Research on the Comparison and Selection of Wheel Rail and Maglev Schemes Based on LCA
As a construction field with huge energy consumption, railway engineering needs to actively respond to the dual carbon policy and sustainable development concept, and actively choose appropriate construction plans to reduce energy consumption. This article conducts a comparative study on the wheel rail and maglev schemes of the Beijing Shanghai high-speed railway based on LCA. The energy consumption of the wheel rail and maglev is calculated and analyzed during the materials, equipment, transportation, and construction stages. Finally, a comprehensive comparative evaluation is conducted on the two. Provide scientific and reliable reference ideas for the comparison and evaluation of railway wheel rail and maglev schemes from the perspective of full lifecycle assessment of energy consumption.
