A rubber wheel guided trolley for guided buses
Today, there are two manufacturers of rubber tyred guided cars, namely, Raul, heavy industries in France, Translohr, and Canadian Bombardier's light rail transit system. Both of the conductive modes are overhead cables, collector poles or pantograph. The guide rail is arranged in the groove of the road surface, and does not affect the operation of other automobiles, and the guide wheel of the trolley car moves the guide rail in a different form. Translohr holds the guide rail with a guide wheel with two blocks of 45 degrees tilt. The bombardier uses a pulley wheel as the guide wheel and is attached to the rail vertically. Although there is no evidence to prove which rail technology is dominant, but both have occurred in the operation of several derailment accident.
A direction guided bus is the introduction of rail derived from railway track, a single rail and vehicle is located in the central wheel is matched with the moving direction to guide the vehicle, but the vehicle is still pushing by the coaxial wheel and guide wheel as
The role of the rubber wheel guided trolley is between the guiding bus and the tram. It has a smaller steering radial, a slope of 13%, and a lower operating noise than the tram. Due to the need to install tracks only a single rail, than the need for dual track traditional tram on the road is less affected.
