Client Japan Airlines — HSST Group
Contractor Mitsui Systems Research Inc.
Proposal Mag-Lev Rail Management System
Summary
Japan Airlines established a subsidiary company which was given the mandate to design and develop an advanced high-speed magnetic levitation rail system.
Mitsui Research was asked to provide a proposal that defined a solution for earthquake-sensitive HSST track design, construction and maintenance.
The required software and hardware were to take advantage of recent advances in geographic information system (GIS) technology.
The HSST/GIS system was successfully utilized on prototype track design in Japan and the United States. This high-speed rail "pilot project" was a precursor to the current Japanese mag-lev trains that can now carry passengers at 500kph (310mph).
