HIGH-SPEED TRAINS – MAGLEV TRAINS

The development of megacities, with a large population, imposes increasing mobility in order tomaintain the economic and social development. There is a great necessity for a contemporary andnew infrastructure at the urban, suburban, intercity, and international level. At the same time, thereis also a need to improve transport in terms of environmental protection, to reduce effects such asnoise, pollution, and congestion. The latest researches show that by 2050, carbon dioxide (CO2)emissions need to be reduced by 75%. This reduction can be achieved only by applying newtechnologies of transportation systems. One of these technologies, which is shown in this work, isthe Maglev system for trains of high speed.
