Abstract :
To minimize possible undesired ecological effects along with manufacturing and utilization of technology and products, “sustainable development” is well suited as a vision for further development. The paper describes related procedures and instruments; results of a project, comparing wheel/rail with electromagnetic levitation technology for high-speed trains with special emphasis on resource efficiency, are showing the practicability of related tools
