A Study of the Electromagnetic and Electrodynamic Suspension System of MAGLEV Train: Nonlinear Dynamic Structure

A magnetically levitated vehicle (MAGLEV) is known as a brilliant choice for safety, comfort, and sustainability. Therefore, many developed countries have tended to integrate this type of train into their railway transportation system in order to supply fast, safety and comfortable public transportation demands. This article has discussed maglev train system in comparison with classical wheel-on-rail systems. Also, this research mainly discusess the calculation of magnetic levitation, electromagnetic suspension (EMS), electrodynamic suspension (EDS), high-temperature superconducting (HTS) suspension, propulsion and guideway. MATLAB/Simulink was used to achieve the mathematical model of maglev train dynamics by proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. The major results of the article are mainly to solve discussions about better performance of the magnetic levitation. Also, the current challenges and future opportunities of PID controller have been elaborately presented by making performance assessment. The article aims to provide a theoretical and experimental acknowledges and findings to get better levitation analysis of the maglev train system.
