- Abstract
A magnetically levitated (MAGLEV) train is the future of rapid ground transport. They are much faster, energy efficient; require very less maintenance and pollution free. The present study outlines an approach for the modelling and simulation of MAGLEV vehicle-guideway in a block diagram environment and thereafter optimizes the suspension parameters for increased ride comfort. This has been accomplished with the help of SIMULINK which provides a graphical editor, customizable block libraries and solvers. The guideway has been modelled as a two-span continuous beam. The guideway surface roughness was defined by power spectral density function. The influence of vehicle speed and surface roughness on the vehicle-guideway response has been studied. Use of optimized suspension parameters indicated 60 % reduction in car-body vertical acceleration, whereas the guideway maximum deflection showed a fall of 25 %.
