Description

La présente invention concerne un véhicule ferroviaire du type comprenant au moins deux voitures adjacentes, comprenant chacune un plancher inférieur et un plancher supérieur, disposés l'un au-dessus de l'autre de sorte à définir un niveau inférieur et un niveau supérieur, un passage d'interconnexion disposé au droit d'un bogie reliant les deux voitures entre elles et comprenant un plancher inférieur reliant les planchers inférieurs des deux voitures et un plancher supérieur reliant les planchers supérieurs des deux voitures, les planchers inférieur et supérieur du passage d'interconnexion définissant un niveau inférieur et un niveau supérieur reliant respectivement les niveaux inférieurs et supérieurs des deux voitures.The present invention relates to a rail vehicle of the type comprising at least two adjacent cars, each comprising a lower floor and an upper floor, arranged one above the other so as to define a lower level and an upper level, a interconnection passage arranged at the right of a bogie connecting the two cars together and comprising a lower floor connecting the lower floors of the two cars and an upper floor connecting the upper floors of the two cars, the lower and upper floors of the passage interconnection defining a lower level and an upper level connecting respectively the lower and upper levels of the two cars.

EP 0 631 917 A1 et EP 0 642 964 A1 décrivent par exemple ce type de véhicule férroviaire. EP 0 631 917 A1 and EP 0 642 964 A1 describe for example this type of railway vehicle.

Ce type de véhicules ferroviaires à deux étages permet d'augmenter la capacité d'accueil de voyageurs par véhicule ferroviaire. Cependant, dans ce type de véhicules ferroviaires, l'interconnexion entre les voitures successives se fait généralement sur un seul niveau, c'est-à-dire que les passagers doivent monter au niveau supérieur ou descendre au niveau inférieur pour passer d'une voiture à la suivante, ce qui complique la circulation dans le véhicule ferroviaire et pose problème pour les personnes à mobilité réduite.This type of double-decker rail vehicle increases the passenger capacity per rail vehicle. However, in this type of railway vehicle, the interconnection between the successive cars is generally done on a single level, that is to say that the passengers must climb to the upper level or descend to the lower level to pass from a car to the next one, which complicates traffic in the rail vehicle and poses a problem for people with reduced mobility.

En outre, ces véhicules ferroviaires ne sont pas optimisés en termes de capacité d'accueil de voyageur car un volume substantiel des voitures du véhicule ferroviaire est occupé par un ou plusieurs escaliers permettant de passer d'un niveau à l'autre et ne peut donc recevoir de sièges pour les passagers.In addition, these rail vehicles are not optimized in terms of passenger capacity because a substantial volume of the cars of the rail vehicle is occupied by one or more staircases making it possible to pass from one level to the other and therefore cannot receive seats for passengers.

L'un des buts de l'invention est de pallier ces inconvénients en proposant un véhicule ferroviaire permettant une interconnexion à deux niveaux sans surélévation du plancher au droit des bogies et permettant d'augmenter la capacité d'accueil de passagers.One of the aims of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a rail vehicle allowing interconnection on two levels without raising the floor in line with the bogies and making it possible to increase the passenger capacity.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un véhicule ferroviaire selon la revendication 1.To this end, the invention relates to a rail vehicle according to claim 1.

Le véhicule ferroviaire selon l'invention permet d'augmenter la capacité d'accueil de passagers par voiture par une meilleure utilisation de la zone au droit des bogies. L'escalier est déporté dans le passage d'interconnexion qui est disposé au droit du bogie. Ainsi, le passage d'interconnexion permet à la fois de passer d'une voiture à l'autre sans changer de niveau et de passer d'un niveau à l'autre, ce qui permet de simplifier la circulation des passagers dans le véhicule ferroviaire.The rail vehicle according to the invention makes it possible to increase the capacity for receiving passengers by car by making better use of the area in front of the bogies. The staircase is offset in the interconnection passage which is located at the right of the bogie. Thus, the interconnection passage allows both to pass from one car to another without changing level and to pass from one level to another, which makes it possible to simplify the circulation of passengers in the railway vehicle. .

Le véhicule ferroviaire selon l'invention peut comprendre l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques des revendications 2 à 9.The rail vehicle according to the invention may include one or more of the features of claims 2 to 9.

