Abstract

RTRI is advancing fundamental research and development into superconducting maglev. Topics covered include characteristics of maglev vehicle dynamics, experimental production, and evaluation of REBCO high-temperature superconducting coils. RTRI is also promoting research on the application of maglev technology to conventional railways system. Examined issues include contactless power supply systems for railway vehicles and flywheel energy storage systems.
