Other Conventional Lines The service area has a population of approximately 43 million people, equivalent to 34% of the population of Japan. The railway network comprises a total of 1,222 railway stations, with an operating route length of 5,015.7 kilometers, almost 20% of passenger railway kilometerage in Japan. This network includes the Sanyo Kansai Urban Area Shinkansen, a high-speed intercity railway line; the Kansai Urban (including the Urban Network) Area, serving the Kyoto–Osaka–Kobe metropolitan area; and other conventional railway lines (excluding the three JR-West branch offices in Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe). The Sanyo Shinkansen is a high-speed intercity to the major stations of the Sanyo Shinkansen passenger service between Shin-Osaka Station in Line, such as Okayama, Hiroshima, and Hakata, Osaka and Hakata Station in Fukuoka in northern without changing trains. These services are Kyushu.

    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.

HSR is a capital-intensive infrastructure, in which multiple subsystems are closely integrated. Also, HSR operation lasts for a long period, and its performance indicators are continuously altered by incremental updates.
