Safe against derailment No speed reduction in case of crosswinds Permanent Guideway Inspection regarding Geometry Deviations No possibility for collision

Motor Section Activated Motor Section Switched Off Motor Section Switched Off

Energy Supply Fully automated Transportation System

The system has been designed and simulated for the following events with a speed of 500 km/h:

Collision of the skid with a stone of 15 kg

Collision of the nose with a stone of 50 kg laying on the guideway

Collision of the nose with a tree-trunk leaning on the guideway in a 45 degree angle

Collision of the nose with a tree-trunk placed on top of the guideway

Fast in acceleration (65 % higher by only 20% distance)

Riskless for people (pace maker)

Environment-friendly in energy consumption (40 % less)

Lower space requirements (15 –25% less)

Application possibilities (curve radius 50% less, gradient 150% higher)

Lower maintenance cost (70 % less)

Safe against derailment and collision
