Details for Maglev vs. Wheeled PRT
PropertyValue
NameMaglev vs. Wheeled PRT
DescriptionMagnetic levitation or maglev is an alternative approach to vehicle suspension. Instead of wheels, magnetic force is employed to counteract gravity. Maglev is particularly useful at high speeds when wheels must resist very high centrifugal forces. Ride quality, durability, and safety then require high precision in wheel and track manufacture, installation, and maintenance. At issue is the need for this more complex, energy consuming, and expensive approach in lower speed applications.
