1 Engineering Services Department A Global Solution in Public Works Project China s High Speed Rail Network Susan Pan, P.E., Manager of Engineering County of Ventura, Planning of the HSR Network Planning the HSR Network since 1990s. In 2001 passenger travel: 55% by highway, 36% by railway, 8% by airline, 1% by waterway. National debate of high speed train using standard gauge tracks or magnetic levitation tracks. Magnetic Levitation line between Shanghai Pudong Airport and City opened in 2004; 19 miles in 7 min. top speed of 270 mph; cost of $1.3 billion. Title goes here 1

2 China s HSR Network In 2004, the central government approved the Medium and Long Term Plan of Railway Network included 4 north-south HSR lines and 4 east-west HSR lines. All four north-south lines have been completed by The four east-west lines to be completed between 2013 and China HSR Network Title goes here 2

3 HSR Network Building Program HSR is 124 mph (200 km/hr) or faster. Average HSR speed is 186 mph (300 km/hr). 6,200 miles of HSR in service as of December Upgraded conventional railways and newly built high-speed passenger designated lines. Daily ridership has grown from 237,000 passengers in 2007 to 1.33 million in HSR ticket price is twice conventional train s but is four times faster. HSR program spending $100 to $130 billion per year between 2010 and Plan to complete the HSR network of 16,000 miles by 2017 connecting 42 major cities at $750 billion. Average construction cost of $45 million per mile. Beijing-Shanghai HSR Line Connects the most important economic zone: 27% population and 45% GDP. Travels 820 miles in 4.5 hours at top speed of 235 mph. costs $37 billion. In service since July Beijing South Station Title goes here 3

4 Beijing & Shanghai HSR Stations Train departs every 15 min. between 6 AM and 11 PM. 24 train stops available. Each train ride makes 6 stops. Each train carries 1300 passengers. HSR travel time: 4.5 hrs; One way fare $90. Air travel takes 2.5 hrs plus 2.5 hrs airport transfer time; airfare $220 one way. Shanghai Hongqiao Station Shanghai Metro System Title goes here 4

5 Shanghai City in 1938 and 2013 Beijing-Shanghai HSR Construction Over 80% of the Beijing-Shanghai HSR is laid on viaducts due to sedimentary coastal soils. The Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge with 6 HSR tracks, 48,500 feet long and 5,300 ft waterway span. Title goes here 5

6 Justification 1.3 billion population; mostly in the provinces along the Pacific coast and the Yellow and Yangtzi Rivers. In 2012, 60% population in the major cities: 23 million in Shanghai and 20 million in Beijing. Projected 75% population in the major cities by In 2012, over 300 million people traveled during peak travel demand of Chinese New Year holidays. In 2012, over 2 billion passenger trips were taken. For travel distance less than 600 miles, it costs half the price and about the same or less time to travel by HSR than by airplane. It costs twice as much but four time faster to travel by HSR than by car. Benefits Improves economic productivity and competitiveness. Stimulates the economy in the short term. The Beijing-Shanghai HSR project employed 110,000 workers. Promotes growth of urban centers and limits sprawl. Improves energy independence and environmental sustainability. Develops a domestic HSR industry. Chinese designed CRH380A Cars and equip. manufacturers Engineering and construction companies Title goes here 6

7 Funding The National Development and Reform Commission approves the program. China Ministry of Railways administer the program. Central government finance 50% of the projects through lending and equity investment by state banks, 40% by MOR issues bonds, 10% by provincial and local governments. Central government funds the design and construction; local governments fund the land acquisition and relocation costs. Taiwan HSR 214 miles of HSR between Taipei and Kaohsiung in 1.5 hrs at top speed 186 mph. Project cost: $18 billion. Reaching 90% of population. In service since train stops. One way fare $50. Ridership grew from 15.5 million passenger trips (2007) to 44.5 million (2012). Net income from $1 billion loss (2007) to $120 million profit (2012). Replaced the domestic airlines.

8 Taiwan HSR Taipei 101 Building HSR 700T Train HSR Stations Planned California HSR Initially 520 miles of HSR from SF to LA at 220 mph in 2.5 hrs built by Total cost $68.4 billion: $10 bil. in bonds, $3.3 bil. from Fed., $55.1 bil. from private. Later to Sacramento and San Diego for a total 800 miles of HSR, up to 24 stations. First segment of the Initial Operating Section from Madera to Bakersfield will cost $6 billion: $3.3 billion from federal and $2.6 billion from Prop. 1A bond fund. State-wide rail modernization plan to invest billions of dollars in local and regional rail lines. Title goes here 8

9 United State High Speed Rail System Proposed by U.S. High Speed Rail Association Supported by the Obama Administration 17,000 miles of national HSR system Build in four phases Costs $500 billion Link 80% of U.S. population Benefits Revitalize our economy Reactivate manufacturing sector Create millions of jobs Reduce oil dependency Reduce traffic congestion Cut carbon footprint by epic proportions Building a new system of HSR in America will be faster, cheaper, and easier than building more freeways or adding to an already over-burdened aviation system and everyone stands to benefit, President Obama in Title goes here 9

12 Three-tiered Integrated Rail Network The backbone first tier is the HSR system connecting major cities. The second tier is regional and commuter rails system connecting regional cities. The third tier is the metro systems, light rail, streetcars and trams within the metropolitan /urban cities. The End Title goes here 12
