Definition Magnetic levitation or maglev is a technology that uses magnetic fields to lift and propel an object without physical contact. This phenomenon is achieved by the repulsive and attractive forces between superconducting or permanent magnets allowing objects to float or move frictionlessly above a surface.

 

Maglev transportation is a highly promising form of transportation for the future primarily due to its friction-free operation exceptional comfort and low risk of derailment. Unlike conventional transportation systems maglev trains operate with no mechanical contact with the track.

 

This study reviewed relevant literature on the field of magnetic levitation technologies in transportation systems. Also the current trends in the use of magnetic levitation technologies in transportation as well as potential future applications was evaluated.

 

Magnetic levitation (maglev) is a cutting-edge transportation technology in which vehicles are lifted and propelled by magnetic forces eliminating physical contact with the guideway and thus drastically reducing friction.

 

Maglev trains utilize powerful magnets to levitate above the tracks eliminating friction and allowing for extremely high speeds and typically have a wide speed range.

 

Magnetic levitation (Maglev) technology represents a transformative advancement in high-speed transportation integrating principles of superconductivity and electrodynamics to enable...

 

Maglev trains use electromagnetic force to levitate several inches over the track or guideway. By eliminating a key source of friction?that of the wheels on the rails?such trains can reach higher speeds than conventional trains have longer lasting parts and are very quiet and smooth to ride.

 

Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of rail transport whose rolling stock is levitated by electromagnets rather than rolled on wheels eliminating rolling resistance. [1][2][3]
