Terminology Standardization of Vacuum Tube Transport

Abstract

Abstract: Vacuum tube transport will be a new transport way which is faster than high-speed railway and airplanes, and the related research and development are being executed all over the world. However, there has been developed many different terms in both Chinese and English, which brought perplex and disorder in communication, development and popularization of vacuum tube transport. Based on analyzing the concept origin and research work in recent years, we think “Vacuum Tube Transport” should be accepted as the standard terminology in English expression, and scientific term and commercial logo should be distinguished in research and communication.

Key words: vacuum tube transport, terminology standardization, English expression

CLC Number: (长途运输)
