Traffic system for track-guided vehicles with steerable wheels

A traffic system, comprising on the side of the road at least one road guide means operable to be mechanically detected and predetermining the track, and on the vehicle side at least one transverse guide means following the road guide means, the interactions between road guide means and the transverse guide means being operable to be transmitted to steerable wheels under interconnection of a force and movement transmission means fed with auxiliary energy in such a manner that the vehicle follows unilaterally only a single road guide means, characterized in that the vehicle transverse guide means in its operating position is arranged substantially immovably relative to an axle member of the vehicle axle having steering wheels and is constructed so sturdily itself as also as regards its suspension that also without deflection of the steerable wheels the vehicle can be form-lockingly track-guided and laterally displaced in a damage-free operationally safe manner by way of the transverse guide means, in that force-measuring means for determining the lateral forces exerted on the transverse guide means are arranged in the suspension of the transverse guide means, and in that the force and movement transmission means are so constructed that the steerable wheels are always automatically deflected so as to maintain a predetermined desired value of the lateral force at the transverse guide means.
