This paper presents an parallel type Linear Induction Motor with ununiform airgap for a shallow-depth underground train with 100‰ grade and 15 m curvature. This parallel type LIM has enough gradability but has inherently ununiform airgap between center and end parts. Consequently, performance when the train passes curved section should be considered with transient analysis. Moreover, general parallel operation, 1C2M which is usually used for train operation, deteriorates LIM performance because of different line velocity between inner and outer LIMs. Transient analysis has many problems such as huge model, lots of meshes, very long calculation time, truncation error and so on. This paper has presented a novel technique using equivalent linear rotating model in order to solve these problems and has analyzed parallel type LIM by using the proposed technique. Finally, LIM performance according to independent operating control has been investigated.

This paper suggests a preceding study to introduce implementing problems and improving direction when commercializing a ropeless elevator. In this study, the implementation of the study of pilot systems in order to produce the ropeless elevator and also build a linear velocity sensor, this system is applied to the speed control experiment was investigated through testing. Speed control test is carried out in all track including a curved section. This study verified the feasibility of the ropeless elevator and its drive controller is good enough to be accepted. This study also extracted many more problems that still need to be improved in the future for commercializing such as the sensor, high-performance controller, precision structures, safety devices, efficiency improvements and so on.
