Modeling and Design of the Speed and Location System for Low Speed Maglev Vehicle

This paper firstly discusses the theory of speed and location detection based on the inductive looped-cable, then analyses and simulates the magnetic model of inductive looped-cable and receiving antenna, and the effect of parameters such as dimension and height is given. According to the comparison results of several solutions, the structure of inductive looped-cable and antenna is recommended. This designed inductive looped-cable system was finally tested by experiments taken on the maglev track. The result shows that the designed speed and location system could play a good effect and has a good engineering prospect.
