This report describes supporting analyses for the investigation of generic high speed ground transportation (HSGT) vehicles which are suspended from an overhead guideway. Various problems are considered which apply to the design and operation of mass transportation vehicles which would use the overhead monorail principle for operation in the 150 to 250 mph speed regime. These vehicles and the necessary elevated guideway structure comprise the suspended vehicle system (SVS), which is an alternative to overriding HSGT systems, such as the tracked air cushion vehicle (TACV) or high speed rail (HSR) systems. The unique feature of the SVS is the vehicle pendulous suspension used to achieve large cabin bank angles (up to 25 degrees) in order to achieve high speeds on curved guideway alignments.
