Abstract
A vehicle guidance system and method of forming the same. The vehicle guidance system includes a transport guideway having an at least partial tube structure; vehicle tracks; a vehicle, having a fuselage with an uppermost surface and a lowermost surface, that travels over the vehicle tracks; and at least one track channel assembly arranged on an inside of the at least partial tube structure. The at least one track channel assembly is arranged so that, as the vehicle travels over the vehicle track, the at least one track channel assembly is located between the uppermost surface and the lowermost surface of the fuselage.

A vehicle guidance system, comprising:
- a transport guideway having an at least partial tube structure;
- vehicle tracks;
- a vehicle, having a fuselage with an uppermost surface and a lowermost surface, that travels over the vehicle tracks;
- and
- at least one track channel assembly arranged on an inside of the at least partial tube structure,
- wherein the at least one track channel assembly is arranged so that, as the vehicle travels over the vehicle track, the at least one track channel assembly is located between the uppermost surface and the lowermost surface of the fuselage.
A process of forming a vehicle guidance system comprising:
- placing a vehicle track to define a guide path along a transport guideway having an at least partial tube structure, wherein the transport guideway is configured to accommodate a vehicle, having a fuselage with an uppermost surface and a lowermost surface, for travel over the vehicle track;
- and
- positioning at least one track channel assembly on an inside of the at least partial tube structure so that, as the vehicle travels over the vehicle track, the at least one track channel assembly is located between the uppermost surface and the lowermost surface of the fuselage.
