4. coaching consulting design raschbichler | consulting DR. MICHAEL RASCHBICHLER Actual developments on globalized markets Increasing spezialisation and complexity of organisation in networks or project companies. Shift from mass production (Fordistic) to flexible, individualized production (Post-Fordistic). Demographic changes and increasing importance of innovative clusters and regions. Spatial and interactional expansion of economic areas and concentration on metropolitan areas due to Globalization. Temporal distance, not spatial, is the determining factor. Limited capacities on existing railway networks.

5. coaching consulting design raschbichler | consulting DR. MICHAEL RASCHBICHLER Requirements for future transportation infrastructures Available and flexible Short trip times despite intermediate stops. Safe and reliable Low costs Ecologically consistent Fit to regional settlement structure. Interconnect flexible and innovative clusters and regions in a network.

11. coaching consulting design raschbichler | consulting DR. MICHAEL RASCHBICHLER Why maglev? 70th: new systems needed to reach HighSpeed 90th: railways with 300 – 350 km/h (180 – 215 mph) Airtravel is adequate system to link metropolitan regions in globalized markets. Maglev is adequat system for regional and transcontinental networks. Maglev is to bring short international trip times by airtravel into the regions. Maglev strengthens smaller regions and links them to international markets. Maglev strengthens Railway companies in the fight for market shares and benefits.

12. coaching consulting design raschbichler | consulting DR. MICHAEL RASCHBICHLER Maglev is the future of modern high-speed transportation. Which region will give the major impulse for the implementation of this innovative transportation system? Europe? Asia? America?
