Abstract

A switching system for a transportation system of the type employing a guideway and vehicles adapted to travel along the guideway. A guideway junction is provided having a first end communicating with a first portion of the guideway and having a bifurcated, second end communicating with second and third, mutually diverging portions of the guideway. A movable guide rail is positioned adjacent the first end of the junction and pivotable between first and second positions for initially guiding a vehicle in a respective one of two directions upon the vehicle entering the junction from the junction first end. A fixed, guiding means is positioned between the movable guide rail and the second guideway portion and is operable to guide a vehicle through the junction and onto the second guideway portion upon the vehicle being initially guided by the movable guide rail while the movable guide rail is in its first position and another fixed, guiding means is operable to guide a vehicle through the junction and onto the third guideway portion upon the vehicle being initially guided by the movable guide rail positioned in its second position. In one embodiment of the switching system, the movable guide rail is positioned by actuating means operable for moving the guide rail to a selected one of its two positions. In another embodiment adapted particularly to accomodate vehicles entering the junction from the second or third guideway portions, the movable guide rail is normally held in its first position by positioning means operable for resiliently urging the movable guide rail to its first position, and is deflected to its second position by vehicles which enter the junction from the third guideway portion.
