Abstract :
Methodology and results are presented for the numerical simulations and experimental measurements of an electrically based absolute position sensing system with a linear synchronous machine for a General Atomics´ developed Urban MagLev train. The results demonstrate the feasibility of using a novel method to provide absolute position sensing of a shuttle along a track and the system provides robust performance without sensitivity to shuttle vibrations, vertical displacement and common mode electrical noise.
