NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR GUIDED TRANSPORT SYSTEMS. UP-TO-DATE DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, MAJOR PARAMETERS FOR OPERATIONAL UNCONVENTIONAL HIGH SPEED TRANSPORT SYSTEMS

The report gives an up-to-date account of the estate of research and development in the field on non-conventional high speed transport systems in the USA, in Japan and Europe and attempts to give a forecast of practical applications expected in this field in the near and more distant future. In continuation of the work described in RP 1 further parameters for the high speed application of magnetic levitation systems were calculated with the SYSMAG computer model; the model was extended to permit calculation of data for synchronous linear motor propulsion with the active part in the track.
