Understanding AI Based Maglev Trains and The Future of Transportation

Derived from the Latin word “Levitas” which means “lightness,” the term levitation indicates the rising or lifting of a person or thing by unnatural means. It is the process by which an object is held aloft, in a stable position, without mechanical support or physical contact. Magnetic levitation trains, or maglev trains, are high-speed AI-enhanced trains that move by gliding above dedicated magnetic guideways without making any contact with the tracks. Maglev technology represents the realization of the 21st-century engineering vision of high-speed, magnetically propelled vehicles that can move from one place to another, without the maintenance and safety concerns associated with traditional railroads.
