DUAL-MODE VEHICLE, TRAVELING METHOD OF DUAL-MODE VEHICLE, WHEEL LOAD CONTROLLING METHOD OF DUAL-MODE VEHICLE, STRUCTURE BODY FOR TRAVELING MODE CONVERSION, AND DUAL- MODE TRAFFIC SYSTEM

摘要

A dual-mode vehicle which is capable of running on both a road and a track and can contribute to construction of a "dual-mode transportation system," which is highly expected in the future, and is remarkably inexpensive in the vehicle costs. The vehicle includes: front and rear tires attached to the front and rear part of a vehicle via axles; drive wheels for running on a track, which are attached to the same axles as those of the rear tires; andfront and rear guide wheels, which are made to be raised and provided at the front and rear parts of a vehicle, for running on a track.
