Abstract

The invention relates to a car body 10 for a rail vehicle 1 with a maximum speed of more than 250 km / h, comprising a plurality of entrances 12, characterized in that a first longitudinal side L1 of the car body 10 has two entrances 12.1, 12.2, which are assigned to a single entrance space 20.

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a car body, in particular for a rail vehicle with a maximum speed of more than 250 km / h, comprising a plurality of entrances.

[0002] The invention further relates to a rail vehicle with a maximum speed of more than 250 km / h, comprising at least one such car body or one further developed as described below.

[0003] In passenger rail vehicles, wheelchair spaces are provided, which, according to the TSI (Technical Information System), must be accessible via dedicated entrances in the immediate vicinity. If these entrances are disrupted, wheelchair users will no longer be able to travel.

[0004] In local and regional transport vehicles currently in operation, there is usually only one autonomous wheelchair-accessible entrance.

[0005] High-speed rail travel (speeds over 250 km / h) typically requires large wheels, necessitating a correspondingly high floor height (>1150 mm above the top of the rail). This has previously precluded autonomous wheelchair-accessible boarding. Today, wheelchair boarding is achieved either via a platform-side boarding aid (platform lift) or a lift installed at a door in the vehicle. These boarding options are not autonomous and therefore require personnel.

[0006] Wheelchair-accessible entrances for high-speed vehicles with high floors above the running gear have already been described: e.g. in DE 10 2012 204 304 A1, DE 10 2017 201 445 A1.

[0007] What they all have in common is that there is no redundancy in the event of a disruption to one boarding point, or this is only possible through arranged boarding points with appropriately long intervals and a corresponding reduction in seating.

[0008] Based on this, the object of the invention is to provide a car body that enables reliable and autonomous boarding for people with impaired mobility.

[0009] This object is achieved by the car body of claim 1 and the rail vehicle of claim 17.

[0010] Advantageous embodiments and further developments are the subject of the respective subclaims.

[0011] According to the invention, a car body, in particular for a rail vehicle with a maximum speed of more than 250 km / h, is provided, comprising a plurality of entrances. A first longitudinal side of the car body has two entrances, which are assigned to a single entrance area.

[0012] Furthermore, according to the invention, a rail vehicle with a maximum speed of more than 250 km / h comprising at least one such car body or one further developed as described below is provided.

[0013] The maximum speed of the rail vehicle is preferably more than 280 km / h, furthermore preferably more than 300 km / h, in particular more than 330 km / h.

[0014] The rail vehicle may be designed as a high-speed multiple unit.

[0015] At such speeds, it was previously impossible to provide autonomous entry for people with limited mobility. The higher the top speed of a rail vehicle, the greater the trade-off between low entry and high speed, which the present invention resolves.

[0016] This design ensures that a large part of the rail vehicle can be constructed according to the previously common design of a high-speed multiple unit with distributed traction.

[0017] The boarding area is a space or area within the car body that a passenger enters after boarding. When a passenger enters the car body, they must first pass through the boarding area to access other areas of the car body.

[0018] The invention is based on a car body design that allows for an entrance to be opened even in the center of the car within the given clearance gauge. The vehicle width must be selected so that the opened door does not collide with infrastructure such as the platform edge. If this requirement is met, two entrances can be arranged in the area of ​​the center of the car body or close to the center of the car body, providing autonomous, redundant wheelchair-accessible entrances in a compact arrangement with short paths and no or only a very minimal reduction in seating capacity.

[0019] The advantage is that if one entrance is disrupted, the wheelchair user can independently reach and use the redundant entrance in the immediate vicinity and, for example, does not have to walk long distances (possibly with the assistance of train attendants) to an adjacent carriage or use aids to board or alight at a second entrance door that wheelchair users cannot use independently. The entire wheelchair-accessible route in the vehicle is limited to the distance from the entrance to the facilities relevant to the wheelchair user, such as a seat, restroom, and, if applicable, catering areas. An additional wheelchair-accessible route to a redundant entrance, for example, located in an adjacent carriage, is not required.

[0020] In an advantageous embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that a second longitudinal side of the car body has two entrances which are assigned to the entry area.

[0021] This ensures that the advantages listed above are also applied to the second long side of the car body.

[0022] In an advantageous further development of the car body, it can be provided that the two entrances on the first longitudinal side of the car body and / or the second longitudinal side of the car body are each arranged in the area of ​​the car body center.

[0023] The entrances may be arranged symmetrically with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the car body. It is also possible for the entrances to be arranged asymmetrically with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the car body.

[0024] In an advantageous embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that the two entrances of the first longitudinal side of the car body are arranged next to one another in a longitudinal direction of the car body without the interposition of a side window and / or the two entrances of the second longitudinal side of the car body are arranged next to one another in a longitudinal direction of the car body without the interposition of a side window.

