The Role of First Persons of the Russian Statein Technical Revolution on Transport
When discussing transport problems one would ask the question as to when Russia
will have magnetic levitation lines. Here is my answer: when the country will find it
impossible to live without them. Let us recall the national history of successful andunsuccessful technical transport revolutions.
In the vast territory of Russia, the animal-powered transport used to dominate. In
1830s, the ground transportation was occupied by approximately 800 thousand people insummer and 3 million people in winter.
Peter I drastically changed the transport policy of the Empire to the benefit ofwaterways. However, the expanding urban population and booming industry could not besatisfied by low speed and insufficient amount of transported goods. By the country’s bestroad between Moscow and Saint Petersburg the Emperor, who liked travelling fast, covered
this distance for three days. It would take two water seasons for provision from the Volgaarea governorates to “travel” to the capital.
The first technical revolution in Russia, including the construction of SaintPetersburg – Moscow Railway Line, was determined by two key circumstances: transport of that time was becoming the major brake on the Empire’s economy andtrade development; the state officials failed to understand the role of transport for the Empire’s
development, the government was against the construction of railways.
By forceful decision of Emperor Nicholas I, his famous resolution “So be it” putdown in the railway layout, the mechanism of transport revolution was started. The decisionof the Emperor was brilliantly fulfilled by Russian engineers headed by the Institute of theTransport Engineers Corps’ alumnus Pavel Melnikov. It needs to be underlined that theengineers who made it possible to create the best railway track of the time were the alumniof one and the same Institute: of 72 specialists, there was only one American consultant. In
the world hierarchy, Russia took the sixth place among the world technically initiatedcountries.
Another round of revolutionary progress was connected with the construction of theTrans-Siberian Railway. Again, the decision was made by the Emperor’s will, this time
Alexander III, when the threat to lose Siberia and the Far East became vivid. Prince Mikhail
Khilkov, the Minister of Communications of the Russian Empire (1895–1905), who worked
his way up from metalworker, stoker, motorman, builder and manager of a number ofrailways in Russia, thoroughly new his job and brilliantly coped with this most complicatedtask.
After taking power, the Bolsheviks made preparations for the country’s transition toanother technological level – the GOELRO plan, or the State Commission forElectrification of Russia. Special attention in the plan was paid to technical revolution ontransport: transition to new types of traction, electrification of 5 thousand kilometres of themost complicated railway sections. Unfortunately, the plan was not completed within thescheduled period, with one of the reasons being the position of the Minister ofCommunications Lazar Kaganovich1 saying “We will ride to Communism on
locomotives!”. This time technical revolution did not succeed.
By mid 1950s, the USSR railway transport “ate” half of the extracted coal. It all wascoming to a situation when millions of people in hazardous and dangerous industries would
have had to work for locomotive furnaces with less than five per cent efficiency. In 1955,
the government adopted a 20-year-old railway modernisation plan, the main part of which
was transition to electric and diesel traction. Supervised by the Minister of Communicationsof the USSR Boris Beshchev2, the plan was brilliantly implemented. The railways in the
USSR became the most efficient ones. Owing to intelligence, expertise, and will of thenational scientists, engineers and workers, the technical revolution on “top" finally took
place, preventing stagnation and lagging behind the world progress3.
By mid 1960s, the most developed countries entered the competition for increase of
speed on the most sought after mode of ground transportation – the railway transport.
Approximately at the same time, Russia, Germany, France, and Japan were creating rollingstock (locomotives, carriages) capable of travelling at 200 km/h and higher. At the edge of
1980-90s, the country’s administration adopted a plan which included construction of highspeed mainlines LeningradMoscow and MoscowKrasnodarSochi, Simferopol. It wasalso envisaged that magnetic levitation passenger lines should also be constructed asabsolutely ecologically clean mode of transport for urban areas. Let me remind you that on
launching the railway line between Moscow and Saint Petersburg in 1851, Russia was thesixth country in the world at the cutting edge of the technological progress. In 1980s, we
could have been among the three countries having innovative technologies for high-speed
and magnetic levitation transport.
Today, 26 countries are operating high-speed railway, three countries have masteredcommercial operation of magnetic levitation. Russia has neither. This tremendous lagging
behind is explained by the biggest social catastrophe of XX century – the dissolution of the
USSR. During transition from Socialism to Capitalism, neither an innovator state leader nor
a stoker minister was available to make another technical revolution on transport possible
since their places had been taken by those managing financial flows.
Now again, we are coming to a moment when the technical revolution should bemade on “top”. Let us just think about these data: every year, one million tonnes of rail lines are discarded to scrapyards;
 every year, the industry has to supply on million tonnes of railway wheels; there is a shortage of machine tools for facing of damaged and worn rolling surfacesof railway wheels in workshops.

