ABSTRACT:
A switching station for a people mover rotary guideway switch. The switching station routes a transit car from an entry guideway path to either of two exit guideway paths. The station includes a guideway section structured at each of its entry and exit points to provide a predetermined guideway configuration including a pair of spaced tire running surfaces for transit cars. The guideway section has an elongated switch pit located under a reference plane through the tire running services that extends longitudinally along and between the tire running services. An elongated rotary switch frame is disposed in the switch pit and assembled with the guideway section for alignment with the guideway paths. The frame is provided with guidebeam, electric rail and tire path structure on opposite sides of the frame which are compatible with the guideway configuration to route a car from the entry path to the first and second exit paths, respectively. The switch frame has one side aligned with the entry guideway path and the first exit guideway path in a first frame position with its other side facing downwardly and stored vertically below the reference plane. The switch frame has its other side aligned with the entry guideway path and second exit guideway path in a second frame position with its one side facing downwardly and stored vertically below the reference plane.
