Project Description
The project to build a high-speed railway connecting key economic zones from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City with a design speed of 350km/h, shortening travel time to 5-6 hours. The 16-car train with a capacity of 1,200 seats is designed according to international standards, integrating smart technology such as ETCS Level 3 automatic control system, regenerative brakes and high-performance electric motors. The route includes 23 main stops in major cities, 15 large river bridges and 12 mountain tunnels. The signaling and safety system is equipped with AI sensors to detect obstacles, forecast weather and adjust speed automatically. The rails are made of stainless steel with high temperature resistance and minimal vibration. The stations are designed in a hub model connecting with airports, bus stations and urban trains to create a seamless transportation network. The project also integrates renewable energy through solar panels installed along the route and wind turbines at suitable locations.
