More Information
Summary:A vehicle switching device for a guided transportation system is disclosed. The device includes an axle with its central portion secured to a vehicle support structure. First and second structures deployably mount right and left vehicle switching devices on the axle. A first deployment structure is connected between the right and the left vehicle switching devices for spacing the two devices either in a first condition, a second condition or a third condition with respect to one another. A second deployment structure is connected between the first deployment structure and the axle for changing the position of the first deployment structure with respect to the axle. The operation of the deployment structures is effective to deploy the right, or the left, or neither of the vehicle switching devices.
