Running surface for guided bus - is double cambered with raised edges and corrugated sided central triangular rib at highest point

摘要

The twin track road surface, wide enough for two buses is cambered, sloping downwards from a central high point to the outer edge of each track (2,2'). The hubs of the omnibus wheels carry rollers (11) projecting outwards and able to contact a raised edge (12) at the outer edge of the track and also the sloping sides (7) of a triangular rib (6) at the highest central point. The slope of the tracks forms an angle between 2 and 8 deg. to the horizontal. The sloping sides (7) of the triangular rib slope at an angle between 8 and 50 deg. to the horizontal and can be ribbed, knobbed or corrugated. ADVANTAGE - Efficient vehicle guidance, avoiding collision.
