Abstract of Koseki's speech

As an introduction of the session on sustainable ground transportation from electrical engineering point of view, the presenter will summarize:

1. technical history of electric traction for automobile and electric trains from the 19^th century: conventional electric traction systems when the "lunch box was too heavy," ,

2. from commutator motors to modern AC-drives, significant role of power electronics in variable speed drives

3. State-of-the-arts of the technology of electric railway system for urban and intercity high speed ground transportation, including actual R & D topics in China, and

4. technical impact of new technologies of electric energy storage: the era of "light lunch boxes."
