Abstract

A passive guideway linear inductor motor MAGLEV research vehicle intended primarily for urban transportation applications is presented. Solutions for magnetic levitation and propulsion control together with the main sensors (airgap, acceleration, and position) are described. Preliminary field tests on a 4-t 4-m-long research vehicle, named Magnibus-01, are given. Vehicle take-off and landing, response to perturbations in levitation, vehicle acceleration, and electrical braking at low speeds were recorded and are presented
