Abstract

The MLX01 superconducting maglev vehicles have entered their seventh year of running tests on the Yamanashi Maglev Test Line (YMTL). In 2002, new types of guideway, ground coils and vehicles were introduced and test runs started to verify the characteristics of these new technologies. This paper reports on the current status of the vehicle-running tests and recent developments in the new technologies incorporated on the test line.
