Innovative Transportation Technologies
The purpose of this website is to provide information about unconventional (therefore
innovative) transportation technologies. Information about conventional transportation
technologies is already quite abundant but only a few people know about the technologies
included at this website. Some of these technologies are operational, some are under development
and some are still conceptual. It is intended to be an information resource for graduate students in
the Transportation Engineering and Urban Planning programs at the University of Washington, in
Seattle, and for other interested persons around the world.

Shinkansen Travel Guide
Japan's main islands of Honshu, Kyushu and Hokkaido are served by a network of high speed train lines that connect Tokyo with most of the country's major cities. Japan's high speed trains (bullet trains) are called shinkansen (新幹線) and are operated by Japan Railways (JR).
Running at speeds of up to 320 km/h, the shinkansen is known for punctuality (most trains depart on time to the second), comfort (relatively silent cars with spacious, always forward facing seats), safety (no fatal accidents in its history) and efficiency. Thanks to the Japan Rail Pass, the shinkansen can also be a very cost effective means of travel.
