Adequação do Projeto Maglev Cobra às normas internacionais de segurança ferroviária com análise aplicada aos levitadores do veículo

Abstract

This paper exposes an investigation to adapt the Maglev Cobra Project to the international safety standards with the purpose of making the vehicle safe for the transportation of passengers. Observing the lack of information on safety in transportation vehicles in Brazil and also on new technologies applied to transportation, a research was necessary to determine which would be the best safety guidelines or standards to be followed. After defining the normative set, this work carries out a risk analysis based on methodologies widely used in the rail, automotive and aeronautical sectors in order to find the most critical components of the project. With this data, a critical analysis and mechanical characterization of this critical component is performed with the objective of remedying design defects and proposing improvements that meet the requirements defined by the appropriate safety regulations.