In 1920–30s, the scientists, engineers and workers designed and brought to manufacture stage the homegrown electric locomotives, electric trains and power supply systems. The practice of using them in pre-war and postwar time on Kirov Railway (the Murmanka railway) proved reliability of the transport in the conditions of severe
climate of the Arctic region, complicated profile on routes Kandalaksha-Kirovsk and Kandalaksha-Murmansk.

The problems are increasing together with the number of bottlenecks caused by wearof artificial structures and railway track subgrades (collapse and pollution of railway track).
In these conditions, counting on wheel-rail technology, which has already exhausted itself,
when constructing high-speed lines, would prove economically and environmentallyinefficient. There is just no point in counting on it. There is the way to solve all this – toestablish transport corridors “East-West” and ”North-South” in the territory of Russia by
virtue of magnetic levitation technology with traction linear motor.
Please note that this technology does not require any rails, wheels or clumsy
catenary, and service during the life cycle. Russia has got all chances to take charge of theworld technical revolution to create ecologically immaculate general intercontinental highspeed ground transport system. For business and investors, the unprecedented opportunities
are being opened to obtain surplus income in the growing transportation market.

Welcome Message from Prof. Dr. Hiroyuki Ohsaki
On behalf of the International Steering Committee, I sincerely welcome you to the
MAGLEV 2018 conference in St. Petersburg, Russian Federation. Since the first MAGLEV
conference in Boston, USA in 1977, the 23 MAGLEV conferences were held in North andSouth America, Asia and Europe. In the 21st century the conferences were held in
Switzerland, China, Germany, USA, Korea, and Brazil. This is the 24rd MAGLEV
conference and the first conference held in the Russian Federation.
The MAGLEV conference will provide a unique opportunity for engineers,
researchers, and those involved in railway industry, transportation planning and urban
design to meet and exchange the latest information on maglev and linear drive technologies.
With fruitful exchange of the information, I believe the conference could contribute a lot toimprovement of operational characteristics and practical realization of new systems.
The MAGLEV 2018 conference will be held in St. Petersburg at the Emperor
Alexander I St. Petersburg State Transport University. I would be very happy to have you
enjoy the conference and the stay in St. Petersburg.

Chair of the International Steering Committee of MAGLEV 2018

Welcome Message from Prof. Dr. Johannes Kluehspies
The 24th international MAGLEV Conference 2018 in St. Petersburg is concernedwith technological research and development of linear motors and levitation systems plus all
those transportation and energy solutions, especially innovative ones, that could makeeveryday life easier and transport function smarter.
Until today, it is still unclear to most decision makers and even to many experts what
impact Maglev and linear motors could have on society and industry, and how they could
contribute to meaningful objectives in transport. There is an obvious need for information
on international trends in the application of Maglev transport technologies.
Therefore, with the aim of tracking current trends in the market perspectives ofmagnetic levitation, or maglev technologies, the non-profit International Maglev Board
conducted a primary study in the spring of 2018 among maglev specialists andtransportation professionals. The study examines the acceptance and prospects of maglev
systems in the transport sector. The suitability of maglev systems in comparison withconventional wheel-rail systems is considered and differentiated according to different
fields of application. Overall, a picture of the future suitability of maglev systems isdeveloped. More than a thousand professionals took part in this scientific survey. The
results will be published for the first time at the Maglev2018 conference.
MAGLEV conferences show the application of new technologies, their potentials,
and their benefits. The conferences encourage differences of opinion on the specific systems
and their respective impacts on technology development, society and environment,
especially as these issues form the basic components of a constructive, critical discussion.
It is the very first time that the Maglev conference will be held in the RussianFederation. The International Maglev Board would like to thank the Emperor Alexander I
St. Petersburg State Transport University for the great commitment in the preparation forthe conference.
We look forward to exciting presentations, numerous discussions and a great time
together in St. Petersburg.

Johannes Kluehspies
President of the International Maglev Board
