Abstract

A novel rail guidance system (DTS) is described, allowing rail vehicles and dual mode vehicles to drive safely and autonomously on existing standard and Vignole rails, and to change direction without being influenced from the outside via existing switches, irrespective of the momentary switch position. The DTS exchanges a passive vehicle/active switch role for an active vehicle/passive switch role. Existing switches do not need to be converted, adapted or provided with additional guide rails. The DTS system consists of the novel components: a DTS divided dual-flange wheel (hereafter referred to as DTS wheel), a DTS on-board module, a DTS dual-groove rail (hereafter referred to as DTS rail) and a DTS rail information system. The core of the DTS system is the divided DTS wheel and the associated DTS on-board module, which can also be used alone. The DTS wheel is 100% compatible with existing railway systems. Moreover, road vehicles can be equipped with the DTS system to be combined with other vehicles into virtual trains on roads equipped with DTS rails. The DTS rail does not need to fulfil a load-carrying function.
