Abstract
A prefabricated module () to be used in constructing a track for an urban transport vehicle. The module comprises an integral carrier structure () made of concrete and comprising two side sills () having an upper surface (), used as a driving pathway for the vehicle wheels, and connecting crossbars () which connect and retain the sills substantially parallel to each other. The lower surfaces () of the sills and crossbars are ground-bearing surfaces. A guiding rail section (), mounted on the carrier structure, is preferably symmetrical, has an I section and a lower portion coated with a liner material (). The modules, whether rectilinear or curved, are to be placed on an existing road layout or in a trench with a compacted bottom, and are connected one after the other to form the driving track.
