    The most distinctive feature of the Japanese Shinkansen is that the 1260-seater (almost always full) super express train, which runs at 300 km / h, is scheduled every 3 minutes (12 trains per hour) from 6 am to 12 pm every day. It is to keep running without causing a single accident on the street.

      It takes about 10-11 frames for one car to pass, the video is 30fps, so one car needs about 1/3 of a second to pass. One car in a N700 trainset is exactly 25m long -> the train is going about 75m/s, which is 270km/h or 168mph.
      Also: what safety precautions? The train is not passing next to a platform, but on the center tracks. Nobody is supposed to be there, so why would it need to slow down?

    The Sanyo Shinkansen is at 300kph max and the Tohoku Shinkansen at 320kph max.

When two Shinkansen trains meet, it’s like a whoomp. When the maglevs meet its more like a Whap. The speed difference is so high the pressure just hits all at once. There’s a qualitative difference.

    I remember when the professor told us about the trains in Japan that they have marked places on the platform where the doors of the train will be when it comes to a complete stop. That was in the 80s. For us students, such things about Japanese trains were beyond our imagination. Our train stops, and then you rush to the door to get in and sit down. Sometimes you are lucky that the train stops and the door is right there, in front of you. :)

    Actually it is interesting how USA tourists or work-travelers are often impressed by high speed trains in Japan and in France and to a lesser extent in other Countries. Maybe it is because trains in USA are modern, but there is not a "High Speed line" except for the Acela Express

      A nonsense comment; you make is sound as if there are even any trains in the US which is simply a false statement. You have like a handful of semimodern trains, special lines. There is no way to get around cars or airplanes - in other words: A third world infrastructure. The fact that the train owners & operators occasionally purchase new cars does not make them modern. Most commuter trains or public transport is old, worn out, badly maintained and the entire infrastructure is fucked. Not just the railways. Power grid as well, water, sewage etc.
      Of course North Americans are deeply impressed by the Japanese Shinkansen, the German ICE, the French TGV. You simply don't have anything. Your cross-country Amtrak railway network is an utter disgrace, highly unreliable and superslow.

In Mumbai, metros doesn't cover a distance of more than 50 km in one direction, so it's basically suburban service for creamy layers of the society.

    • @bobbwc7011
      @bobbwc7011 2 года назад

      Those speed records mean nothing; the TGV was just doing a test run for data collection and as a PR stunt. In the end the collected data of the record run revealed that TGVs will never be operated at more than 320 km/h peak because higher speeds are not feasible and/or economical. Only mag lev like the Transrapid make sense when you want to go consistently faster than 400 km/h. Another thing often overlooked: No regular train achieves an average speed close to the top speed. The average speed is about 75% of the max speed and that is another limitation of high speed rail wheel-track systems. It takes so much more engineering to raise the average speeds that it is completely nonsensical to operate such trains at more than max 350 km/h. The only optimization that's left in the end after a you have constructed a nice high speed railway network is to eliminate slower parts so that the average speed of an individual train will be closer to its max speed. Either way, mag lev like Transrapid are the real next step. What the Chinese are doing currently, raising max speeds of regular high speed rail wheel-track systems, is misguided and poor engineering.
