A Review of Suspension and Traction Technologies in Maglev Trains

Reza Nasiri‐Zarandi, Arsalan Hekmati

Open publisher page 15 citations

Abstract

One the promising types of railway transportation systems are Magnetically Levitated trains or Maglevs. These trains, unlike normal trains instead of using friction between rail and wheels, use electromagnetic force to levitate train over the rails and also move it along the rail. In this paper different types of suspension and Traction designs and control techniques which are applied to Maglev trains, are discussed and compared with each other.
