The article deals with the issues of training of specialists and development of design regulatory framework for Russia’s magnetic levitation transport systems. Introduction: The development of maglev technologies in Russia requires solving the task of training specialists and developing the design regulatory framework for the magnetic levitation transport systems (MLTS). The MLTS related specific issues, namely traction, levitation, lateral stabilisation, power supply systems as well as overall safety, should receive special attention. Analysis: The maglev transport technology is a further development of a conventional “wheel-track” technology, employing the linear motor and the magnetic levitation system (electromagnetic, electrodynamic, the permanent magnets-based system, and combined types). Each type of MLTS possesses its advantages and limitations, which points at the necessity to justify the choice of an optimal technology. A crucial issue is to choose (develop) a linear motor for MLTS on the basis of the four related aspects: electromagnetic, thermal, mechanical, and the cost related one. Another significant issue is the overall safety provision of MLTS. The elaboration of the quality management system should be carried out in accordance with all stages of the life cycle of the wheel-track transport, which is specified in EN 50126, EN 50128, and EN 50129. Methodology: The methodological base of training specialists and developing the design regulatory framework should become a systematic approach. The necessity of the application of this approach lies in the variety and complexity of physical processes of MLTS. The development of the project and working documentation of the design and construction of MLTS in the territory of Russia should be carried out in accordance with the active Russian legislation, which specifies the application of Special Technical Regulations for new technical systems. Conclusion: As of today, it is reasonable to develop the training of specialists for MLTS on the basis of the qualification upgrade and professional retraining programmes of the engineering staff, who already possess the fundamental railway education. All the necessary expertise and competences are available at Emperor Alexander I St. Petersburg State Transport University. For many years, the university’s specialists have been working on the development of the maglev technologies in Russia both on the basis of their own researches and on the study and generalisation of the national and international experience. They have also been developing the projects of the design regulatory framework for future MLTS.

Today, one of the most urgent tasks of modern transport systems in terms of volume growth and quality improvement, freight and passenger transportation worldwide, is to increase the speed of transportation and reduce the cost of energy resources associated with these transportations. These tasks can be solved by introducing high-speed, in particular magnetic-lev- el transport systems. In this paper, we describe and compare the variants of assemblies of magnetic poles based on the Halbach massif. The relevance of the studies carried out is confirmed by the world experience in the use of permanent magnets in the field of magneto-levitation technologies in various branches of science and technology. The purpose of the research and comparative analysis of variants of assemblies of magnetic poles based on the Halbach massif is to obtain data on the possibility of using such assembly variants in levitation systems of magnetic-leav- ing transport [7], as well as visual proof that mathematical modeling does not allow to fully describe emerging phenomena In this article, we use empirical methods of investigation. The results obtained will find their application in the design of the design, which will reduce both the mass-dimensions and the energy consumption of the levitation system. The practical significance of the studies obtained lies in the possibility of applying the principles considered practically in any magnetic-levitation transport systems. Conclusion: Based on the experimental studies, data were obtained on the levitation forces and the braking forces, which make it possible to draw conclusions about the advisability of using these assembly variants.

The designing of optimal energy-saving actuating elements for transport control systems with magnetic levitation (electromagnets with current windings and permanent magnets) is reduced to solving the following inverse problem. It is necessary to determine the dimensions and magnetomotive force of the actuating element, providing a given levitation force, magnetic induction in ferromagnets and a minimum mass of the actuating element. The solution of the direct problem (determination of the force of levitation and magnetic induction) is carried out by the finite element method. In the problem, the objective function is the mass of the actuating element and the restrictions are superimposed on the force and magnetic induction. Solving this optimization problem by the Lagrange method leads to inefficient algorithm. The article describes the proposed optimization method based on the transformation of constraints into objective functions, that is, the reduction of the problem to the multicriteria problem with consistent minimization of objective functions with a limited number of required parameters. A number of criteria are minimized analytically. The application of the complex criterion is considered. To reduce the time of solving the problem, the hierarchy of models is used: chain and field model. The proposed optimization method allows reducing the time of solving the problem by about two times. The cost of electricity due to the use of permanent magnets is reduced by four times. An example of optimization of the design of the actuating element of transport control system with magnetic levitation is considered.

Berdut Technology is a novel magnetic levitation system suitable for high speed train applications. This technology combines magnets and electromagnets to obtain levitation and propulsion. A Berdut array of permanent magnets is used to provide the levitation via skates that are located on both sides of the vehicle. Both the rails and the skates are based on permanent magnets therefore no energy is required for levitation. A linear motor located along the center of the vehicle provides the propulsion. Both, skate and linear motor use the same concept and working principle. The paper is divided into two parts: the first part describes the skate levitation, while the second part describes the linear motor. Finite element method was chosen to model and simulate both the skate levitation and the linear motor. Energy dissipation resulting from hysteresis and eddy current losses in the skate was determined. Stiffness and damping characteristics for the levitation skates are presented and validated. The efficiency and thrust force for the linear motor model are also presented along with experiments performed to validate the simulations. Once, validated the models are used to design a Maglev suspension and a linear motor for high-speed train applications.

This paper extends Banerjee and Poddar [Banerjee, S and S Poddar (2019). ‘To sell or not to sell’: Licensing versus selling by an outside innovator. Economic Modelling, 76, 293–304] by lifting the cap on per unit royalty rates in the cases of royalty licensing and two-part tariff licensing. We reconsider the optimal technology licensing contract by an outside innovator facing two heterogeneous licensees in a standard Hotelling framework. Our findings show that the optimal licensing policy could be fixed fee to the efficient firm, or two-part tariff to both firms (pure royalty to both firms), or two-part tariff to the efficient firm, depending upon the cost differentials between the firms and the size of innovation.

The article discusses the issues of implementation and organization of high-speed transport. The objective of the article is to consider possible options for implementing highspeed (HS) motion systems using the principle of magnetic levitation, which will ensure high speeds for delivery of goods and carrying people over long distances. To achieve this objective, it is necessary to develop an engine and technical solutions for design of HS rolling stock, make decisions on energy supply infrastructure and the HS track, address safety issues and new control systems considering the state of the infrastructure and its design elements. The article discusses several options for implementation of high-speed transport systems, differing in the power supply system, current collection and track based on the magnetic levitation approach. An original approach is proposed in implementation of magnetic levitation transport using the technology of electromagnetic guns designed to implement traction forces of a magnetic levitation vehicle. The advantage of this approach is that it opens the possibility of maneuvering for the vehicle while driving. This allows to abandon switch turnouts, now significantly limiting the use of magnetic levitation transport. A mathematical model describing interaction of an electromagnetic gun and supermagnets located on the track is considered. In constructing the model, methods of the theory of electromagnetic field and interaction of magnetic bodies were used, and when constructing a model of interaction of rolling stock with a magnetic track, methods of mathematical algebra and the Cauchy theorem were used. The article discusses various principles of organization of movement using the magnetic levitation for urban, suburban, and intercity transport.
