Method and a device for the rail traffic on multiply, parallel guide-ways also as toys
Abstract
A Method and a device for a rail traffic on parallel guide-way and also as toys which are effected and consist by a vehicle with wheels or linear motor sleds which, by means of transport member preferably from a kind of hydraulics (at toys by springs or folded bellows), is able to be lifted from one guide-way across to another neighbouring one without railway switch, whereby the guide-ways preferably are stepped arranged on carrier pillars. An individual rail traffic is rendered possible by the one which is not bound by general stops, because the vehicle is able to halt on the lowest gauge even on a guide-way-free pavement. The average velocity of the vehicle is increased with each rail step. The number of the lanes can be largely augmented because the vehicles are also able to run overhanging and partially overlapping and because the narrow gauge is chosen. For the freight traffic, a vehicle is able to use multiply guide-ways, whereby the wheels are held perpendicularly up to the rails during the gradual lowering of the guide-way up to a single guide-way plane. An automation could be caused with automatic distance control between the vehicles, the accident hazard could be lowered though the acceleration of the traffic, but by the avoiding of cross roads combined with an avoiding of exhaust-gas because of the electrification. Biotops could be increased. The transition from the road traffic of today would be possible nearly frictionless. It is especially considered to make a pattern for the use as toy.
