This study continues earlier research on best security practices. It examines security practices in effect at public surface transportation facilities in Tokyo and London—both targets of terrorist attacks—and in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Santa Clara Valley of California. It updates the chronology contained in the previous report and adds an annotated bibliography. 17. Key Words 18.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • Impressive Amenity Spaces and Structural Engineering
    SSpecialpecial featurefeature articlearticle IMPRESSIVE AMENITY SPACES AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING Akira Wada Professor at the Integrated Research Institute and Human beings live through a variety of situations: sometimes happy, and some- the Structural Engineering Research Center, times sad; sometimes on top of the world, and sometimes in the doldrums. People Tokyo Institute of Technology also visit many places and meet many people in their lives. In times of peace, we spend most of our childhood near our birthplaces, growing up guided by the tender hand of our mothers. After entering school, we sometimes go to places far away on school excursions or family trips. And we may go further than usual for family events such as weddings and funerals. In high school, we gradually put some distance between ourselves and our family, making trips with friends more often. On entering university or getting a job, we may start a new life away from our hometown. We come to often make business trips, and we travel abroad as well as domestically. As adults, we commute between home and work- place every day, regardless whether we live in a big city or in a rural town. People move about using various modes of transport throughout their lives, from buses, the most familiar system, to even airplanes and large passenger ships on occasion. Transport systems that are well maintained, support people's activities, and make them more prosperous are one of the important features of a peaceful civilized society. Above all, railway transport systems from streetcars and subways Profile to high-speed rail transport without doubt play the most important role.

  • 3-4 Transportations in Tokyo and Yokohama Areas
    3-4 Transportations in Tokyo and Yokohama Areas Train and Subway (Underground) networks are highly developed and are the most convenient means of transportation in Tokyo, Yokohama and other cities. Trains in Tokyo ●JR Lines: JR offers a nationwide train network. In Tokyo, the loop line called the Yamanote-sen [山手線] (sen = line) is worth remembering, since it runs in a circle around the center of Tokyo. ●Suburban Train Lines: Usually connect major stations in central Tokyo with the suburban areas and other towns/cities in the greater metropolitan area. Operated by many different companies such as Odakyu [小田急], Tokyu [東急], Keio [京王], Keisei [京成], Seibu [西武], Tobu [東武]. Subways in Tokyo ●Tokyo Metro [東京メトロ] Lines: Covers most of the network in Tokyo. ●Tokyo Municipal Subway (Toei) Lines [都営線]: This line is integrated into the Tokyo subway network. Fares are charged separately from Tokyo Metro [東京メト ロ] lines. Trains in Yokohama ●JR Lines: The Keihin-Tohoku Line [京浜東北線], Tokaido Line [東海道線], Shonan Shinjuku Line [湘南新宿ライン] and Yokosuka Line [横須賀線] all pass through both central Tokyo and Yokohama. ●Suburban Train Lines: The Keihin Kyuko Line [京浜急行線] and the Tokyu Toyoko Line [東急東横線] run between the Tokyo and Yokohama areas, while the Sotetsu Line [相鉄線] connects Yokohama Station [横浜駅] with the Yokohama suburbs. Subways in Yokohama ●Yokohama Municipal Subway [横浜市営地下鉄]: Mainly runs between Azamino Station [あざみ野駅] and Shonandai Station [湘南台駅] and is called the Blue Line . Note: - Each company has a different set of platforms, so make sure that you are using the right platforms and train line. - All Tokyo and Yokohama trains and subways stop running between approximately 12:00 a.m.

  • Preparation of Articles for the Symposium Report
    Improvement of Shimbashi Station on the Ginza Subway Line (the first subway in the East) Atsushi NUMATA1, Yasushi ARAI2 1Design Section Chief of the Renovation & Construction Department of Railway Headquarters, Tokyo Metro Co.,Ltd, 3-19-6, Higashi-ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo, Japan, [email protected] 2 Design Section Deputy Manager of the Renovation & Construction Department of Railway Headquarters, Tokyo Metro Co.,Ltd, 3-19-6, Higashi-ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo, Japan, [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Tokyo Metro railway network opened in December 1927 as the first subway in the east, with a 2.2-km stretch between Asakusa and Ueno on what is now the Ginza Line(Figure 1).By the time the Fukutoshin Line opened in June 2008, the network had expanded to include nine lines over a 195.1 km span of open tracks. Shimbashi Station is located at about the middle of the Ginza Line. It is a transfer station for JR, Toei subway lines, and the AGT system (the Yurikamome). Increases in the number of passengers in recent years have caused major obstructions to passenger flow. In addition, the structure of Shimbashi Station is integrated with the piers of the JR Bridge, and is adjacent to the piers of the Tokaido Shinkansen Bridge. Based on passenger flow simulations under the configurations of the existing station, this plan proposed sweeping changes to the layout of the station to alleviate congestion on the platforms and facilitate smooth transfers to other modes of transportation. INTRODUCTION The Tokyo Metro Ginza Line (“Ginza Line”) became the first subway in the eastern hemisphere when the 2.2-km stretch between Asakusa and Ueno stations opened on December 30, 1927.
