National individual floating transport infrastructure

A method of transferring a vehicle module over an infrastructure, comprising

• providing the infrastructure, wherein the infrastructure comprises
• at least one individual track, wherein the at least one individual track comprises at least one series of coils, wherein the at least one series of coils extend in the direction of a width of the at least one track, wherein each of the at least one series of coils is adapted to provide a levitational magnetic force and a horizontal magnetic force, wherein the horizontal magnetic force is directed along a length direction of the at least one track, wherein the at least one series of coils are placed at a distance from one another, wherein there is at least one switch per at least one series of coils, wherein each coil in the at least one series of coils can be individually energized by an electrical current and de-energized, wherein windings of each coil in the at least one series of coils are substantially parallel to a ground of the infrastructure, wherein each coil in the at least one series of coils can be energized in a pulsed mode, wherein a guider is provided on at least one side of the at least one track, wherein the guider comprises at least one guider section, wherein each at least one guider section can be individually energized, wherein the guider is adapted to control a motion of the vehicle module,
• a controller for individually energizing each coil in the at least one series of coils,
• an electrical power supply for providing an electrical current,
• providing the vehicle module, wherein the vehicle module comprises an array of permanent magnets,
• providing a vertical magnetic field in the at least one track at a first location of the vehicle module, thereby lifting the module,
• providing a first horizontal magnetic field in the at least one track at the first location of the vehicle module, thereby hovering the module at a certain speed in a horizontal direction over the at least one track and moving the vehicle to a second location,
• cancelling the first horizontal magnetic field and providing an opposite second horizontal magnetic field in the at least one track, thereby decelerating the module in the horizontal direction, and
• cancelling the vertical magnetic field in the at least one track thereby letting the module down to the at least one track.
