Because the electro magnets are unstable, they have to be controlled. Since 2002 the worldwide first commercial use of such a high speed train based on German technology is running successfully in Shanghai Pudong Airport, P.R.China. In this paper modeling of the high speed MAGLEV train Transrapid is discussed, which considered the whole mechanical system of one vehicle with optimized suspension parameters and all controlled electro magnet pairs in vertical and lateral directions. The dynamical simulation code is generated with MATLAB/SIMILINK. For the design of the control system, the optimal Linear Quadratic Control for minimum control energy is used for each single electro magnet. The simulation results are presented with the given vertical and lateral random track irregularities. The research work was carried out together with Prof. Shen Gang, Ph.D. during the time Prof. Dr. Meisinger was visiting professor in Shanghai 2006 and Prof. Shu Guangwei, M.Sc. was visiting professor in Nuremberg 2007.

It is expected to eliminate the phenomenon of the vehicle-guideway coupling vibration caused by the hypothesis of a rigid guideway, which usually happens in the current high-speed MAGLEV line, and reduce the over dependence of system stability on the guideway properties. A test rig for the elastic guideway levitation system was founded and the effectiveness of the new observer-controller was verified.
