Abstract

<p>Japan and Germany are the only countries developing maglev trains with the intention to build a maglev operation line. Both countries work on different maglev technologies, but the development and the tasks for realization are similar. However, since the construction of the German Transrapid is supposed to start in 1999, the finance structure and the realization process can be analyzed more in detail than in the case of the Japanese Linear Chuo Shinkansen. The aim is to investigate and compare the problems of constructing a maglev route, the finance system and the question of profitability in both countries.</p>
