Japan’s new bullet train that can run even during an earthquake is now running

 


Japan made its debut in the express train model that offers improved performance and improved cabin features. But the biggest boost is that it is also able to transport passengers to safety in the event of an earthquake.

The N700S fiery train entered service on July 1, left Tokyo for Osaka on the Tokaido Shinkansen Line and traveled to Hakata in southwestern Japan.

It can reach speeds of 360 kilometers per hour, a new record during a test trial in 2019, making it one of the fastest trains in the world. However, the operating speed will be set at 285 km per hour.

The new upgrade takes account of Japan’s history with earthquakes. The country is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, and is the most active earthquake belt in the world.

Kyodo News

Japan accounts for about 20 percent of earthquakes around the world with a strength of 6.0 or more. About 1,500 earthquakes strike the island nation every year and slight tremors occur almost every day.

With this in mind, the train has an automatic control system and an improved braking that allows it to stop faster in an emergency.

It is also equipped with a self-propelled system for the lithium-ion battery – the first of its kind in the world. This system allows the train to operate a short distance alone during a power outage and will make it possible to move to a safer place at low speed if they are stranded in a high-risk area – on a bridge or in a tunnel, for example during an earthquake.

In light of the number of dead and injured in its express train system in recent years, JR Central has also installed more security cameras on N700S trains than previous models.

Passengers will find that each seat has improved tilt functions and its own electrical exit. The overhead luggage space lights up when the train approaches each station to remind passengers not to forget their belongings.

The paradigm shift comes at a time when the number of passengers remains low amid the pandemic of the new Coronavirus.
