TRANSPORT COMPLEX AND METHOD OF CONTROL OF MULTI-LINK VEHICLES Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: transport. SUBSTANCE: transport complex has runway and multi-link vehicle consisting of driving link and articulated drive links, each provided servo mechanism to control wheels. Runway has magnetic matter consisting of particles uniformly distributed over entire coating of runway in width. Driving link has recording magnetic head installed over and each driven link has reading magnetic heads connected to servo mechanism control device. Method of control of multi-link vehicle is implemented as follows: information about position of driving link is recorded on runway and then is read out on driven links and is used to control driven link wheels. Recorded is information characterizing the position of fixed point of driving and read out is done in fixed points of driven link. EFFECT: provision of accurate following of vehicle driven links over driving link trajectory. 6 cl, 5 dwg
