III. CONCLUSION
In this paper, dynamic modeling and speed characteristic analysis have been performed for predicting the operating characteristics of magnetic levitation vehicles with LIMs. To derive the equivalent circuit parameters, electromagnetic field analysis was applied, and the results were validated by FEM. In addition, from the simulation results, the maximum load conditions and minimum acceleration times to guarantee the passengers’ safety were determined. In particular, the simulation and experimental results were shown to be similar, and the prediction procedure was validated. We believe that our proposed operating procedure can make significant contributions to achieving safety and reliability in vehicles and be the basis of related researches.
