The implementation method of speed measurement and positioning technology for short stator maglev trains is different from traditional wheel rail systems. Currently, there are multiple technical methods available, but all require the installation of positioning and speed measurement equipment or systems on maglev trains, which are independent of the suspension control system. However, due to the fact that the suspension control system also has dependence on speed and position signals, an algorithm has been designed for speed measurement and positioning based on suspension gap, with the expected purpose of algorithm design achieved through simulation. Finally, the algorithm is embedded into the hardware platform of the maglev train’s suspension control system through programming, thus realizing the application of speed measurement and positioning algorithms, The speed measurement and positioning signals are fully integrated into the suspension control system, eliminating the dependence of the suspension control system on external speed measurement and positioning systems, and enhancing the competitiveness of maglev trains in the rail transit market.
