A networked guideway transit system uses permanent magnet repulsion with
induction-based repulsion within the networked guideway transport system,
which can levitate passively with motion. Magnetic levitation technology
is used to replace wheels as the primary means of vehicle suspension. The
networked guideway transit system uses the permanent magnets to provide
primary lift and uses electrodynamic repulsion to create centering forces
at most operational speeds while integrating linear motor functions with
the electrodynamic centering function. Further, the networked guideway
transit system uses no moving parts in the guideways, which enhances
reliability in the guideways.
