ono*, Akio Numakura** and Tatsuo Odaka* *Technical Center, Research and Development Center of JR East Group **Aomori Maintenance Technology Center (Former Technical Center) "Doctor Yellow" has long been used as an electric and track inspection train of Shinkansen. The maximum speed was 210 km per hour according to the running performance of the three track inspection cars. In the synthesis inspection car, dynamic status of the track, contact wire and others while running are identified correctly, so it is hoped that running performance is as close as possible to the operating conditions of the passenger car. Accordingly, using the high speed test train STAR21 and train E3 for KOMACHI, we started to develop a two-bogie type track inspection train that was the same as ordinary cars, and could get inspection performance and running performance on the practical level. We succeeded in introducing an inspection train capable of running at 275 km per hour, the same speed as "HAYATE" and "KOMACHI" in 2002. This paper introduces the development of a new two-bogie inspection device mounted on the "East-i". 1 Introduction - When the speed of the inspection train alone remains low, train scheduling is inconvenienced. The track is constantly exposed to vertical and lateral deformation - In the inspection train, dynamic status of the track, contact wire and under repeated loading by trains. Periodic measurement of the others while running are identified correctly, so it is hoped that resulting track displacement (track irregularity) and adequate repair running performance is as close as possible to the operating are vital to ensure riding comfort and running safety.
