A solution is disclosed for state estimation and motion control for a hyperloop vehicle. The solution is configured to generate a state estimation of a hyperloop vehicle while in flight. The state estimation is generated, in part, by real-time sensor data obtained from a sensor system onboard the hyperloop vehicle. Based on the state estimation, a motion execution module is configured to generate a plurality of linearized commands for a plurality of power electronic units in order to control the position and/or orientation of the hyperloop vehicle. The disclosed solution provides for safe and efficient travel using hyperloop vehicles.

A voltage control method. A train traveling speed can be acquired; a target transformation ratio corresponding to the train traveling speed is determined according to correspondences between train traveling speeds and transformation ratios, the transformation ratio being a ratio of an input voltage to an output voltage; an input voltage is then transformed according to the target transformation ratio to obtain an output voltage, the output voltage being used for driving a train to travel. The correspondences between train traveling speeds and transformation ratios are obtained according to correspondences between train traveling speeds and train traction forces at different transformation ratios. By means of the method, the most suitable transformation ratio can be provided according to a traveling speed of a maglev train, thereby increasing the traction force of the maglev train and improving running efficiency.

A method and system for detecting and reporting component failures in a linear drive system may identify failed position sensors, failed position magnets, and failed drive coils in the linear drive system. As a mover travels along a track segment in the linear drive system, signals corresponding to the position of the mover and to the current commanded in each drive coil are stored. Analysis of the stored signals identifies whether one of the position sensors along the track segment, one of the position magnets on the movers, or one of the drive coils, used to propel the movers along the track, has failed.
