Abstract: A lateral suspension assembly for a guided vehicle system (10) includes a pair of lateral wheel housings (42, 44) each including a lateral wheel (46, 48) rotatable about spaced vertical axes for engaging spaced opposing guide rails (60, 62) of the guided system; a lateral limit link for limiting outward travel of the lateral wheels beyond a predetermined limit; a pair of spaced support arms (86, 88) pivotably attached at one end to the guided vehicle (12) and at the other to the lateral wheel housings; and a biasing device (64) interconnected with each of the wheel housings for urging the lateral wheels in contact with the guide rails.

Abstract: An in-vehicle switch mechanism for guiding a vehicle along a guideway at converging and diverging points of the guide rails in a guided vehicle system includes a support frame; a pivot assembly; a switch arm assembly pivotably mounted at its proximate end to the pivot assembly; a switch wheel rotatably mounted to the switch arm assembly at its distal end; an actuator for moving the switch arm between a deployed position in which the switch wheel engages a guide rail and a stowed position in which the switch wheel is free of the guide rail; and a biasing device interconnected between the support frame and pivot assembly for pre-loading the switch wheel against the guide rail when the switch wheel is deployed as the vehicle approaches the point of divergence; and an in-vehicle switch system which uses such in-vehicle switch mechanisms.
