Transport Potential

The Russian Federation is located at the crossroads of the trade routes of the Eurasian continent, where a significant volume of the transport flow of the world’s trade is formed. The transport potential of the territory of Russia, when implemented as an Integral Transit Transport System (ITTS), is comparable to the benefits from the traditional export of hydrocarbons and other raw materials. Analyzing the efficiency of transport systems, the key is the energy approach. The concept of ITTS is considered, based on all known and being developed transport lines, including high-speed vacuum magnetic levitation transport (VMLT). The fundamental problems are discussed being on the way to achieving the maximal speed, energy efficiency and throughput of VMLT. The preliminary findings are presented obtained from experiments on the test model of the VMLT route. It is concluded that there is a need for a deeper study of the properties of magnetic and superconducting materials in extreme high fields, power and speed regimes to search for fundamentally new technical solutions for the creation of VMLT

Original Approach

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.

Abstract Planning the extent of transport services within a selected territory is a topical issue especially in the context of developing integrated transport systems. The objective of this research study is to design a sustainable system of public passenger transport that would be an alternative to expanding individual transport. The implementation of a quality and efficient transport service is a relatively complex process, since, currently, there are no generally applicable principles for its design. This manuscript presents general results of research aimed at solving the problem of transport service within a selected territory issue with a focus on rail transport as an efficient transport system representing a backbone of a transport system. The subject of the investigation is to compile a set of factors affecting the design of the transport concept. The output of the manuscript consists in a proposal of a generally applicable procedure including a calculation of transport potential and characteristics of the inputs. Subsequently, based on the resulting values, it will be possible to determine the extent of the transport services provided by rail transport in any territory, which will contribute to a more efficient and high quality theoretical graph of train running.

The Impact

The contemporary literature of the subject lacks explicit determination of the role performed in rail transport systems by certain major components and assemblies used in rail transportation. One typically perceives the technical solutions applied in railway engineering as an entire body of solutions or as a subsystem, without properly emphasising the impact of defects on the operating efficiency of the rail transport system and without the due regard to safety in this domain of transport. The switch point mechanism/switch point assembly is an important component of a rail transport system. This article is an attempt to identify the role and importance of this assembly in a rail transport system.

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 beginning of the twenty-first century is characterized by strengthening of global priorities in the transport system development. The transition to a resource efficient economy requires the development of innovative technologies in transport. Besides innovations the driver of the development of technologies in railway transport is the growing competitiveness of alternative transport modes (aviation, road transport). Modern estimates of high-speed parameters of transport system are based on the contact pairs «wheel - rail» and «collecting pantograph - contact wire», which predetermine the speed limit at the level of 350-360 km/h. In the paper, the contactless of energy transmission from infrastructure to rolling stock (magnetic levitation method) is substantiated for creation of efficient high-speed transport means. However, due to a high level of environmental air resistance of rolling stock, the speed is limited to 450-500 km/h. The transport system project, which based on using artificially created vacuum environment for the movement of transport mean by the principle of a magnetic or aero levitation, bases on "disruptive" technologies for traditional transport modes. The physical basis of the project is a multiple reduction of air resistance to the moving transport mean. It predetermines the multiple energy effect. An algorithm for preparation of the project concept for a high-speed system using vacuum-levitation train system of the organizational represents a sequence of steps. Its goal is to create fundamental scientific principles for development of a high-speed service of up to and over 1000 km/h. The development of a fundamentally new transport mode - vacuum-levitation «container system» can have a particular importance for Russia and the world community. It could provide a multiple growth of Russian transport system competitiveness in the global goods exchange between Europe and Asia.

Topicality. The shipping policy macroeconomic level takes the central place in the management system of merchant shipping and investment activity according to the development efficiency criteria. The economy is characterized by the building-up of integration processes at the current stage. Increasing production internationalization and globalization leads to the internationalization and globalization of transport and logistics systems and distribution networks. These processes activate the intensity and increase the international freight traffic volume. At the same time, globalization has dramatically changed the volume and model of freight traffic and increased the requirements for both international and local transport systems. Aim and tasks. The central task of the investigations is the choice of a criteria-based assessment system of economic and investment decisions. The study is aimed at clarifying the regularities of the merchant shipping individual segments functioning and at developing recommendations for solving urgent current and future projects for the national shipping potential development. Research results. The transport system efficiency is the economy development important factor. The main transport potential feature is the need of high level of regulation by country. This is due to the fact that: the development of transit potential is a capital-intensive process, and requires long-term investments; it has the monopolistic nature of the elements of the transport system; it needs for a special functional and legal regime of work; it is the reason of environmental problems because of increasing volumes and traffic intensity; it is especially important for national security. Macroeconomic goals to ensure the export transport services development, to use transit potential more efficiently, to increase the consumer transport competitiveness on the transport services international market could be actualized by the integration technology strategy implementation. Conclusion. The implementation of transport potential according to the integration criteria is an important factor of the modern economic development of the country, as, first of all, it is growth of employment, business activity, investments and tax revenues, on the other hand, it assists in integrating the Ukrainian economy into the European and world economic systems. The making economic decisions theory in the maritime transport system in the shipping market globalization context should be taken into account during the urgent economic problems solution.

The presented study determines the prospects for implementing and spreading transportation technologies based on the principles of magnetic levitation as an innovative infrastructure framework for the formation of Global Eurasia.Aim. The study aims to determine and analyze the mutual influence of integration processes in the formation of Global Eurasia and the spread of transportation technologies based on the principles of magnetic levitation within this space, particularly along the North-South line, as the foundation for socio-economic, industrial, and technological priority development of the region’s countries.Tasks. The authors reveal the limited applicability of the traditional principle of wheel-rail movement in modern reality; indicate the undesirability and impossibility of blindly copying magnetic levitationbased movement projects implemented abroad; consider vacuum-levitation transport systems (VLTS) as innovative infrastructure projects that are too radical, excessive in quality, expensive to implement, and limited in the scope of application; determine the undesirability factors of priority development of passenger Maglev transport over cargo transport; systematize the competitive advantages and implementation problems of the North-South high-speed cargo transit highway project and the technological competitive advantages of the open Maglev system.Methods. This study uses the methods of system analysis, theory of techno-economic paradigms, manufacturing-technological balance of the economy, evolutionary-institutional theory, and worldsystem analysis.Results. The authors verify the hypothesis that the mutual influence of integration processes in the formation of Global Eurasia and the spread of transportation technologies based on the principles of magnetic levitation within this space, particularly along the North-South line, serve as a foundation for socio-economic, industrial, and technological priority development of the region’s countries, allowing them to become global leaders in the future.Conclusions. The study proves that adaptation and localization of production of advanced traditional high-speed highway systems based on the wheel-rail principle in Russia will not change the catchingup nature of development of the country’s transit transport system. It also shows that transportation by Maglev trains combines the advantages of both mass modes of transport and high-speed movement. This type of transportation is therefore attractive to customers who use a combination of the maritime fleet or traditional railways and air transport. The authors emphasize the need for mass production and distribution of Maglev technology and its application over long distances, which will help to achieve economies of scale, develop manufacturing and technological competencies, ensure operational safety, and provide a sufficient number of spare parts and components.
