With the rapid development of China's high-speed wheel-rail and the gradual construction, testing and improvement of magnetic levitation (maglev), and the sustainable development of fundamental installations have become the irresistible trend of China's transport construction. Compared to high-speed wheel-rail transit, magnetic levitated train has the advantage in speed, especially in intercity high-speed transportation. According to actual situation, this paper presents the comparative studies on high-speed maglev and wheel-rail, using the concrete parameter. The authors believe that high-speed maglev train has some competitive advantages on the quantity of energy consumption per unit transportation, air pollution, noise pollution, soil occupation, ecological impact and so on, those are in accordance with China's sustainable development conception. Therefore, promoting the development of maglev is one of the most important measures to fulfill the sustainable development requirement of China's traffic.
