style=\"text-align:justify\">\u003Cstrong>正確性・高頻度\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">新幹線を語る上で外せない大きな特徴が、ダイヤの正確性です。JR東海のアニュアルレポート2020によると、1日あたりの列車本数は378本、輸送人員は45万8千人。東京駅を発車する新幹線は、高速鉄道としては類を見ない平均3分30秒間隔で、多くの外国人旅行者が驚くと言います。さらに、過密ダイヤにもかかわらず、運行1列車あたりの平均遅延時間はたったの0.2分。これは大雨、豪雪などの自然災害による遅延も含めたもので、通常の運行における遅延は限りなく「ゼロ」という驚異の定時運行率を誇っています。\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">なぜこの神業とも言えるダイヤが実現できるのか？その理由の1つが、「15秒単位」で刻まれた運行ダイヤです。駅の時刻表を見ると、「分単位」で記載されていますが、実際は0秒発、15秒発、30秒発、45秒発のいずれか。乗務員用の時刻表には、「6:00:15（秒）」「6:00:30（秒）」のように15秒単位で記載されています。少しでも遅延が発生すると、新幹線総合指令所に警報が出され、指令員の指示のもと、乗務員、各駅のスタッフが一丸となって全力でダイヤの回復にあたります。\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">東海道新幹線を運行するJR東海のスタッフの制服、その左腕には「りんどうの花」が刺繍されています。りんどうの花言葉は「正義」「正確」。正確性・定時性への飽くなき信念は、こんなところにも表れています。\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">\u003Cstrong>安全性\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">「乗車中の旅客の死傷事故が開業以来ゼロ」。新幹線は類い稀な安全性を備えていることも、大きなトピックです。超高速運転を行う新幹線は急停車が難しく、時速300kmで走ると停車まで約4kmは要するといわれており、線路内に何かの拍子に障害物が侵入するだけで大事故につながる可能性があります。そこで急ブレーキが必要な状況を作らないよう、どんな小さな道とも一切平面交差しない専用の軌道を敷くこと、そして列車同士の衝突と速度超過を防ぐため、列車間の距離に基づいて出力可能な速度を制限し、その速度を超えれば、自動的にその速度までブレーキをかけるATCシステム（Automatic Train Control：自動列車制御装置）を導入すること。主にこの２つの仕組みを軸に衝突の可能性をできる限り排除することが、新幹線の安全性に対する考え方の基本となっています。\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">しかし、どれだけ衝突の回避を徹底しても、その安全性を不可抗力で脅かすのが「自然災害」です。日本はその地理的条件から、台風や地震などが発生しやすい場所。悪天候や地震による運転停止を厳格に行うほか、構造物の強化をはじめとする地震対策、地震以外にも津波、雨、浸水、風、落石・なだれ、雪など、あらゆる事態を想定した対策が徹底して行われています。そうした取り組みが功を奏し、2011年の東日本大震災発生時も「早期地震検知システム」が作動し、高架線柱の損傷など被害は生じたものの、重大事故は発生しませんでした。その他にも、技量向上訓練や異常時対応訓練、不測の事態に備えた社員教育など枚挙にいとまがないですが、あらゆる事態を想定した地道な安全対策の積み重ねが新幹線の安全性を支えています。\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">\u003Cstrong>環境性\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">新幹線は、多くの人が抱くイメージ以上に、環境負荷の低い乗り物でもあります。地球温暖化に与える影響が大きいとされるCO₂ですが、そもそも鉄道は国内全体の旅客輸送量のうち約30％を担っているにもかかわらず、CO₂排出量では7％を占めるにすぎません。さらに航空機との比較では、新幹線は東京～新大阪間を移動する際の1座席あたりのエネルギー消費量は約8分の1で、CO₂排出量は約12分の1です。\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">なぜこうした低負荷が可能なのか？その1つの要因が、車両の軽量化の取り組みです。鋼鉄からアルミニウム合金に素材を変更するなど、0系では1両あたり約60トンあった車体は、N700系では約44トンまで軽量に。消費電力も削減され、結果的にCO₂排出量の削減に貢献しています。\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">また新幹線は、ブレーキをかけた際に生まれたエネルギーを、架線を通して他の列車で再利用。カーブを通過する際も、わずか1度傾いて走ることで、スピードを落とさず、少ない電力で走ることができます。さらにその役目を終えて廃車する場合も、発生する廃棄物の約90%（重量比）をリサイクルしています。こうした取り組みが認められ、東海道新幹線は、地球温暖化防止活動環境大臣表彰や地球環境大賞などを受賞。省エネルギーな車両開発など、環境負荷の少ない乗り物であるための新幹線の取り組みは、現在進行形で続いています。\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">\u003Cstrong>快適性\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">超高速走行しているとは思えないような、快適な移動ができることも新幹線の大きな魅力です。静粛性を高めるためのさまざまな取り組み……例えば、車体が揺れ出すと逆方向の力でその揺れを打ち消す装置や、「ガタンコトン」という音を発生させないつなぎ目の少ない「ロングレール」の採用、さらに「車体傾斜システム」という、車体を傾けることによって乗り心地への影響を相殺し、カーブを高速で通過できる装置を搭載するなど、日々進化を遂げています。\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align:justify\">また新幹線の快適性は、フィジカルに感じるものだけにとどまりません。東海道新幹線はどんなに過密ダイヤでも、終着駅に到着すると、清掃スタッフがわずか数分で車内清掃を完了し、気持ち良い状態で新しいお客様をお迎えすることを慣例としています。また、トイレは丁寧で細やかな清掃を怠らず、いつも清潔な状態が保たれており、座席に座っていると、飛行機のようにパーサーがワゴンに載せられた飲み物や軽食、お土産などを車内販売してくれます。清掃スタッフが清掃終了後、丁寧にお辞儀をしながら、新幹線をお見送りするシーンにも象徴されるように、新幹線に乗ることは、日本のおもてなしの精神に触れることでもあります。ハード・ソフト両面でホスピタリティを享受できるのが、新幹線を唯一無二の存在たらしめる一因でもあるのです。\u003C\u002Fp>",[],false,{"fieldId":21,"heading":26,"images":27,"layout":24},"日本のさまざまな新幹線",[],{"fieldId":29,"name":30,"body":31,"svg-pict":32},"pict","0系","\u003Cp

About three-quarters of its terrain is mountainous, with plains along the coast. Since ancient times, people have developed various means of transportation suitable for different geographical conditions, such as ox-drawn carriages and rickshaws before the advent of motorized vehicles, cable cars and trolley trains in mountainous areas, and streetcars in lowland urban areas. \u003Cbr>However, the most notable and most advanced of all is undoubtedly the Shinkansen, a high-speed rail system legally defined as “an artery railway capable of operating at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour or more in its predominant section.” The Tokaido Shinkansen, the