WHAT IS SHINKENSEN

Shinkensen or the high speed bullet train isa fast way laned railway service of speedsupto 500 miles per hour

Japan was the first country to builddedicated railway lines for high speedtravel.

The Tkaid Shinkansen began service on 1October 1964 . The conventional Limited

Express service took six hours and 40

Secret behind the speed

The main difference lies in the followingparameters

A) Routing B) track

C) Signal system

D) Traction control E) Electricity supply

Routing

Shinkansen routes are completelyseparate from conventional rail lines

Shinkansen is not affected by slower localor freight trains and has the capacity tooperate many high-speed trains punctually

The lines have been built without road

crossings. Theyare strictly off-limits withpenalties against trespassing strictlyregulated by law. It uses tunnels andviaducts to go through and over obstacles

rather than around them

Track

The Shinkansen uses 1,435 mm standardgauge.

Continuous welded rail and Swing nose

crossing are employed, eliminating gaps atturnouts and crossings.

Long rails are used, joined by expansionjoints to minimize gauge fluctuation due tothermal elongation and shrinkage.

A combination of ballasted and slab track areused, with slab track exclusively employedon concrete bed sections such as viaductsand tunnels. Slab track is significantly more

cost-effective in tunnel sections, since thelower track hei ht reduces the cross-

Signal system

The Shinkansen employs an ATC (AutomaticTrain Control) system, eliminating the needfor trackside signals. It uses acomprehensive system of Automatic Train

Protection.[5]

Centralized traffic controlmanages all train operations, and all tasksrelating to train movement, track, station andschedule are networked and computerized.

Electricity

Shinkansen uses a 25,000 V AC overheadpower supply (20,000 V AC on Mini-shinkansen lines), to overcome thelimitations of the 1,500 V Direct current used

on the existing electrified narrow-gauges stem. Power is distributed alon the axles

Traction system

The Shinkansen has used the electric multipleunit configuration from the outset, with the 0Series Shinkansen having 100% motored axles.Other railway manufacturers have traditionally

been reluctant to use distributed tractionconfigurations: - Talgo has persisted with theLocomotive configuration with the AVE Class102 and plans to continue with it for the TalgoAvril on account of the fact that it is not possible

to motor bogies used as part of the TalgoPendular system. On the other hand, significantengineering desirability exists for the electricmultiple unit configuration in Japan. A greaterproportion of motored axles results in higher

acceleration, meaning that the Shinkansen doesnot lose so much time if sto in fre uentl : -

Advancements

A Bullet train that never stops

The technology is based on the concept of adetachable frail car end that turns out to thebackside of the train and is replaced by newpassengers as shown in this clipping.
