In this work, the characteristics and the improving method of train performance of Korean rubber-tired AGT system(K-AGT) and Urban MAGLEV system are evaluated by using Train Performance Simulation(TPS). The train performance characteristics of K-AGT were analysed according to the change of maximum running speed and those of Urban MAGLEV were evaluated according to a vehicle weight variation. In the result of simulation in virtual line, the scheduled speed and the running time of K-AGT system have no difference with Urban MAGLEV system if the maximum running speed is equal. But the energy consumption of Urban MAGLEV system is more than that of K-AGT system. The analyses showed that in case of a 20 percent vehicle weight reduction of Urban MAGLEV system, the energy consumption per person is similar with the K-AGT system. The Urban MAGLEV system is more efficient in long travel distance condition than in short running distance condition in the aspect of train performance.

To investigate the adequacy of maglev train system to future urban transport environments, first we derived minimum necessity requirements of the new-transit system by analyzing the issues in the urban transit management and new needs of transportation customers. Then the conformity of Maglev train to the requirements was examined. With respect to this adequacy analysis, policy directions and agenda of the making practical use of urban transit Maglev system' is proposed.

The light-rail system which is recently being built in Korea is a train control system based on driverless operation, and the train control system for urban maglev train under construction at the moment in Youngjong-Do, Incheon is pushed ahead based on driverless operation. In this paper, it compares train operation cases with manned operation and unmanned operation to examine system requirements for unmanned driving on train and detects system requirements of automatic train operation device for unmanned operation by analyzing unmanned operation cases which are currently operating or planed project and also introduces automatic train operation of urban maglev train and verifies whether the system for unmanned driving meets the requirements.

Through Korean Urban Maglev Program started in 2006, an urban maglev train was developed and the demonstration line is under construction as of now in 2011. The target speed of the developed maglev train is 110km/h, and the core technologies for super speed maglev trains over 500km/h are being studied. The propulsion and levitation systems of the super speed maglev train under consideration consist of linear synchronous motors (LSM) and levitation electromagnets which also act as a mover of LSM. In addition, guidance electromagnets are used to ensure stable running on curved tracks during super speed operation. The levitation and guidance control is focused on in this paper. For experimental purpose, a small maglev train is being manufactured, and its levitation and guidance controller is studied. The main task of the controller is to maintain the gap between the corresponding electromagnet and the guideway constantly. In general, measurements of the gap, acceleration and current and so on are utilized, and the gap control is implemented independently for each electromagnet. In this paper, the levitation and guidance system is modelled considering mechanical interactions, and the levitation and guidance controller is proposed based on this model. The developed controller is verified by various simulations using MATLAB/Simulink.

The systems engineering (SE) process shall be applied to the project for successful development of ultra-high-speed (UHS) Maglev train system which is one of very large and complex systems. It is important to abolish technology differentials from the advanced developers such as Germany, Japan, etc. and to ensure discriminatory competitiveness of the application of systems engineering process for the development of the system based on appropriate concepts and requirements. General operation concept and stakeholder's requirements of UHS Maglev train system must be elicited with system concept for initiating the project. The management plan should be devised for all sorts of systems engineering activities of risk management, performance management, lifecycle cost management, etc. This paper would support to establish the systems engineering management plan (SEMP) for the program of UHS Maglev train system development with associated documents.

The Maglev Train System in Korea has been developed as a type of Light Rail Transit systems meanwhile. LRT systems which is a type of Urban Railway System, has been standardizing and some of them are prescribed but the Maglev System is not in the law Along with planning the Urban Maglev Train Commercialization Project in recent time additionally, we reviewed the contents of the laws for the commercialization of the system, and emerged the way to revise the relative laws.

To develop the most effect maintenance system of urban MAGLEV train which is being developed based on system engineering, logistics belong to special system engineering were applied to maintenance system and Integrated Logistic Supports (ILS) were employed to tailor every step of MAGLEV project. Since ILS had not been applied to domestic train project, the followings were studied to validate ILS: 1) case studies on maintenance procedures at home and abroad, 2) overview of standardized process of ILS, 3) Comparison and analysis of relationship between RAMS and ILS, 4) Application of ILS to MAGLEV maintenance system and other domestic train system.

From the past, maglev technique study(mainly for transportation like maglev) has been done. In the domestic, urban maglev train is practical steps now. High-speed maglev train(550km/h) development comes complete, followed by Japan. This year, system of High-speed maglev train(550km/h) is expected to be verified. This paper simulate FEM model for EMS(Electro-Magnetic Suspension) maglev system and verify tendency of reducing disturbance.

This paper presents the performance and test results of propulsion system which is met the requirements of urban MAGLEV. The design of propulsion system should be considered the effect of attractive force by the magnetic levitation and train running resistance. In this paper, the tractive and braking thrust are calculated and the train performance is simulated for the service track. Finally the test results of complete car are shown to verify the performance.
