CRRC eyes high-speed new maglev
China Daily, October 25, 2016

China Railway Rolling Stock Corp Ltd, the country's railway vehicle and equipment exporter, will start researching and developing a magnetic levitation or maglev train that can reach 600 km per hour-the fastest train of its kind currently in service.

The group will build a maglev rail line up to 5 kilometers to test the train. The project will be led by CRRC Qingdao Sifang Co Ltd in Shandong province, one of the country's three bullet train makers, the company said in a statement.

CRRC will also develop maglev trains with speeds of up to 200 kph at CRRC Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co in Hunan province.

"The goal for these two projects is to establish domestic technology and standard systems for new-generation medium and high-speed maglev transportation that can be applied globally," said Sun Bangcheng, deputy director of CRRC's office for major project development.

The total investment in these projects will reach 3.22 billion yuan ($476 million). The government will allocate 433 million yuan, and the remainder will be raised by CRRC.

Compared with other types of urban rail transportation, Sun said maglev trains are quiet and can achieve high speeds because they don't actually ride on rails with wheels but hover centimeters above the track through the use of magnets, avoiding the slower speeds caused by friction.

The world's first maglev line was launched in Shanghai in 2002, connecting a metro station to Shanghai Pudong International Airport. With speeds of up to 430 kph, its 30-kilometer route takes less than eight minutes to travel.

Beijing is also currently building a low-speed maglev urban rail route-the S1 line-which will start in northern Beijing's Haidian district, pass through Shijingshan district and end in Mentougou district in the city's western outskirts. The 11-kilometer line will become operational by the end of next year.

CRRC will also start research and development of cross-border high-speed trains that can run at 400 kph and alternate between different track gauges ranging from 60 cm to 1.676 meters.

"Such trains will consume 10 percent less energy than the country's 350 kph bullet trains currently in use," said Sun Fuquan, a researcher specialized in railway vehicles at the Chinese Academy of Science and Technology for Development in Beijing.

China has seen the rapid development of its high-speed railways in recent years, with their total length exceeding 20,000 kilometers, the world's longest high-speed rail network.

The country started operation of its first home-grown maglev rail line in May, with trains running at a maximum speed of 100 kph in Changsha, capital of Hunan province, connecting the city with Changsha Huanghua International Airport.

New high-speed rail technology expected to cut safety accidents by half
By Li Yan (People's Daily Online) 13:13, November 01, 2016

CRRC Corporation Limited (CRRC), China’s major rolling stock manufacturer, is currently immersed in the research and development of new high-speed rail safety technology; once the research comes to fruition, rail safety accidents will decrease by 50 percent, according to Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric Co., Ltd., a firm affiliated with CRRC's research institute.

Currently, several thousand sensors are installed along high-speed railways across the country. In order to access more data in the future, that number should increase by one-third or even half, said Yang Weifeng, deputy director of the Electric Rail Transit Technology Center of Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric Co., Ltd.

CRRC previously announced two other projects - a 600km/hr high-speed maglev train and a 400km/hr transnational high-speed train.

CRRC sends first batch of trains to Hong Kong Province for high-speed rail project
By Yuan Can (People's Daily Online) September 27, 2016

After completing production and extensive testing, the first high-speed trains manufactured by Chinese railway giant CRRC Corporation Ltd. for the Hong Kong Section of a new high-speed railway project arrived in Hong Kong Province on Sept. 23.

The nine eight-carriage trains, built for the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link, were manufactured by CRRC Qingdao Sifang Co., Ltd. (Qingdao Sifang) according to a design based on the CRH380A model, said Hong Kong rail operator MTR.

The maximum number of passengers on a CRH380A high-speed train is 556. As Hong Kong opted not to include a business-class section, 23 extra passengers will be able to ride the train, a CRRC employee told Caixin.

The first batch of trains for the Express Rail Link project sailed to Hong Kong via Qingdao. The others will be transported by train, Caixin said. Upon arrival in Hong Kong, the trains will be delivered to the Shek Kong Stabling Sidings. MTR said the trains will then undergo multiple static tests and low-speed dynamic tests. These will be followed by dynamic testing on the 16-kilometer pilot test section.

"During train production, MTR staff is stationed at the factory to closely monitor the process, including manufacturing, assembly and testing. A range of monitoring mechanisms and independent assessments are conducted throughout the process. With decades of expertise and experience, our system ensures that both the materials and production quality are commensurate with international safety standards and national regulations," said Philco Wong, projects director of MTR.

Currently, there is only one Beijing-Kowloon rail, and it takes approximately 23 hours. The Express Rail Link is expected to be put into operation in 2017, Nanfang Metropolis Daily reported.

However, the project’s infrastructure has faced controversy and difficulties since its inception. In December 2015, the Hong Kong government applied for approval from the Legislative Council (Legco) for an extra HK$19.6 billion, on top of the HK$65 billion that lawmakers approved in 2010, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported. Hong Kong's Legco approved the extra funds in March.

Japan has indeed been a good example to take lesson from and be inspired by.

Rail track with electronic chips to link Beijing, NE China
Source: Xinhua 2016-11-03 16:12:11

SHENYANG, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- Track boards for a high-speed railway linking Beijing and northeast China's Shenyang City have been implanted with electronic safety chips.

It is the first time the China-made "CRTS III Slab Ballastless Track" has been adopted for a high-speed rail route over 500 kilometers-long.

According to staff at Beijing-Shenyang Passenger Line Company, each track board is implanted with two chips, which store information including the board's model, serial number, mileage and curve radius.

If there is a problem with a track board, its chips notify the control center and indicate its problems and location, enhancing the safety of the rail system, said Li Zhaoqiang from China Railway Construction.

Laying of the 698-km track began September 17. With a designed speed of 350 km per hour, the railway is expected to start operation in 2019, slashing travel time between Beijing and Shenyang to 2.5 hours.
