Method and system for operating a maglev train

An operating process for a suspended magnetic rail vehicle comprises an exciter on the vehicle (7e,f) and drive sections (A3,4) along the track. To increase vehicle density the drive regions are divided into independent drive sections (A2a,b,A4a,b) and in each section a vehicle is driven with part of the power applied to the section. An independent claim is also included for a device as above.