D'autres aspects et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description qui suit, donnée à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la Fig. 1 est une représentation schématique en perspective d'un véhicule ferroviaire selon l'invention,
  • la Fig. 2 est une représentation schématique en perspective d'un passage d'interconnexion du véhicule ferroviaire de la Fig. 1,
  • la Fig. 3 est une représentation schématique en coupe selon l'axe III-III de la Fig. 2, et
  • la Fig. 4 est une représentation schématique en coupe selon l'axe IV-IV de la Fig. 3.
Other aspects and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the description which follows, given by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • the Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective representation of a rail vehicle according to the invention,
  • the Fig. 2 is a schematic perspective representation of an interconnection passage of the rail vehicle of the Fig. 1 ,
  • the Fig. 3 is a schematic representation in section along axis III-III of the Fig. 2 , and
  • the Fig. 4 is a schematic representation in section along axis IV-IV of the Fig. 3 .

Dans la description, les termes « sur », « sous », « au-dessus », « en-dessous » sont définis par rapport à une direction d'élévation d'un véhicule ferroviaire lorsqu'il est disposé sur des rails, c'est-à-dire une direction sensiblement verticale lorsque le train circule. La direction longitudinale est définie par la direction de circulation du véhicule ferroviaire et la direction transversale est la direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale et à la direction d'élévation du véhicule ferroviaire.In the description, the terms "on", "under", "above", "below" are defined relative to a direction of elevation of a rail vehicle when it is arranged on rails, c that is to say a substantially vertical direction when the train is running. The longitudinal direction is defined by the direction of travel of the rail vehicle and the transverse direction is the direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the direction of elevation of the rail vehicle.

En référence à la Fig. 1, on décrit un véhicule ferroviaire 1 comprenant au moins deux voitures 2 à deux étages et au moins un passage d'interconnexion 4 reliant les deux voitures 2. Il est entendu que l'invention s'applique également à des véhicules ferroviaires comprenant plus de voitures et plus de passages d'interconnexion, y compris des voitures à un étage unique. Ainsi, selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur la Fig. 1, le véhicule ferroviaire comprend trois voitures à deux étages 2 et deux passages d'interconnexion 4, ainsi que deux voitures d'extrémité partiellement à un étage. Dans la mesure où l'invention porte sur les voitures à deux étages 2 adjacentes et le passage d'interconnexion 4, seuls ceux-ci seront décrits en détails par la suite.With reference to the Fig. 1 , a rail vehicle 1 is described comprising at least two cars 2 with two floors and at least one interconnection passage 4 connecting the two cars 2. It is understood that the invention also applies to rail vehicles comprising more cars and more interconnecting passages, including single-story cars. Thus, according to the embodiment shown in the Fig. 1 , the rail vehicle comprises three double-decker cars 2 and two interconnection passages 4, as well as two end cars partially on one floor. Insofar as the invention relates to cars with two adjacent floors 2 and the interconnection passage 4, only these will be described in detail below.

Chaque voiture 2 est une voiture à deux niveaux, ou à deux étages. Ainsi, chaque voiture 2 comprend un plancher inférieur 8 et un plancher supérieur 10, disposés l'un au-dessus de l'autre de sorte à définir un niveau inférieur 12 et un niveau supérieur 14. Le plancher inférieur 8 et le plancher supérieur 10 sont par exemple sensiblement plan et horizontaux de sorte que les voitures peuvent être franchies sans difficulté. En outre, les planchers inférieur 8 et supérieur 10 d'une voiture s'étendent au même niveau que les planchers inférieur 8 et supérieur 10 de l'autre voiture, c'est-à-dire que les planchers inférieur 8 et supérieur 10 de toutes les voitures 2 s'étendent à la même hauteur, la hauteur des planchers supérieurs 10 étant supérieure à celle des planchers inférieurs 8. A titre d'exemple, le plancher inférieur 8 s'étend à une hauteur sensiblement comprise entre 530 et 550 mm et le plancher supérieur 10 s'étend à une hauteur sensiblement comprise entre 2380 et 2400 mm. Les hauteurs données ci-dessus sont données à titre d'exemple et sont dépendantes du gabarit dans lequel le véhicule doit s'inscrire.Each car 2 is a two-level or two-story car. Thus, each car 2 comprises a lower floor 8 and an upper floor 10, arranged one above the other so as to define a lower level 12 and an upper level 14. The lower floor 8 and the upper floor 10 are for example substantially flat and horizontal so that the cars can be crossed without difficulty. In addition, the lower 8 and upper 10 floors of one car extend at the same level as the lower 8 and upper 10 floors of the other car, i.e. the floors lower 8 and upper 10 of all cars 2 extend at the same height, the height of the upper floors 10 being greater than that of the lower floors 8. For example, the lower floor 8 extends to a height substantially between 530 and 550 mm and the upper floor 10 extends to a height substantially between 2380 and 2400 mm. The heights given above are given by way of example and are dependent on the gauge in which the vehicle must fit.

