01 / TRAINING DIRECTIONS
Graduate training directions
The team integrates maglev research with graduate education in operation optimization, transport organization, traction-power coordination, and system validation. Students work through requirements, modeling, algorithms, simulation, and communication, translating results into papers, patents, software, and competition projects.
02
Low-speed maglev freight models and planning assessment
Study low-speed permanent-magnet maglev freight models, transport organization, system capacity, and cost for urban logistics demand.
03
Train speed profiles and energy-efficient operation
Develop maglev speed profiles balancing safety, punctuality, and total energy consumption under line and running-time constraints.
04
Transport organization and operational dispatching
Study service frequency, stopping patterns, departure times, section running times, headway, and line capacity.
05
Coordinated transport organization, train control, and traction power
Study cross-layer coordination among timetables, speed commands, traction power, and power-supply-zone configuration.
