This paper reviews permanent magnet electrodynamic suspensions used in ground transportation systems, such as MAGLEV trains. The different suspension topologies are firstly presented, considering separately their two main components, namely the track and the magnetic field source. Beyond that, a phenomenological explanation of the evolution with the speed of the drag and levitation forces is provided, depending on the track topology. The models aimed at predicting the behavior and performance of the suspension are then detailed, classifying them according to whether they are global or local. Finally, the main experimental setups developed to validate permanent magnet electrodynamic suspensions are described.
