3 3 1 OUTLINE OF JR EAST
4 OUTLINE OF JR EAST 4 JR East is the largest passenger railway company in Japan Network: 7,513 km No. of passengers: 17 million /day No. of trains: 13,000 /day Operating revenue: $22.9billion /year Net income: $1.7billion /year ($1 = 118 YEN) Employees: 59,240 Tokyo
5 OUTLINE OF JR EAST Large quantity leads to Quality BACKGROUND Consequently, high quality Massive traffic We transport 17 million passengers / day volume The quality of our service must meet high expectations and are subject to strict evaluation from people and society in Japan. 1. High frequency 2. High capacity 3. Safety 4. Punctuality need Shinkansen: every 4 minutes. Conventional line: every 2 minutes. A single train can carry 3 to 4 thousand passengers. need Shinkansen fatalities: 0 since Shinkansen service began in need The most important The average time delay per Shinkansen train is less than 1 minutes. (including as results of natural disasters.) 5. Speediness The Shinkansen maximum commercial speed 320km/h Direct through-service 5

12 TOKYO METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK 12 Diagram Planning -- Using Platform Using two railway tracks alternately during peak hours, shortening the train interval. 2 nd, 4 th,- - - Platform 1 st, 3 rd, - - -
13 TOKYO METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK Diagram Planning -- Recovery Margin Setting method for recovery margins of train operation One of the keys for stable operation in the planning phase. Can recover Delay Figure: train diagram Equilibrium between train running time and recovery margin 13
14 TOKYO METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK Control by the Second Crossing at grade Overtaking Control by the second lead to punctuality Each driver checks arr./dep. time by the second scale at capital stations Recovery operation within regulated speed Crossing at grade or Overtaking as scheduled ( = punctuality ) Punctuality is kept by checking time in small increments 14

17 TOKYO METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK 17 Issues in Metropolitan Area Transport Congestion Concentration to metropolitan area Major stations are over-crowded with transfer passengers this slows passenger flow Congestion on platform Congestion in transferring We enhance passenger convenience with direct-through service Introducing some chief examples
18 TOKYO METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK Shonan-Shinjuku Line Before Takasaki Line Utsunomiya Line Takasaki Line Utsunomiya Line Ikebukuro Shinjuku Passengers have to Yamanote transfer Line at Shinagawa station Direct-Through Service Utsunomiya Takasaki Lines (Via Shinjuku) to Tokaido Yokosuka Lines Since 2001 We have connected four routes Ueno Tokyo Shinagawa Shinjuku Terminal station 40 min Yokohama Shinagawa 50km 18
19 TOKYO METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK Shonan-Shinjuku Line After Utsunomiya Line Takasaki Line Direct-Through Service Utsunomiya Takasaki Lines (Via Shinjuku) to Tokaido Yokosuka Lines Since 2001 We have connected four routes Shonan-Shinjuku Line Ikebukuro Shinjuku Ueno Tokyo Freight trains have decreased, tracks now also being used for passenger trains Greater convenience through more efficient use of existing tracks Tokaido Line Yokosuka Line 50km 19
20 TOKYO METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK 20 What s changed? Takasaki Line Utsunomiya Line Before Keihin Tohoku Line Yamanote Line Ueno Tokyo Shinagawa Utsunomiya Line Takasaki Line Tokaido Line Joban Line After Yamanote Line Ueno Tokyo Shinagawa Utsunomiya Line Takasaki Line Joban Line Tokaido Line Extension Shonan-Shinjuku Line Shinjuku Omiya Akabane Ueno Tokyo Toride Joban Line We enhanced passenger convenience by adding a direct north-south link between Ueno and Tokyo Yokohama Tokaido,Yokosuka Line Shinagawa Shonan-Shinjuku Line Utsunomiya,Takasaki Line Joban Line(Long Distance) Joban Line(Rapid Service)
21 TOKYO METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK 21 Effects of Direct-Through Service Congestion reduced and travel time shortened In 2000 In 2002 In Less congestion 202% 193% 180% 2 Shortered travel time 40 min 29 min 27 min 22% decrease 13 min shortened Before the opening After the opening 1 Yamanote Line congestion rate decreased after the Shonan Shinjuku line opening (morning commuter rush hour) 2 Travel time from Yokohama to Shinjuku shortened (Transfer at Shinagawa between Yamanote and Tokaido Lines are no longer needed) Congestion alleviated and travel time reduced with direct-through service We have other ways to reduce congestion in addition to eliminating transfers. The more convenient railway The more passengers by trains.

