High-speed transportation mechanism on rail track

A transportation mechanism on a railed track having straight lines and curved lines, and a vehicle running along the railed track, the railed track comprising:

• a first rail being provided on a ground and defining a running direction of the vehicle, said first rail having a circular head portion;
• and
• a second rail being provided above and along said first rail, said second rail being configured to oppose said first rail, curved lines of said second rail being displaced at a center side of the curved lines relative to curved lines of said first rail;
• and the vehicle comprising,
• a vehicle body,
• a plurality of running wheels being rotatably supported by said first rail, said plurality of running wheels having a concave portion on an outer periphery of said plurality of running wheels, said concave portion being concave relative to said outer periphery, said concave portion being circular and being configured to maintain continuous contact with said circular head portion of said first rail as an axis of rotation of said plurality of running wheels tilts relative to said first rail, said running wheels being provided below said vehicle body linearly along said running direction of the vehicle, and
• a plurality of guide members being configured to control a running posture of the vehicle by engaging with said second rail, said plurality of guide members being provided above said vehicle body linearly along said running direction of the vehicle, said plurality of guide members being movable in a left-right direction perpendicular to said running direction of the vehicle with regard to said vehicle body.

A transportation mechanism comprising:

• a railed track comprising,
• a first rail being provided on a ground and defining a running direction of the vehicle, said first rail having a circular head portion, said first rail having first straight and first curved lines;
• and
• a second rail provided above and along said first rail, said second rail being configured to oppose said first rail, said second rail having second straight and second curved lines, said second straight lines being arranged substantially directly above said first straight lines relative to a force vector of the gravity of earth, said second curved lines being displaced circumferentially on a concave side of said first curved lines relative to a force vector of the gravity of earth;
• and a vehicle comprising,
• a vehicle body,
• a plurality of running wheels being rotatably supported by said first rail, said plurality of running wheels having a concave portion on an outer periphery of said plurality of running wheels, said concave portion being concave relative to said outer periphery, said concave portion being circular and being configured to maintain continuous contact with said circular head portion of said first rail as an axis of rotation of said plurality of running wheels tilts relative to said first rail, said running wheels being provided below said vehicle body linearly along said running direction of the vehicle, and
• a plurality of guide members being configured to control a running posture of said vehicle, said plurality of guide members being configured to engage said second rail, said plurality of guide members being provided above said vehicle body linearly along said running direction of the vehicle, said plurality of guide members being movable in a left-right direction perpendicular to said running direction of said vehicle with regard to said vehicle body.
