A delegation consisting of Researcher Xu Junqi, Associate Researcher Pan Hongliang, Associate Professor Sun Yougang, and Associate Professor Rong Lijun from the (National) Maglev Transportation Engineering Technology Research Center of Tongji University visited Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST) recently. They were warmly received by Director Liu Chengkun of the Institute of Sustainable Development at MUST, Director She Quanrong, and Chair Professor Li Zongjin from the School of Innovation Engineering.
During the discussion and exchange, Researcher Xu Junqi from the Maglev Center of Tongji University introduced the basic situation of the center. Associate Researcher Pan Hongliang explained the maglev transportation system and its advantages, such as high - speed, safety, low vibration, low noise, environmental - friendliness, and passenger - friendliness. Chair Professor Li Zongjin from the School of Innovation Engineering at MUST took the Shanghai Pudong Maglev Train as an example and raised several technical questions, which were discussed with the experts from the Maglev Center. Director Liu of the institute analyzed that, considering the situation in the Greater Bay Area and Macau, the maglev can meet the one - hour commuting needs in urban areas and will be a green and low - carbon solution for urban transportation. Both sides expressed their intention to strengthen cooperation and exchanges, and pay more attention to and support the engineering application and sustainable development of the maglev train transportation system.
