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]
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.
