OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITYMAGNETIC LEVITATION TRANSPORTATION DEMONSTRATION PROJECT

Old Dominion University MagLev Presentation

WHAT IS MAGLEV?

• Maglev Means MAGnetic LEVitation

• Use Of Wheels Is Replaced By Magnetic Fields

• Maglev Vehicles Are Capable Of Much Higher Speeds And Acceleration

• No Moving Parts - Low O&M


WHY MAGLEV IS TRANSPORTATION FOR THE FUTURE


Strategic Alliance of Partners– American Maglev Technology

• Holds patents to the technology / site management

– Dominion - Virginia Power

• Provide power equipment and site

LONG TERM POTENTIALFOR MAGLEV

… A World Market• According To Argonne National Laboratory, The US Needs

13,000 Miles Of High Speed Intercity System Within 20 Years (a $300 Billion Market)

• FRA Has Selected 9 Routes that Are Deemed “Financially Feasible” ($95 Billion)

• Estimates Are For 2-3 Miles Of Urban And Regional System Every Mile Of High-Speed System

• World-wide Market Will Be Vast!


AMT Market Space

• AMT plans to be 30% of $2 billion market in 2008

• Advanced technology induces demand and accelerates new projects.

• Lower cost per mile opens up new markets.


WASHINGTON-RICHMOND-HAMPTON ROADS

• The ODU Project Was Envisioned As The “Test Case” For This Project. Phase 1 Is $1.5B.

• VA Legislature Made This Maglev Project A “State Priority” In This Year’s Budget.

• Financial Studies Indicate That Washington To Richmond Is Financially Feasible Now.

• High Focus On 400th Anniversary Celebration.


IT IS ALL ABOUT THE COST

• The Technology Can Be Deployed For An “All Up” Cost Of Under $20 Million Per Kilometer

• The Technology Is Ready Now For New Transit Deployments

• A Realistic Plan Has Been Developed To Grow The Technology To Higher Speeds And More Complex Operation
