Gan Yong pointed out that the "Red Rail" is the third magnetic levitation technology system developed after the magnetic levitation technology of normally conductive electromagnetic levitation and superconducting levitation. It is a combination of permanent magnetic levitation technology and The integrated innovation of suspended monorail technology utilizes the special properties of rare earth permanent magnet materials to achieve zero-power heavy-load permanent magnetic levitation, which is green, intelligent, safe and economical.

It is understood that the research and development of the "Red Rail" system lasted nine years and was led by Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, in cooperation with the Xingguo County People's Government, China Railway Sixth Institute, China Railway Industry, and the National Rare Earth Functional Materials Innovation Center. Units are completed together.

"The permanent magnet magnetic levitation air rail has the characteristics of non-contact and suspended operation, strong climbing ability, small turning radius, low noise, and is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly." Chief expert on "Red Rail" technology, According to Yang Bin, Secretary of the Party Committee of Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, the completion of the "Red Rail" test line marks the birth of a safe, convenient, and efficient new rail transit system with medium to low speed and medium to low volume.

The test line built this time starts from Yongfeng Station (High-speed Railway Xingguo West Station) in the south. The main line length is about 800 meters, and they are all steel-structured elevated lines. The maglev train is composed of two cars, with a passenger capacity of 32 seats, a capacity of 88 people, and a maximum design operating speed of 80km/h.

"As an explorer of the combination of permanent magnetic levitation technology and rail transit, 'Red Rail' has completely independent intellectual property rights and is expected to become a high-quality, low-cost, cost-effective solution throughout its entire life cycle. , personalized and intelligent transportation system." Talking about the application and promotion of "Red Rail", Yang Bin believes that "Red Rail" covers multiple strategic emerging industries such as new materials, rail transportation, and artificial intelligence, and has broad future development prospects. .

At the "Red Rail" industry investment promotion meeting that day, 10 projects including the "Xingguo Red Rail Maglev Phase II Design, Construction and Operation Integrated Project" were signed on site, with a total investment of 11.43 billion yuan. The first permanent magnet maglev air rail was completed and put into use 2

The first domestic rare earth permanent magnet maglev rail transit engineering test line - "Red Rail", was officially completed in Xingguo County, Jiangxi, and realized the use of rare earth permanent magnets Maglev technology is combined with sky rail technology to build a new rail transit system with medium to low speed and medium to low transportation volume.

The "Red Rail" test line is led by Jiangxi University of Science and Technology and completed jointly with Jiangxi Xingguo County People's Government, China Railway Sixth Institute, China Railway Industry, National Rare Earth Functional Materials Innovation Center and other units. The main line is about 800 meters long and is a steel elevated line. The maglev train is composed of 2 cars, with a passenger capacity of 32 seats and a capacity of 88 people. The maximum design operating speed is 80 kilometers per hour.

On August 9, the "Red Rail" train stopped at Yongfeng Station in Xingguo County, Jiangxi.

At 9:30 that day, a group of red and white sky rail trains were suspended under the blue track. Under the gaze of local people, they slowly drove out of Yongfeng Station in Xingguo County. , along the green belt on the east side of Zhanqian Avenue, all the way north to Jingtiao Library, the entire route takes about 4 minutes.

Li Xinsheng, Vice President of China Railway Co., Ltd., said that the new rare earth permanent magnet maglev rail transit system based on the test line was first proposed and led by Jiangxi University of Science and Technology in 2014 and will be developed by Jiangxi University of Science and Technology in 2021. A subsidiary of China Railway Group Corporation Limited has undertaken the implementation and transformation construction project of this technological achievement, and my country has completely independent intellectual property rights.

Chen Guodong, general manager of China Railway Sixth Academy Group, said that the "Red Rail" has independent right of way, and its single-trip transportation volume is less than half of the subway's transportation volume, but its construction cost is only one-fifth of the subway's. It is not only suitable for regular environments such as cities, scenic spots, airport connections, business centers, and characteristic towns, but can also be used in special conditions such as along rivers, around lakes, seaside, alpine, and deserts. The completion of the test line will help green transportation and low-carbon travel. The first permanent magnet maglev sky rail was completed and put into use 3

"The ride is comfortable and the view is broad." On August 9, passengers were amazed when they boarded the "Made in Hubei" maglev sky rail train. On the same day, the world's first permanent magnet maglev rail transit project test line with a total length of 878 meters was completed in Xingguo County, Jiangxi Province. The permanent magnet maglev air rail train "Xingguo", which was manufactured by China Railway Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. in Han Dynasty, successfully made its debut.

Empty rail, known as the "train hanging in the air", has the advantages of low cost, small area, wide field of vision, and non-interference with pedestrians and motor vehicles. It is suitable for tourist attractions and commercial areas. , science and technology parks and other short- and medium-distance transportation.

The "Xingguo" sky rail train was jointly developed by Jiangxi University of Science and Technology and China Railway Science and Industry Group. It is the world's first train that combines permanent magnet maglev technology and sky rail technology. The train is about two buses long, with an interior set up like a subway, with a scheduled number of 88 people. It is designed to run at a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour and can achieve unmanned autonomous driving.

According to reports, unlike existing ground maglev trains that rely on electricity to "lever" the train and traditional sky rails that run on tires, the maglev sky rail train body does not have direct contact with the track. , using the principle of magnet repulsion, the repulsive force of the roof permanent magnet and the permanent magnet track is used to achieve air suspension, which can maintain zero-friction operation and long-term stable magnetism, greatly increasing the service life of trains and tracks.

In addition, the train has also successfully overcome technical problems such as suspension structure, guide structure, linear motor traction drive, and basic braking. The level of permanent magnet maglev technology used in this sky rail has reached the leading level in the world, and my country has completely independent intellectual property rights.

The train and the line are innovative, challenging and demonstrative in scientific research. They are green, intelligent, safe and have obvious economic advantages. They will lay a solid foundation for future commercialization. Promote the development of my country's sky rail industry.

Currently, China is the third country in the world to master air rail technology. China Railway Science and Technology Group has mastered a complete set of sky rail technologies and has more than 170 patents, including more than 20 national invention patents. It has participated in the preparation of national, industry and local standards such as the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development’s "Suspension Monorail Transportation Technical Standards" and built it in Jiangxia, Wuhan. Hubei’s first sky-rail test line has run smoothly for a total of 8,000 kilometers.
