Analysis and design in safeties and reliabilities of the suspension system of maglev train

As to the high safety and reliability of the magnetic suspension train, the most fundamental rule is that under all supposed running disturbances, faults, and other urgent conditions, and whenever, the running train can stop at any given point, where all the passengers can get off the train completely and can find a safe stopping place. The object studied in this paper is the CMS-3 type electromagnetic suspension sample train developed in the National University of Defense Technology. The safety and the reliability of the key parts (the suspension system) of the train are analyzed systematically and the instructive viewpoints and the improving measures are put forward.
