Abstract

The system transports cabins (4) in both directions over sections of track (1) which may be horizontal (8), vertical (11), rising or falling (9,10) and sharply curved (6) or spiral. The cabins are entered via automatic sliding doors (90) and remain upright on their undercarriages at all times. The points (7) are formed simply by branching of the groove in which each undercarriage is propelled. The direction taken from each divergence is decided by a program from the destination information entered by the passenger.

Description

Automatische Schienenkabinenbahn-Anlagen sind in verschiedenen Ausführungen bekannt. Insbesondere Schienenkabinenbahnen, die waaagerecht (Monorailbahnen), steigend und fallend (Zahnradbahnen), hängend (Schwebebahnen) fahren.Automatic rail car systems are available in different versions known. In particular, rail cabin railways that run horizontally (monorail railways), ascending and descending (cogwheel railways), hanging (suspension railways).

Automatische Schienenkabinenbahn-Anlagen üblicher Bauart bestehen aus unterschiedlichen Systemen mit unterschiedlichen Fahrwegsystemen und unterschiedlichen Fahrzeugen mit festen Kabinen für die verschiedenen Fahrwege, die nur wenig Steigungs- und Gefälleänderungen im Fahrweg zulassen. Die Weichen haben mechanisch bewegliche Teile und die automatische Steuerung der Fahrzeuge erfolgt von einer Zentrale aus, um den automatischen Betrieb zu gewährleisten. Keine bisherige automatische Schienenkabinenbahn-Anlage kann mit einem gleichen Fahrweg kontinuierlich von aufrechtwaagerecht, -steigend, -fallend und senkrecht bis hängendwaagerecht, -steigend, -fallend und spiralförmig fahren, wobei die Kabine mechanisch geführt, immer senkrecht steht und das Fahrzeug an jedem Punkt des Fahrwegs halten kann, und die automatische Steuerung nicht über eine Zentrale, sondern in jedem einzelnen Fahrzeug über die Bordcomputer, die über Leitungen im Fahrweg vernetzt sind, erfolgt.Automatic rail car systems of conventional design consist of different systems with different track systems and different vehicles with fixed cabins for different routes, which allow only slight changes in incline and slope in the route. The Turnouts have mechanically moving parts and automatic control of the Vehicles are carried out from a control center to ensure automatic operation guarantee. No previous automatic rail car system can do that a same route continuously from upright, rising, falling and drive vertically to hanging horizontally, rising, falling and spiraling, the cabin being mechanically guided, always standing vertically and the vehicle on can stop at any point of the route, and the automatic control does not have a control center, but in each individual vehicle via the on-board computer, the are networked via lines in the route.

Der in den Ansprüchen 1-5 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine automatische Schienenkabinenbahn-Anlage zu erfinden, deren Fahrweg aufrechtwaagerecht, -steigend, -fallend, senkrecht, hängendwaagerecht, -steigend, - fallend und spiralförmig verlegt ist und deren Fahrzeuge geradeaus, durch enge Kurven und vor und zurück fahren, und an jeder Stelle des Fahrweges anhalten können, und die Kabine dabei mechanisch geführt immer aufrecht steht, und die Weichen im Fahrweg keine beweglichen Teile haben und die automatische Steuerung über ein Programm, von der Zieleingabe des Fahrgastes bestimmt, über einzelne über den Fahrweg vernetzte Bordcomputer im Fahrzeug erfolgt.The invention specified in claims 1-5 is based on the problem to invent an automatic rail car system whose route upright, rising, falling, vertical, hanging, horizontal, rising, falling and laid in a spiral and their vehicles straight, through narrow Curve and drive back and forth and stop at any point on the route can, and the cabin is always upright mechanically guided, and the Turnouts have no moving parts in the track and the automatic ones Control via a program, determined by the destination input of the passenger, via individual on-board computer networked via the route takes place in the vehicle.

Dieses Problem wird durch die in den Patentansprüchen 1-5 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst.This problem is solved by the features listed in claims 1-5 solved.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile liegen darin, daß sich die automatische Schienenkabinenbahn-Anlage extremen Geländebedingungen vollständig anpassen kann, die Haltestellen mittels der Weichen unabhängig vom aufgeständerten Hauptfahrweg in die Ebene der Fahrgäste, mit geringem Platzbedarf, gelegt werden können und die unterschiedlichen Anforderungen die bisher von Monorailbahnen, Zahnradbahnen und Hängebahnen getrennt erfüllt werden, können mit dieser Erfindung durch ein einheitliches System erfüllt werden.The advantages achieved by the invention are that the automatic Fully adapt the rail cabin system to extreme terrain conditions can, the stops by means of the switches regardless of the elevated Main route in the plane of the passengers, with little space required can and the different requirements of monorail railways, Cogwheel tracks and overhead tracks can be fulfilled separately with this Invention to be met by a unified system.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2-5 angegeben. Die Variationsmöglichkeiten sind groß und die Anwendungsbeispiele überall dort, wo es auf einer komplizierten Fahrstrecke um einen schnellen, unkomplizierten und bequemen Personentransport geht, ohne Wartezeit an der Abfahrstelle und ohne Zwischenhalt auf der Hauptstrecke.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in claims 2-5. The possibilities of variation are great and the application examples wherever it on a complicated route for a fast, uncomplicated and comfortable transport of people is possible, without waiting at the departure point and without Stop on the main route.
