In order to reduce the speed gap which still exists between trains and aeroplanes, a maglev transportation system is now under construction in Germany. This entails designing a control system which is able to take full responsibility for the operations and performance of the entire transportation system. To design an operations control for such an advanced transportation system, a specification must be drawn up of all operational requirements and the special technical features of maglev systems taken into consideration. In this paper, the objectives of maglev transportation will be discussed in detail for these have an important bearing on operations control. To start with, a system overview will be given. The operations control system, according to functional decomposition and spatial distribution, has a 3-level hierarchical arrangement. The operational functions are protection, control and supervision which should be carried out continuously and automatically by the on-board, wayside and centrally located facilities.
