Evolution Current developments UIC strategy for China & India Trends in civil engineering aspects HIGH SPEED RAIL TRANSPORT
Evolution of high speed on conventional rail wheel technology 550 500 TGV 515.3km/h 300X 443km/h STAR21 425km/h 450 400 Win350 350.4km/h ICE 406.9km/h TGV 380km/h 350 300km/h (km/h) Series 300 325.7km/h 300 Tohoku・Joetsu Line 275km/h 240km/h 270km/h 250 230km/h 220km/h 200 210km/h Tokaido・Sanyo Line 150 100 19801985 1990 19952000 (Year)

Land usage Energy security Environmental issues High Speed rail transport as important aspect of national policy related to:
Asia’s population will be 5 billion, more than 50% in China and India (Shanghai 27 million, Tokyo 29 million, Beijing 22 million habitants with 11 out of 23 mega cities being in Asia) With average car usage alone, China’s carbon emissions will be more than 1 billion tons, equivalent to annual emission from world wide transport today! Impact of economic and population growth In 2025
China will need more than 13 million hectares of land (mostly cropland) related to automobile transport. Constituting more than 50% of 23 million hectares available for cropland Indian economic development will produce similar data Impact on oil reserves is reflected by the fact that 21st century will be consuming 5 times that of 20th century
While fuel efficient cars/ alternative forms of energy and high yield cropping are progressing it is rail transport in particular high speed will play an important role UIC along with CR & IR will work on specific studies UIC will lead a study with UNEP + IEA + WFO to highlight the challenges