[0025] This ensures that the entrances are arranged so close to each other that a person with impaired mobility has redundant access to both entrances.

[0026] In an advantageous embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that a first distance in the longitudinal direction between the entrances of the first longitudinal side is smaller than the width (B) of the entrances and / or a second distance in the longitudinal direction between the entrances of the second longitudinal side is smaller than the width of the entrances.

[0027] This ensures that the entrances are arranged so close to each other that a person with impaired mobility has redundant access to both entrances.

[0028] In an advantageous embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that the entry area has a floor height of 760 mm to 900, preferably 810 to 900 mm, further preferably 830 mm to 880 mm.

[0029] This ensures that the floor height of the boarding area deviates only slightly from the level of the platform.

[0030] The car body thus has a simplified entry via a smaller or no height difference between the entry area and the platform, making it easier for a person with impaired mobility to pass through the entrance when boarding or alighting from the car body.

[0031] This makes it possible to provide a car body for a rail vehicle which has a maximum speed of more than 250 km / h, preferably more than 280 km / h, further preferably more than 300 km / h, in particular more than 330 km / h, and at the same time allows easy entry.

[0032] At such speeds, it was previously impossible to provide autonomous entry for people with limited mobility. The higher the top speed of a high-speed train, the greater the trade-off between low entry and high speed, which is resolved here.

[0033] In an advantageous embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that the car body is equipped with at least one passenger compartment which has a floor height which is greater than the floor height of the entry area.

[0034] This makes it possible for the car body to have a floor height similar to that of the car bodies adjacent to the car body.

[0035] It is also possible to provide an entry area that is lower than the passenger compartment. This reduces the height difference between the entry area and the door sill.

[0036] The passenger compartment has a number of passenger seats.

[0037] In an advantageous embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that the floor height of the at least one passenger compartment is high-floor and preferably amounts to 1150 mm to 1300 mm, furthermore preferably to 1200 mm to 1250 mm, and / or that the floor height of the at least one passenger compartment is medium-floor and preferably amounts to 1050 mm to 1130 mm, furthermore preferably to 1070 mm to 1130 mm, in particular to 1100 mm.

[0038] This ensures that the passenger compartment has a level that allows for the installation of terminal bogies under the car body. It is also possible for the passenger compartment to have the same floor height as an adjacent car body.

[0039] In an advantageous embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that operating elements for operating the entrances are arranged on one long side of the car body between the two entrances on the inside and / or outside.

[0040] The control elements can be used to operate a door, for example.

[0041] This ensures that both controls can be reached simultaneously by a person with impaired mobility. If one entrance is broken, the other entrance on the respective long side can be conveniently used.

[0042] In an advantageous embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that entrances have a door sill height of 750 mm to 870 mm, preferably 780 mm to 840 mm, further preferably 800-820 mm.

[0043] This eliminates the need for steps to create a height difference between the platform and the entrance. Instead, passengers can enter and exit the rail vehicle without having to use steps.

[0044] This improves boarding comfort, increasing customer friendliness. Both aspects increase the cost-effectiveness of the high-speed train. Furthermore, the legislative demand for greater inclusion is met by enabling fully autonomous PRM boarding.

[0045] In an advantageous embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that the door threshold height of the entrances deviates from the floor height of the entry area and that entry ramps are designed to overcome the height difference.

[0046] Each entrance is assigned an entry ramp.

[0047] This ensures that people with impaired mobility can easily move from the door threshold into the entry area and from the entry area to the door threshold.

[0048] The boarding ramps are designed according to TSI PRM (Technical Specification for Interoperability for "Persons with Reduced Mobility").

[0049] Where necessary, these ramps are shallow enough to be used by wheelchair users.

[0050] In an advantageous embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that the car body has at least one family toilet and / or large-capacity toilet and / or at least one bicycle parking area and / or at least one family and toddler area and / or at least one wheelchair space and / or at least one stroller space.

[0051] This ensures that the toilet requirements of families with children or people with reduced mobility are taken into account in a separate area.

[0052] This also ensures that the needs of cyclists or train passengers with bicycles are taken into account in a separate area.

[0053] This also ensures that the needs of families with children are taken into account in a separate area.

[0054] In an advantageous embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that at least one ramp is formed between the entry area and the at least one passenger compartment.

[0055] This ensures that people with impaired mobility can easily get from the entry area into the passenger compartment.

[0056] The at least one ramp that bridges the height difference is preferably designed in accordance with TSI PRM (Technical Specification for Interoperability for "Persons with Reduced Mobility").

[0057] Where necessary, these ramps are shallow enough to be used by wheelchair users.

[0058] In an advantageous embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that the car body has an aisle with an aisle width of at least 800 mm, preferably of at least 850 mm.

