The Laboratory aligns with major national strategic mandates, including the Outline for Building a Nation with Strong Transportation Nation and the National Comprehensive Three-Dimensional Transportation Network Plan. Leveraging the resources of the School of Transportation Engineering and the High-Speed Train Research Center, the Lab integrates a core team of experts in aerodynamics and intelligent Operation & Maintenance (O&M). Utilizing proprietary numerical simulation methods, the world’s only 600 km/h-class moving model test platform for ultra-high-speed train aerodynamics, and China’s leading diagnostic systems for rotating machinery and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), the Lab conducts systematic research on the aerodynamic safety and intelligent O&M of next-generation higher-speed trains.
