Safety & Health of Magnetic Levitation

Maglev systems have many safety and health impacts. Maglev systems are predicted to be very safe compared to similar systems of mass transit. The vehicles cannot derail due to the track design. The vehicle is "locked" onto the guide way. They also do not carry on-board fuel, therefore, it should be safer in the event of a crash. Because the vehicle does not touch the guide way, accidents related to weather and wear will be minimized. A health concern is that people must be shielded from the magnetic field radiation.
