Issues Related to Magnetic Levitating Trains
Magnetic Fields
Intensity of magnetic field effects of Maglev is extremely low (below everyday houhold devices)
Hair dryer, toaster, or wing machine produce stronger magnetic fields
Energy Consumption
Maglev us 30% less energy than a highspeed train traveling at the same speed. (1/3 more power for the same amount of energy)

Noi Levels
No noi caud by wheel rolling or engine
Maglev noi is lost among general ambient noi
At 100m - Maglev produces noi at 69 dB
At 100m - Typical city center road traffic is 80 dB
Vibrations
Just below human threshold of perception
Power Supply
110kV lines fed parately via two substations
Power Failure
Batteries on board automatically are activated to bring car to next station
Batteries charged continuously
Fire Resistance of vehicles
Latest non-PVC material ud that is non-combustible and poor trasmitter of heat
Maglev vehicle carries no fuel to increa fire hazard
Safety
20 times safer than an airplane
250 times safer than other conventional railways
700 times safer than travel by road
Collision is impossible becau only ctions of the track are activated as needed. The vehicles always travel in synchronization and at the same speed, further reducing the chances of a crash.
Operation Costs
Virtually no wear. Main cau of mechanical wear is friction. Magnetic levitation requires no contact, and hence no friction.
Components normally subjected to mechanical wear are on the whole replaced by electronic comonents which do not suffer any wear
Specific energy consumption is less than all other comparable means of transportation.
Faster train turnaround time means fewer vehicles
