1 High Speed Rail, is not Higher Speed Rail. Mega-Projects Worldwide JR-EAST (East Japan Railway Company) APTA Annual Conference 2016

2 The first high speed rail in the world

3 Itʼs a System.. not a product. Mega-Projects Worldwide APTA Annual Conference 2016

Share information and knowledge of Crash Avoidance high speed rail principle and experience with countries and entities aiming to develop safe high speed rail systems. Establish Crash Avoidance based HSR as an international standard for high speed 6

11 Two Principles of HSR Mega-Projects Worldwide APTA Annual Conference 2016

12 The Two Principles of High Speed Rail in The World 1. Crash Avoidance Principle Dedicated high speed passenger rail service Proven Automatic Train Control (ATC) System High Speed Rail System Achieve Safety, Reliability, High Frequency, Large Capacity, Energy Efficiency Built as a stand alone system which is completely separated from other rail services, and focusing on high speed passenger rail service 2016 IHRA 12

13 The Two Principles of High Speed Rail in The World 2. Interoperability Principle Extend networks of high speed passenger rail with operation entering into conventional lines Extend cross boarder operation High Speed Rail System Extending high speed rail networks, utilizing the existing infrastructure of conventional lines Considering regulations and/or standards of conventional lines and each county 2016 IHRA 13

14 Benefits of Crash Avoidance Based HSR System Mega-Projects Worldwide APTA Annual Conference 2016

15 Crash Avoidance Based High Speed Rail System Safety Million / Year 0 Fatalities 51 years IHRA 15

16 Crash Avoidance Based High Speed Rail System Safety Examples of Serious Accidents of HSR 2016 IHRA 16

17 Crash Avoidance Based High Speed Rail System High Frequency High frequent operation can be realized, utilizing high speed trains with equivalent performance, because there are no other slower trains on the track. Train operations can be increased in accordance with the increase of demand IHRA 17

18 Crash Avoidance Based High Speed Rail System Large Capacity Series N700 has a wider carbody, enabling three by two seating, while the carbody width of European high speed trains are limited by the clearance diagram of conventional rails. 3,360 mm Rolling stock gauge 2,904 mm* 1,435 mm Series N700 Shinkansen (Large capacity) 1,435 mm European high speed trains (Small capacity) *TGV POS, _database_Rollingstock HS trains, UIC 2016 IHRA 18

19 Crash Avoidance Based High Speed Rail System Large Capacity Because Crash Avoidance HSR system departs from conventional rail regulations and/or standards, the rolling stock can have wider car bodies with larger seating capacity. Width (mm) Seat Pitch(mm) Seats/Car (No./car) Series E Series N TGV R ICE Wider car body and frequent operation realize large capacity of Shinkansen 2016 IHRA 19

20 Crash Avoidance Based High Speed Rail System Energy Efficiency Weight of rolling stock can be reduced significantly, because there is no need to incorporate crashworthiness features into the rolling stock system. Shinkansen Shinkansen TGV R ICE3 Series E5 Series N700 Train Weight (ton) * Train Weight/Seat (ton/seat) *Unloaded train data 2016 IHRA 20

21 Crash Avoidance Based High Speed Rail System Energy Efficiency Energy Consumption per Seat (wh/km/seat) N700 TGV-POS ICE-3 Comparison of Energy Consumption per Passenger Seat (Tokyo Osaka) Series N700 Nozomi (90MJ/Passenger *1 ) Basis Air (B ) (746MJ/Passenger *2 ) Eight Times *1 Calculated by JRC, based on running performance of N700. *2 Calculated by JRC while referencing the data of B flying from Haneda to Itami/Kansai Airport shown in ANA s Annual Report IHRA 21

22 Early Earthquake Detection System 27 trains were operated on the Tohoku Shinkansen at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake (Magnitude of 9.0) on March 11, Thanks to our early earthquake detection system, no passengers were injured during this earthquake.

23 Managing the Costs of HSR System Mega-Projects Worldwide APTA Annual Conference 2016

24 How will you pay the cost? Track Preference: Economical cost Slab vs. Ballast track Slab track About 90 percent of JR-EAST Shinkansen track is slab track These slabs are 5 meters long. Ballast track Conventional type of track structure Copyright 2014 East Japan Railway Company ALL Rights Reserved. 24

25 How will you pay the cost? Track Preference: Economical cost Repairing by manpower Mechanized repairing with tamping machine Ballast tracks need periodic repairing. Copyright 2014 East Japan Railway Company ALL Rights Reserved. 25

26 How will you pay the cost? Track Preference: Economical cost Comparison of total cost between Slab Track & Ballast Track US$/m Total cost balances after less than 10 years in Japan Total cost 1,500 Slab track Total cost Slab Track 1,300 Ballast track Construction cost Copyright 2014 East Japan Railway Company ALL Rights Reserved. Year Ballast Track 26

27 How will you pay the cost? Track Preference: Economical cost Small cross section without passages for maintenance Low construction cost of tunnels Tunnel sections Passages for maintenance Inner section R=4,750 R=6, m2 Inner section 90 m2 軌道中心間隔 4.3m 軌道中心間隔 4.5m 4.3m 4.5m Copyright 2014 East Japan Railway Company ALL Rights Reserved. 27

28 How will you pay the cost? Track Preference: Social cost Energy consumption Max. speed Series 200 (1982) mph (240km/h) Series E2 (1997) mph (275km/h) Series E5 (2011) mph (320km/h) Speed: +50 mph, Energy: 33% Copyright 2014 East Japan Railway Company ALL Rights Reserved. 28

29 How will you pay the cost? Rolling Track Stock Preference: Social cost Safety: 0 fatalities since Reliable System 2 Maintenance System 3 Disaster Countermeasures 4 Education and Training Safety is always top priority. Copyright 2014 East Japan Railway Company ALL Rights Reserved. 29

30 Conclusion Mega-Projects Worldwide APTA Annual Conference 2016

31 Total System Approach to the Shinkansen The Proven Shinkansen System has been established by a Total System Approach to HSR for over fifty years. The high speed rail system is composed of not only hardware but also software, both of which are living systems that interact with each other. Through managing both Hardware and Software in an integrated way, Japanese HSR realized Safety, Reliability, High frequency, Large capacity and Environmental adaptability. Hardware Dedicated tracks for HSR Signaling system, ATC Rolling stock Electrical facilities Disaster countermeasure Integrate Software Operation Maintenance Employee education/training Employee aptitude The Total System Approach is a Vital Component of the Principle of Crash Avoidance IHRA 31
