Embodiment Construction

[0090] exist figure 1 In , it can be seen that two identical vehicles 100 and 200 are arranged one behind the other along a reference trace 10 located on the ground. Vehicles 100 and 200 are identical and have:

[0091] a front steering axle 12 of the rigid, semi-rigid or independent-wheel type, which is controlled by the driver of the vehicle; and

[0092] The rear axle 14, which is preferably a rigid, semi-rigid or self-steering axle of the independent wheel type, is servo-controlled by a robot.

[0093] When the front axle and the rear axle of each vehicle are steering axles, the vehicle can have better maneuverability and smaller turning circle, and the stability of the vehicle can also be improved.

[0094] In addition, the space inside each vehicle is divided into ( figure 1 Middle is the right) cab 16 and is located in the middle and rear ( figure 1 A space 18 for carrying passengers and provided with one or more automatic doors 20 .

[0095] Each vehicle 100 and 2...

Abstract

The present invention concerns a self-contained wheeled vehicle (100; 200) equipped with a driving cab (16), a passenger and / or object transporting compartment (18), a hitching method, an unhitching method, as well as the resulting train of vehicles. The vehicle comprises at least one front steering axle (12), a retractable hitching system (22) including at least one first part (221) located at the front of the vehicle (100; 200) and a second part (221) located at the rear of the vehicle (100; 200), the first part (221) of one vehicle being capable of co-operating with the second part (222) of another vehicle when the hitching system (22) is deployed, so as to connect the vehicles forming together a coupling system and means for protecting said coupling system, being fit for the unfolding position at which the coupling system is surrounded by the protecting device from the folding position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an autonomous wheeled vehicle provided with a cab and space for carrying passengers / goods, a method of coupling together at least two such vehicles, and a A train of vehicles; the invention also relates to a method of disengaging said train of vehicles enabling said train of vehicles to be fully or partially disengaged. [0002] The invention also relates to a method of managing a network of vehicles using such vehicles for carrying people and / or goods, a method of managing a group of vehicles of the same type, and a method of carrying passengers and / or goods using a group of vehicles of the same type Methods. Background technique [0003] Traditionally, in order to carry passengers or goods by road, vehicles of different specifications are used to meet different demands for the volume of passengers or goods. The term "article" is intended to cover anything transportable, which may be in solid, liquid, gaseous, lump o...
