Development of Segmented Urban Transit Maglev Switch

Reliable fast working maglev switch is one of the key technologies needed for the maglev system to be commercialized. Switch for the maglev system is large, heavy, complicated, expensive compared with that of the traditional wheel-on-rail system. This paper reports the development of a segmented maglev switch for urban transit maglev system under construction for the 6.1 km long double track maglev commercialization line in Inchon international airport in 2012. Test results along with details of the segmented maglev switch components are reported.