Le niveau inférieur 12 et le niveau supérieur 14 de chaque voiture 2 reçoit des sièges aptes à accueillir des passagers. L'agencement de ces sièges peut varier d'une voiture à l'autre mais il convient de noter que le nombre de sièges par niveau peut être optimisé car la voiture 2 ne comprend d'escalier pour passer d'un niveau à l'autre. Ainsi, l'ensemble du volume disponible dans la voiture peut être utilisé pour disposer des sièges dans la voiture 2. Il convient également de noter que les voitures 2 ne reposent pas directement sur un bogie, ce qui augmente encore la capacité de la voiture 2 dont la structure n'a pas à être adaptée pour la réception d'un bogie.The lower level 12 and the upper level 14 of each car 2 receives seats suitable for accommodating passengers. The arrangement of these seats can vary from one car to another, but it should be noted that the number of seats per level can be optimized because car 2 does not include stairs to go from one level to another. . Thus, the entire volume available in the car can be used to arrange the seats in car 2. It should also be noted that cars 2 do not rest directly on a bogie, which further increases the capacity of car 2 whose structure does not have to be adapted for the reception of a bogie.

L'une des extrémités de chaque voiture 2 est reliée de façon suspendue au passage d'interconnexion 4. C'est-à-dire que les éléments de liaison entre une voiture et le passage d'interconnexion 4 sont agencés pour reprendre les efforts entre la voiture et le passage d'interconnexion et pour permettre les débattements de la voiture 2 et du passage d'interconnexion 4 l'un par rapport à l'autre pour franchir courbes, creux et bosses.One of the ends of each car 2 is connected in a suspended manner to the interconnection passage 4. That is to say that the connecting elements between a car and the interconnection passage 4 are arranged to take up the forces between the car and the interconnection passage and to allow the deflections of the car 2 and of the interconnection passage 4 relative to each other to cross curves, hollows and bumps.

Le passage d'interconnexion 4 relie les deux voitures 2 en étant lié aux extrémités en regard l'une de l'autre de ces voitures. Le passage d'interconnexion 4 est disposé sur un bogie 16 et s'étend au droit de celui-ci.The interconnection passage 4 connects the two cars 2 by being linked to the opposite ends of one another of these cars. The interconnection passage 4 is arranged on a bogie 16 and extends to the right of the latter.

Le passage d'interconnexion est agencé pour permettre le passage d'une voiture à l'autre sans changer de niveau, c'est-à-dire qu'un passager situé au niveau inférieur 12 d'une voiture 2 peut passer au niveau inférieur 12 de l'autre voiture 2 en passant par un niveau inférieur 18 du passage d'interconnexion 4 et qu'un passager situé au niveau supérieur 14 d'une voiture 2 peut passer au niveau supérieur 14 de l'autre voiture en passant par un niveau supérieur 20 du passage d'interconnexion 4.The interconnection passage is arranged to allow the passage from one car to another without changing level, that is to say that a passenger located at the lower level 12 of a car 2 can pass to the lower level 12 of the other car 2 passing through a lower level 18 of the interconnection passage 4 and that a passenger situated at the upper level 14 of a car 2 can pass to the upper level 14 of the other car passing through a upper level 20 of the interconnection passage 4.

A cet effet et comme représenté sur les Fig. 2 et 3, le passage d'interconnexion 4 comprend un plancher inférieur 22, reliant les planchers inférieurs 8 des voitures 2 et s'étendant sur toute la longueur du passage d'interconnexion. Le plancher inférieur 22 s'étend sensiblement à la même hauteur que les planchers inférieurs 8 des voitures 2.To this end and as shown in the Fig. 2 and 3 , the interconnection passage 4 comprises a lower floor 22, connecting the lower floors 8 of the cars 2 and extending over the entire length of the interconnection passage. The lower floor 22 extends substantially at the same height as the lower floors 8 of the cars 2.

