Field Tests and Analyses on Running Stability of Fenghuang Medium and Low Speed Maglev Train

Abstract

Multiple field tests were carried out on the Fenghuang medium and low speed maglev train. During the tests, the authors collected the vibration data of train carriage and suspension frames under no-load (AW0). Next, the stability of the maglev train under corresponding conditions was investigated, using indices like weighted RMS acceleration (ISO 2631) and Sperling index. Through the in-depth analyses, it was concluded that the maglev train runs smoothly, and the passengers on the train generally feel comfortable.
