Multi-articulated vehicle design with horizontal intermediate level and controlled ramps for barrier-free access.
A roof joint uses dampers rotating on a shared axis to guide complex relative movements while minimizing force transmission to supply lines.
Articulated bogies with air suspension reduce lateral forces and wheel wear on intermodal rail vehicles.
Modular lifting spindle drives pivot rail vehicle front hatches, reducing kinematic complexity and maintenance under harsh conditions.
Segmented floor elevation mechanisms adapt rail vehicle boarding levels to different platforms, resolving accessibility trade-offs for wheelchair users.
Integrating a force sensitive resistor into the coupler measures inter-car forces, enabling realistic motor and sound effects.
