In MAGLEV system, the train detection can be achieved by using cross inductive radio lines and antennas, because it is impossible to obtain the short circuit between rail and iron-wheel. In this paper, the experimental results of speed profile which is held on MAGLEV at KIMM are presented. We could obtain the successful experimental results for the speed pulses by the inductive radio lines.

This paper deals with the signal communication system for MAGLEV which is indispensible to train control with safety and high speed operation. Therefore it is necessary for signal system to ensure high speed transmission. massive transmission, low error rate, and reliability of information. And the ensured information should be transmitted between ground and on-board for safety and high speed operation. For these reasons, we have considered the guaranteed reliability by applying FSK method and HDLC protocol. Because HDLC has the advantages of high efficiency, high reliability, low bit rate, and bit transparency. HDLC is the appropriate method for data transmission in MAGLEV.

Static tests on the performance of the electromagnets of the electromagnetic maglev vehicle were conducted. Performance of the magnets wound with the alumimum sheet were tested and compared with that of the magnets constructed with aluminum coils of rectangular cross section. It turns out that with the use of the aluminum sheet we can improve the lifting force per magnet by 19.5% and thereby make electromagnets lighter than those made with the aluminum coils of rectangular cross section.

It is known that Feedback linearization has important limitations-the full state has to be measured; no robustness is guaranteed with respect to parameter uncertainty and unmodeled dynamics. In this paper, we construct a nonlinear feedback linearization controller for the system containing uncertain parameters and unknown states, in the case of EMS system with rail vibration. Performance of this controller is demonstrated by computer simulation.

The implementation of Nonlinear Feedback Linearization control for Electro-Magnetic Suspension system is presented. The controller using TMS320C31 DSP chip was proposed and the experiments were performed Control law for EMS system using feedback linearization is derived and implemented in the DSP. Some tests were constructed far experimental comparison between feedback linearization and classical state feedback The experimental results demonstrate that the feedback linearization controller shows bettor performance than that of the classical state feedback controller and it is robust with respect to disturbance and parameter variation, though some steady-state errors appear.

One maglev vehicle is composed of 6 or 8 modules. Each module is composed of 4 staggered magnets attached to an aluminum bogie. In the view point of levitation control except propulsion-by LIM. 5 is the maximum degree of freedom to be controlled. But rolling control of the vhhicle depends on the bogie structure. We describe just anti-roll type bogie structure and 4 degree of freedom control is sufficient for levitation quality improvement. Multivariable pole-placement concept is used for controller design. Control experiment is performed on a specially designed test module as well as actual bogie system.

In this paper, a fault tolerant control problem is considered for a class of nonlinear system formulated in a gain scheduling form with LMI-based H-inf control technique Key benefits of this proposed scheme are demonstrated in the simulation of an electromagnetic suspension system with actuator and/or sensor failures, and the method is compared with the convensional state-feedback and output-feedback controller. It is clearly observed that the proposed control scheme shows an improved output performance in comparision with convensional methods.

This paper deals with design and thrust force measurement of EMS type LSM for propulsion of the high-speed maglev train. The load of maglev train is calculated, and the design equations of the LSM are presented, and the LSM which is suitable for the operation of short-distance test track is designed. In addition, the finite element analysis is performed to confirm the back-EMF and thrust force characteristics of the LSM designed model. A short length LSM prototype model is manufactured. Finally, the thrust force of the LSM is measured by the method applying dc current to the stator winding instead of three-phase ac current. And the validity of the design and analysis is verified by this measurement.

The disturbance observer (DOB) controller has been widely used in various industrial applications since it is capable of achieving robust stability and disturbance rejection. In this paper, we study the effect of Q-filter on disturbance observer controller for Electro-Magnetic suspension (EMS) systems. We consider three Q-filters and analyze their effects on the robust stability against parameter uncertainties due to mass variation. Moreover, we investigate the influence of sensor noise for three Q-filters. According to our study, robust stability improves as the order of Q-filter decreases. On the other hand, the larger the order of Q-filter, the more the effect of sensor noise can be removed.

Power conversion system for a magnetically levitated vehicle consists of propulsion inverter to drive linear motor, levitation chopper to drive magnet and power source unit. This paper presents the characteristics of power conversion system in prototype Maglev system. In order to improve performance of electrical equipment IGBT is adopted in a main circuit. Audible noise is reduced to below 60 dB and size is also reduced to 1/3. This system is verified through experiment.
