ABSTRACT:
A traffic system consisting of vehicle and road, in particular for the public local passenger traffic, with automatically cross-controllable vehicles, with a track-determining guide device extending along a desired track and with a cross-positional controller in the vehicle detecting the course of the guide device and acting on the steerable wheels of the vehicle; for purposes of catching a vehicle that deviates from the track, an emergency safety channel delimited by vertical side webs is provided along the road between the support wheels of the vehicle, whose width corresponds to the maximum permissive cross-positional tolerance of the vehicle on the road without lateral collision; at least one emergency safety bolt which is normally taken along in the raised position and is adapted to be rapidly lowerable, is provided centrally of the vehicle at the bottom side thereof; the safety bolt is able to support itself at the side webs of the emergency safety channel while feelers provided at the vehicle on both sides thereof cooperate with a triggering installation which responds in case of an external collision of a feeler and fires the emergency safety bolt into the emergency safety channel thereby to catch the vehicle.
