What are the advantages of maglev train?

(1) Low noise. Because there is no friction between the wheels and the rail surface during operation, the noise of maglev train is10dB lower than that of automobile and15dB lower than that of ordinary high-speed train, which is equivalent to the voice of ordinary people. ② The ride is smooth and comfortable. Because the car body runs off the ground, the vibration is small, just like sitting in a flying plane. ③ Safe and reliable, without derailment, rollover and other accidents; ④ Low energy consumption. Under the same transportation efficiency, the energy consumption is reduced by about 1/3 compared with ordinary high-speed trains. According to relevant tests, the power consumed by a maglev train to transport a passenger at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour is only 60% of that of an airplane; ⑤ Low maintenance cost, which can be greatly reduced because there are few wearing parts and the service life of parts is prolonged; ⑥ The line occupies less land, and the maglev train line is generally elevated, mainly occupying the ground as the pier; ⑦ Strong climbing ability, which is about twice as large as that of conventional railway trains.

When the maglev train runs at high speed, it will only hear a slight hiss, just like an ultra-low-altitude plane flying close to a special rail surface, "flying without wings", and there is no other resistance except air friction, which can reach the unprecedented high speed of land vehicles.
