일본 정부는 도쿄∼나고야 구간, 286㎞를 40분에 주파하는 '리니어 신칸센' 사업 착공을 인가했습니다. 리니어 신칸센은 일본이 독자적으로 개발한 초전도 리니어 기술을 고속철도에 도입한 것으로 건설회사인 'JR 도카이'는 2027년 도쿄∼나고야 구간을 먼저 개통한 후 2045년 오사카까지 연장한다는 계획입니다.     현재의 신칸센으로는 도쿄∼나고야 구간이 1시간 28분, 오사카까지는 2시간 18분 걸리지만 리니어 신칸센이 완공되면 각각 40분, 1시간 7분으로 단축됩니다.   리니어 신칸센은 초전도 현상으로 발생한 강력한 자력을 이용하기 때문에 열차가 선로에서 10㎝가량 떠서 운행하며 최고 시속 500㎞ 이상으로 주행할 수 있습니다.   일본은 리니어 신칸센 건설을 41년 전 국가 기본계획으로 결정했지만 그 이후 인구 감소 등 사회 환경이 바뀌었기 때문에 리니아 건설의 타당성을 재검토할 필요가 있다는 지적이 제기돼 왔습니다.

5 Things to Know About Japan’s Shinkansen Bullet

Trains

 

Japan’s shinkansen bullet trains began operating 50 years ago on Oct. 1, 1964, only nine days before the opening ceremony of the first Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo.    Since then, they have carried 5.6 billion passengers between Tokyo and Osaka. Here are some facts about the shinkansen and its evolution over the years. 1 Oct 2014 12:35am By Jun Hongo     1 BULLET TRAINS WERE BELIEVED TO BE OUTDATED BACK IN THE 1950s Share on Twitter  According to Central Japan Railway Co., there was a plan to build a high-speed railway in Japan by at least 1887, or 15 years after the first train ran  in the country between Tokyo and Yokohama. But budget constraints and World War II delayed its development. By the 1950s many also believed airplanes and automobiles would overtake railways as the predominant means of transportation. 2 SHINKANSEN TRAINS HAVE KEPT EVOLVING OVER THE YEARS Share on Twitter  The original shinkansen could take travelers from Tokyo to Osaka in approximately 4 hours. That time has been cut to 2 hours and 25 minutes today. Meanwhile, the fee for making that trip cost ¥2,480 back then, compared with today’s ¥14,450 ($132). There were 333 shinkansen trains in operation between Tokyo and Osaka in 2012 per day, carrying an average of 391,000 people at a maximum speed of 270 kilometers per hour. 3 THE AVERAGE DELAY OF A SHINKANSEN IS LESS THAN A MINUTE Share on Twitter  The average delay of a shinkansen traveling between Tokyo and Osaka was 36 seconds in 2012. That includes delays due to heavy rain and other natural disasters. In sharp contrast, Amtrak states on its website that trains traveling 400 kilometers or less are considered “on time” if they arrive within 10 minutes of schedule. There have been no fatal accidents involving passengers aboard a shinkansen to date.    4 ATOM & PEACE WERE CONSIDERED AS NAMES Shinkansens in operation between Tokyo and Osaka include the Kodama (Echo), the Hikari (Ray of Light) and Nozomi (Hope). Back in 1964, JR asked the public to submit name proposals and received nearly 560,000 replies. Some of the candidates included Atom, the popular animation character known as Astro Boy overseas, as well as Inazuma (Lightning), Heiwa (Peace) and Olympia. 5 "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE SHINKANSEN" Share on Twitter  The familiar English announcement on the Tokaido shinkansen is provided by Donna Burke, an Australian singer who has also done voiceovers for animation and other TV commercials. She also provides the English audio guidance at the Emperor Showa Memorial Museum as well as the English hearing sections on the TOEIC language test. http://blogs.wsj.com/briefly/2014/10/01/5-things-to-know-about-japans-shinkansen-bullet-trains-2/
