Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008141346A1] A transport system for medium-range distances has a guideway with at least two entry/exit points (1) through which driven cars (4 - 8), having a horizontal section in the form of a circle- or ring-sector, abut each other in a form-fit and are continuously driven or moved. The entry/exit points (1) are connected in both driving directions to a guideway made up typically of rails (2, 3), along which the cars (4 - 8) can be moved and controlled individually by a drive. The speed of movement along the guideway is not dependent on the speed at which the cars move through the entry/exit points (1). The transport system combines the advantages of continuously moving conveyor belts with the advantages of high-speed transport railway systems.
