crazy thinking

The idea which I am thinking mainly relates to guided vehicles which run on rubber tires with guide wheel in the centre and more particularly to GLT.

It mainly helps in

• Avoiding friction between guide wheel and guide rail.
• Avoiding slowing down of vehicle while taking curves (with perfect contact between guide wheel and guide rail)
• Helps in taking Deep curves than normal.
• Passenger convince

The ideology is to provide automated tilting mechanism to wheels.

Sensors are placed on the guide wheel which measures the force and depending upon the force acting on guide wheel the tilting of rubber wheel takes place at the axle of the respective rubber wheel.

When taking a right hand curve the inner side of the left hand side of the guide wheel flange will be subjected to force as it is pushed inward and so the left rubber wheel will be tilted (Top portion inwards and bottom portion Out wards) to some angle depending on the force on guide wheel so that the guide wheel and guide rail will be in perfect contact and this tilting of rubber wheel helps in taking smooth curve and it helps in avoiding slowing down of train during the curve

And vice versa when taking a left hand curve, right end rubber wheel will be tilted for the operation.

Tilting mechanism is restricted to some angle only.

And when one wheel is tilted it s made sure that the other wheel will be in normal position to avoid collapsing of vehicle due to weight imbalance.
