  • The Design and Technology of Modern Light Rail Vehicles
    MODERN LIGHT RAIL VEHICLES Fit for Purpose? The Design and Technology of Modern Light Rail Vehicles Tony Prescott The objective of this paper is to describe the major technology issues By the 1940s, development of the tram came to a halt in the US and of modern light rail vehicles, not only for the layperson, but also for Britain, once two of the leaders in world tram systems. However, in decision-makers who have to select light rail vehicles for city systems Europe design improvements continued unabated, often using PCC from an array of dazzling and usually superficial publicity for different technology, and a large tram industry thrived, particularly in Germany, the brands and models. It is important to go behind the gloss to see a few former Soviet Union and what is now the Czech Republic. Between 1945 facts more clearly. and the 1990s, the Czechs produced some 23,000 trams, largely based To most people, modern light rail vehicles, also known as trams, are, on face on PCC technology, the former Soviet Union some 15,000 and Germany value, pretty-much standard-design, low-floor articulated rail vehicles that some 8,000. Smaller numbers were developed and/or produced in some epitomise the modern renaissance of trams in city streets. But behind the other countries such as Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden and Poland. By façade of the elegant designs and glossy publicity there is a technological comparison, the few other world countries operating trams during this scenario still being played out, accompanied by a lot of dubious claims, and period, such as Australia and Canada, produced very small numbers using all is not quite as simple and straightforward as it seems.

  • Véhicule Automatique Léger
    Véhicule automatique léger Véhicule automatique léger (VAL, deutsch: „leichtes automatisches Fahrzeug“) ist ein besonders leicht gebautes, fahrerloses, spurgeführtes Personennahverkehrsmittel, das sowohl als Peoplemover z. B. in Flughäfen als auch als Stadtschnellbahnsystem eingesetzt wird. Ursprünglich von Matra entwickelt, ist VAL heute ein Produkt von Siemens Mobility. Inhaltsverzeichnis Technik VAL 208 (links) und VAL 206 der Neoval Métro Lille Cityval Airval Installationen Fahrzeugtypen Projekte Galerie Siehe auch Einzelnachweise Weblinks Technik Die Trag- und Antriebsfunktion wird durch gummibereifte Räder auf einem Betonfahrweg ausgeübt. Seitliche Führungsräder rollen an seitlich angebrachten Führungsschienen entlang. An Stellen, wo die seitlichen Führungsschienen unterbrochen sind, wie beispielsweise in Weichen, übernehmen Führungsschienen in der Fahrwegmitte die seitliche Führung. Die Val 206 der Metro Toulouse auf der Weichenfunktion wird durch eine einzelne Führungsschienen übernehmen die Linie A Zunge zwischen den Führungsschienen seitliche Führung in einer Weiche – realisiert, in etwa vergleichbar mit einer hier OrlyVAL. beweglichen Herzstückspitze in Weichen von Zweischienenbahnen. Das System basiert auf einer Erfindung von Professor Robert Gabillard (Université Lille Nord de France) und wurde Anfang der 1980er Jahre von der Firma Matra Transport entwickelt. Die Abteilung Verkehrstechnik von Matra gehört seit 2001 vollständig zu Siemens Transportation Systems. Erstmals angewendet wurde das VAL-System 1983 bei der damals neu gebauten Métro Lille. Es eignet sich aufgrund der geringeren Kosten besonders gut für mittelgroße Städte. Das Akronym bedeutete ursprünglich Villeneuve-d’Ascq à Lille (deutsch: „Villeneuve-d’Ascq nach Lille“) und bezeichnete die beiden Endpunkte der ersten Strecke. Erst später wurde daraus véhicule automatique léger. Wie auch bei einigen anderen fahrerlosen Personenbeförderungssystemen sind die Bahnsteige beim VAL-System durch transparente Glaswände mit eingelassenen Bahnsteigtüren von den Gleisen getrennt.

  • Bombardier Test Project Involves Induction Technology Page 1 of 3
    Bombardier test project involves induction technology Page 1 of 3 Bombardier test project involves induction technology BY FRANÇOIS SHALOM, THE GAZETTE JANUARY 10, 2013 An artist’s conception of Bombardier’s new electric bus which has its battery recharged through a capacitor under bus stops. MONTREAL — There’s no budget, no timeline, no proven technology, much less shovels in the ground or even a signed contract. But it’s substantially more than an idle dream. Montreal’s Île-Ste-Hélène is scheduled to be the North American test site this year for Bombardier Inc.’s Primove pilot project, a technology that is being tested at four sites in Germany, where the firm’s rail division is based. Primove’s mandate is to develop electric mass-transit propulsion systems, but not the vehicles themselves. Intended to bypass the conventional notion of electric buses and trolley buses powered by cumbersome batteries, Primove rests on an inductive transfer of power from ground-based electrical power sources to very small batteries placed under, not in, the bus. Sensors on the vehicles would store the energy emitted by the electro-magnetic field, but only in small quantities, feeding the bus or trolley sufficiently to reach the next power source a short distance away. The system can charge while the vehicle is in motion or at rest. http://www.montrealgazette.com/story_print.html?id=7803624&sponsor= 2/28/2013 Bombardier test project involves induction technology Page 2 of 3 “You bury power stations capable of charging rapidly, even instantly — we’re talking seconds — so that you don’t need to resort to (lengthier) conventional power boost systems currently on the market” like hybrid and electric vehicles, said Bombardier Transportation spokesperson Marc Laforge.

    Jürgen Späth, SWU / Martin Walcher, Siemens AG Avenio M Technical article for Eurotransport, December 2015 siemens.com/mobility 1 From the Combino to the Avenio M Following a Europe-wide tendering process, SWU Verkehr GmbH and Siemens signed a contract for the supply of 12 Avenio M series vehicles on May 22, 2015. This order marks a new chapter in the success story of the Combino, a modular low-floor tram system originally introduced in 1994. This article will take a closer look at the development of the Combino and its progression to the Avenio M, and introduce the Avenio M version adapted to the special requirements in Ulm. As a response to the introduction of low-floor technology at The next projects in Almada (Lisbon) and Budapest were the beginning of the 1990s – and the accompanying trend based on Combino components, but with a modified car towards the purely project-specific development of tram body concept that consisted of a single-articulated vehicle cars – in 1994, Siemens, together with its rail vehicle made of steel.
