China plans commercial suspension rail lines: academic

2017-10-20 02:14 Xinhua Editor: Wang Fan

China is planning to build commercial suspension railway lines using lithium-battery powered trains to help address traffic jams and pollution at scenic areas, according to a Chinese academic.

A plan to build an over 10-kilometer-long elevated monorail line using lithium-battery trains is being finalized in southwest China's Guizhou Province, according to Zhai Wanming from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Another such line in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province, is also in the planning process, said Zhai.

Last year, a lithium-battery powered train, with a speed of 60 kph, successfully ran on a 1.4-km test monorail line designed by Zhai's team. So far, it has traveled more than 10,000 km in total.

The construction costs for suspension railways are less than one fifth that of subways, according to Zhai."It is pollution-free and does not affect ground facilities."

Suspension railways are a new choice to solve traffic jams in cities and a good means of transport for visitors at scenic areas, he added.

Several cities across China, including Hancheng in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, currently have elevated monorail construction plans.

Qinghai-Tibet Railway capacity upgrade

Phase I(near completion)

中铁十二局集团相关负责人介绍,由该单位承建的工程标段全长535公里,新开7处预留车站,包括雪查玛站、安多南站、嘎恰站、罗玛站、桑列站、龙仁站、宁中站;延长3处既有车站到发线车站,分别是唐古拉站、联通河站和古荣站;同时新建1处专用装卸线,即羊八井站。对于目前的进展情况,该负责人表示,青藏铁路扩能改造西藏区域内还剩最后一处车站未完成改造,该车站完成改造后,整个青藏铁路扩能改造西藏区域内将全部结束。

Phase II(electrification)

据了解,此次扩能改造(see above)是为青藏铁路电气化改造做准备。据介绍,目前青藏铁路拉萨至格尔木段采用内燃机进行牵引,铁路可承受的牵引力为2000吨,由于牵引力有限,到达格尔木的火车需重新排组成两列列车才能到达拉萨。该负责人解释,今后进行电气化改造后牵引力将达到4000吨,该段铁路牵引力将与西宁至格尔木段一样,当货运火车经过格尔木时,就无需进行重组便可直接抵达拉萨。电气化改造不仅改变了青藏铁路的货运能力,也将进一步提升客运火车的速度。

China's Fuxing train series proposed to get a new member

2017-10-26 09:18

Global Times Editor: Li Yan

China's Standard Multiple-unit Fuxing train series will get a new member with a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour, China Railway announced on Wednesday.

China Railway proposed a new series of high-speed trains at a meeting in Shanghai, saying that a train with a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour could meet the needs of different transportation lines, the Xinhua News Agency reported Wednesday.

Developing high-speed trains with different speeds could also meet people's needs for different forms of transportation and improve the travel experience, said a China Railway official, people.cn reported.

The next step is to decide on a technical plan in two months and the company is trying to have model train in the first half of 2018, with testing to finish by the end of 2018, said Zhang Bo, a research fellow at the China Academy of Railway Sciences, Xinhua reported.

The new Fuxing will have some breakthroughs, when compared to the "Hexie" series, which has a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour, including total automation, better performance, and increased intelligence, said the China Railway official.

The "Fuxing" series would also create an international Chinese brand of bullet trains, with a profound impact on sustainable development of Chinese trains and helping them "go global," the official added.

The Fuxing (Rejuvenation) train is the world's fastest train after speeds were increased from 300 to 350 kilometers per hour on the Beijing-Shanghai line, Xinhua reported.

PolyU Joins Forces with Southwest Jiaotong University to Establish The Joint Innovation Center for Rail Transit Safety Monitoring Technology

Photo1-700.jpg

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU) take a step forward in strategic partnership to advance the nation's rail transit technologies by setting up the Joint Innovation Center for Rail Transit Safety Monitoring Technology. A collaboration agreement was signed on 27 October 2017 between PolyU Base (Shenzhen) Limited, a registered legal entity of PolyU in the Chinese Mainland, and China SWJTU Railway Development Co., Ltd (CSRD) of Southwest Jiaotong University.

Led by Mr Wang Pengxiang, Dean of Beijing Research Institute of SWJTU, Chairman of CSRD, a delegation came to Hong Kong to attend the signing ceremony on PolyU campus. The agreement was signed by Mr Wang and Ir Professor Alex Wai, PolyU Vice President (Research Development).

The signing ceremony was officiated by the Guest of Honour Dr David Chung Wai- keung, Under Secretary for Innovation and Technology. Dr Chung believed this Joint Innovation Center would usher in a new phase of cooperation. He expected more mutually beneficial cooperation in the development of the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park, the largest-ever innovation and technology park of Hong Kong, which would help connect the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors of innovation and technology industry, thereby developing Hong Kong as an international innovation and technology hub in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area.

At the signing ceremony, Mr Wang Pengxiang said that PolyU and CSRD have worked together on various large projects including the Beijing Shanghai HSR (High-speed Railway) and the Lanzhou-Xinjiang HSR project in 2012 and 2014 respectively. Both PolyU and CSRD will further leverage their expertise to strengthen the collaboration on research development through the Joint Innovation Center. As a result, rail safety will be enhanced to meet the nation's robust demand in rail transit development, providing active support for the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area development plan.

The research of the Joint Innovation Center covers many areas such as research and development of 1. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems tailored for rail tracks and subgrades; 2. SHM systems tailored for high-speed trains and their components; 3. Fault diagnosis and prognosis methods for comprehensive evaluation of vehicle-rail health condition; and 4. Establishment of comprehensive monitoring and control laboratory forreal-time feedback.

The Joint Innovation Center will be co-led by representatives from CSRD and PolyU Base (Shenzhen) Limited, led by Professor Ni Yi-qing, Director of National Rail Transit Electrification and Automation Engineering Technology Research Center (Hong Kong Branch), Professor of Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of PolyU.

Ir Professor Alex Wai, PolyU Vice-President (Research Development) remarked, "The signing of the agreement means closer collaboration in developing new railway transit safety monitoring technology, and PolyU will further participate in the nation's High-Speed Rail projects through its PolyU Shenzhen Base. I believe this strategic partnership will take the development of China's High-Speed Rail to higher levels of excellence."

As early as 2011, PolyU collaborated with SWJTU in applying different monitoring technologies in HSR. Among them is the technology using Fiber Bragg Grating sensors in the automatic monitoring of subsidence in the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Rail research project which resulted in significant achievements. In 2015, the State Ministry of Science and Technology approved PolyU to establish the "Chinese National Engineering Research Centre on Rail Transit Electrification and Automation (Hong Kong Branch)" (CNERTE) in partnership with the SWJTU. Three research laboratories were established under CNERTE to undertake research and technology development projects.

Set up by SWJTU in 2005, CSRD is the interface between the University and the railway industry. As a high-end technology company in China specialized in railway safety monitoring technology development and consulting services, CSRD has made impressive achievements in 20 key national projects including Beijing-Shanghai HSR, Beijing-Guangzhou HSR, Lanzhou-Xinjiang HSR,Harbin-Dalian HSR and Guangzhou railway.

The final bottleneck between Northern China and Northeast China.
The old Qinhuangdao-Shenyang railway (200-250km/h) is a huge hindrance.
But lest we forget this is the first HSR in China, opened in 2003.

Of course, the new HSR will use CR400 Fuxing.
