0 short for magnetic levitation: an advanced type of transport system in which a train travels on a magnetic track, often at very high speeds:
More than a dozen cities are considering building maglevs.
a maglev line/train High-speed maglev trains can travel at 430 kilometres per hour.
Following the opening, overall maglev train ridership levels were at 20% of capacity.
The initiative identified several corridors, each extending hundreds of miles, across the country that might benefit from high-speed maglev trains.
Monorail configurations have also been adopted by maglev trains.
Magnetic bearings are also used to support maglev trains in order to get low noise and smooth ride by eliminating physical contact surfaces.
Based on current and foreseeable technology, these speeds will more than likely be reached predominantly by maglev trains.
Low-acceleration linear motors are suitable for maglev trains and other ground-based transportation applications.
It was a driverless maglev system with a 1.6 km track connecting three stations.
Train tracks usually consists of two, three or four rails, with a limited number of monorails and maglev guideways in the mix.
