Dynamic Characteristics of Maglev Vehicle under Electromagnetic Guidance Control using Propulsion System

Abstract

In order to improve the characteristics of guidance for Maglev vehicles, an electromagnetic guidance control system is proposed, to add a current 90 degrees different in phase to the propulsion system. It enables Maglev vehicles to run at higher stability of guidance. We calculated the properties of Maglev vehicle dynamics in the levitated and wheel-supported running modes and found some advantages in the new guidance control system.
