Placement of the Assist Stop Areas in High-Speed Maglev System Considering Bidirectional Operation

Abstract

The location of the assist stop area in high-speed maglev system is closely related to the operation and maintenance of high-speed maglev train, which is the basic condition for continuous train operation. In this paper, a high-speed maglev assist parking area location setting method considering two-way operation is established. The method calculates the positions of assist stop area in both directions, and optimises the spacing and quantity to obtain the optimal placement of assist stop areas with the minimum quantity.

Research on high speed magnetic levitation tracking time calculation model and auxiliary stop area location setting

“…High-speed maglev trains are controlled by stopping point stepping, and their operation is constrained by the location of the auxiliary stopping area [5]. Therefore, the impact of the auxiliary stopping zone location on the tracking time of highspeed maglev trains cannot be ignored.…”

Auxiliary Stopping Area Layout Method for High-Speed Maglev considering Multiple Speed Profiles and Bidirectional Operation

“…Lai et al [15] set the minimum length of the auxiliary stopping area and the total length of the auxiliary stopping area as constraints and optimized the auxiliary stopping area layout of the medium-and high-speed maglev system from two aspects: the available area of speed and the Euclidean distance between the switching point of the maximum limit speed and the intersection of the braking curve and the levitation curve. Tian et al [16] proposed a method for auxiliary stopping areas layout for the bidirectional track. Compared with arranging auxiliary stopping areas in two directions separately, it effectively reduces the number of auxiliary stopping areas required.…”
