Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1650097A1] The system has a rail (10) supporting and guiding a wheel (2) of a guided vehicle e.g. metro train. The rail has a longitudinal slot (14) dividing a rotating surface (120) into two rotating tracks (12, 12`) separated by the slot. The slot receives a central flange extending radially with respect to a wheel surface (40) and dividing the surface (40) into tread surfaces (4, 4`) having a revolution symmetry around a rotation axis (X - X`). The surfaces (4, 4`) are separated by the flange, are inclined with respect to the axis and come closer together by moving away from the flange.
