Abstract

An innovative Light Rail Maglev (LRM) is studied and proposed in order to obtain simultaneously the levitation, propulsion and guidance of vehicle and realize environmentally options for public urban transportation. The system used is a short vehicle supported by magnetic forces by using High Temperature Superconductor (HTSC) materials. The primary with HTSC wires are installed on the vehicle while the HTSC passive secondary stripes are distributed on bottom and lateral sides of guideway. The main characteristics of the proposed system are presented and discussed. For the covering abstract see ITRD E120462.
