  1. OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY MAGNETIC LEVITATION TRANSPORTATION DEMONSTRATION PROJECT

  2. WHAT IS MAGLEV? • Maglev Means MAGnetic LEVitation • Use Of Wheels Is Replaced By Magnetic Fields • Maglev Vehicles Are Capable Of Much Higher Speeds And Acceleration • No Moving Parts - Low O&M

  3. WHY MAGLEV IS TRANSPORTATION FOR THE FUTURE

  4. Who stands behind American Maglev? Strategic Alliance of Partners • American Maglev Technology • Holds patents to the technology / site management • Dominion - Virginia Power • Provide power equipment and site power • Lockheed Martin • Design vehicles, guiderails, system controls, system integration, system tests • Old Dominion University • First Customer

  5. The Market is Huge $2+Billion projected market in 2007 Capability High Speed (250 km/hr) $2B Mid Range Regional (150 km/hr) $1B Short Haul Regional (75 km/hr) 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Time

  6. PROJECT HISTORY • American Maglev Technology, Inc. (AMT) Forms Partnership With Lockheed Martin, Dominion Virginia Power (1997) • Proposed System Deemed Viable (VDOT, CIT, Others - 1998) • AMT And University Reach Agreement (1999) • Commonwealth Transportation Board Approves Loan And Agreement With University (2000) • Maglev Demonstration Project Initiated (2001)

  7. ODU PROJECT OBJECTIVES • Establish Maglev Systems As Feasible And Practical • Provide Functional Transportation System For Old Dominion University • Establish Old Dominion University As Leading Research University In Maglev Technology • Qualify System For Use In Other Locations/Situations

  8. PROJECT BUDGET • $ 7,000,000 Commonwealth of Virginia Loan • $ 2,000,000 Federal Funds • $ 7,000,000 Private Funds $16,000,000

  17. According To Argonne National Laboratory, The US Needs 13,000 Miles Of High Speed Intercity System Within 20 Years (a $300 Billion Market) FRA Has Selected 9 Routes that Are Deemed “Financially Feasible” ($95 Billion) Estimates Are For 2-3 Miles Of Urban And Regional System Every Mile Of High-Speed System World-wide Market Will Be Vast! LONG TERM POTENTIALFOR MAGLEV… A World Market

  18. AMT Market Space • AMT plans to be 30% of $2 billion market in 2008 • Advanced technology induces demand and accelerates new projects. • Lower cost per mile opens up new markets.

  19. WASHINGTON-RICHMOND-HAMPTON ROADS • The ODU Project Was Envisioned As The “Test Case” For This Project. Phase 1 Is $1.5B. • VA Legislature Made This Maglev Project A “State Priority” In This Year’s Budget. • Financial Studies Indicate That Washington To Richmond Is Financially Feasible Now. • High Focus On 400th Anniversary Celebration.

  20. IT IS ALL ABOUT THE COST • The Technology Can Be Deployed For An “All Up” Cost Of Under $20 Million Per Kilometer • The Technology Is Ready Now For New Transit Deployments • A Realistic Plan Has Been Developed To Grow The Technology To Higher Speeds And More Complex Operation
