As part of the Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) Magnetic Levitation Transportation Technology Deployment Program, the technical report has been prepared to charaterize the vibration associated with the operation of the Transrapid International (TRI) TR08 Maglev System. The TRI Maglev System is an advanced transportation technology in which magnetic forces levitate, propel, and guide a vehicle over a specially-designated guideway. The TR08 Maglev System is the technology that is being considered for deployment in the U.S., and potential vibration impact of the technology were not known. This document presents vibration data collected during measurement of the TRI Maglev System in August 2001 at the TRI Test Facility in the Emsland region of Germany. Vibration data presented for the TR08 include generic force spectra for various guideway types, as well as, speed- and distance-based vibration relationships., This document presents vibration data collected during measurement of the TRI Maglev System in August 2001 at the TRI Test Facility in the Emsland region of Germany.
