      abstract = {Electrodynamic suspensions are well-suited for high-speed  maglev systems. This paper optimizes and compares two  configurations of permanent magnets of such suspension  integrated in a small-scale test vehicle. The first one is  the Halbach array, classically used for the high magnetic  flux density it generates, whereas the second one is the  simpler alternance of magnetic poles. Through the  optimization of the lift-to-drag ratio and the mass of the  suspension, it is shown that both configurations can have  similar performances. The Halbach array has a lower overall  mass but a higher permanent magnet volume and therefore  cost. A portion of the additional weight of the alternate  arrangement can be gained by reducing its back-iron  thickness and removing materials at the center of the  magnetic poles.},
