Auxiliary Stopping Area Layout Method for High-Speed Maglev considering Multiple Speed Profiles and Bidirectional Operation

Figure 4

Result based on the uniform distribution (stepping redundancy time is 2 s). Unsuitable areas are candidate auxiliary stopping areas that do not meet the constraint conditions as equations (5), (6), and (7). The positive direction profiles and the opposite direction profiles are the trains operating speed curves with different directions and reference speeds. The max-speed profile and the min-speed profile are the limitation speed curve of the corresponding auxiliary stopping area.
