| Name | Maglev vs. Wheeled PRT |
| Description | Magnetic 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.
