Description

News archive for low/medium-speed maglev - "Urban Maglev".

Systems using mature LIM/EMS technology are the Japanese Chubu HSST, Korean Rotem UTM, and the Chinese 160km/h MLT by Beijing Enterprises and Tangshan Railway Vehicle Co.. In the US there are LIM/EMS test tracks at ODU in Virginia and at AMT in Georgia .

Other systems under development are the (1) MagneMotion (M3) using LSM vice LIM propulsion and EMS with permanent magnets (PM), (2) the General Atomics Sky Shuttle and Magplane using LSM with Inductrack EDS vice EMS, and LevX using PMs.

The world's first commercial Urban Maglev, the 9km/9station Tobu Kyuryo Line (TKL), opened in Aichi, Japan In March 2005. By May 2006 the CHSST "Linimo" had carried over 22 million with 99.997% reliability. In Korea a similar system by Hyundai Rotem in operation in Daejeon will open in Incheon in 2012. China MLTs by 2015 are planned for the 27km Beijing-Mentougou Dist S1 line and 25km Shenzhen Metro Line No. 8 from the Trade Center to Meisha .

In the US an HSST-type maglev has been studied for the "I-70 Denver-Vail" corridor, an Inductrack/LSM system demonstration project proposed for California U. of Pennsylvania.

Examples of super-speed inter-city maglev systems are German/Chinese LSM/EMS Transrapid, and the Japanese JR Superconducting LSM/EDS MLX.
