Vehicle control device

Fixing holes are formed around an opening of a housing. Holding members are each inserted into a corresponding fixing hole and are fixed to the housing by swaging. Two or more holding members are each provided with a corresponding protrusion member. Fitting holes and first insertion holes are formed around a central opening of a packing and the protrusion members are each fitted into a corresponding fitting holes. The packing is attached to the housing by fitting each of the protrusion members into the corresponding fitting hole. Fastening members are each inserted through a corresponding first insertion hole and a corresponding second insertion hole formed in a cover and are inserted into and fixed to holding members other than the above-described two or more holding members, so that the cover is attached to the housing.

Hyperloop continuous control

A disclosed controller is configured with logic that, when executed, performs actions to extend landing gear of a maglev vehicle. The actions include receiving a height control target value and transitioning between a standby control state and an active control state. The controller maintains the landing gear in a fixed position when the controller is in the standby control state, and the controller controls extension and retraction of the landing gear according to the height control target value when the controller is in the active control state.
