The report titled MAGLEV TRAINS accomplishes a research on the
developing discipline of magnetic levitation and its application to
transportation through trains. It provides detailed information about the
evolution of maglev science, its progression and improvisation till date. Highspeed
magnetically levitated ground transportation (maglev) is a new surface
mode of transportation, in which vehicles glide above their guideways,
suspended, guided, and propelled by magnetic forces. This report tries to
explain the complexities involved in this technology in a simple but precise
manner, so that all the methods implemented in it are understood by the
reader at prima facie. This report, tries to compare the conventional modes of
transport with maglev trains in various aspects such as safety, durability,
speed, comfort and so on. Thus, providing the advantages and disadvantages
of the trains. Further, this report helps us to learn about the various cities
around the world, where maglev trains currently run and also provides an
overview of the proposals for such trains, which are being considered as a
promising investment globally. Consecutively, it deals with the accidents that
have occurred at places where maglev trains have been implemented and the
reasons that triggered them. This data has been included so that such
incidents may be avoided in the future and in order that certain necessary
modifications are made to improve the safety measures of these trains.
Capable of travelling at speeds of 250 to 300 miles-per-hour or higher, maglev
would offer an attractive and convenient alternative for travellers between
large urban areas for trips of up to 600 miles. It would also help relieve
current and projected air and highway congestion by substituting for shorthaul
air trips, thus releasing capacity for more efficient long-haul service at
crowded airports, and by diverting a portion of highway trips. Finally, our
report gives a peek into the future expansions of maglev trains and thus
undoubtedly assures its readers that maglev trains are no longer a science
fiction, and are in fact the future of world transportation.
