Design and Implementation of Magnetic levitation Train System

Abstract

Classical trains are a series of vehicles moving on a specific track called”railways”. This type of train depends on the friction between the areas and rods in its path, which limits its speed and increases the need to maintain it continuously. In this research, the hybrid electromagnetic suspension system has been studied, which is based on magnetic force, where the train is used with electric and permanent magnets, the magnetic field lift the train of the rail, helping to move easily without frication. A Maglev train had been designed depending on repulsive magnetic force to levitate and aerodynamic force to move. After studying the system's components such as: DC motor, Neodymium magnets, microprocessors and Bluetooth. An Arduino C programming language had been used to write codes to remotely control the train. The microcontroller receives control signals from a Smartphone through electromagnetic waves and then interprets it and function accordingly. State space equations had been concluded for the electromagnetic of the magnetic levitation system. Matlab had been used to study the system's response and designing a controller to improve the system's stability. The new system's characteristics were seen to be very appealing because of the high stability range that had been produced.
