The Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) has been used recently for developers applied it to urban transit.The top speed is only half that of the Transrapid maglev trains now operating in China, but by using small vehicles with short headway and rapid acceleration it is possible to achieve outstanding performance at much lower cost. LSM is the enabling technology that makes it economically and technically feasible to achieve high capacity with short vehicles and, conversely, the use of small vehicles makes LSM propulsion economically attractive. Small vehicles operating with short headway and organized in clusters can achieve high capacity without offline loading. Very precise position sensing and guideway based propulsion and control make short headways safe and affordable. Calculations show that an LSM propelled transit system has lower capital cost than conventional transit systems, and users of the transit system experience major reductions in trip times. Our LAX design, perhaps 35%.
