High speed maglev is one of the most important reformations in the ground transportation systems because of its no physical contact nature. This paper intends to study the dynamic response of the single-span guideway induced by moving maglev train. The dynamic model of the maglev train-guideway system is established. In this model, a maglev train consists of three vehicles and each vehicle is r...

During recent years, the medium-low speed maglev system brings new chances for the development of maglev train related techniques, and traditional operation and control standards have been applied in its signal system design. However, as there are no wheel sets on maglev train, the positioning function cannot be realized by the corresponding method in wheel-rail based urban rail transit. Many r...

Research on Maglev (Magnetic Levitation) train is currently being conducted in Korea, concerning Urban Transit (110 km/h of maximum speed), semi-high-speed (200 km/h of maximum speed), and high-speed (550 km/h of maximum speed) trains. This paper presents a research study on the levitation and guidance systems for the Korean semi-high-speed maglev train. A levitation electromagnet was designed,...

High-speed maglev train is considered an ideal vehicle in the 21st Century, as an important part of the train, the travel mechanism bears and delivers a variety of vertical and horizontal alternating load in operation, it affects the operation safety of the train directly, so key components of the travel mechanism should under fatigue strength test by fatigue test machine.The paper proposed a v...

This paper studies an absolute positioning sensor for a high-speed maglev train and its fault diagnosis method. The absolute positioning sensor is an important sensor for the high-speed maglev train to accomplish its synchronous traction. It is used to calibrate the error of the relative positioning sensor which is used to provide the magnetic phase signal. On the basis of the analysis for the ...

High-speed maglev trains offer competitive journey-times to automobile and air transport in markets of 60–1000 miles but they have potentially adverse noise impacts. This paper considers the noise characteristics of the Shanghai Maglev Train on residents within 300 m to the track. It shows that the system is about 4–8 dBA quieter than other high-speed systems at comparable speeds with their gui...

This paper proposes one new type of speed measurement sensor using difference structure to solve the problem of measurement errors resulted by the vibration of low-speed urban maglev train. By the design of the detection coils and the signal detection circuits, the sensor could fulfills the requirements of rapid and accurate detection. The experiment results show that the speed measurement sens...

The MAGLEV Transrapid is a kind of new type high speed train in the world which is levitated and guided over the track using electro magnetic forces. Because the electro magnets are unstable, they have to be controlled. Since 2002 the worldwide first commercial use of such a high speed train based on German technology is running successfully in Shanghai Pudong Airport, P.R.China. In this paper ...

The control and diagnosis networks in Maglev Train are the most important parts. In the paper, the control and diagnosis network structures are discussed, and the disadvantages of them are described and analyzed. In virtue of role automation decentralized system (RoADS), some basic ideas of RoADS are applied in new network. The structure, component parts and application of new network are propo...
