IET Control Theory &Applications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.In high‐speed maglev trains, the active guidance system is responsible for centring the vehicle relative to the track, a function that becomes critical under centrifugal forces, crosswinds, and track irregularities. To address the limitations of existing control methods in multi‐disturbance environments, this paper proposes a gap‐loop active ...

Application and further development of Maglev transportation in China
Transportation Systems and Technology, 2018 Since the high-speed maglev line in Shanghai was put into operation in 2003, it has been running safely for 15 years, maintaining the highest speed of public ground traffic 430 km/h and 99.8~99.9% punctuality. Since 2001, China ministry of science and technology (MOST) has been supporting the research and development of high speed maglev transportation
