  1. High Speed System in Japan Workshop High Speed Railway Warsaw, 16 November 2011 Naoto YANASE Senior Advisor High Speed, UIC Deputy Director, Japan Railways Group Paris Office

  2. Shinkansen operation: JR companies • Established as private companies and geographically separated from Japanese National Railways. • Passenger companies are infrastructure owners(integrated companies). • All companies are independently administrated. 6 passenger railway companies + 1 freight railway company + Other companies Shinkansen (1435mm) 13% Network length Mini-Shinkansen (Conventional) (1435mm) 1% Conventional (1067mm) 86% Total 20,124km N.

  3. Shinkansen Series 0 (1964-2008) N. Yanase - Workshop High Speed Rail, Warsaw, 16.11.2011 • Shinkansen = ‘New trunk line’ • First high speed rail system in the world (47 years history) Tokaido Shinkansen opened in 1964 (maximum line speed was 210km/h) to increase the capacity of the most congested Tokaido line • System of high speed with concepts: • Dedicated high speed track with 1435mm standard track gauge = independent from conventional lines, no level crossing • Distributed power rolling stock (EMU) • ATC in-cab signalling system • Centralized traffic control system etc -> high speed operation with high safety • Current maximum line speed: 240-300km/h • Exceptional: Mini-Shinkansen upgraded lines from narrow gauge to standard gauge operable through high speed line to conventional lines

  4. Shinkansen Network Mini-Shinkansen *Length: Business mile N. Yanase - Workshop High Speed Rail, Warsaw, 16.11.2011

  5. Traffic Volume of Shinkansen Passenger volume of high speed in the world in Passenger-km(2009) 76 Billion Passenger-km World total: 221 Billion Passenger-km Number of yearly passengersfor Shinkansen Around 900 thousands passengers per day on average (2010 fiscal year) N. Yanase - Workshop High Speed Rail, Warsaw, 16.11.2011

  6. Revenue of Shinkansen Conventional line 2010 Fiscal Year Shinkansen line Made from the data on JR East, JR Central, and JR West homepage. N. Yanase - Workshop High Speed Rail, Warsaw, 16.11.2011

  7. Shinkansen share vs Airplane Area – Area 2010 fiscal year (Apr. – Mar.) (Time data is of Feb. 2011) % Tokyo-Yamagata Tokyo-Nagoya Tokyo-Osaka Osaka-Fukuoka Tokyo-Aomori Rail share vs airplane Tokyo-Akita Tokyo-Okayama Tokyo-Hiroshima Tokyo-Fukuoka Travel time by Rail (hours) Made from the data on JR East, JR Central, and JR West homepage. N. Yanase - Workshop High Speed Rail, Warsaw, 16.11.2011

  8. Figures • Safety No fatal accidents in 47 years • Speed 300km/h (Sanyo, Tohoku) • Punctualty 0.3 min/train (Tohoku) • Frequency 15 trains/hour at maximum • Environment Less energy consumption, Low noise,… “Average delay time”: total “delay time” of all trains/ total train number, and the “delay time” is counted if it is larger than 1 minute. Data between 1999-2009 N. Yanase - Workshop High Speed Rail, Warsaw, 16.11.2011

  9. Variety of Shinkansen rolling stock • Variety of market: demand of each JR • Inauguration of new technologies 300 700 N700 100 300 500 700, 700-7000 N700, N700-7000 200 E1 E2, E2-1000 E3 E3-1000, E3-2000 E4 E5 800 N700-8000 Total number of train sets: approx. 380 Total number of cars: approx. 4450 N.

  13. Preventive measures for natural event • Earthquake • Earthquake observation system and early earthquake detection network Example of JR East Seismometer Substations Seismometers along tracks Seismometers along coastline Ｎ Signals to stop electric power supply after earthquake detection Power outage activates emergency brake of the train within 2.58sec. N. Yanase - Workshop High Speed Rail, Warsaw, 16.11.2011

  14. Preventive measures for natural event • Measures against snow fall Ballast screen installation to avoid ballast scattering by snow fallen from trains High-pressure water jet for switches Water sprinkler N. Yanase - Workshop High Speed Rail, Warsaw, 16.11.2011
