Abstract: Invention herewith described refers to the transportation system based on an intelligent electric cabin. The transportation system based on an intelligent electric cabin represents a modern transport without the driver. The passenger enters the cabin, selects the station, presses the button and the cabin by itself, without waiting and stopping, on a rail drives to that station. The lines consist of rails, which can be placed above any terrain, in urban and rural environment. The system can be used instead of the cable supported transport systems, the metro and other urban lines. Building of this system is low-cost, easy and quick. For the cost of one kilometre of the metro system, 10 000 km of SPIEK network could be built. The rails are set high, so the cabins do not interfere with traffic, and nothing interferes with them. At the stations, there are always cabins because they are automatically called and released as required. The network uses 220 V AC. The system does not pollute the environment and helps to reduce CO2 emissions. All categories of passengers are transported cheaply, comfortably, quickly and safely. Even with only 3% of capacity, the system provides a profit and returns on investment several times already in the first year. These results are achieved because the cabin transports passengers from station to station without stopping and delay. The transportation system with the intelligent electric cabin consists of the intelligent electric cabin (1) poles (48), consoles (49) rail in a line of (59), leftward routers (54) and rightward routers (55), station rails (57), turnout (50 and 52), couplings (51 and 53) station approach lines (56), station outgoing lines (58), switch loop (140), transport network branches (141), cabin (1) on the line approaching the station (57), cabin (1) on the station outgoing line (58), cabins (1) on the line of the transport network (59) going from left to right and those that go from right to left and cabins (1) standing at the station (57). The transportation system with the intelligent electric cabin operates in the way that all elements in the lower assembly of the transportation network there is a groove (64) which allows the cabin to hang on two ball bearings (15) and move forward, leftwards or rightwards, in the upper assembly of the turnout (50 and 52) and the rail there are a pulsator (67, 80 and 81), contacts and switches for initiating the work of the intellectual system. These elements provide signals to initiate a pilot contact (100) to start the cabin (1), to accelerate it, to drive it on the line, to turn it to the left or to the right where and when necessary, to slow it down and stop it, then if necessary, to send the cabin to the station ahead if there are no other cabins there, to call cabins needed on an empty station, to make the cabin to leave the station if superfluous. All these signals are received and transmitted by switches and contacts located in the contact cap (6) on the keel head (5). The buttons on the control plate (101) for the selection of stations, allow the cabin to run from the station by pressing a button, they also enable the pilot contact to recognize the turnout where the cabin has to turn right, the timer to count (bypass) the stations on the right branch of the network when the selected station is located on the left branch of the network. The electric motors (10) start the cabin, and drive and stop it. The intelligent system or the timer unite all the system operation.
