Abstract

A system is provided that uses small carrier vehicles (10) that operate along electrified guideways and use standardized connections to automatically carry passenger cabins, freight loads and automobile platforms (11) to desired destinations. The connections are made to upper ends of posts (15) that extend from front and rear portions of each carrier vehicle (10) and up through a narrow centrally located slot in the guideway. The guideway provides a protected environment for error-free data transmissions made through closely spaced inductive couplings between monitoring and control circuits along the guideway and control circuits of the carrier vehicles. Control circuitry is provided to obtain highly reliable control of vehicle speed and of starting, stopping and merge operations. Automobiles are securely held on platforms (11) which are so handled as to permit rapid loading and unloading operations.
