Proposal Narrative:  The suspension system must isolate vibration in the vertical axis due to the bogie wheels rolling against the overhead track.

Design Requirements:
1.
The cabin must be must maintain a horizontal angle (parallel with respect to ground). Max Angle of incline/decline assumed to be 17 degrees.
2.
The suspension system should constrain the movement of the cabin such that there are only
two degrees of freedom (2 DOF).
3.
A damping system will be needed to isolate the cabin from vibrations and oscillatory motion.
4.
The suspension system must be capable of self-leveling the cabin to the station platform.
5.
The suspension system must interface to both the cabin and the bogie.
6.
All components and hardware must have a sufficient safety factor associated with the forces
and stresses imposed by static and dynamic loading.
