THE FASTRANSIT SYSTEM

The FASTRANSIT system is a packet-switching transportation network that uses permanent magnetic levitation and linear motors for instant switching and direct routing on an ultra-high capacity network for passengers and freight.

Using Applied Levitation’s no-contact Stabilized Permanent Magnet (“SPM”) levitation system, FASTRANSIT has developed an innovative approach with the following potential attributes: 

Instant Track Switching | Network Routing | Off-Line Stations | Direct Vehicle Routing

Shorter Headway | Faster Acceleration and Deceleration |Higher Capacity

Reduced Initial Investment | Lower Energy Costs

FASTRANSIT’s technology will revolutionize our transportation system using small and large computer-controlled maglev vehicles. Variations are suitable for industrial, intra-city, inter-city and even transcontinental passenger and freight transportation.

FASTRANSIT has completed the construction of its small-scale prototype (see upper left photo), and a full-scale prototype has been completed by Applied Levitation (see lower left photo).
