APPROVAL, RELIABILITY AND SAFETY ASPECTS IN THE USE OF MAGNETIC HIGH-SPEED RAIL SYSTEMS. INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM: RESEARCH AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN TRANSPORTATION HELD JUNE 6-8, 1988, HAMBURG, WEST GERMANY

ZULASSUNGS-, ZUVERLASSIGKEITS- UND SICHERHEITSASPEKTE BEIM EINSATZ DER MAGNETSCHNELLBAHN

Magnetic levitation systems such as IVA '79 (TR 05) and TVE (TR 06) have been licensed according to the German Test Facility Act. When licensing maglev systems for public transport services, it is important to realize that existing technical standards and regulations are only partially applicable to maglev systems, since the technical possibilities imply new operational and rescue strategies requiring active technical systems. The reliability of these systems is a basic precondition for the safety of maglev systems.
