The report describes the tests performed on a full scale magnetically suspended vehicle using the Integrated Magnetic Propulsion and Suspension (IMPS) system. The IMPS uses the same Linear Induction Motor (LIM) to provide both suspension and propulsion forces and offers significant advantages compared to conventional technologies. The tests were performed on a 27.5 m (90 ft) long test track in a top suspended configuration. The tests consisted of the Lift and Thrust Mapping Test, the Far Field Flux survey Test and the Low Speed Dynamic Test. The test results indicate good correlation between predicted and actual performance. The tests also showed the ability of the system to provide the required lift and thrust to operate the full weight vehicle, to maintain proper air gap for operation and to have acceptable ride comfort. The tests also show that the magnetic flux is confined to the immediate vicinity of the motor. The potential for use as a public transportation system was clearly shown by the data collected, by observing the system operation and experience in the design and the handling of the vehicle.
