International experts share experiences on high-speed rail

TPO - Today (January 9), the University of Transport in collaboration with Southwest Jiaotong University (China) organized the International Conference "Construction of High-speed Railways in Vietnam and China's Experience".

TPO - Today (January 9), the University of Transport in collaboration with Southwest Jiaotong University (China) organized the International Conference "Construction of High-speed Railways in Vietnam and China's Experience".

Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Van Hung - Rector of the University of Transport - said that the workshop gathered prestigious scientists and experts in the railway field from Southwest University of Transport - the leading school in high-speed railways in China, the University of Transport, scientists and alumni of the University of Transport who are working in the field of high-speed railways from Europe.

This is an opportunity to listen to the latest research and application results of leading professors and experts on technical and technological issues of high-speed railways such as: experience in building a high-speed railway standard system in China, technical solutions in handling high-speed railway foundations in China and Europe, the issue of selecting railway bridge structures, the issue of train-rail contact, control-signal solutions, electrification in high-speed railways, and other important scientific and technical issues.

It is known that before and after this workshop, an intensive training course on high-speed railway design was held with the participation of professors and scientists from Southwest University of Transport and the University of Transport, attracting the participation of more than one hundred engineers and professionals working in the field of transport.

A group of lecturers from the University of Transport presented a study of technical proposals for the North-South high-speed railway project. According to the group, China's experience shows that for distances under 800km, high-speed rail is suitable, and for distances over 1,000km, air travel is recommended.

High-speed railways when deployed in Vietnam need to pay attention to issues such as weak ground, weather factors and sunlight. The research team of Dr. Trinh Viet Nam (Republic of France) focuses on the design of high-speed railway foundations in France, England and recommendations for Vietnam.

Dr. Trinh Viet Nam proposed three contents: selecting technology, high-speed railway surface structure, establishing a set of high-speed railway technical standards, and training human resources, attracting talents for the railway industry.

This is also the scientific forum that kicks off the next international scientific forums organized by the University of Transport in collaboration with international partners in the field of high-speed railways and urban railways such as Russia, France, Germany, etc.

The forums aim to carry out the pioneering task of receiving and transferring core technology in the field of high-speed railways and urban railways of the University of Transport - the earliest and only university in the country to carry out the task of training all majors in the railway field in Vietnam.