world’s first high-speed train connecting Tokyo and Shin-Osaka, began operation in 1964 just days before the opening of the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. The so-called “dream super-express,” which could run at 200 km\u002Fh, was a beacon of hope for the Japanese people in the post-war period. The Shinkansen network now links most major cities in Japan, from Hokkaido to Kagoshima, at a maximum speed of 320 km\u002Fh as of 2022. That network continues to grow. The Shinkansen remains a very popular means of transport among not only among Japanese citizens but also international visitors, many of whom consider a Shinkansen ride a must-try when in Japan. What attracts so many travelers around the world to the Shinkansen? Let us find out by exploring the Tokaido Shinkansen, the front runner of the high-speed rail system.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cstrong>Punctuality and Frequent Service&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>The Shinkansen is perhaps best known for its punctuality and frequent service. According to JR Tokai’s 2020 Annual Report, 378 trains carrying some 458,000 passengers operated per day. A Shinkansen train departs Tokyo Station every 3.5 minutes on average, a frequency unmatched by any other high-speed train system and marveled by many international visitors. Despite the extremely tight schedule, the average delay is only 0.2 minute per train, which includes delays due to torrential rains, heavy snow, and other natural disasters. This means that trains are virtually delay free in normal circumstances and almost always on time to the second!\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Why are such precise operations humanly possible? Well, one of the reasons is the schedule, tightly controlled at 15-second increments. While the timetables displayed at train stations, etc. only show departure\u002Farrival times in hours and minutes, those used by train crew are specified down to the second, such as 6:00:15 (6 o’clock, 00 minutes, 15 seconds), 6:00:30, and so on. This is because trains are scheduled to depart at 0, 15, 30, and 45 seconds. Even the slightest delay will alert the General Command Center, which will then send instructions to train crew and station staff to make every effort together to get back on schedule as soon as possible.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>JR Tokai’s staff who operate the Tokaido Shinkansen wear a uniform with the company emblem of a Japanese gentian flower embroidered on the left arm. The flower holds the meaning of justice and accuracy, reflecting their unwavering commitment to punctuality and precision.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cstrong>Safety\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>The Shinkansen is also known for its exceptional safety, with zero passenger fatalities on board in its entire history. High-speed trains cannot be stopped easily, and a Shinkansen train travelling at 300 km\u002Fh requires about 4 km to stop. This means that a sudden intrusion of an obstacle onto a railway track can lead to a major disaster. To ensure safety by eliminating all possible causes of accidents and collisions, the Shinkansen system is designed based primarily on two safety mechanisms. One is the use of dedicated rail tracks that do not cross any other tracks or roads on the same plane so as not to create situations that require sudden braking. The other is the adoption of the Automatic Train Control (ATC) system that controls the train speed based on the distance between trains and, if a train exceeds the speed limit, automatically applies the brakes to reduce its speed.