The Russian Federation is located at the crossroads of the trade routes of the Eurasian continent, where a significant volume of the transport flow of the world’s trade is formed. The transport potential of the territory of Russia, when implemented as an Integral Transit Transport System (ITTS), is comparable to the benefits from the traditional export of hydrocarbons and other raw materials. Analyzing the efficiency of transport systems, the key is the energy approach. The concept of ITTS is considered, based on all known and being developed transport lines, including high-speed vacuum magnetic levitation transport (VMLT). The fundamental problems are discussed being on the way to achieving the maximal speed, energy efficiency and throughput of VMLT. The preliminary findings are presented obtained from experiments on the test model of the VMLT route. It is concluded that there is a need for a deeper study of the properties of magnetic and superconducting materials in extreme high fields, power and speed regimes to search for fundamentally new technical solutions for the creation of VMLT
Background: The complex of issues arising when considering possible options for the implementation of Eurasian transcontinental high-speed land transport corridors operating on the basis of vacuum magnetic-levitation technologies is analyzed. The exclusivity of Russia’s geographical position in a substantial part lies in the fact that it is through its territory that China can be directly linked by these corridors to Western Europe and also to North America, the rationale is done.
Aim: Possible routes connecting Beijing and Shanghai with Moscow are analyzed. Transport highways of a truly innovative type will solve the urgent task of geopolitical level - to organize the states located on the Eurasian continent in a qualitatively new civilizational construction. The purpose of the research is as follows: to develop methods of solving the problems of finding optimal variants for the location of high-speed land transport corridors using computer mathematics systems. This should take into account the features of the territory, through which the transport route is planned to be carried out.
Methods: The economic, political, logistical, geographical, technical and technological aspects of these projects are discussed. Optimization methods are used, in particular, the calculus of variations.
Results: After the creation of a sufficiently informative and detailed informal picture, the basics of the corresponding mathematical models are constructed.
Conclusion: The historical area of Dzungaria is considered as the location of the main intermediate terminal for high speed vacuum magnetic levitation transport.
Background: Research is ongoing relating to the analysis of a set of issues that arise in connection with the creation of the operating on the basis of vacuum magnetic technologies a transcontinental high-speed land transport corridor, connecting the eastern regions of China with Russia. As part of the variation calculus task, the geopolitical, economic, social, logistic, geographic, geomorphological, seismological, topographic components of the project are considered, in which it is assumed that the high speed overland route will pass through the north-western part of the historical region of Dzungaria.
Aim: Find the most optimal from the point of view of the above components the location of the most important section of high speed overland route passing through Central Asia.
Methods: Variational methods for solving an optimization problem with the use of a computer math system.
Results: After creating a fairly informative and versatile picture of the region in question, the foundations of the corresponding mathematical models are built.
Conclusion: The New Dzungarian Gates is a key element in choosing the location of a high-speed overland route based on VMLT.
