High speed suspended transit system and related methods

A suspended monorail transport system comprising:

• a pair of parallel, elevated rails having a bottom with a circular flange profile;
• a series of monorail cars, each suspended from a pair of bogies via a rotatable pivot connection configured to permit rotation of the bogies about the car body, wherein each bogie comprises four wheels riding on the circular flange of the rail, and each wheel has a rolling axis coincident with the central axis of the circular rail flange, allowing for rolling along different areas of the circular flange while maintaining perpendicularly to the rolling axis and the central axis of the rail such that the angle of rotation of the cars and bogies with respect to the rails adjusts based on the speed, acceleration, and weight of the car, allowing the cars to negotiate curves at high speed;
• and
• wherein the wheels of each bogie are inclined at an angle such that the longitudinal wheel axis is coincident with the radial center of rotation of the circular rail flange.
