Patent ID: 8328111

Claim:
A roadway system for model vehicles having an energy-independent propulsion, a steering axle, and a magnet in a magnetic guidance operable to follow a driving wire laid directly beneath a roadway surface, said system comprising: a plurality of roadway segments; each said roadway segment having a support surface proximate an external support and said roadway surface opposite said support surface for supporting said model vehicles during a use of said system; said roadway surface and said support surface being spaced from each other and defining a thickness direction therebetween, wherein said roadway segments being approximately 1 mm-5 mm in said thickness direction; at least one groove on said roadway surface shaped to securely receive said driving wire and having a diameter of 0.1 to 1.0 mm; and said plurality of elongate roadway segments are selected from a group of roadway segments including curved roadway segments, flexible roadway segments and special-purpose roadway segments; said curved roadway segments include at least one curved segment having a two part operative groove; a first part of said two part operative groove disposed from a middle of one said connection edge outwardly into a region of an outside curve portion of said curved segment and back again to said middle to said middle of opposing other connection edge of said curved segment; a second part of said two part operative groove disposed aligned with a curved path along an outside curved region of said curved segment: and a portion of said two part operative groove combining along a common path parallel to said outside curved region proximate a middle section of said curved segment.
