Abstract: High-speed health trains have the advantages of large rescue volume, strong continuous operation capability, and medical treatment on the way. It is the best transport platform for large-scale medical transfer tasks. To solve the problem of space limitations and the vehicle formation of high-speed health trains, a new method of space layout design and evaluation of high-speed health trains based on improved systematic layout planning (SLP) was proposed. First, SLP was improved, and the relationship between functional carriages was reasonably marshaled using the improved SLP. Then, according to the space constraints of high-speed trains and the requirements of the man–machine environment, the space layout of the vehicles was designed, and 3ds MAX software was used to visualize the designed layout structure. Finally, the static and dynamic simulation effects and adaptability of the design scheme were evaluated using the digital virtual simulation software JACK. The design scheme can meet the requirements of human–computer interaction efficiency. Compared with previous studies, the results of this study reflect the superiority and rationality of the design in functional configuration, space utilization, medical treatment, and injury-carrying capacity. The results of this study can provide theoretical support for the formation of high-speed health trains, and provide a reference for the research and development of such trains. It has certain practical application value.
