The present invention relates to a switch system for personal rapid transmit which offers passengers a non-stop direct origin to destination in a small on-board unit. The switching device is installed at a certain area in a network shape including main path and diverging path and merging path therefrom. The switch system for personal rapid transit comprises guideway (10) which includes rails necessary to travelling in its inside; small vehicles (30) which automatically travel on the guideway, including a vehicle chassis (40) equipped with guidance wheels which are inserted into the inside vacancy of the guideway; and electromagnetic switch means (70), arranged at front and rear of the vehicle chassis, which performs the switching operation so that it provides attraction force to the rail when the vehicle travels on a straight main path, and that it controls the vehicle to travel into the preset direction by making a close contact with the rail when the vehicle goes into the switch section. As a result, the present invention provides, for switching at short headways of one half second without moving parts on the guideway thereby allowing a high volumn of vehicles to be operated, a swift vehicle's travel even in the switch section of the guideway thereby offering passengers rapid transit to destination. |
