Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2045164A1] The device has force elements (13, 14) e.g. permanent magnets, arranged at a rail-bounded vehicle (10) and equipped between the rail-bounded vehicle and a rail switch. The device is cooperated with the rail switch, which is provided for passive guidance such that guiding of the rail-bounded vehicle takes place depending on force acting on the rail-bounded vehicle. The device is equipped for preset guidance such that the force elements are provided for exerting a permanent force to cause the preset guidance at the rail switch. An independent claim is also included for a rail switch for passive guidance.
