Evaluation of New-type Medium-speed Maglev Train by Riding Comfort and Running Stability

Based on LMS Virtual. Lab, the dynamics simulation analysis of a medium-speed maglev train with mid-mounted linear motor was carried out to evaluate passenger riding comfort and running stability. Firstly the dynamics simulation model of medium-speed maglev train with mid-mounted linear motor was established, then two kinds of methods for assessing passenger riding comfort in relation to vibration in railway vehicles were introduced. The result shows that medium-speed maglev train meets the needs of passenger riding comfort and running stability.
