Japan’s high -speed railway system, known as “shinkann ;; With its advanced safety features, efficiency and punctuality, it has been praised for a long time.
However, the most attention -charming event was on March 11, 2011 during the Great Eastern Japan shake. Early warning system saved thousands of people’s lives.
Compared to the Richter scale, the 9.0 zelzele occurred on the shores of tohoku and led to a large -scale destruction with a large tsunami.
Shinkansen’s shaking detection system (EDS) can detect seismic activities before creating a network of strategically placed sensors throughout the rails.
On March 11, 2011, the system perceived the first vibrations 12 seconds before the main concussion and instantly activated emergency protocols. A stop signal was sent to all 33 trains operating in the region.
There was also a train that went to 300 kilometers in the middle.
Thanks to the automatic braking system, these trains were stopped in a faithful form before the full power of the zelzele was stopped and the possible disaster was prevented from the rail.
Thanks to the rapid intervention, 10 thousand passengers quickly survived without any loss. He was officially about a miracle. The importance of this system cannot be exaggerated because the trains advancing in a great speed could simply come out of the rail and cause great loss of life.
Shinkansen’s ability to stand in seconds in seconds was a proof of Japan’s commitment to rail security.
We have seen how great disasters can be prevented.
Unfortunately, the destruction caused by great disasters stems from negligence. We have seen examples of this in our country many times. Although the shaking and tsunami caused great destruction, no loss of life or significant injury in the Shinkansene network is not reported; Given the size of the disaster, it is a great success.
We hope that in our country, the precedent will be taken and prevented in our country without any more losses…
