This track-guided vehicle is provided with a car body, and a bogie that supports the car body from the bottom, and has a frame capable of pivoting around an axis perpendicular to a track. The bogie is provided with: a car body tilting part that tilts the car body to the left and right in the direction of travel; a detection part that detects the amount of pivot of the frame; and a tilt control part that allows the car body to be tilted by the car body tilting part on the basis of the amount of pivot detected by the detection part.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for estimating a lateral force applied to a bogie due to contact between a wheel and a rail when a railroad vehicle drives in a curved section, the apparatus including: a lateral velocity estimation observer configured to calculate a lateral velocity estimate by estimating a lateral velocity based on a vertical acceleration, a lateral acceleration, a yaw velocity, and a wheel angular velocity of the railroad vehicle; and a lateral force estimation observer configured to calculate a lateral force estimate, by estimating a lateral force applied to a bogie of the railroad vehicle based on a steering angle of the railroad vehicle, a vertical force applied to the railroad vehicle, and a lateral velocity estimate calculated by the lateral velocity estimation observer.

An urban rail transit vehicle includes a vehicle body, a plurality of driving rubber wheels and guiding steel wheels are installed on the bottom of the vehicle body; the plurality of driving rubber wheels are arranged along the length of the vehicle body, the plurality of guiding steel wheels are arranged along the length of the vehicle body; the vehicle body is provided with a first driving device for driving the guiding steel wheels to move up and down along the height of the vehicle body. In the urban rail transit vehicle provided by the present invention, guiding steel wheels capable of moving up and down are arranged on the vehicle body, realizing running on a railway line or an automobile transport road surface line, diversifying applications of vehicle and reducing construction cost.

The ultralight two track train that does not derail, made up of one or more ultralight wagons and aerodynamic, oval or semi-oval transverse profiles, characterized in that the wagons carry vertical or inclined wheels or pulley wheels in their lower area and supported by the chassis of the wagons, which rest and roll on a pair of vertical or inclined rails, the channels of the pulley wheels are supported and held on the head of circular, semicircular or semi-oval section of the rails, the heads of the rails being trapped with the pulley wheels, adding pairs of wheels that use a common axis, the rails are coupled and fixed tongue and groove to the sleepers or to some monolithic structures or channels, the sleepers are fixed using the track system on concrete slab, using electrical supply means, propellant means and reducing means of the front, rear and lateral resistance of the wagons, adding wheels with permanent magnets or with electromagnets that are attached, or run close and attracted by the rails.

A bogie includes a bogie frame, a first running wheel and a second running wheel, at least one driving device, a first horizontal wheel, a second horizontal wheel, a first horizontal safety wheel connected to the first horizontal wheel and moving in synchronization with the first horizontal wheel, and a second horizontal safety wheel connected to the second horizontal wheel and moving in synchronization with the second horizontal wheel. The bogie frame has a straddle recess suitable for straddling a rail. The first running wheel and the second running wheel are pivotably mounted onto the bogie frame respectively and are coaxially spaced apart. The at least one driving device is mounted onto the bogie frame and located between the first running wheel and the second running wheel to drive the first running wheel and the second running wheel.
