An Operation Control Strategy for the Connected Maglev Trains Based on Vehicle-Borne Battery Condition Monitoring

Table 5

The temperature related strategies.

TemperatureOperation control strategies

Lower than −20°CPump hot air into the battery box

−20°C to 55°CRun normally

Higher than 55°C VDC sends the high-temperature alarm to OCS to increase the cooling fan.
VDC sends battery failure to OCS when the alarm keeps for over 3 minutes.
If the temperature continues to rise but does not reach the limit of combustion, all passengers get off after the train stops.
If the temperature reaches the limit of combustion, VDC releases fire alarm, the train stops in the nearest ASA.
