Suspension and guidance control system for the Maglev test vehicle (IM-EDYN-022)

BR's work on Maglev started with a comparative Minitram study-undertaken for the TRRL (1). The theory behind the control strategy which was proposed in that study has been described previously (2). The study included an experimental assessment of a two degree-of-freedom suspension system (heave and sway) which used this strategy.
