A novel absolute positioning sensor for high-speed maglev train based on eddy current effect is studied in this paper. The sensor is designed with photoelectric switch and four groups of unilateral coplanar code-reading detection coil combination. The photoelectric switch realizes the positioning of the marker plate, and the four groups of detection coils read the mileage code of the mileage sign plate to obtain the absolute mileage information of the vehicle, which effectively reduces the quality and volume of the sensor, and reduces the impact of ice and snow. At the same time, the code-reading reliability and speed adaptability index are proposed. The code-reading reliability of the sensor is analyzed and tested under the fluctuation of levitation guidance, and the positioning error under the speed range of 0–600 km/h is calculated and analyzed. The results show that the novel sensor has the advantages of simple and compact structure. It still satisfies the system’s requirements for absolute vehicle mileage information under the conditions of vehicle operating attitude fluctuations and changes in the full operating speed range.

Aim: To reduce the levitation energy consumption and alleviate the adverse effects caused by the over-heating of the electromagnet. Methods: The design and manufacturing of hybrid electromagnet are introduced firstly. Secondly, the modification of driving chopper module together with a levitation control strategy and the design of an adsorption-prevention module are presented in details. Thirdly, a complete two-carriage maglev train is upgraded with the proposed hybrid electromagnet, choppers, and adsorption modules. Finally, an experiment is performed on a 1.5 km high-speed maglev test line to prove the efficiency of the proposed system. Results: In this paper, a novel electromagnetic levitation system architecture and safety protection strategy for the high-speed maglev train are proposed. Conclusion: A novel design of electromagnetic levitation system for high-speed maglev train is designed and implemented.

The Sichuan-Tibet Railway is an east-west rapid plateau railway under construction from Chengdu to Lhasa. One of its most remarkable features is the high altitude and notable altitude fluctuations. High altitudes will result in low atmospheric pressures and temperatures. The freezing caused by low temperatures will lead to low wheel-rail adhesions. Altitude fluctuations will generate complex spatial railway tracks. To investigate the braking performance of a train in such a complex braking environment, a train spatial dynamics model, a model of a direct pneumatic brake system and a model of a braking control strategy are constructed. A comprehensive analysis model for investigating the braking performance of high-speed trains in a complex braking environment is proposed based on the constructed train spatial dynamics model, direct pneumatic brake system model and braking control strategy model. A simulation computation platform for train braking performance analysis on the Sichuan-Tibet Railway is established based on SIMPACK, AMESim, Simulink and their interfaces. The braking performance under the different altitudes, different spatial railway tracks and low adhesions are analysed in detail and summarized. Computation time are compared in different altitudes and track conditions. Computational efficiencies of the dynamic model with multi-thread parallel computation are discussed. The results indicate that an increasing altitude and the alteration of railway track conditions have a remarkable influence on the braking distance, brake cylinder pressure, instantaneous deceleration, maximum wheel-load reduction rates and maximum longitudinal impact forces of high-speed trains. The track conditions in the dynamic model have a greater impact on the computation speed. Compared to single-thread parallel computation, the computational efficiency using 2-thread parallel computation can be promoted by 22.97%. These results will provide a reference for the Sichuan-Tibet Railway design and the optimization of train braking systems.

In order to improve braking stability and energy recovery ability of electric buses, a new-type electronic-controlled pneumatic regenerative braking system for electric buses was designed. The regenerative braking system controls pneumatic braking force of front and rear wheels by high-speed solenoid valves, which could coordinate mechanical and regenerative braking force effectively. A simulation model of electric bus braking process was established, as well as regenerative braking control strategy. Simulink and AMESim joint simulation analysis of braking process of electric bus was run. The results show that energy recovery of the new-type regenerative braking system is effective and braking control strategy is reasonable.

In this study, we propose a non-contact 80 kW, 60,000 rpm coaxial magnetic gear (CMG) model for high speed and high power applications. Two models with the same power but different radial and axial sizes were optimized using response surface methodology. Both models employed a Halbach array to increase torque. Also, an edge fillet was applied to the radial magnetized permanent magnet to reduce torque ripple, and an axial gap was applied to the permanent magnet with a radial gap to reduce eddy current loss. The models were analyzed using 2-D and 3-D finite element analysis. The torque, torque ripple and eddy current loss were compared in both models according to the materials used, including Sm2Co17, NdFeBs (N42SH, N48SH). Also, the structural stability of the pole piece structure was investigated by forced vibration analysis. Critical speed results from rotordynamics analysis are also presented.
