Abstract: The presentation will give an update on the current developments of maglev systems used as people movers in Germany. After the introduction of the ongoing devleopment at the APM conference in 2022 and of the maglev cargo system in 2023, this presentation summarizes ongoing project studies and the results of comparisons between maglev and other transportation systems as an alternative to conventional wheel rail systems. This includes two studies finished in the south of Germany and one study in Hamburg. The comparisons are focussing on economical, ecological and technical differences between the concepts and technologies and show their application fields.
