Abstract Maglev technology has evolved most significantly in the area of railway passenger transport due to its original emergence as an alternative to wheel-on-rail systems in the mid-1960s. Its development resulted in the construction of a number of systems currently in service and under construction. While there is a wide range of such systems, only commercial and operational systems are dealt with in this text, as the author has the aim of highlighting the practical aspects. In addition, systems that may have a long history are presented briefly as they have already been extensively covered in the literature or on the Internet.
