Provided is a vehicle including the following: a vehicle body having side walls on both sides in a width direction that is perpendicular to the direction of travel, and having an expanded portion between the upper end and the lower end of the side wall, the expanded portion being expanded further outward in the width direction than the upper end and the lower end; and a seat provided in the vehicle body and having a seatback along the side wall and a seat surface that extends inward in the width direction of the vehicle body from the seatback, the portion of the rear surface of the seatback that faces the side wall and that protrudes the farthest towards the side wall being disposed in a position facing the expanded portion of an in-vehicle-side lateral surface of the side wall.

Vehicle

A guide track includes a guide rail having a guide groove opened upward in which guide wheels are inserted, and formed with guide surfaces for causing each of the guide wheels to roll at both sides of a traveling course in a width direction; conductor rails that are placed at both sides of an outside of the traveling course in the width direction with respect to the guide groove to perform contact electricity supply by pressing a power collection shoe of a power collector of a track-based vehicle; a first insulator that supports the conductor rails with respect to the guide rail; and insulation plates that are provided at both sides of the conductor rail in the width direction, and are provided in parallel to the conductor rail and in parallel to a pressing direction of the power collection shoe.

Guide track for track-based vehicle, and traffic system

A guide track (A) includes a guide rail () having a guide groove () opened upward in which the pair of guide wheels () inserted, and is formed with a pair of guide surfaces () for causing each of the pair of guide wheels () to roll at both sides of the traveling course in a width direction; conductor rails () that are placed at both sides of the outside of the traveling course in the width direction with respect to the guide groove () to perform contact electricity supply by pressing a power collection shoe () of a power collector () of the track-based vehicle; a first insulator () that is formed of an insulation material and supports the conductor rails () with respect to the guide rail; and insulation plates () serving as insulation materials that are provided at both sides of the conductor rail () in the width direction, and are provided in parallel to the conductor rail () and in parallel to a pressing direction of the power collection shoe () so as to prevent a short circuit due to contact with the conductor rail () in a vertical direction.

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 guide rail type vehicle of the present invention comprises a guide frame provided so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis perpendicular to the floor surface of a vehicle body; a plurality of guide wheels which forms gripping pairs aligned in the vehicle width direction so as to be able to grip a center guide rail, and which is arranged in the front-and-rear direction of the guide frame; equalizing links supporting two guide wheels, which are adjacent to each other in the front-and-rear direction, so as to be able to roll about a guide wheel shaft parallel to the rotation axis, and connecting the two guide wheels as a connected pair and being attached to the guide frame so as to be rotatable about a link shaft parallel to the rotation axis; and a steering link mechanism changing the steering angle of tires.

Guide rail type vehicle

An air conditioner of a track system vehicle includes two air conditioning units disposed in parallel in a horizontal direction and mounted on the roof of a vehicle, a plurality of outlets of two air conditioning units facing a vehicle center side, a first duct connecting two air conditioning units, and a second duct which bypasses to the vehicle ends.

Air conditioner of track system vehicle

An obstacle-removing device having brushes that can be retracted when the device is at the rear side in the traveling direction of the vehicle. The device includes a vertical frame positioned to the leading end in the traveling direction of the vehicle, and a lifting/lowering device attached to the vertical frame to lift and lower a brush holder having brushes and attached to a vertically movable member which can be lifted and lowered by the lifting/lowering device. The brush holder is pivotally attached to the vertically movable member such that the brush holder is tilting forward when the brushes held by the brush holder contact the running surface to perform an obstacle-removing operation.
