Title:
TRAFFIC/TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1997/002167
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In a traffic/transportation system in which a truck with an automobile/container mounted/fixed thereon travels, a normal steering operation is carried out by changing the direction of wheels (including tires) by an electronically controlled automatic steering system on the basis of steering information, whereby comfortable travel and a smooth turn are obtained. When the truck is about to run off a lane on which it travels, the run-off thereof is prevented physically and mechanically since a fin provided on the truck is inserted in a groove provided in a road, whereby a safe traffic/transportation system is obtained. The truck obtains a driving force by a gap length regulated/controlled linear induction motor so that the truck can travel at a high speed. In branching (diverging) and converging points, the branching (diverging)/converging of the trucks is practiced by steering the wheels (tires) by the automatic steering system, and the truck advances with the fin inserted in a groove in a main line or a ramp, whereby a reliable, safe traffic/transportation system adapted to practice high-speed branching (diverging) is obtained. At the exit/entrance of the present invention to/from a general road, a mode interchange is provided which is adapted to convert a travelling mode of automobile/container, and mount and fix an automobile/container on the truck and unfasten such automobile/container.
