The impact of new Shinkansen lines (Tohoku Shinkansen (Hachinohe – Shin-Aomori) and Kyusyu Shinkansen (Hakata – Shin-Yatsushiro))

open access: yesTransportation Research Procedia, 2017
Abstract This paper shows Shinkansen's various benefits on the region. New Shinkansen line is expected to increase interregional transportation and consequently revitalize the regional economy. For the next Shinkansen development, it is quite important to analyze benefits from the completed Shinkansen lines.

Pedigree Aerodynamic Shape Design of High-Speed Trains [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2022
The aerodynamic performance of high-speed trains is closely related to their head shape. As each train set has its own modelling system, the aerodynamic shape design of head type of a high-speed train must follow a pedigree modelling approach.

Model experiments on the influence of tunnel hood cross-sectional area on the reduction of the pressure gradient of the compression wavefront in high-speed railways

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2023
Micro-pressure wave emission from tunnel portals in high-speed railways causes environmental issues. Tunnel hoods installed in the tunnel portals reduce the micro-pressure wave emission by reducing the pressure gradient of the compression wavefront ...

Methodology for identifying aerodynamic sound sources and mitigation measures for bogies in high-speed trains

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2020
Noise generated from Shinkansen trains mainly consists of wheel/rail noise, bridge noise and aerodynamic noise. Generally rolling noise and structure-borne noise from a viaduct increase in proportional to the second to third power of the train speed ...
