High Speed Surface Transport

High Speed ​​Surface Transport ( HSST ) is a Japanese maglev for passenger transport in urban traffic.

System

The drive of HSST based on the principle of a linear motor. Since the stator of the linear motor other than the Transrapid in the vehicle and is not incorporated in the rails and can thus induce voltage vehicles still require a power supply ( 275 V ), which is produced via contact to the rails. The electromagnets are positioned under the rails so that the train on the rails attracts and repels not as in JR - Maglev. The distance to the rail is controlled by a sensor.

HSST -01

HSST -01 was developed in 1974 and 1978 reached a speed of 307.8 km / h

HSST -02

HSST -02 was built in 1981 and provided room for two people, the test vehicle reached a speed of 110 km / h It is ( as on the picture to see ) inside out.

HSST -03

The test vehicle HSST -03 was completed for Expo '85. It is 13.8 m long, 3 m wide and 12 tons and is now in Minami Park in Okazaki (Japan).

HSST -04

HSST -04 was completed in 1988 and was the first generation, which was led outside. It was 19.4 m long, 3 m wide, weighs 20 tons and 40 km / h.

HSST -05

The test vehicle HSST -05 was the first two-part vehicle and was built in 1989. It was 36.3 m long, 3 m wide, weighed 40 tons and was 45 km / h fast.

HSST -100S

HSST -100S was a feasible test vehicle for the transport of two sections, each of which was 5.5 m long, weighed 10 tons and could carry 67 people. It had 6 drive modules.

HSST -100L

HSST -100L was a kind of pre-production and was its predecessor quite similar. It also consisted of two sections, each of which was 8.5 m long, weighed 15 tons and could carry 110 people. The vehicle had 10 drive modules.

Linimo

Linimo is the first commercial application, and was set for Expo 2005. The 8.9 km long line connects the metro station with the station Fujigaoka Yakusa the Aichi Loop Line.
