ABSTRACT:
A traffic system for track-guided vehicles with steerable wheels, in which a guide groove, guide web or the like, which determines the track and is adapted to be mechanically detected by the vehicles, is provided on the side of the road and a guide lever detecting the guide groove course is provided on the side of the vehicle, whereby the movements of the guide lever are adapted to be transmitted indirectly to the steerable wheels by interconnection of a force and movement transmission mechanism supplied with auxiliary energy; the guide lever which is pivotally connected at the axle member of the vehicle having the steerable wheels is deflectable within a small angular space that corresponds only to a fraction of the maximum deflection angle of the steerable wheels while additionally all parts that participate in the force flow of the movement transmission of the guide lever between the guide groove, on the one hand, and the axle member, on the other, are constructed so strong that the vehicle can be form-lockingly track-guided in an operationally safe manner and/or can be laterally forced off by way of the same, even without deflection of the steerable wheels; the force and movement transmission member is thereby designed for at least partial integrating behavior or proportional behavior.
