Abstract

After decades of research and development, magnetic levitation (maglev) trains are about to enter a new era of high-speed intercity deployment in Germany, Japan, and China, and U.S. projects also are preparing for operation. This article reviews the status of maglev technology and discusses German, Japanese, and Chinese initiatives, and American efforts in the deployment of maglev systems.
