MATHEMATICAL MODELING AND CONTROL SYSTEM DESIGN OF MAGLEV VEHICLES. CONFERENCE ON DYNAMICS OF HIGH-SPEED VEHICLES HELD IN UDINE, ITALY, 1981

Magnetically levitated vehicles are under development for applications in rapid transit systems in highly populated areas as well as for high speed transportation over large distances. The feasibility of electromagnetic guidance and control, particularly for high speed operations in connection with the use of linear induction motors for propulsion, has been shown by various test-vehicle runs.
