Abstract

Recent experiments have shown that wheeled vehicles can be propelled and position controlled by placing them on a special track, which as a result of pneumatic pressure, lifts behind the wheels enough to cause them to roll forwards. It is described how such a system could be applied to moving and controlling vehicles in tunnels and at the same time used the exhausted air, which is free of fumes, for ventilation.
