Abstract

The objective is to provide a solution to the urban traffic congestion of major cities by fast park-and-ride links into major towns and cities and then distributive links each end. The first step is to provide "Track Selection" (alias "On-Board Switching") for Compact Automatic Railways ("CAR"s) CARs. The selector wheel is mounted centrally underneath, and pivots between the two positions shown, preselecting to engage either of the two selector rails (14) or (16), and so guiding the vehicle to the right or to the left. They still need adequate stopping distance when the mechanism operates, but convoys can separate laterally actually at the points (both sides are open). Such CARs are for new construction, computer or manually driven, and provide a self routed direct, non stop service from start to finish. A "Distribution Network" at the inner end may follow in the same system, starting with a single station and developing "PRT-Fashion", but overhead, at ground level and/or in tunnels. Initial applications of CARs are for airports, shopping areas and the like.
