System for stabilizing a track-wheel based device on a support track

This disclosure relates to system for stabilizing a track-wheel based device is disclosed. In some embodiments, the system may include a support track configured to support the track-wheel based device. The system may further include a support-finger coupled to the track-wheel based device via a pivot point, the support-finger being rotatable about the pivot point between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the support-finger may be configured to sandwich the support track between the track-wheel based device and the support-finger. The system may further include a biasing member having a first end and second end. The biasing member may be coupled to the at least one support-finger via the first end, and to the track-wheel based device via the second end. Further, the biasing member may be configured to maintain the at least one support-finger biased in the first position.

Multiple tier elevated light train
09809933 · 2017-11-07 · ·

A method and apparatus for enabling elevated trains for travel both above as well as below a vertically tiered pair of tracks by having wheels both in the upper and lower area of the train with the ability to switch, at the end of the line, from traveling on the upper tracks using lower wheels to traveling on the lower track using upper wheels. The method and apparatus of switching between upper and lower tracks enables trains to be moved between multiple levels serving as passing loops as well as vertical depots.

Active control deflection neutralizer

Neutralizing deflection in a transportation system comprising connecting a number of support structures to ground. A tube is coupled to the support structures via a number of actuators, wherein the tube defines an interior enclosure through which a vehicle can travel. Utilizing a number of sensors, directional displacement of the support structures can be sensed, and the actuators are controller to counter the sensed displacement of the support structures by producing a directionally-opposite displacement of the tube relative to the support structures.

TRACK-CHANGING DEVICE FOR A PNEUMATIC TRANSPORT VEHICLE
20220119018 · 2022-04-21 ·

The present invention refers to an improvement developed on a pneumatic transport system for loads and/or passengers whose vehicles are not provided with on-board drive means, being guided on two exclusive tracks arranged in parallel, each track being dedicated to one travel direction, resulting in high transport capacity. The vehicles (1) travel over railway tracks (5) laid over an elevated track (6) supported by pillars (7). The center of the top of the superstructure of the elevated track (6) has a longitudinal slot (9) with seal (8) by means of which the mast (3) of the propulsion plate (4) is allowed to move freely along the path of the vehicle (1). The crossbeam is comprised by four beams which constitute the superstructure of the elevated track, being two turnout beams (6′) and two straight beams (6), whereby the four beams are permanently connected to each other and to the pillars (7) in the region of the heads to form a monolithic hyperstatic structure. In the superstructure of the turnout beams (6′) there are mounted the mobile rails (16, 18 and 21) with their respective drive mechanisms (17, 19 and 20) and locking (15). A section isolation valve is positioned inside the propulsion duct (12) of the turnout beams (6′) and is comprised of a shutter (40) and a linear actuator (41) which activates a set of two articulated rods (42) to the position of the limit stop (43).

MONORAIL TRANSPORTATION-BASED SPATIAL TRANSPORT SYSTEM
20210340713 · 2021-11-04 ·

A monorail transportation-based spatial transport system, comprising a load-bearing frame system or a load-bearing pier system. The load-bearing frame or pier system divides, by means of bent caps, the spatial transport system into at least two layers (K1, K2), the two layers (K1, K2) comprising an odd-numbered layer below the bent cap (B-1) and an even-numbered layer above said bent cap, the odd-numbered layer comprising or not comprising suspended monorail transportation, and the even-numbered layer comprising any of straddle-type transportation, magnetic levitation-type transportation, road transportation and railway transportation. The spatial transport system comprises two or more types of monorail transportation or a combination of one or more types of monorail transportation and other types of transportation, and solves the problems of intensive passenger flow, ground transportation congestion and low logistics efficiency.
