Following a short discussion of the differences, advantages and fields of application of track bounded and individually moving vehicles, a historical survey is given about the activities undertaken to develop “dual-model” vehicles.The development and use of busses with electronic lateral control based on the use of a pilot cable is described. Due to the high priority of safety special emphasis is laid on: The use of laterally controlled busses in Fürth/West Germany during 1985 is described. This includes work to develop switches and crossings necessary to built net-like structures, and future control strategies to improve the trackfollowing- behaviour of vehicles with electronic lateral control.
