Description
Unleash the power of Tesla.

Transrapid is a German developed high-speed monorail train using magnetic levitation. Planning for the Transrapid system started in 1969 with a test facility for the system in Emsland, Germany completed in 1987. In 1991, technical readiness for application was approved by the Deutsche Bundesbahn in cooperation with renowned universities.

The current application-ready version, the Transrapid 09, is designed for a cruising speed of 500 km/h (311 mph) and allows acceleration and deceleration of approximately 1 m/s2 (2.24 mi/min2)

Technical Details

  • High Speed Monorail Tracks
  • Maximum operating speed: 500kmph (not the speed of maglevs)
  • Diffuse, normal and spec maps
  • Same vertice count as default monorail, optimized
  • Slope tolerance and turn radius is increased
  • Custom pillar with 30m max height
  • Compatible with existing monorail stations
  • REDUCED noice pollution, since MAGLEV do not have any mechanical parts

Usage
  • You are more constrained in terms of slope and curve tolerances since train operates on high speed. This is my first (and Workshop's second fully custom road type) so there might be minor bugs, report them here if i can fix it.
  • Flickering might occur on intesections with multiple MAGLEV tracks. This is due to the fact that tracks are wider than usual.
  • If you want to see MAGLEV's operate on full speed, use Advanced Vehicle Editor and increase acceleration and brake to 5, set speed to 450.

In the real world, the Transrapid reaches it's cruising speed of 430km/h just shy after 6000m. Even if flying at zero altitude above the guideway with 500km/h Transrapid needs only about 5400m come to a full stop. Compared to the TGV, Shinkansen or the ICE, the Transrapid uses 40% less energy and has 70% less operating costs, since the train has no moving parts. This way the train consumes even less energy.

Fun Fact:
The Transrapid has no motor on board. And so the driver actually controls, the Track that pusshes the train forward. Only the Track segement where the Transrapid is flying at zero altitude is set to active.

Is it possible to have single rail version of this track?

This asset and the station tracks have bloated LOD mesh.

Ok

1- Stack piers upwards with move it and building anarchy
2- Station tracks are already made and released and station is made by emperor li
3- No, game breaks on higher speeds

Update:
Can the model of the bridge pier be made higher?
Is it compatible with the station?
Can it be faster

Fantastic assets, I really slept on monorail stuff for a long time. Working on a city more suited to these than metro at the moment!

Any chance of one-way versions of this + the station tracks? That'd make these flawless for modular station building

you can use road anarchy instead, collision must be there so network wont disappear when zoomed in from ground level

I love this asset very much...one thing that would make it better though, is if streets could go under it when the track is at station elevation. it would be great if you could update it to do so. I will still be using this even if you dont update it. Thank you for this asset.

@REV0 my TMPE no this.
