V.A. Bogachev Co-Authors: Y.A. Terentyev, V.V. Koledov, T.V. Bogachev Short Description / Abstract A set of issues arising when considering possible options for the implementation of Eurasian transcontinental high-speed ground transport corridors operating on the basis of vacuum magnetic levitation technologies is analyzed. The paper gives a rational explanation as to why in modern geoeconomic and geopolitical conditions the exclusivity of Russia's geographical position substantially consists in the fact that it is through this territory that China can be directly linked by these corridors to Western Europe and also to North America. Possible routes connecting Beijing and Shanghai with Moscow are analyzed. The historical area of Dzungaria is considered as the location of the main intermediate terminal. The economic, political, logistical, geographical, technical and technological aspects of these projects are discussed. Transport highways of a truly innovative type will solve the urgent task of geopolitical level, that is to organize the states located on the Eurasian continent in a qualitatively new civilizational construction. After the creation of a sufficiently informative and detailed informal picture, the basics of the corresponding mathematical models are constructed. Optimization methods are used, in particular, the calculus of variations. The research was conducted with the support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR), grant number 17-20-04236. Keywords High-speed ground transport corridors, Magnetic levitation technologies, Optimization methods, the Problem of the calculus of variations The Maglev 2018 is supported by Abstract for The MAGLEV 2018 Conference Russia, St. Petersburg, Together with MTST 2018 Conference, September 5 - 8, 2018 3 1 High-Speed Maglev, Presentation Magnetically Levitated Train’s Longitudinal Motion (Simulation Results) Vladislav Polyakov Co-Author: Nicholas Hachapuridze Short Description / Abstract In the previous works of the authors, an analytical model of the magnetically levitated train's longitudinal motion under the control of its linear synchronous motor was constructed. The components of its traction force were determined as a result of armature’s and excitation winding’s fields interaction, that is as Ampere forces. The dynamic equations of the circuits under consideration, as well as the expressions for the components of their currents’ fields, were compiled for this purpose. The change in the dynamic state of the train was provided by the amplitude-frequency regulation of the motor armature's voltage supplying. The train’s mechanical subsystem design scheme was adopted as a single-mass. The components of the train’s weight (on slopes), as well as the forces of its motion resistance (aerodynamic and others) can influence it. The analytical model of the motion was transformed into an appropriate computer model. The computer experiments with the latest model were conducted using the computer mathematical system “Mathematica”. The modes of start-up, acceleration, run-out and electrodynamic braking were considered. The oscilloscope charts of the values that characterize the behavior of the train as a controlled electromechanical system were obtained in various modes considered.

Based on the 1992 “Magplane” system, the new high-speed HTS Maglev train will be an electrodynamic levitation system. The conceptual design of high-speed Maglev trains and track will be described in the full paper. The aerodynamic damping, and lift pad mechanical and magnetic manipulation will also be presented. The system is designed to carry a capacity of 12,000 passengers per hour per direction. The initial subscale model will be built and tested in 2018. The system trade-offs, conceptual design, passenger capacity, power consumption and test results of initial subscale HTS Maglev.

In this paper the secondary energy demand of different Wheel Rail Systems, such as ICE, TGV, Shinkansen, and Maglev Systems, such as Transrapid, Chuo Shinkansen, will be compared. In the past energy often values of systems with different conditions (train configuration, dimension, capacity, maximum speed) were compared. The comparative value was often represented by the specific energy consumption based on passenger capacity and line-kilometer. The challenge is to find a way to compare the specific energy consumption of different High-Speed Systems without any distortion of results. Hence a comparison of energy values based on normative usable areas inside the High-Speed Systems will be described and evaluated in this paper. This procedure transforms the results to a more distortion-free comparison of energy consumption of different High-Speed Systems. The results show the energy consumption as an important characteristic parameter of transportation systems based on an objective comparison and give ranges of expected energy demand of different High-Speed Systems dependent on level of maximum speed.

When the rail mode of transport first came into existence, it quickly grew to be the fastest, most glamorous, efficient, most convenient and comfortable mode of transport. The evolution of the jet engine, combustion engine and manufacturing processes has allowed other industries to catch up and even surpass the rail market share in some cases. The long distance traveller typically bases their travel choice on three criteria: • Cost • Convenience • Time The main threat to the high speed rail industry comes in the form of the aircraft. With cruising speeds in the region of 900 km/h and no infrastructure between airports, the aircraft is both faster and more versatile than the train. Rail hubs tend to be in the centre of big cities unlike airports and as such it is hard to match their convenience. However, cost is coming under increased pressure from cheap air fares and car sharing alike. The relative speed of air travel versus high speed

Wingler June 2019 1 From the 1902 Mono-Rail guided Bullock Cart in India to the 21th Century Mono-Rail guided Los Angeles Airport Automatic People Mover (LAX APM) in USA I. Mono-Rail guided Carriage Transport in India from 1902 to 1927 The first Mono-Rail guided goods carriage system, a road borne railway system, had been the Kundala Valley Railway in India, which was built in 1902 and operated between Munnar and Top Station in the Kannan Devan Hills of Kerala. It operated with a cart- vehicle, built to transport tea and other goods. The initial cart road was cut in 1902 and then replaced by the monorail goods carriage system along the road leading from Munnar to Top Station for the purpose of transporting tea and other products from Munnar and Madupatty to Top Station. This monorail was based on the Ewing System (see below) and had small steel-wheels placed on the mono-rail track while a larger wheel rested on the road to balance the monorail. The mono-rail was pulled by bullocks. Top Station was a trans-shipment point for delivery of tea from Munnar to Bodinayakkanur. Tea chests arriving at Top Station were then transported by an aerial ropeway from Top Station 5 km (3 mi) down-hill to the south to Kottagudi, Tamil Nadu, which popularly became known as "Bottom Station".

  • The Workings of Maglev: a New Way to Travel
    THE WORKINGS OF MAGLEV: A NEW WAY TO TRAVEL Scott Dona Amarjit Singh Research Report UHM/CE/2017-01 April 2017 The Workings of Maglev: A New Way to Travel Page Left Blank ii Scott Dona and Amarjit Singh EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Maglev is a relatively new form of transportation and the term is derived from magnetic levitation. This report describes what maglev is, how it works, and will prove that maglev can be successfully constructed and provide many fully operational advantages. The different types of maglev technology were analyzed. Several case studies were examined to understand the different maglev projects whether operational, still in construction, or proposed. This report presents a plan to construct a maglev network using Maglev 2000 vehicles in the United States. A maglev system provides energy, environmental, economic, and quality of life benefits. An energy and cost analysis was performed to determine whether maglev provides value worth pursuing. Maglev has both a lower energy requirement and lower energy costs than other modes of transportation. Maglev trains have about one-third of the energy requirement and about one- third of energy cost of Amtrak trains. Compared to other maglev projects, the U.S. Maglev Network would be cheaper by a weighted average construction cost of $36 million per mile. Maglev could also be applied to convert the Honolulu Rail project in Hawaii from an elevated steel wheel on steel rail system into a maglev system. Due to the many benefits that Maglev offers and the proof that maglev can be implemented successfully, maglev could be the future of transportation not just in the United States but in the world.