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>However, no matter how sophisticated these technologies may be, they cannot prevent earthquakes, typhoons, and other natural disasters, to which Japan’s geography is inherently prone. To counter these phenomena, the Shinkansen system incorporates a variety of protective measures, including the suspension of train operations during bad weather and earthquakes based on rigorous monitoring, seismic fortification of facilities and structures, and other protections against tsunamis, rain, flooding, high winds, rockfalls, avalanches, snow, and just about any other possible environmental factor. At the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, these measures, especially the Early Earthquake Detection System, saved the Shinkansen from major destruction and casualties, with only minor damage occurring to overhead wire structures.\u003Cspan style=\"color:#060606\"> \u003C\u002Fspan>Moreover, the staff members undergo constant training, education, and drills to develop and upgrade their skills and knowledge of proper response to emergency\u002Fcontingent situations in every possible scenario. The Shinkansen’s unparalleled safety is a result of technological innovation and persistent human efforts on many levels.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cstrong>Environmental Friendliness\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>Contrary to popular image, the Shinkansen has a relatively low impact on the environment. In Japan, railways account for roughly 30% of passenger transportation but only 7% of CO2 emissions that are said to contribute to global warming. Compared to aircraft, travelling from Tokyo to Shin-Osaka on the Shinkansen consumes only one-eighth of the energy and emits one-twelfth of the CO2 per seat.&nbsp;\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>How is such low impact possible? One of the reasons is the weight of train cars, made progressively lighter by using aluminum alloy in lieu of steel and adopting other lightweight solutions. As a result, the weight per car was reduced from around 60 tons with the 0-series trains to around 44 tons with the N700-series. Energy consumption was also reduced, thereby contributed to the reduction in CO2 emissions.&nbsp;\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>In addition, electricity generated by a braking Shinkansen is reused by other trains via the catenary. A tilt of just 1 degree lets the train negotiate the bends without decelerating and without consuming significant power. Moreover, about 90% in weight of decommissioned Shinkansen rollingstock is recycled. In recognition of these efforts, the Tokaido Shinkansen was honored with the Environmental Minister’s Award for Global Warming Prevention Activity, the Grand Prize for the Global Environmental Award, and other commendations. The Shinkansen’s quest for even better energy efficiency and environmental friendliness is ongoing and will continue into the future.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cstrong>Comfort\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>Despite the high speeds, Shinkansen rides are surprisingly comfortable and quiet owing to a number of ingenuities. The vibration control system, for instance, offsets lateral vibrations, and the use of long rails minimizes rail joints and thus eliminates the clickety-clack sound of conventional railways. The tilting mechanism to lean into curves allows high-speed navigation without discomforting the passengers. The list goes on and continues to evolve.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>The pleasantness the Shinkansen provides is not just physical but also psychological. No matter how tight the timetable is, every Tokaido Shinkansen train, upon arrival at the terminal station, is thoroughly cleaned by a cleaning crew within a matter of minutes to welcome new passengers with freshly tidied up cars. Toilets inside the trains are always kept clean by meticulous and frequent cleaning. On the Tokaido Shinkansen trains, vendors known as pursers—a name also used in the airline industry—move from car to car pushing carts filled with bento boxes, snacks, drinks, and souvenirs. Shinkansen is a place where you can experience the Japanese spirit of hospitality \u003Cem>(omotenashi)\u003C\u002Fem>, including that symbolized by the cleaning staff courteously bowing at the departing trains.
