SUMMARY

Transrapid ceased operations in 2012, marking the end of its involvement in the development and construction of Maglev trains. The discussion highlights the user's efforts to contact Transrapid for information regarding their current status, which went unanswered. Additionally, the user seeks information about the competing Japanese company known for developing Maglev technology, which is Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) with its Shinkansen Maglev trains.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Maglev train technology
  • Familiarity with simulation software for engineering projects
  • Knowledge of model construction techniques
  • Awareness of the history of transportation technology
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Central Japan Railway Company's Maglev technology
  • Explore simulation software options for engineering projects
  • Learn about the construction techniques for scaled models of trains
  • Investigate the history and advancements in Maglev train systems
USEFUL FOR

Students and researchers interested in transportation technology, engineers working on simulation projects, and hobbyists focused on model train construction.

Hi!

I doing some research about Maglev trains as a science project, and will ultimatly try to create a simulation of a Maglev train, and finaly a scaled real life model. Anyway, I tried to contact Transrapid to ask them a few questions about the trains. But now it has gone two weeks, and I have not got any answer. Is the company still in operation and constructing maglevtrains? If not, what happened to them ? And finaly, does anyone know the name of the "rival" Japaneese company that delevops Maglev trains in Japan?

Ofcourse any tips and of how to create the simulation and model would also be appreciated!
