Can high-speed trains be operated during a typhoon? Why are there cross symbols on windows during a typhoon?

Friends in coastal areas may encounter typhoon weather in the next two days. It is best to stick a cross-shaped tape on the glass windows at home, or use hard objects such as wooden boards and furniture at home to support and strengthen the glass windows. Now is the golden peak season for travel, so can the high-speed rail be operated during a typhoon? See the detailed sharing below!

Can the high-speed rail be operated during a typhoon?

High-speed trains cannot operate during typhoons. When a typhoon hits, strong winds can easily blow up foreign objects on the roadside and hang them on the high-speed train contact network, or break high-voltage transmission lines, causing failures. If they come into contact with a moving high-speed train, it can also cause casualties. The Railway Administration will issue high-speed train suspension orders and times based on the level and impact range of the typhoon.

High-speed railway, abbreviated as HSR, refers to a railway system with high design standards that can enable trains to travel safely and at high speeds. Its concept is not limited to tracks, nor does it refer to trains.

The document "High-Speed ​​Railway Design Specifications" issued by the China National Railway Administration defines high-speed railway as a newly built passenger-only railway with a design speed of 250 to 350 kilometers per hour and standard gauge for running EMU trains.

High-speed railways can accommodate both conventional trains and high-speed trains, and high-speed trains can run on both high-speed railways and conventional railways. The only difference is that the mismatch between the design speeds of the railway and the train will restrict the operating speed.

Why do typhoon windows have rice characters on them?

Principle: The middle part of the glass is relatively fragile and easy to break. When a typhoon comes, sticking rice-shaped tape on the glass window can increase the toughness of the glass. In this way, sticking rice-shaped tape can not only resist the strong wind pressure, but also prevent casualties caused by glass breakage. In addition, sticking rice-shaped tape can reduce the vibration frequency of the glass and strengthen protection.

Sticking a rice character on the window can disperse the pressure that should be concentrated in the center of the glass window. At the same time, the glass can also be supported by the tape.

Even if the glass cannot withstand a strong typhoon after being taped, at least the danger level can be reduced due to the adhesive effect of the tape.

During typhoon weather, it is best to stick cross-shaped tape on the glass windows in your home, or use hard objects such as wooden boards and furniture at home and lean them against the glass windows to support and strengthen them.

What kind of tape should be put on the windows during a typhoon?

Before a typhoon arrives, many people will choose to stick a "M"-shaped tape on the glass windows. This can be done with common transparent tape, but if the home is equipped with tempered glass, there is actually no need to stick tape. Tempered glass is sufficient to cope with typhoons.

The effect of the "M"-shaped "tape windproof method" is very limited, and now many glasses are tempered, and their hardness is 5 times that of ordinary glass.

During typhoon weather, keep doors and windows closed indoors and avoid staying near large trees, buildings, overpasses, etc. outdoors.

The wind during typhoon weather is very strong. Do not hang clothes on the balcony or place other items on the windowsill to avoid them falling and injuring others.
