Design, construction and operation of roads with use of a magnetic levitation. With what to begin?

Abstract

The Article is devoted to the issues of road design with the appeal of rolling stock to magnetic levitation. Lack in Russia of necessary regulatory base for a construction of roads with use of a magnetic suspension is noted, the main problematic issues connected with design, construction and operation of all infrastructure and, first of all,its basic elements providing technological process of transportation of passengers or containers are listed. The main directions and tasks of creation of this regulatory base are given. The short analysis of foreign experience of design and construction of roads with use of magnetic levitation technology is submitted. The direction of domestic design of lines in this area are considered, attention is paid to the work in progress on all of these issues.Specified the significance of the work on the design of rolling stock for magnetic levitation movement, in particular, the need to create a special, more light in comparison with conventional platform, chassis, and revising the traditional schemes of the support and fixing of containers due to loads imposed by high-speed train Maglev. Noted the need to develop special technical conditions and rules, which together constitute the legal framework required for infrastructure design. The attention is paid to justification of the choice of the road with magnetic levitation technology among other possible options. The general sequence of design and building of pilot object and a test site for carrying out experimental works is formulated. The key moments which can be taken as a basis for development of algorithm of actions in this direction are listed. The question of a design of the test site on which it would be possible to solve all objectives is considered.
