Hui Zeng

Abstract

The linear induction motor (LIM) wheel-rail system is regarded as an advanced mode of resource-saving urban rail transit forthe advantages of low cost and great line applicability. It analyses the technical characteristics and performance of LIM metro vehicle's bogie,traction and brake in Japan and Canada. The economy and applicability of LIM in urban rail transit are discussed.
