High speed and urban MAGLEV (magnetic levitation) vehicles were developed as alternatives to conventional railway systems. For distances up to 500 km high speed MAGLEV trains promise to be superior to airplanes with regard to energy consumption and traveling time. Mechanical and electrical modularization and decentralized hierarchical control architectures of the levitation and guidance systems are outstanding characteristics of robust operational vehicles. The key technologies developed, based on know how and methods from spacecraft control system development and qualification, are presented.
