Magnetic levitation (Maglev) systems are widely employed in the industry especially mechatronics for precise positioning and suspension. They inherently unstable having nonlinear models with uncertain parameters exposed to external disturbances. Therefore, high-performance robust control designs recommended these systems. An Adaptive Variable Structure Controller based on barrier function (AVSC...

The problem of control and stabilizing inherently non-linear unstable magnetic levitation (Maglev) systems with uncertain equilibrium states has been studied. Accordingly, some significant works related to different approaches have highlighted provide robust enhance the performance Maglev system. This work examines a method stabilize system in presence disturbance parameter variations minimize ...

Swissmetro is a MAGLEV Project between the main cities of Switzerland, designed for a speed up to 500 [km/h] in two tunnels under partial vacuum. Two propulsion variants are considered: the short stators of the linear homopolar motors are fixed with the tunnel tracks; the stator of the motors is on board of the vehicles. The levitation, the guidance and the transfer of energy are independent. T...
