Super train or the fastest vehicle landing on the surface of Hubei is expected to start next year

The 'super train', the fastest vehicle on the surface with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour, may land in Hubei! You can go from Wuhan to Guangzhou in 2 hours! It is expected to start construction in Xianning next year.

According to Changjiang Daily on the 26th, China Railway Fourth Survey and Design Institute Group Co., Ltd. revealed that the 600 km-1000 km high-speed magnetic levitation test line project designed and built by the Institute is expected to start in Hubei next year.

Jing Shiyuan, deputy chief engineer of tiesiyuan line station, introduced that this HTS Maglev line may be launched in Xianning, and strive to start construction next year, build an experimental section of more than 200 kilometers, carry out practical maglev experiments at the level of 600 kilometers to 1000 kilometers, verify and adjust the whole technical system, and extend to Wuhan, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong when the operation is mature, It will be incorporated into the formal part of Beijing Guangzhou line in the future.

This means that the one-way time from Wuhan to Guangzhou will be shortened to two hours.

Several cities have maglev lines

On September 24, Yu Chunxiao, deputy director of the State Railway Administration, said at the press conference of the state information office that he would reasonably arrange the R & D of technical reserves such as 400 km / h high-speed wheel rail passenger train system and 600 km / h high-speed maglev system.

With the development of maglev technology in China, a number of practical projects have been gradually built. Among them, the 100km Changsha maglev line designed and constructed by tiesiyuan has been put into operation in 2016, and the 100km maglev line in Qingyuan, Guangdong Province may also be opened to traffic within this year.

The high-speed maglev vehicle can 'start and stop quickly', which can exert the speed advantage. It is also suitable for medium and short distance passenger transport. It can be used for commuting in large cities or connecting adjacent cities in urban agglomerations to greatly improve urban commuting efficiency and promote the development of 'integration' and 'co urbanization' of urban agglomerations.

As a high-speed railway, high-speed maglev is the fastest mode of transportation within 1500 kilometers. Previously, according to the person in charge of the high-speed maglev project, taking Beijing to Shanghai as an example, plus the travel preparation time, it takes about 4.5 hours by plane, about 5.5 hours by high-speed rail, and only about 3.5 hours by high-speed maglev.

More and more countries

Focus on high-speed maglev technology

According to CCTV finance and economics, as a new cutting-edge rail transit technology, the advantages of high-speed maglev have been concerned by more and more countries. Developed countries such as Germany and Japan have developed a variety of maglev transportation schemes using different technical routes.

Japan's superconducting maglev technology has achieved a test speed of 603km / h, while Germany's highest test speed of maglev technology has reached 505km / h, and the international first commercial high-speed maglev line with an operation speed of 430km has been built in Shanghai, China. However, the high-speed maglev system with a speed of 600km / h and its engineering application are still blank in China.

Will it 'derail' at such a fast speed?

According to previous reports, on May 23 this year, China's 600 km / h high-speed maglev test sample vehicle has been offline in Qingdao.

At that time, many netizens said that if the speed was so fast, would it be 'derailed'?

What we want to say here is that the high-speed maglev operates in the way of 'holding track', and the train has no derailment risk. The traction power supply system is arranged on the ground and adopts sectional power supply. Only one train can run in the same power supply section, and there is basically no risk of rear end collision. Compared with the wheel rail train, the maglev train has no traditional 'wheels', no contact with the track, no wheel rail friction, less maintenance, and has the advantage of life cycle cost.

In addition to safety and reliability, as a new high-speed traffic mode, high-speed maglev also has the advantages of high speed, low noise, low vibration, large passenger capacity and less maintenance.
