Abstract
The rise of magnetic levitation technology for trains (Maglev) in the XX century can be seen as a conquest since those trains can reach speeds up to 590 km/h. In Brazil nearly 85% of the public transportation is made by bus which affect the general circulation speed and stimulates the population to migrate to individual transportation options, reducing the potential demand and increasing public transportation costs. This paper proposes the actual literature review on the maglev technology to characterize its use on cities with more than 300,000 inhabitants. After the analysis, a discussion on the maglev technology integration with other transportation modes improves not only the average speed on public transportation but it also reduces the background noises on a high populated area, plus integrating distant neighborhoods and different commercial and industrial with a more reliable and predictable service improving the city’s urban mobility factors.
