Simulation Analysis of Track Irregularity in High-Speed Maglev Systems Based on Universal Mechanism Software
Journal Title: Mechatronics and Intelligent Transportation Systems - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
As high-speed magnetic levitation (Maglev) technology continues to advance, the safety, stability, and passenger comfort of high-speed Maglev trains during operation are subject to increasingly stringent requirements. In this background, this study attempts to develop a stability simulation model for high-speed Maglev vehicles travelling at different speeds using the software Universal Mechanism (UM) and give a comprehensive analysis. High-speed Maglev trains are now an advanced mode of transportation, they possess many advantages including high safety, low emissions, low energy consumption, less noise, and stronger climbing capabilities. The safety, stability, and comfort level of high-speed Maglev trains are closely related to their operational speed and the irregularities of the tracks. This study takes the Shanghai TR08 Maglev train as the subject and models it in the UM to simulate and analyze the subject. With the help of this model, the responses given by the subject to track irregularities when it runs at different speeds are simulated, and the changes in stability metrics such as the Sperling Index are analyzed. After that, this study also investigates the relationship between operational speed, track irregularity, and stability, and the findings of this study could provide valuable insights for optimizing the design of high-speed Maglev trains and controlling of track irregularities.
