Sun Yongcai, chairman of CRRC: speed up the test and application of high-speed maglev at 600 kilometers per hour
CTOnews.com, March 11 (Xinhua)-- China's high-speed maglev transportation system, which is developed by CRRC and has completely independent intellectual property rights, was successfully launched in Qingdao in 2021, which is the first high-speed maglev transportation system designed to reach 600km / h in the world.
According to the China Securities News, Sun Yongcai, chairman of CRRC, said in an exclusive interview with reporters a few days ago that he brought two proposals at the two sessions this year around scientific and technological innovation and transportation: one is to speed up the test and application of maglev at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour, and the other is to formulate standards for the interconnection of rail transit systems.
Sun Yongcai said that in order to accelerate the upgrading and modernization of the industrial chain and support the strategy of becoming a powerful country in science and technology and transportation, there is an urgent need for high-speed performance verification and commercial application of a high-speed maglev system at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour.
Sun Yongcai suggested that the relevant state ministries and commissions should take the lead to carry out high-speed performance experiments at night at a speed of less than 500 kilometers per hour on the Shanghai high-speed maglev line, and co-ordinate the construction of a high-speed maglev commercial application line at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour.
According to CTOnews.com, the maximum test speed of maglev technology in Germany is 505km / h, while the maximum speed of the three maglev lines currently in operation in China is 430km / h. This high-speed maglev transportation system at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour indicates that China has mastered a complete set of high-speed maglev technology and engineering capabilities, which can fill the speed gap between high-speed rail and air transportation and promote the construction of China's three-dimensional transportation network.
This high-speed maglev transportation system is currently the fastest ground transportation vehicle that can be realized, and it is also the first high-speed maglev transportation system with a design speed of 600 kilometers per hour in the world. it is equipped with fault prediction and health management system and disaster early warning scheme. it can realize the integrated intelligent scheme of self-driving, real-time monitoring, automatic early warning and remote decision-making.
