Numerical Study of Longitudinal Inter-Distance and Operational Characteristics for High-Speed Capsular Train Systems

High-speed capsular vehicles are firstly suggested as an idea by Elon Musk of Tesla Company. Unlike conventional high-speed trains, individual vessels carrying passengers and freight with the expected maximum speed near 1200 [km/h] in a near-vacuum tunnel. More vehicle speed, dispatch, position control operational aspect over connected trains. This numerical study investigation evaluate analyze inter-distance their characteristics for aspects. Among many aspects operation, multiple is critical toward passenger/freight flow rate infrastructural investment. In this paper, system’s equation, equation motion, various system introduced, particular design parameters actuation numerically shown. As conclusion, (1) Inter-distance between function error second car start time, magnitude range determined (2) fluctuation however; it can be minimized choosing correct (3) If time chosen integer number push-down cycle at specific velocity rate, zero.
