GLT

tilting wheels in guided mode

doppalapudi's picture

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.
