Abstract :
This paper proposes a new concept of mass-reduction and propulsion control for container transportation, which is based on the theory of combined levitation-and-propulsion control. The permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PM LSM) test vehicle is propelled simultaneously, together with controlling successfully the equivalent vehicle-weight reduced by about 85%
