The overall objective of the Low Speed Maglev Technology Development Program was to develop magnetic levitation technology that is a cost-effective, reliable and environmentally sound transit option for urban mass transportation in the United States. Magnetically levitated vehicles offer a number of benefits over traditional urban transit options, such as buses, light rail lines, subway systems, etc. Maglev vehicles are a quiet, safe, and efficient alternative, which enables city planners to place a transit system where it is most needed. Maglev technology offers a revolutionary solution to relieve congestion in highly populated urban and surrounding metropolitan areas. This report summarizes an assessment of maglev development status, provides the results of a number of trade studies performed by the General Atomics team. It also provides a summary of urban maglev design requirements, and a description of a system meeting these requirements. In addition, an engineering and construction schedule for the selected system is provided, as well as a budgetary cost estimate. An outline of a commercialization plan is presented.
