Increasing interest in developing more efficient and lighter weight motors for transportation use stems from the advances made in power solid state devices, permanent magnet technology, and modern manufacturing processes. This report presents an overview of the current status of electric motors with potential applications in automated guideway transit (AGT) systems to be deployed in the 1990s. It is based on information and data gathered from electric machinery manufacturers, research organizations, and technical literature. This report surveys direct current (d.c.) motors, and reviews induction, synchronous, and linear electric motors. Performance characteristics of typical state-of-the-art d.c. an induction motors are provided. Current work on improved and advanced designs of rotary and linear motors are also reviewed. Some conclusions presented in this report state that: performance requirements of existing AGT concepts can be satisfied with available technology traction motors; conventional d.c. motors with switched power supplies will continue to be the most widely used motor for traction application; and solid state devices will be a major factor towards achieving improved motor performance.
