Rolling stock

A transportation system includes a vehicle, a track having a traveling road surface on which the vehicle travels and guide parts which extend to both sides in a width direction of the traveling road surface. The track has a first section in which the vehicle is guided by the guide parts and travels on the track, and a second section in which the vehicle travels on the track by steering of the vehicle.

Transportation system

A rail non-contact vehicle includes wheels, a vehicle main body supported by the wheels, and a steering control system. The steering control system includes a control section configured to control a steering of the wheels in a non-mechanical manner, and a drive section configured to mechanically drive the steering of the wheels. The control section includes a first detector configured to detect 1-dimensional coordinate data of a target route, a steering angle holding section configured to hold a target steering angle corresponding to the 1-dimensional coordinate data, a second detector configured to detect a current deviation between the target route and a current position of the vehicle main body, and a control steering angle calculating section configured to generate a control steering angle corresponding to the current deviation and the target steering angle.
