Agenda 16 1. Outline of JR East 2. Characteristics of Shinkansen 3. Essence of Shinkansen management 4. Station Development
Punctuality is the mother for everything~shorten total trip time Shorten total trip time Origin Destination Ticket Purchase Transfer Station HSR Station Conventional line train Last one mile Reduce ticket purchase time Shorten in-station time Eliminate train transfers Park & Ride System Transfer Station HSR Conventional line train 17
Essence of Shinkansen management 18 Safety The top priority for HSR management Shortened total trip time Punctuality Cost efficiency Increase in ridership Low OPEX (Operation & Maintenance) Low CAPEX More feasible plan Mutual relationship
Efficient Operation Quick turnaround at Tokyo terminal station With a 12 minutes turnaround, we can 0 00 2 00 9 00 12 00 provide very frequent service with minimum rolling stock 4 minutes headways with a high operating ratio => Minimum rolling stock (CAPEX) simplify station layout and infrastructure only 2 platforms with 4 tracks => Minimum infrastructure(capex) 19
Efficient Operation Quick turnaround at Tokyo terminal station Simplify station layout and infrastructure - Land made available by more efficient operation should be developed as a commercial zone. Our office buildings and hotels are built around Tokyo Station on land owned by JR East. - Train storage should be at operating depots, not at the terminal stations; depots should be located near the terminal stations. Distance between depots and terminal stations in JR East: Tokyo 8.5 km, Sendai 10.4 km, Morioka 4.1 km, Niigata 5.1 km, Nagano 9.9 km 4~10 km 20
