Reduction of Vibrations in Maglev Vehicles Using Active Primary and Secondary Suspension Control

In the superconducting magnetically levitated transport (Maglev) system, the vehicles travel at high speeds of over 500 km/h and have car bodies that are light in weight, resulting in vibrations that affect the ride comfort. Vibration reduction methods discussed in this report include prior examinations of superconducting magnets resiliently mounted...
