Railway Vehicle Types - TSV
Railway vehicle types are classified based on operating speed, service patterns, legal regulations, and physical structure. Various types exist, from ultra-high-speed railways like the Shinkansen to urban transit systems such as streetcars and monorails. In Japan, they are classified under two legal frameworks: the Railway Business Act and the Track Act, with vehicles developed and operated according to their respective characteristics.
