Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for shuttle height monitoring systems for shuttles powered by linear synchronous motors. An example system may include a track, a first sensor disposed adjacent to the track, a second sensor disposed adjacent to the track, a third sensor disposed adjacent to the second sensor, and a controller. The controller may be configured to determine, using the third sensor, that the first shuttle is adjacent to the first sensor, determine, using the first sensor, a first distance between a first lower portion of the first shuttle and the first sensor, determine, using the second sensor, that the second shuttle is adjacent to the first sensor, and determine, using the first sensor, a second distance between a second lower portion of the second shuttle and the first sensor.
