LOW SPEED MAGLEV TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The overall objective of the Low Speed Maglev Technology Development Program was to develop magnetic levitation technology that is a cost effective, reliable and environmentally sound transit option for urban mass transportation in the United States. Magnetically levitated vehicles offer a number of benefits over traditional urban transit options, such as buses, light rail lines, subway systems, etc. Maglev vehicles are a quiet, safe, and efficient alternative, which enables city planners to place a transit system where it is most needed. Maglev technology offers a revolutionary solution to relieve congestion in highly populated urban and surrounding metropolitan areas.
