This call seeks potential solutions to address current transport challenges and enhance the performance of the existing rail system through the introduction of Maglev-Derived Transport Systems (MDS). The call aims to further evaluate and address the technical open points of maglev-derived technologies. Additionally, the call focuses on advancing the design concept based on the most promising use cases, resolving technical issues, analysing the system’s economic viability, and proposing a fully automated, full-scale MDS application concept.
For more information on the Call, please consult our Work Programme 2025-2026.
