  • Electric rail transportation system, vehicle, and rail used in the transportation system
    Patent number: 6012396
    Abstract: A transportation system includes a rail system and a vehicle capable of traveling on a road surface or the rail system. The vehicle includes two sets of wheels, one wheel for riding on the road surface, and another for riding on the rail. The rail is provided at an acute angle, and the wheels pivot, so that an outer flange on the rail lockingly engages an outer flange on the wheel, thereby preventing derailment. A controller automatically controls the vehicles on the rail. Magnetized bumpers on the vehicles enable the vehicles to travel on the rail in pods. Transition zones for easy entrance and exit to and from the rail system are provided at road overpasses.
