The paper describes a sensor optimisation systematic framework approach and a Fault Tolerant control scheme for sensor failures applied to an EMS maglev system. The aim is to find the minimum number of sensors that can be used in order to optimise the performance, reduce complexity and offer sensor fault tolerance. The concept is verified via simulations with the non-linear model of an EMS system.

This work presents the design of continuous and discontinuous output regulators for a magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) system, for asymptotic output trajectory tracking and disturbance rejection. The nonlinear full information case is considered for both regulators. Then by numerical simulations one compares the performance of both control strategies, under criteria as transient response, steady-st...

Auxiliary stopping area (ASA) is the necessary emergency facility for train safety of normal high-speed maglev. The study addresses ASA layout problem maglev operated bidirectionally on single track. First, an optimization model unidirectional double-track lines considering safety, operation efficiency, and construction cost established, two basic methods are investigated based distance demand ...
