摘要 Generally and not exclusively, there is disclosed a system and a method for towing (pushing or pulling) a roadway vehicle on a road by a towing apparatus (120). The towing apparatus (120) is coupled to a roadway guideway (150) displaced generally above the surface of the roadway. In an embodiment, the system includes an apparatus (130) to couple a vehicle to the roadway guideway (150), a force generation unit (318) to move the coupled vehicle along the roadway guideway (150), and a braking system (471) to decelerate the apparatus and a coupled vehicle. In an embodiment, the apparatus includes a head unit (126) including coupling components (445 450; 710 720) to separately couple or not couple the vehicle to one of multiple separate components of the roadway guideway (150), so that the towing apparatus (120), and therefore a towed vehicle, can switch roadway guideway sections by coupling to one or another component of the roadway guideway (150).
