A transport system is provided, which has the capability of increasing a gripping force (contact pressure) of a drive wheel on a rail at a slop region of the rail to safely and efficiently transport an object. This transport system has a main rail, a vehicle carrying the drive wheel rotatable on the main rail and a drive unit for the drive wheel, a coupling unit connected at its one end to the vehicle and at the other end to the object, an auxiliary rail formed under the main rail at the slope region of the main rail, an auxiliary wheel held by the coupling unit to be rotatable on the auxiliary rail without contacting the main rail, and an elastic-force loading unit configured to apply an elastic force in a direction of pressing the auxiliary wheel against the auxiliary rail.

There is provided a transportation system for transporting content from a first specified address to a second specified address. The transportation system comprises a transport channel, a plurality of containers, an operator, a propeller operatively connected to said container and in operative communication with said operator, and a central controller remote from said containers and in operative communication with said operator. The controller is configured for receiving orders for transport between the first and second addresses. In operation, the controller communicates instructions to the operator, and the operator further communicates the instructions to the propeller, causing the propeller to propel the cargo from the first address to the second address.

An overhead transportation system includes a support structure positioning a running surface above ground level for operating a truck along the running surface. A car body is suspended from a beam or chassis carried by the truck in such a manner to place a center a center of rotation of the car body above the chassis and truck. Improved perfomance curves is provided through superelevation of the tracks upon which fixed steel wheel assemblies of the truck ride.

Described are novel passenger conveyance vehicles and passenger transit systems which are configured to transmit signals, when properly received and converted, provide intelligible non-visual communication to current and/or prospective passengers. One embodiment relates to improvement in a passenger conveyance (B) having front (10), back (12) and side portions (14, 16) defining an enclosure for occupation by one or more passengers, one of the side portions having therein at least one door mechanism enabling passenger ingress to and egress from the vehicle, the side portion being hereinafter referred to as the door side, the improvement comprising a frontal transmitter (24) disposed at the front of the vehicle and delivering a frontal frequency modulated lightwave signal in a three-dimensional pattern so as to enable a person disposed ahead of and on the door side of the approaching vehicle to be within the frontal signal pattern as the vehicle continues along at least a substantial portion of its normal line of travel and approaches such person; the front signal, if suitably received and converted, providing intelligible communication to a person within the frontal signal pattern.

A transportation system is provided, in which a light-weight, small-sized vehicle can be used. This transportation system comprises a rail extending between stations, vehicle capable of running on the rail and carrying a drive unit, first zone for accelerating the vehicle from a stopped condition to a required speed by a propulsion force supplied from a propulsion supply unit provided from one of the stations toward the other station by a predetermined distance, and a second zone not having the propulsion supply unit, in which the vehicle accelerated in the first zone travels on the rail by the propulsion force supplied from the drive unit.

The invention relates to an elevated train comprising one or more carriages (1) which are suspended from and move along a rail (2) or similar device. In the train stopping zones, the aforementioned rail is provided with at least two transverse cuts which define a section (5) from which the train remains suspended. Said section (5) is in turn suspended from elevation means (7) which are used to move the section and train together vertically between an upper circulation position and a lower position in which the train rests on or remains close to the ground.

A monorail system for passenger and light freight transportation provides a support structure (14) with an essentially planar top surface (12) and a stabilizer guide rail (18) having a vertical web portion (22) supporting a head portion (24). The head (24) guides a vehicle along the top surface (12) while conductors (76) secured to the web portion (22) transmit electrical current to the vehicle (30) through a current collector (78) secured to the vehicle (30). A portion of the stabilizer guide rail (300) may be flexible providing a simple, inexpensive device for switching the vehicle (30) between a plurality of tracks. The system operates equally well with a variety of vehicle propulsions and suspension systems including electro-mechanical, magnetic levitation or linear electric motors. In a preferred embodiment, the width of the support structure's top surface (12) is approximately half the width of the vehicle (30), and the side of the web portion (22) opposite the side having the conductor (76) includes control conduits (90) that transmit command signals to the vehicle (30) through a communications connector (92) secured to the vehicle (30).

Disclosed is a sliding lock-on device for track-bound wheeled vehicles including a member (12) and a grounding pad (14). A first end (16) of the member (12) is configured to be connected to a guide frame (64) of a rail vehicle. The grounding pad (14) is attached to a second end (18) of the member. The grounding pad may be attached to the member in any location suitable for collecting ground from a guide beam (44) during use. A pair of lock-on devices is installed on the vehicle, such that one is located on each side of the guide beam. Since the lock-on device is attached to the guide frame (64) of the vehicle and engages the underneath of the guide beam (44), any force tending to tip the vehicle will cause the lock-on device to "grab" the guide beam. The relationship of the guide beam (44) and the grounding pad (14) prevents the vehicle from tipping. Thus, track jumping and roll over are inhibited.