Par « sur toute la longueur du passage d'interconnexion », on entend que le plancher inférieur 22 est dépourvu de marche modifiant localement sa hauteur, notamment au droit du bogie.By "over the entire length of the interconnection passage" is meant that the lower floor 22 is devoid of steps locally modifying its height, in particular at the right of the bogie.

Par « sensiblement à la même hauteur », on entend que l'écart de hauteur maximal entre deux zones du plancher est de 50 mm sur une longueur de 800 mm.By "substantially the same height" is meant that the maximum height difference between two zones of the floor is 50 mm over a length of 800 mm.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le passage d'interconnexion 4 comprend un plancher inférieur 22, reliant les planchers inférieurs 8 des voitures 2 et s'étendant sur toute sa longueur, à la même hauteur que ces planchers, c'est-à-dire que le plancher inférieur 22 et les planchers inférieurs des voitures 2 ne présentent aucune déclivité (par exemple formée par une marche ou une rampe) sur l'ensemble de leur longueur respective.According to one embodiment, the interconnection passage 4 comprises a lower floor 22, connecting the lower floors 8 of the cars 2 and extending over its entire length, at the same height as these floors, that is to say that the lower floor 22 and the lower floors of the cars 2 do not have any gradient (for example formed by a step or a ramp) over the whole of their respective length.

Le passage d'interconnexion 4 comprend également un plancher supérieur 24, reliant les planchers supérieurs 10 des voitures 2 et s'étendant sensiblement à la même hauteur que ces planchers sur toute sa longueur.The interconnection passage 4 also includes an upper floor 24, connecting the upper floors 10 of the cars 2 and extending substantially at the same height as these floors over its entire length.

Un tel agencement permet en outre de simplifier la circulation dans les niveaux inférieurs 12 et 18 car le passage d'une voiture à l'autre par le niveau inférieur peut se faire sans franchir de marche ou de rampe puisque les planchers inférieurs s'étendent tous à la même hauteur. La circulation dans le véhicule ferroviaire est ainsi facilitée, en particulier pour les personnes à mobilité réduite.Such an arrangement also makes it possible to simplify circulation in the lower levels 12 and 18 because the passage from one car to another by the lower level can be done without stepping or stepping since the lower floors all extend at the same height. Circulation in the rail vehicle is thus facilitated, in particular for people with reduced mobility.

La disposition du plancher inférieur 22 du passage d'interconnexion 4 à la même hauteur que celle des planchers inférieurs 8 des voitures 2 est rendue possible par l'agencement du bogie 16, qui va à présent être décrit.The arrangement of the lower floor 22 of the interconnection passage 4 at the same height as that of the lower floors 8 of cars 2 is made possible by the arrangement of the bogie 16, which will now be described.

Le bogie 16 comprend un châssis 26 comprenant deux longerons longitudinaux 28 (Fig. 4) s'étendant selon une direction longitudinale et espacés l'un de l'autre selon une direction transversale. Le passage d'interconnexion 4 repose sur lesdits longerons 28 par l'intermédiaire de suspensions secondaires 30 permettant un débattement principalement vertical du passage d'interconnexion 4 par rapport au bogie 16.The bogie 16 comprises a chassis 26 comprising two longitudinal beams 28 ( Fig. 4 ) extending in a longitudinal direction and spaced from each other in a transverse direction. The interconnection passage 4 rests on said longitudinal members 28 by means of secondary suspensions 30 allowing a mainly vertical movement of the interconnection passage 4 relative to the bogie 16.

