Digital radio based train control for safety assurance of maglev transportation
Introduction. The Control System of Maglev Vehicles (further - CSMV) has key value for development maglev. Purpose. In article management by safe movement of maglev vehicles with use of digital radio channel are considered, the international experience is analysed and conclusions for Russian practice are drawn. Methodology. The following methods were used: system approach, analysis and synthesis, generalization. Results. CSMV should consider physical possibilities of magnetic levitation, factors and the restrictions influencing these possibilities, including - the factors connected with safety. CSMV should possess complex of functions allowing effectively, full and safely to realise possibility of magnetic levitation in conditions of specified factors and restrictions. Practical importance. The basic practical results, which can be received by working out CSMV, are: - creation CSMV with high level of control automation and consequently effective and safe; - working out within CSMV typical design decisions, applicable for adaptation to monitoring and control of problems various systems and maglev vehicles; - creation of preconditions of design and perfection of all complex of regulatory framework, conformity which provides safety of maglev infrastructure and vehicles; - reception of interaction experience of the Customer, the research and design organisations, the industry enterprises, the assembly and maintaining organisations at stages of life cycle of CSMV, as key subsystem of maglev. Conclusion. The main appointment of CSMV - creation and constant provide of conditions for safe and effective functioning and development of this new type of transport.
