utilization by the transportation sectors that is casing nearly 28% global energy
consumption which is equivalent to megaton CO 2 and is responsible for 28% of
global warming and thus infrastructure and transportation fuel cause a total 34% of
global warming [7, 8]. To mitigate transportation infrastructure crisis and its adverse
environmental impact, I therefore proposed a new technology of maglev transportation infrastructure system for building better transportation infrastructure system.
A recent study by Cai and Chen described the dynamic characteristics, magnetic
suspension systems, vehicle stability, and suspension control laws of
maglev/guideway coupling systems about the maglev transportation system, but
showed that commercial application of this research modeling considering life cycle
cost analysis, technology implementation, and infrastructure development did not
show any possibility. Therefore, the approach of this research is to apply the maglev
transportation infrastructure commercially for confirming a greener and cleaner
transportation infrastructure system where all vehicles shall run just over 2 ft above
the earth surface at flying stage by the act of propulsive and impulsive superconducting force. Since the vehicles will run by electromagnetic force it will not require
any energy while running over the maglev. To mitigate energy consumption when
vehicle needs to run on maglev area, additional technology has also been proposed
to implement wind energy into the vehicles while it is in a motion as backup energy
source. Thus, a detailed mathematical modeling using MATLAB Simulink software
has been implemented for this wind energy utilization for the vehicles by performing turbine and drivetrain modeling. A concerted research effort has been performed
recently on climate science and found that currently 402 ppm CO 2 is present in
atmosphere that is causing global warming which needs to be cut down to 300 ppm
CO 2 to confirm global cooling at a comfortable stage. Once maglev transportation
infrastructure system is implemented throughout the world it will reduce 34% CO 2
per year. Thus, it will take only {

most innovative technology in modern science to mitigate the cost and global warming dramatically.
Methods and Materials
In order to present maglev transportation infrastructure modeling, I have formulated
the following calculation by using MATLAB software in terms of (1) guideway
model system by adopting Bernoulli-Euler beam equation of a series of simply supported beams and (2) calculation of magnetic forces for uplift levitation and lateral
guidance with allowable levitation and guidance distance considering lateral vibration control LQR algorithm, tuning parameters, and maglev dynamics.
To prepare the guideway modeling considering free body diagram (Fig. 9.1), I
have considered multiple magnets with equal intervals (d) that are to be traveling at
a various level of speed v, where m = beam weight, c = damping coefficient,
