Alignment Alternatives
SCMAGLEV Technical Requirements
- Strict geometry is necessary to ensure highest practical
speed can be attained by SCMAGLEV technology
- Tunnel or viaduct alignments allow for increased safety
and minimizes disruption
- Shifting direction at top speed must be safely
accomplished over a long and gradual geometry to ensure passenger comfort
