In view of the current traffic criticism faced by urban construction and the quality development and personalized trend of future rail transit system, a new type of maglev rail transit system is proposed in this paper. The principles of the modules of train suspension guidance, linear drive and on-board communication are also introduced and analyzed in this paper. Additionally, the feasibility of train suspension structure is studied based on Ansoft Maxwell finite element simulation, which includes: under three-dimensional magnetic field, the static magnetic force of Halbach permanent magnet array is changed, and the safety and reliability of the permanent magnet suspension array are verified by comparing with the actual test vehicle sampling data; the critical stability characteristics of suspension structure under static magnetic field are proved by physical modeling. Therefore, the electromagnetic damping structure is introduced into the vehicle suspension frame to constitute the hybrid suspension control system of permanent magnet electromagnetic, and the hybrid suspension model is established, which proves that the hybrid suspension system has controllable observability. Finally, the linearized state feedback control strategy is designed for the single-point electromagnetic levitation ball system to simulate the compensation and regulation of the static magnetic field by the electromagnetic damping system. The excellent performance of the electromagnetic levitation ball also proves the feasibility and rationality of the electromagnetic control strategy. Compared with the traditional electromagnetic hybrid suspension system, this system realizes “zero” power suspension, and the energy consumption of train suspension is only consumed in the instant that the electromagnetic damping system is regulated.
