Maglev, short for magnetic levitation, is a method of transportation that uses magnetic levitation to carry vehicles with magnets rather than with wheels, axles and bearings. It propels and is more efficient than conventional trains, as there is no friction with the tracks. The Shanghai Maglev Train, the world’s fastest passenger train, regularly exceeds 267 mph (430 km/h). The only other currently operational Maglev systems serving the public are the Linimo in Japan and Daejeon in South Korea. This paper takes a closer look at train transportation developments that rely on maglev technology.
