Individual rail transport and the conception of a means of transport using a suspended railway track

Distances to cover are still growing in Polish coal mines. It is not a real issue in terms of material and staff transport, which commonly uses suspended monorails with a friction wheel drive. The problem is how to transfer single people and small loads behind the scheduled times and routes of monorails. The goal of this work was to design and construct an individual mean of transport with its own drive using a monorail track which would meet the requirements of law, safety, mobility and can be used behind the scheduled times of monorails.
