The main operational safety considerations for an updated design of a high speed electrodynamic Maglev passenger transport system, which is being investigated for technical and economic application feasibility in the 590 kilometer Toronto-Montreal traffic corridor in Canada, are reviewed. The paper identifies the various types of Maglev vehicle superconducting magnet winding failures and/or associated cryocooler failures and establishes, by means of vehicle transient motion analysis, which failures modes would result in vehicle contact with the guideway in the absence of any emergency deployment of vehicle wheel suspension means. The feasibility of deploying vehicle landing and/or guidance wheelsets sufficiently rapidly to prevent vehicle contact with the guideway in the event of worst case levitation or guidance magnet system failures is considered. The paper also addresses the Maglev system safety requirements for collision and derailment avoidance with emphasis on system signalling and control operational reliability. More general system requirements for passenger security during emergency braking and vehicle emergency exiting are also considered.