36 FEATURES OF SHINKANSEN 36 Optimization of Operation Safe and reliable operation can lead to the most efficient operation with the minimum infrastructures and minimum rolling stock. Punctuality is very important also from the viewpoint of operation and maintenance cost. The train delays increase operation and maintenance cost.
37 FEATURES OF SHINKANSEN Optimization of Operation Quick turnaround at Tokyo terminal station With a 12-minute turnaround, we can provide very frequent service with minimum rolling stock 4 minute headways = high frequency 400 trains per day => Minimum rolling stock (CAPEX) simplify station layout and infrastructure only 2 platforms with 4 tracks => Minimum infrastructure (CAPEX) 37
38 FEATURES OF SHINKANSEN 38 Safety of Shinkansen Safety is the top priority of railway operation, especially for HSR. 1 Reliable System 2 Maintenance System 0 fatalities since opening in 1964

40 FEATURES OF SHINKANSEN 40 Basic Philosophy in Systemization of COSMOS For human to properly judge and promptly process, Establishment of a system to increase efficiency and power for human thinking and working Human makes judgment, while computers do discrimination. Human makes decisions, while computers choose and rank candidates. For a discrepancy with original plans, computers ask for human directions. For control systems, human operates on information processing levels.
41 41 FEATURES OF SHINKANSEN Characteristics of COSMOS System Provision of optimal traffic control technology for high-speed & highdensity operation Realization of a total system for integrated management of train operation plans, maintenance plans, information of train presence on tracks etc. Drastic expansion of systemization for stations, rolling stock bases, and maintenance depots Improvement of information service Control system decentralized to stations based on wide-area large-scale autonomous decentralized philosophy (highly-responsive automatic control system) Traffic operation rescheduling with real-time train operation simulation (projection) Reliable transmission of diagram changes (command transmission function) Maintenance management system Transport planning system Traffic control system Electric power system control system Maintenance planning support system Maintenance work system Yard route control system On-board transmission system Provision of accident information Detailed guidance service to passengers
42 FEATURES OF SHINKANSEN Reliable System Service operation and Maintenance in the single integrated system 6:00 0:00 Service operation hours Maintenance hours Confirmation car This is the car that runs on the track after maintenance work is finished, to confirm safety for the first commercial train Maintenance work is done during midnight hours, between the arrival of the last commercial train and the departure of the first one. This provides a period of several hours for maintenance to increase the level of safety. Copyright 2014 East Japan Railway Company ALL Rights Reserved. 42

(the fastest) Higher Ride Comfort More Noise Reduction Reduction of other aerodynamical effect
44 FEATURES OF SHINKANSEN Customer Satisfaction Full-active Suspension / Car Body Tilting System Improved Running Performance Improved Ride Quality Full-active Suspension System Electric actuators with high responsiveness Car Body Tilting System Maximum of 1.5 Degree can navigate curves of 4,000m in radius at 320km/h Vibration Detection Sensor Vibration Prevention with an electric actuator 44
45 4 CONCLUSION 45
46 46 CONCLUSION The Balance of Safety and Punctuality Safety Punctuality Even when trouble occurs, there must be a balance between "safety" and "punctuality. We must always pursue a balance between ultimate safety and punctuality. Customer expectations Competition with other companies To become more severe
47 CONCLUSION Our Mission To always advance in order to meet and overcome problems <Issues> Station and train congestion Inconvenience of transfers <Countermeasures> Direct through service Suica IC card service <New issues> Service management more complex <New countermeasures> For vehicle trouble For unusual events More accurate, timely information We aim for both Safety and Punctuality Safety is the top priority for railway management. Safety and punctuality are the basis for all operations. We aim for further improvement in high density and safe train operations 47
