Basic sensitivity analysis of parameters for the Maglev highway

This report supplements past studies by analysing operational situations, focusing on transport performance of the system to establish the major parameters of a Maglev Highway. Sensitivity analyses of the major parameters for transport performance that were established in this way - pallet weight, pallet air resistance, magnetic levitation gap length, linear motor gap length, and target speed - were performed to clarify the problems and challenges that will be faced when developing the Maglev Highway for use by passenger cars and large vehicles.
