Background: Research is ongoing relating to the analysis of a set of issues that arise in connection with the creation of the operating on the basis of vacuum magnetic technologies a transcontinental high-speed land transport corridor, connecting the eastern regions of China with Russia. As part of the variation calculus task, the geopolitical, economic, social, logistic, geographic, geomorphological, seismological, topographic components of the project are considered, in which it is assumed that the high speed overland route will pass through the north-western part of the historical region of Dzungaria.
Aim: Find the most optimal from the point of view of the above components the location of the most important section of high speed overland route passing through Central Asia.
Methods: Variational methods for solving an optimization problem with the use of a computer math system.
Results: After creating a fairly informative and versatile picture of the region in question, the foundations of the corresponding mathematical models are built.
Conclusion: The New Dzungarian Gates is a key element in choosing the location of a high-speed overland route based on VMLT.
