Världens första höghastighetsbana byggdes mellan Tokyo och Osaka år 1964. Sedan dess har länder i framförallt Asien och Europa också infört höghastighetståg och just nu pågår arbetet med höghastighetsjärnväg i Sverige. Den kommer att trafikeras av höghastighetståg med en hastighet upp till 320 km/h. Det är beslutat att järnvägen ska utformas med fixerade spår vilket är den vanligaste lösningen för
