Vehicle Longitudinal Control and Reliability Project. A Review of AGT Propulsion,Power Conditioning,Braking and Power Distribution Technology.

摘要

The report assesses the current state of the art of each technology. The review was performed to obtain top level information that can be used by system designers,specification writers,and regional planners as baseline considerations. The main sections of this report are:Section 2discusses propulsion motor technology. It concludes information on both dc and ac motors;Section 3discusses power conditioning options for converting guideway power to a suitable form for the motor being used;Section 4presents the findings on electrical and mechanical braking;and Section 5sets forth some power distribution and collection considerations.
