The structure of medium and low speed maglev vehicles and tracks is fundamentally different from that of ordinary wheel rail transit systems.The traditional speed measurement scheme is no longer applicable to the medium and low speed maglev transit system,and a new speed measurement method needs to be reconstructed.This paper analyzes the speed measurement principle,speed measurement accuracy,engineering application,and engineering cost of the five speed measurement methods of the medium and low speed maglev line signaling system,and puts forward reasonable suggestions for the speed measurement of the medium and low speed maglev line signaling system.
