of the preceding train, as well as track conditions, the ATC will
continuously display a maximum speed limit to the driver. If the
driver exceeds this speed, the ATC automatically applies the brakes

to slow the train to its permitted speed. Unlike the former
multi-step braking system, the ATC employs a single, uninterrupted

10 General Education Center
Our personnel are the ones who maintain daily safe and reliable
operations, and thus JR Central considers personnel training as a
crucial aspect to our safety. Our education and training is based on
on-the-job training in the field, group training for basic and
specialized knowledge and skills, and a correspondence training
system for the support of employees’self-development. Our group
training aims to systematically improve the knowledge and skill, as
well as the discipline required for personnel who are in charge of
the railway industry. The General Training Center plays a main role

■300X
The 300X test train was used for running tests from
1995 until 2002 to create the latest and best high-speed
rail system. In 1996, the 300X set a domestic maximum
speed record of 443km/h.
The technical knowledge gained from these running
tests has been widely integrated within the development
of new rolling stock, such as on the Series 700.

(March 1999∼present)
The Series 700 was developed jointly by JR Central
and JR West. In addition to a commercial operation
speed that exceeds 270km/h, the Series 700 offers a
high level of passenger comfort and environmental
compatibility.
(July 2007∼present)
Based on the great potential of the Series 700, the
Series N700 offers even better comfort and environmental
compatibility. The Series N700 consumes 19% less energy
than the Series 700 and produces 1/12 the CO2 emissions
of an airplane.
The Series 700 was a further evolution of
second-generation Shinkansen rolling stock that started
with the Series 300.

13 Dr. Yellow
“Dr. Yellow”Accurately Inspects the
Condition of Tracks and Electrical Facilities
The Class 923 Shinkansen Multipurpose Inspection Train
(referred to as “Dr. Yellow”) is equipped with cutting-edge
equipment and used to check the condition of the tracks and
electrical facilities whilst running on revenue serviced routes
approximately every 10 days.
The safe and reliable transportation of the Shinkansen is
guaranteed by this accurate data.
Dr. Yellow（T4 trainset）can Inspect
Track Conditions at a Speed of 270km/h
In September 2001, the T4 “Dr. Yellow”was introduced to
replace the conventional T2 trainset.
There were four areas that were focused on during the
development and design of the inspection train. (1) Reach a
maximum speed of 270km/h to avoid disturbing the revenue service
timetable, (2)Ensure compatibility with the latest inspection
technology and future adaptation, (3)Consider reducing the cost of
new manufacturing and rolling stock maintainability, and
(4)Consider long inspection times.
14 Maintenance Management of Shinkansen Rolling Stock
As a preventative maintenance measure, a periodic inspection and repair system is incorporated into the train management schedule
to maintain the safety of Shinkansen rolling stock.

③preventing a derailment by the
derailment prevention guards
Derailment Prevention Guards
Example) The effect of derailment prevention guards on a rocking derailment, which is one type of derailment caused by earthquakes.
①When the tracks move laterally during an earthquake, the wheels on one side collide with the rails while the wheels on the other side
bounce up from the shock.
②The train derails when the tracks then move in the opposite direction at this instant. (Rocking derailment)
③Since the wheels opposite from the wheels that have bounced up are still riding on the rail, the derailment prevention guards prevent a
derailment by stopping these wheels from moving any further in the lateral direction.
Deviation Prevention Stoppers
In order to prevent as much as possible large rolling stock deviations from track in case of a derailment,“Deviation Prevention Stoppers”
have been installed at the bottom of all Shinkansen rolling stock bogies.

