A series of linear induction motor research vehicle (LIMRV) runs were conducted at the High Speed Ground Test Center on the 6.2-mile test track. These runs were made primarily to evaluate the dynamic performance of the vehicle at speeds up to the maximum achieved, 187.9 mph. The vehicle was equipped with instrumentation that measured accelerations and displacements. Of particular interest were the motion of the trucks and suspension, and the LIM guidance system. The initial truck dynamics data evaluation indicates an increase in conicity resulting from a narrow band of wheel treadwear. Since the next series of tests will be conducted with new wheels, the problem at least initially will not be significant. Other tests run during this program provided acceleration and braking profiles. Also, some LIM electrical performance data was recorded and evaluated. (Author)
