This　paper　puts　forward　a　systems　approach　for　the　parallel　control　and　management　of　the　high-speed　maglev　system　(HMS).　An　artificial　HMS　is　first　established　by　using　a　multiagent-based　technique,　and　we　demonstrate　its　consistence　with　the　actual　HMS.　We　then　conduct　some　computational　experiments　and　summarize　some　operational　rules　for　the　artificial　HMS.　Finally,　the　parallel　control　and　management　for　the　HMS　are　achieved　by　parallel　execution　of　the　artificial　and　actual　HMSs　with　parallel　interactions　between　them.　We　evaluate　our　approach　overall　by　ensuring　the　safety　and　reliability　of　the　HMS　through　parallel　control　and　management.　The　solutions　and　recommendations　for　the　safety　control　and　effective　management　of　the　HMS　can　be　provided　by　the　proposed　approach.　©　2000-2011　IEEE.
