The wheel is for a railway vehicle that travels on a rail. The wheel includes a wheel tread, a flange and a throat portion. The wheel tread is provided at an outer circumferential portion of the wheel. The wheel tread faces a head surface of the rail. The flange is provided at the outer circumferential portion of the wheel. The flange projects further outward than the wheel tread in the radial direction of the wheel. The throat portion connects the surface of the flange and the wheel tread. The throat portion has a protrusion. The protrusion projects to the rail side. The protrusion extends along the entire circumference of the throat portion.

A specific vehicle having a unique structure, modified wheel design and capable of running on a dedicated lane with uniform speed is described. The transportation system controls the traffic flow from and to the arterial roads to the highways. This allows the traffic management system to efficiently manage the commute time traffic and avoid congestion. The modified space and energy transportation management system and method of using it enables efficient transportation management while saving time and energy for service providers as well as users.

The present invention relates to a multi-part track wheel with a wheel tyre, with a wheel rim and with at least two elastic bodies arranged between the wheel tyre and the wheel rim, via which the wheel tyre is supported spring elastically on the wheel rim and which are arranged distributed in the circumferential direction around the rotary axis of the track wheel, wherein the elastic bodies are clamped between an inner circumferential surface of the wheel tyre and an outer circumferential surface of the wheel rim and in this case abut with their outer side assigned to the wheel tyre on the inner circumferential surface of the wheel tyre and with their inner side assigned to the wheel rim on the outer circumferential surface of the wheel rim and an elastic body for use in a track wheel. The track wheel according to the invention designed according to the one-ring concept provides an optimised low spring constant and the elastic body as an essential component for the spring properties allows the manufacture of a one-ring track wheel with optimised usage properties. This is achieved in that the elastic bodies are locked against a movement in the circumferential direction by forming elements provided in each case on the inner circumferential surface of the wheel tyre and/or on the outer circumferential surface of the wheel rim.

A wheel, a magnet-wheel system and a method including a wheel for a transport vehicle movable along a guideway in a transportation system. The transportation system includes a conductive surface arranged substantially parallel to the guideway. The wheel includes at least one magnet is affixed to at least one of an exterior of the wheel or an interior of the wheel. The wheel is rotatably drivable by drag forces created in the conductive surface, which is spatially separate from the wheel in transport.

A dual mode vehicle that operates on guided rails and roadways includes a capsule, a carriage, a front left drive system, a front right drive system, a rear left drive system, a rear right drive system, a pod control unit, and at least one battery. The carriage includes a spherical frame-housing and a base. A spherical cabin of the capsule is attitudinally mounted within the spherical frame-housing. The front left drive system, the front right drive system, the rear left drive system, and the rear right drive system each includes a motor, a drive axle, a road wheel, and a rail wheel. The road wheel and the rail wheel are axially mounted to the drive axle. The motor that is mounted to the base is operatively coupled with the drive axle through the at least one battery and the pod control unit to operate a roadway or railway transportation mode.

A wheel includes a boss, a rim, and a web. The rim includes a tread and a flange. The web connects the boss and the rim. When the wheel is viewed in its longitudinal section, the web has a linear plate-thickness center line that is inclined such that the plate-thickness center line approaches the flange side as it extends outward in a radial direction. When the wheel is viewed in its longitudinal section, an outer end of the plate-thickness center line is positioned between the flange and a center of the tread in an axial direction of the wheel.
