Japanese term or phrase: 高加減速度／高密度運転
context:

高加減速度／高密度運転が可能な鉄道が要望されている。

high acceleration/deceleration rate
Explanation:
The first expression 高加減速度 will be "high acceleration/deceleration rate", as one of the characteristics of a linear motor.

I am still looking for the exact word for the second one.

The second expression would be ¥"high-density motion¥".

neutral  Maynard Hogg: In some contexts, "rapid" would be preferable to the scientific "high rate". The poser doesn't give enough context, however.

agree  snowbees: Re:second question,high-density operations, frequent operations or the frequency of service may apply. See Reference: http://www.subwaymark.bravepages.com/transit/Japan/Tokyo/tok...

High acceleration and deceleration & highly consistent operation


Explanation:
Separating 加速度and減速度 makes it a little easier to understand.
密度is usually translated as density but I found the word "consistency" under 密度 in my 'Dictionary of Science and Engineering'

rapid acceleration/deceleration, tight schedules


Explanation:
I'm assuming your average Japanese commuter train in morning rush hour.

Instead of \"tight schedules\", frequent operation (or service) might fit better.

agree  Evan GEISINGER: This is best, I think: clearly "consistent" is wierd--- what would that MEAN? If the paper is about driving skills, the KOUMITYDO may mean"with a need for near-constant operator control" or the like, but I'm "high traffic"/"crowded-track operation"

agree  Kurt Hammond: I don't know the context but riding these trains every day, I have to go with this. The gist is probably to figure out how to move as many people as possible over a single track.
