The present invention relates to the field of automated transportation systems. Particularly, it relates to a transportation system comprising guide-ways or tracks, vehicle units [100, 100a] with wheel-axle assembly for switching of vehicles from primary [20] to secondary track [22] on changing trajectory to maintain same vertical plane and the method. It comprises of central controller [101], vehicle chassis with main wheels [2W], guide wheels [4iw, 4ow], guide blocks [05, 06], actuator [09]. The chassis [30] has set of contractible axles fixed to wheels [2W] to enables movement from primary [20] to secondary track [22] by withdrawing the wheels [2W] from expanded position [C] to contracted position [C] or vice-versa. The forces required to compress the spring loaded axle axis is derived from inner guide wheels rolling over the edge flange [26] when swung using single linear motor actuator [09] and related electronic controls.
