New Shinkansen Position Correcting Ground Coil for Further Speed Increases

JR East is developing a new ground coil that can handle future speed increases of the Shinkansen. In order to cope with speed increases, it is necessary to expand the response distance of ground coils. Also, in winter, ground coils may be damaged by snow blocks falling from running Shinkansen trains. The authors are concerned that damage to ground coils may increase with faster-running Shinkansen trains. Therefore, in this research, they investigated measures to expand the response distance of ground coils and measures by which snow damage can be avoided. As a result of this research, it was proved that the supply of external power is effective for expanding the response distance, and change of the position of ground coils as a countermeasure against snow damage was effective.
