' Shanghai Maglev Demonstration Operation Line ') is a magnetic levitation train (maglev) line that operates in Shanghai, China. The line uses the German Transrapid technology. [2] The Shanghai maglev is the world's first commercial high-speed maglev and has a maximum cruising speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). [3]
Transrapid 09 at the Emsland test facility in Lower Saxony, Germany A full trip on the Shanghai Transrapid maglev train Example of low-speed urban maglev system, Linimo. Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of rail transport whose rolling stock is levitated by electromagnets rather than rolled on wheels, eliminating rolling resistance.
Shanghai – Hangzhou: China had planned to extend the world's first commercial Transrapid line between Pudong airport and the city of Shanghai initially by some 35 kilometers to Hong Qiao airport before the World Expo 2010 and then, in an additional phase, by 200 kilometers to the city of Hangzhou (Shanghai-Hangzhou Maglev Train), which would have been the first inter-city maglev rail line in ...
The super-speed Transrapid maglev system has no wheels, no axles, no gear transmissions, no steel rails, and no overhead electrical pantographs.The maglev vehicles do not roll on wheels; rather, they hover above the track guideway, using the attractive magnetic force between two linear arrays of electromagnetic coils—one side of the coil on the vehicle, the other side in the track guideway ...
The "fastest" train commercial service can be defined alternatively by a train's top speed or average trip speed. The fastest train service measured by peak operational speed was the Shanghai maglev train which can reach 431 km/h (268 mph). The maximum speed was limited to 300 km/h in 2021. Due to the limited length of the Shanghai Maglev track ...
Except the Shanghai maglev train and the Pujiang Line, the other seventeen lines (737 km (458.0 mi)) of the Shanghai Metro [3] are all heavy rails. These lines are operated by Shanghai Shentong Metro Group Co., Ltd., except the Huaqiao section of Line 11, which is operated by Kunshan Rail Transit Co., Ltd. The daily operating hours of Shanghai ...
The Shanghai Maglev Museum is a museum that highlights the history of the Shanghai Maglev Train and other related maglevs. [1] Opened in 2007, it is located at the Longyang Road station of the Shanghai Maglev in Shanghai , China .
It serves as both the eastern terminus of both the Shanghai maglev train, having opened to trial operations on 31 December 2002, [2] and, since an eastern extension from Guanglan Road opened on 8 April 2010, [3] [4] the eastern terminus of Line 2 of the Shanghai Metro. Although the metro and maglev stations are in the same property, they have ...