[0059] This ensures that there is always sufficient aisle width for a wheelchair user.

[0060] In an advantageous embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that the entry area is free of passenger seats.

[0061] This creates an entry area that is free of obstacles, so that people with impaired mobility can pass through the entry area as easily as possible.

[0062] In an advantageous embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that the two entrances of the first longitudinal side are arranged next to one another in a longitudinal direction of the car body without the interposition of passenger seats and / or the two entrances of the second longitudinal side are arranged next to one another in a longitudinal direction of the car body without the interposition of passenger seats.

[0063] This ensures that, in the event that one of the two entrances is defective, all areas of the entry area can be easily reached by a person with impaired mobility.

[0064] In the design of the car body, it can be provided that the car body has two terminal bogies.

[0065] This makes it possible to achieve high wheel loads, so that correspondingly long car bodies can be used.

[0066] A low-floor area has the lowest floor height of the car body or rail vehicle according to the invention.

[0067] A mid-floor area is an area that has a floor height that is higher than the floor height of a low-floor area and lower than the floor height of a high-floor area.

[0068] A high-floor area is an area that has a floor height that is higher than the floor height of a low-floor area.

[0069] The rail vehicle is preferably a single-deck train.

[0070] All heights refer to the level of the track, i.e. the point at which the wheels of the car body or rail vehicle are in contact with the track.

[0071] The design of the rail vehicle may provide for the rail vehicle to have the following parameters: Car body length: 14-28m Bogie center distance: 14-19.5m Train length: 150-400m Maximum speed: 250-400 km / h

[0072] The invention will be explained below using an embodiment with reference to the drawings.

[0073] It shows: Fig. 1 is a schematic sectional view in plan view of a car body according to the invention; and Fig. 2 is a schematic side view of the car body according to the invention.

[0074] Fig. 1 shows a schematic sectional view in plan view of a car body 10 according to the invention.

[0075] The car body 10 is particularly suitable for a rail vehicle 1 with a maximum speed of more than 250 km / h and comprises a plurality of entrances 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4.

[0076] The rail vehicle 1 has a maximum speed of more than 250 km / h and comprises at least one car body 10.

[0077] A first longitudinal side L 1 of the car body 10 has two entrances 12.1, 12.2, which are assigned to a single entry space 20.

[0078] A second longitudinal side L 2 of the car body 10 has two entrances 12.3, 12.4, which are assigned to the entry area 20.

[0079] The entry space 20 is designed such that two entrances 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4 on each long side L 1 , L 2 lead into the entry space 20.

[0080] Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation in side view of the car body 10 according to the invention.

[0081] As from the Fig. 2 (and also from the Fig. 1 ), the two entrances 12.1, 12.2 of the first longitudinal side L 1 are arranged next to each other in a longitudinal direction L of the car body 10 without the interposition of a side window 14.

[0082] From the Fig. 1 It can be seen that the two entrances 12.3, 12.4 of the second longitudinal side L 2 are arranged next to each other in a longitudinal direction L of the car body 10 without the interposition of a side window 14.

[0083] A first distance A 1 in the longitudinal direction L between the entrances 12.1, 12.2 of the first longitudinal side L 1 is smaller than the width B of the entrances 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4.

[0084] A second distance A 2 in the longitudinal direction L between the entrances 12.3, 12.4 of the second longitudinal side L 2 is smaller than the width B of the entrances 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4.

[0086] The car body 10 has at least one passenger compartment 30 which has a floor height FO F that is greater than the floor height FO E of the entry area 20.

[0087] As from Fig. 2 It can be seen that the floor height FO F of at least one passenger compartment 30 is high-floor or medium-floor and is therefore arranged higher than the entry area.

[0088] It can be provided that the floor height FO F of the at least one passenger compartment 30 is high-floor and preferably from 1150 mm to 1300 mm, further preferably from 1200 mm to 1250 mm, and / or that the floor height FO F of the at least one passenger compartment 30 is medium-floor and preferably from 1050 mm to 1130 mm, further preferably from 1070 mm to 1130 mm, in particular from 1100 mm.

[0089] As from the Fig. 2 As can be seen, operating elements 16 for operating the entrances 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4 are arranged on one or both long sides L 1 , L 2 of the car body 10 between the two entrances 12.1, 12.2; 12.3, 12.4 on the inside and / or outside.

[0090] The entrances 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4 have a door threshold height HT of 750mm to 870mm, preferably 780mm to 840mm, further preferably 800-820mm.

[0091] The door threshold height 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4 of the entrances deviates from the floor height FO E of the entry area 20 and entry ramps 22 are designed to overcome the height difference.

[0092] The car body has at least one family toilet and / or large toilet 40 and / or at least one bicycle parking area 50 and / or at least one family and toddler area 60 and / or at least one wheelchair space 70 and / or at least one stroller space 80.
