 Author(s)   K. Yoshida; A. Nafa 
 Abstract   When running underwater a linear synchronous motor train will face a large running-resistance difficult to evaluate which is mainly due to much stronger hydrodynamic effect than the mechanical friction between guide-rollers and guideway. To evaluate this running-resistance a neural network is designed and trained off-line using experimental data. The trained neural network can evaluate the running-resistance for any demand position and speed patterns within the range of speed limited by the training data. Combining both the robustness of a servo controller and the neural network fast calculation capability, the trained neural network is used as a compensator in a feed-forward control loop to increase the efficiency of the decoupled controller used so far to control marine express 02 for levitation, propulsion and guidance.
