METHOD OF FUNCTIONING AND DESIGN OF OVERHEAD MONORAIL TRANSPORT SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: high-speed monorail systems. SUBSTANCE: to equalize inertia forces which cause deflection of passenger body to vehicle body walls, vehicle body is rotated around axis parallel to vector of linear velocity and/or axis parallel to normal to vector, location of axes being taken between transport beam and vehicle body center of mass. System has transport beam and vehicle placed on beam and consisting of running frame, body and device providing rotation of body around axles of hinge joint orientated in longitudinal and transverse directions of vehicle body and fixing in preset position. EFFECT: provision of effective compensation for inertia forces acting onto passenger. 60 cl, 20 dwg
