An ODU Perspective on Maglev ApplicationAn ODU Perspective on Maglev Application

• The U.S. transportation problem is serious and worsening• Short-haul air travel is restricted by airport capacity and security concerns• Interstates are at capacity in many areas• U.S. high-speed rail is in its infancy, with Amtrak experiencing difficulties

•Maglev offers one option for medium-speed intra-urban and/orhigh-speed inter-city travel

• The U.S. trade balance is currently $1.73 in imports per $1 exported• Many U.S. Maglev projects propose purchase of Transrapid vehicles

A serious U.S. R&D effort to develop Maglev

specifically for the U.S. environment appears warranted.

Objectives of Demonstrable Engineering Prototype (DEP)Objectives of Demonstrable Objectives of Demonstrable Engineering Prototype (DEP)Engineering Prototype (DEP)

“… to bring the ODU/AMT urban Maglev system to Demonstrable Engineering Prototype Status”DEP means “routinely operational at performance levels that are comparable…to an operational campus transportation system, but not yet intended for scheduled use in the public sector”“System will be levitated and propelled over 305m of guide way”

Target speed is 18m/secVelocity profile tracking, breaking and station acquisition to be verified
