  ABSTRACT: The high speed maglev is mainly characterized by propulsion using linear synchronous motor (LSM) and vehicle levitation from the guideway surface. In LSM propulsion control, the position detection sensor is used to detect running vehicle position for synchronized current generation. To maintain the stable levitating condition during vehicle running, the irregularity of guideway surface should be monitored by sensors measuring the displacement and acceleration between vehicle and guideway. In this study, the application methods of these sensors in the high speed maglev are investigated and through the experiments by using the small-scale test bed, the validity of examined methods is confirmed.