Overseas Deployment of High-Speed Rail Systems
Today, global warming is a pressing issue. There are
many environmentally-friendly construction projects
for high-speed rail that are under way all over the
world. JR Central is promoting the overseas
deployment of high-speed rail systems by leveraging
the comprehensive high-speed rail technology which
per forms at the world's highest level. JR Central
believes that the overseas deployment of its
high-speed rail system will be a meaningful project
that enables domestic manufacturers to maintain and
strengthen their technology and skills through the
expansion of the international high-speed rail market,
and also may lead to technological innovation and
cost reduction of railway-related equipment.
C&C (Consulting and Coordination) Business
“C&C (Consulting and Coordination) Office-Overseas High Speed
Railway Project” section mainly promotes overseas deployment of
high-speed rail systems. The C&C office proposes the deployment
of high-speed rail as a total system that includes civil engineering
structures, track, electrical equipment, signaling equipment, rolling
stock, operation management systems, maintenance and repair, etc.
to overseas high-speed rail markets.
As overseas high-speed rail projects continue to flourish, this
section will coordinate with relevant Japanese companies to provide
support and consultation where necessary, for the safe and reliable
operation of a high-speed rail system. Examples of this include
providing operation and maintenance manuals as well as training
personnel.
① The N700-Ⅰ Bullet and SCMAGLEV
JR Central is proposing two high-speed rail systems called the
Overseas High-Speed Rail (completion image)
“N700-Ⅰ Bullet” and “SCMAGLEV”to overseas markets. The
“N700-Ⅰ Bullet” is a total high speed rail system that consists of
mainly the“N700-Ⅰ” rolling stock. The “N700-Ⅰ”is based on
Series N700 operated in Japan and refers to an eight-car train
(Series N700 is a 16 car train) that meets the overseas market
trends and can travel at a maximum speed of 330km/h (205mph).
The Superconducting Maglev (SCMAGLEV) is a high-speed
transportation system developed by JR Central that can operate at
a speed of 500km/h (311mph).
JR Central engages diligently in marketing activities for“N700-Ⅰ

Additional Efforts for Overseas Deployment of the N700-Ⅰ Bullet and SCMAGLEV
JR Central, JR West, JR East and JR Kyushu established the
International High-Speed Rail Association (IHRA) in April 2014 to
promote Japanese high speed rail system based on the principle of
“Crash Avoidance” as a global standard. We will also hold the
International High-Speed Rail Conference on October 22, 2014, in
commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Tokaido Shinkansen,
with IHRA, JR West and JR Kyushu for people in many countries or
regions to understand the Japanese high-speed rail system in depth.

The Principles of the SCMAGLEV System
What is Superconductivity?
Superconductivity is the phenomenon where electrical resistance of certain
materials approaches zero at very low temperature. When an electrical current is
applied to a coil in a superconductive state (superconducting coil), this current
continues to flow almost indefinitely, resulting in the creation of a very large
magnetic field. Niobium-titanium alloy has been used for the SCMAGLEV and a
superconductive state is achieved when cooling it with liquid helium to a
temperature of minus 452°
F.
What is a Linear Motor?
A linear motor can be compared to a conventional type of rotating motor
which is cut open and extended linearly. The rotors inside the conventional
motors correspond to the Superconducting Magnets in the SCMAGLEV vehicles,
while the external stators correspond to the Propulsion Coils on the ground.
Propulsion System
By passing current through the Propulsion Coils on the ground, a magnetic
field (north and south poles) is produced, thus the vehicle is propelled forward
by the attractive force of opposite poles and the repulsive force of same poles
acting between the ground coils and the Superconducting Magnets built into
the vehicles.
Levitation System
Levitation and Guidance Coils are installed on both sides of the guideway
(track). When the on-board Superconducting Magnets pass through at high
speed, an electric current is induced in the Levitation and Guidance Coils,
causing them to become electromagnets. This generates a force that both
pushes up and pulls up the vehicle.
Guidance System
The Levitation and Guidance Coils on both sides of the guideway keep the
vehicles in the center of the guideway at all times by exerting an attractive
force on the further side of the vehicle and a repulsive force on the nearer side
when the vehicle moves off center to either side.

reduce costs and increase efficiency at all levels including saving
labor in maintenance work.
Rolling Stock Field Test Simulator
The Rolling Stock Field Test Simulator reproduces actual rolling
train ride comfort. The original characteristic of this device is to
stock running conditions by simulating vibrations caused by
three kinds of motion systems. The interior of the cabin is the same
roughness, etc. By making the structure of the testing device as
regenerate the motion of an actual train with high precision using
as an actual Shinkansen train, and views through the windows and
running sounds are also reproduced to realize the atmosphere of
