Abstract

This paper investigates the control and safety of a series of maglev trains moving on multi-span simply supported bridges with the foundation settlements. To control the dynamic response of the maglev trains, a PI (proportional-integral) controller with constant tuning gains is applied. The finite element results indicate that the influences of the rail irregularities are obvious. However, the allowable vertical settlement and the Y-deflection of the bridge, which is caused by the X-rotation can be significantly improved when the lateral electromagnetic force is enlarged.
