The performance of large MAGLEV vehicles for high speed passenger transport is determined by the vehicle mechanical structure, the guideway eigenfrequencies and tolerances and the magnetic guidance and levitation control system. Based on design experience and test results from three different types of test vehicles various control concepts are compared in the paper and evaluated with regard to overall performance and restrictions to be imposed on subsystems. An optimum solution for the mechanical structure as well as for the control configuration is derived, which is characterized by modularisationof the vehicle into cabin, magnet frames and elastically suspended magnets and decentralisationof the control systems into single magnet controllers. |
