AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing vehicle systems, such as rail vehicle systems, experience slow acceleration due to the limited number of propulsion-generating vehicles, leading to delayed travel and increased fuel consumption and emissions.
Method used
A control system that includes primary and secondary motors, where the secondary motors generate less propulsive effort and are activated to augment the primary motors' effort during acceleration, and can also be used for braking, with a resilient interface to reduce vibrations and enhance durability.
Benefits of technology
The system enhances the acceleration of vehicle systems by augmenting propulsion effort, reduces fuel consumption and emissions, and allows for more efficient braking, thereby improving overall system performance.

Abstract
A motor (410; 810; 1010) may include a rotor (402; 902) that rotates within or relative to a stator (400). The rotor (402; 902) can extend around the axle (112) of a vehicle (106). The motor (410; 810; 1010) also may include a resilient interface (500; 800; 1000) coupled with the rotor (402; 902). This resilient interface (500; 800; 1000) can be coupled with the axle (112) and an end of the rotor (402; 902) to transfer rotation of the rotor (402; 902) to the axle (112) while reducing vibrations of the axle (112) from reaching the rotor (402; 902).
