Switch element for a track carrying a rubber-tyred vehicle, track switchgear made from said elements and method for transporting passengers along a rail provided with such switchgear

A flexible track switchgear for equipping a track crossing of a track carrying a rubber-tyred train, the track comprising two parallel rails, each having an upper running face for tyres of the rubber-tyred train and an inner side face for guiding the rubber-tyred train,

• the switchgear comprising two parallel ties of switch elements, each of the switch elements having at least one hinge providing a longitudinal link with an adjacent switch element of the same one of the two parallel ties,
• wherein said switch elements each have a set of longitudinal abutments engaging with said at least one hinge for adjusting a relative angular orientation of the switch element and with a pivoting bottom rod providing a connection to an alignment with an identical switch element of the other of the two parallel ties arranged symmetrically on an opposite side of the switchgear, two end sections, each hinged on one of the switch elements located at one end of a respective one the two parallel ties, for aligning and locking the two parallel ties with guard rails of the track crossing and for linking the two parallel ties with devices for controlling a pivoting of the two parallel ties, and
• a central switch rail rotatively mounted in an axial extension of a crossing core and having a spatulated end branch alternately aligned with the respective end sections of the two parallel ties.
