Embodiment Construction

[0023] The invention provides a method and system for integrating magnetic levitation technology in a network guide rail transportation system. The use of magnetic levitation to replace wheels as the primary means of vehicle suspension and thus make automated transportation systems such as PRT systems commercially and economically viable. More specifically, a method and system uses repulsion of permanent magnets, which can be passively levitated with motion, along with induction-based repulsion in a reticulated rail transportation system.

[0024] Generally, reticulated rail transit systems combine levitation by permanent magnets with electrodynamic stabilization and propulsion by linear electric motors. That is, the net rail transit system uses permanent magnets to provide the main lift and electrodynamic repulsion to generate centering forces at most operating speeds, while integrating linear motor functions and electrokinetic centering functions. In addition, the network g...

Abstract

A networked guideway transit system uses permanent magnet repulsion with induction-based repulsion within the networked guideway transport system, which can levitate passively with motion. Magnetic levitation technology is used to replace wheels as the primary means of vehicle suspension. The networked guideway transit system uses the permanent magnets to provide primary lift and uses electrodynamic repulsion to create centering forces at most operational speeds while integrating linear motor functions with the electrodynamic centering function. Further, the networked guideway transit system uses no moving parts in the guideways, which enhances reliability in the guideways.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Patent Application No. 11 / 960,616, filed December 19, 2007, and US Provisional Application No. 60 / 870,880, filed December 20, 2006, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Background technique [0003] The present invention relates to transportation or traffic systems, and more particularly, the present invention relates to reticulated rail transit systems designed to move large numbers of passengers or packages in a flexible manner. [0004] Rail-based transportation systems have been used to transport people or goods. An example is the "Passenger Rapid Transit" (PRT) system. In a PRT system, each vehicle carries only one team or group (or payload) from their origin directly to their destination, starting at a time determined by the team's arrival at its origin. Vehicles are usually computer-guided and move non-stop along the middle of guide rails with diver...
