Definitions
- the invention relates to a vehicle system for the transport of people and goods, which has at least one fixedly installed travel carrier for transportation on a rail by means of devices installed in the vehicle or a drive mechanism for driving in road traffic.
- the part of the magnetic levitation train is used in vehicles both in the field of local passenger transport (magnetic levitation train) and in the field of passenger transport (Transrapid), but in larger dimensions.
- the previous applications have been limited to test sections, since a convincing, integrated solution has not yet been found.
- a major disadvantage of the magnetic transport systems used hitherto is that the operator has to make substantial investments for the rail system and vehicles alone and the user is bound to the rigid operating system of public transport.
- the utilization of the routes is extremely uneconomical and only takes place with large transport units, which are also underutilized. The use by multiple vehicle owners is not practiced to a significant degree.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to construct a transport system of the type mentioned in the introduction in such a way that the environmental compatibility and the ease of use are improved.
- the vehicle is designed as an individual vehicle which has an interchangeable energy block to enable road traffic, which can be stored in the area of coupling points of the driving girder and regenerated in the area of coupling points of the driving girder and that the vehicle after threading onto the drive beam after passing through the coupling switch by means of magnetic fields acting either on the drive beam or in the vehicle on the mounting rail, can be accelerated to areas of high speed and after being pulled out of the driving rail can be driven by another drive system.
- the vehicle has a size dimensioning that corresponds to a conventional passenger car.
- This design of the vehicle makes it possible to use both conventional production systems for production and to use conventional roads to guide the incoming and outgoing traffic to the rail.
- Such vehicles can be manufactured in large numbers due to their structure at prices which are lower than those of conventional passenger cars which are only driven by a high-performance internal combustion engine become. This makes it possible to ensure a very high level of acceptance of the transport system.
- each vehicle is equipped with an on-board computer that performs a number of operating and control functions.
- the on-board computer can select the cheapest route depending on the respective boundary conditions and provide information about a current location.
- the on-board computer takes over the control of the vehicle to the destination and the exchange of information with higher-level operating systems.
- the onboard computer can also perform the coordination ofharafunktionei ⁇ "during operation with the second drive system.
- a superordinate control system which controls threading and unthreading processes and specifies respective traffic routes depending on regional traffic route loads.
- traffic densifications which would be caused by accidental vehicle agglomerations, can be avoided by predictive traffic control.
- the superordinate control system thus ensures high transport speeds and thus shorter travel times, which makes the transport system superior to all conventional means of transport.
- the possibilities of another preferred embodiment allow use for local public transport.
- a number of vehicle elements coupled to one another are provided, which are not all must be equipped with a drive element.
- Driven vehicle elements in front and behind take over line, drive and braking.
- the individual vehicle elements have a somewhat larger dimensioning than a passenger car. They are variable in length and have several seating elements.
- the advantages of this system are an individual driving experience for the user, quick and uncomplicated adaptation of the total transport space requirement to the respective requirement, since vehicle elements can theoretically be coupled and uncoupled at each station and the shared use of the rail system for local public transport and individual users , which means an effective utilization of the lane.
- the vehicles for local public transport do not have to be designed for high speeds in accordance with their intended field of use, which means that the production costs can be reduced.
- a preliminary planning, billing and control of the transport services is possible via the computer system and individual coding systems.
- a further preferred embodiment provides for the individual transport of raw, auxiliary, semi-finished and finished products between operating or service areas, which is coupled individually or by several identical vehicle elements.
- the size of rails and vehicles are adapted to the part sizes to be transported, they are based on the optimally calculated parts, lot or container data, a modular system in several sizes would be conceivable.

Magnetic fields are generated in the vehicles (1) on the outer edges of the guide recesses (35) against the direction of travel of the vehicle (1) and are used for locomotion with respect to the travel carrier (6) serving as a secondary element.
- FIG. 11 shows a possible variant of a transport system for the transport of loads in modular systems.
- the sizes are graded in system sizes. This means that all weight and room sizes can be transported.
- the carriage (6) can be installed in all angles and positions and can also be changed within the system.

- the drive according to the invention is the same for all vehicles.
- the outer contour of the bow (16) and stern (15) of the individual vehicles (1) should be matched to one another in such a way that when coupled together they result in the smallest possible air gap (29), but at the same time are movable relative to one another.
- a half-shell (27) can be pivoted about a bearing (28), so that the half-shell which is thus bent backwards (27) results in a more favorable aerodynamic shape of the vehicle (1).
- the possible position of the vehicles (1) results from the radii of the magnetic track (2) in the curves and up and downhill runs as well as from the air gap tolerances of the guide recesses (7).
