Abstract :
The TRANSRAPID 06 II (TR06 II) vehicle prototype of the Transrapid application system is characterized by noncontacting electromagnetic support and guidance technology and a synchronous iron-cored long-stator motor for propulsion. A brief overview is presented of the TR06 II vehicle, linear motor, and guideway.
