Abstract
The NBP (Neue Bahntechnik Paderborn) project has been established at the University of Paderborn five years ago and a test track is used for investigations on railway vehicles (shuttles) driven by linear motors. The linear drive is part of a complex mechatronic system with a modular design. The control structure of this railway system is based on the operation of autonomous shuttles which are fitted with individual power managements on board. The power supply of all track sections is decentralized, so reference values have to be sent directly from the shuttles to the local power supply units distributed along the track sections.
