  13. Today’s Discussion • Overview of HSR around the world; including in the U.S. • Overview of the Tokaido Shinkansen • CJR and the Tokaido Shinkansen • About Shinkansen System • Impact of HSR on society • Future Prospect • Deploy N 700-I into international market • SCMAGLEV • Conclusion

  14. Central Japan Railway Company (JRC) Tokaido Shinkansen Kyoto Nagoya Tokyo Osaka Tokyo-Osaka: 320 miles Operates the Tokaido Shinkansen, high-speed rail linking Japan’s most populous cities—Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka Operates conventional rail in the Central Japan area

  15. Tokaido Shinkansen: Tokyo—Osaka HSR • The world’s FIRST high-speed rail • Operational since 1964 (*French TGV since 1981, German ICE since 1991) • Remains the leading high-speed rail in the world today Series 0 (1964) 1st Generation 130 mph Series N700 (2007) 5th Generation 168mph, Sanyo 188mph

  16. Travel Time: Tokyo—Osaka Tokyo - Osaka 320miles Travel Time (hours) Commencement of Operation (130mph) 7 6:30 6 Series 100 Series 300 (168mph) Series 700 Series 0 5 4:00 4 3:10 2:56 2:52 3 2:30 2:25 2 Deployment of SCMAGLEV (310mph) 1:00 1 Debut of Series N700 (168mph, Sanyo 188mph) 59% △ 1992 1964 1965 1986 2007 1990

  17. Tokaido Shinkansen Operational Data (FY2010.3) *1 Including extra services *2 Including delays due to uncontrollable causes, such as natural disasters 17

  18. Keys to Success • Totally new design concept to ensure the safety in HSR operation • Total system approach through the integrated management of hardware & software • Continuous innovation through introduction of new technologies

  19. Totally New Design Concept • The Shinkansen System design is based on a totally new design concept to ensure safety in HSR by eliminating operational risk. • The fundamental element is, • A dedicated, closed passenger rail system with full grade separations as well as segregation of passenger and freight traffic • This allows us to not compromise on: • other traffic • traditional standard on conventional railways • introducing new ideas into system

  20. Why are dedicated tracks needed? Mixed tracks : !! ♪ ♪ Dedicated tracks : ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

  21. The Shinkansen: A Total System Approach The Shinkansen is a Total HSR System. Not just combination of hardware (e.g.,rollingstock, ground facilities and tracks, signal system ”ATC” etc) The safety and the high quality of the Tokaido Shinkansen is enabled by the integrated management of the system’s hardware and software. Total System Approach of the “High-Speed Railway System” Hardware Software - Rolling stock - Ground facilities and tracks - Signal system “ATC” (onboard and ground facilities) - Disaster prevention facilities - Protective facilities - Safety promotion structure - Employee Education and Aptitude - Maintenance - Operation management 21

  22. 22 Transition of Tokaido Shinkansen Rolling Stock 1964 1985 1992 1999 2007 Early series rolling stock New generation rolling stock Substantial reduction in the weight of rolling stock and introduction of the latest power electronics technologies - Steel car body - Conventional bogie - DC motor drive - Aluminum alloy carbody - Bolsterless bogie - Asynchronous motor drive (VVVF control) - Regenerative brake Series 0 Series 100 Series 700 Series 300 Series N700 711t (1,580kips) 972t (2,142kips) 925t (2,039kips) 708t (1,567kips) 715t (1,576kips)

  32. Today’s Discussion • Overview of HSR around the world; including in the U.S. • Overview of the Tokaido Shinkansen • CJR and the Tokaido Shinkansen • About Shinkansen System • Impact of HSR on society • Future Prospect • Deploy N 700-I into international market • SCMAGLEV • Conclusion

  33. “N700-I Bullet” for International Markets • JRC offers the “N700-I Bullet”for sale to international markets “N700-I Bullet” at 205 mphcruising speed • “N700-I Bullet”: based on proven “N700 Bullet” technology • Configuration is flexible—can adjust from 6 to 16 cars

  34. Superconducting MAGLEV (SCMAGLEV) • Revolutionary levitated transport system • World’s fastest train • Recorded manned speed: 361 mph • Planned commercial operation: 310 mph • Running test on Yamanashi test line(1997〜） • Cumulative distance travelled: >800,000km • Practical commercial application established YouTube Fastest

  35. The Tokaido Shinkansen Bypass Project Increased speed will reduce travel time between Tokyo and Nagoya from 95 to 40 minutes. Tokyo Yamanashi Maglev Test Line(42.8km) TokaidoShinkansen Nagoya Tokaido Shinkansen515 km Tokaido Shinkansen Bypass ( Aiming for operation launch by 2027 ) Osaka Yamanashi Maglev Test Line (priority section) Yamanashi Maglev Test Line

  36. Conclusions • HSR is booming globally and soon the U.S. will realize true high-speed rail !? • The Tokaido Shinkansen is the leading HSR in the world and the critical keys to its success are: • Totally New Design Concept • Total System Approach • Continuous innovation • HSR has enormous impacts on the society • Next HSR system: JRC is developing its SCMGLEV -- the most innovative and transformational mode of transportation in the world.

  37. JRC in the United States • U.S.-Japan High-Speed Rail (USJHSR) • U.S. company teamed with JRC to market and deploy the N700-I Bullet Train internationally, including in the U.S. • Founded in association with JRC in 2009 and is headquartered in Washington, DC. • U.S.-Japan MAGLEV (USJMAGLEV) • U.S. company teamed with JRC to market and deploy its Superconducting MAGLEV technology internationally, including in the U.S. • Founded in association with JRC in 2009 • Headquartered in Washington, DC
