A method of designing the low-speed single-sided linear induction motors (SLIMs) for the urban transit with the maximum speed of 70 km/h is described. The SLIMs can be used not only for the Maglev vehicles, but also for the vehicles of the LIM/wheel systems in which the SLIMs are used for propulsion and the wheels for suspension and guidance. The effects of varying principal design parameters on the performance characteristics and the motor weights are numerically investigated. The effects of small change of the LIM specifications are inquired also. As the criterion of goodness for SLIMs, the following quantities are considered: the motor weight, the cost of secondary materials and the energy consumption on the typical running (including the regenerative braking region). Furthermore, the problem of a SLIM design is approached by use of non linear programming. The sequential unconstrained minimization technique (SUMT) and the simplex method are applied to solve the problem.