Deux roues 32 sont montées sur chaque longeron 28, à chacune des parties extrêmes longitudinales de celui-ci, de sorte qu'une paire de roues 32 s'étend de chaque côté du châssis 26. Plus particulièrement, chaque roue 32 comprend un arbre individuel 34 monté en rotation autour d'un axe transversal sur une boîte d'essieu 36. Par arbre individuel, on entend que chaque roue 32 est mobile en rotation par rapport au châssis indépendamment des autres, à la différence d'un bogie traditionnel dans lequel un essieu relie généralement les roues deux à deux et entraîne simultanément deux roues en rotation. Chaque partie extrême d'un longeron longitudinal 28 repose sur une boîte d'essieu 36 par l'intermédiaire d'une suspension primaire 38 autorisant un débattement principalement vertical du châssis 26 par rapport aux roues 32. Les roues sont montées de sorte à s'étendre, selon la direction transversale, à l'intérieur du gabarit défini par le contour du châssis 26, les boîtes d'essieu 36 étant disposées du côté extérieur des roues 32.Two wheels 32 are mounted on each beam 28, at each of the longitudinal end portions thereof, so that a pair of wheels 32 extends on each side of the chassis 26. More particularly, each wheel 32 comprises an individual shaft 34 mounted in rotation about a transverse axis on an axle box 36. By individual shaft is meant that each wheel 32 is movable in rotation relative to the chassis independently of the others, unlike a traditional bogie in which an axle generally connects the wheels two by two and simultaneously drives two rotating wheels. Each end part of a longitudinal beam 28 rests on an axle box 36 by means of a primary suspension 38 allowing a mainly vertical movement of the chassis 26 relative to the wheels 32. The wheels are mounted so as to extend, in the transverse direction, inside the template defined by the outline of the chassis 26, the axle boxes 36 being arranged on the outside of the wheels 32.

Dans le cas d'un bogie 1 motorisé, chaque longeron 28 porte en outre au moins un moteur 40 agencé pour entraîner en rotation les deux roues 32 portées par le longeron. Le moteur est ainsi relié à la boîte d'essieu 36 de chaque roue 32 par des moyens de transmission. Ces moyens de transmission sont par exemple du même type que ceux décrits dans le document EP-1 270 359 et ne seront pas décrits plus en détail ici. Chaque moteur 40 est porté par son longeron 28 entre les deux roues 32 portées par ledit longeron 28.In the case of a motorized bogie 1, each spar 28 further carries at least one motor 40 arranged to rotate the two wheels 32 carried by the spar. The engine is thus connected to the axle box 36 of each wheel 32 by transmission means. These transmission means are for example of the same type as those described in the document EP-1,270,359 and will not be described in more detail here. Each engine 40 is carried by its spar 28 between the two wheels 32 carried by said spar 28.

Les longerons longitudinaux 28 sont reliés l'un à l'autre par au moins une traverse, non visible sur les figures, s'étendant selon la direction transversale entre les deux longerons 28. Selon un mode de réalisation, les longerons 28 sont reliés par au moins deux traverses espacées l'une de l'autre selon la direction longitudinale. Les traverses comprennent au moins une partie centrale s'étendant dans un plan abaissé entre les longerons longitudinaux 28, c'est-à-dire dans un plan s'étendant sous le plan défini par les axes des roues 32.The longitudinal beams 28 are connected to each other by at least one cross member, not visible in the figures, extending in the transverse direction between the two beams 28. According to one embodiment, the beams 28 are connected by at least two crosspieces spaced from each other in the longitudinal direction. The sleepers comprise at least one central part extending in a lowered plane between the longitudinal beams 28, that is to say in a plane extending under the plane defined by the axes of the wheels 32.

Les boîtes d'essieux 36 d'un essieu sont reliées l'une à l'autre par des barres de liaison 56 s'étendant selon la direction transversale entre les deux boîtes d'essieux et placées les plus basses possibles.The axle boxes 36 of an axle are connected to each other by connecting bars 56 extending in the transverse direction between the two axle boxes and placed as low as possible.

Un tel bogie 16 présente un volume libre important entre les longerons longitudinaux 28 au-dessus des traverses et des barres 56. Ainsi, le plancher inférieur 22 du passage d'interconnexion 4 peut s'étendre dans un plan confondu avec l'un des plans du bogie 16 et plus particulièrement avec un plan voisin du plan défini par les traverses et/ou les barres de liaison 56, comme représenté sur la Fig. 4.Such a bogie 16 has a large free volume between the longitudinal beams 28 above the crosspieces and bars 56. Thus, the lower floor 22 of the interconnection passage 4 can extend in a plane coincident with one of the planes of the bogie 16 and more particularly with a plane close to the plane defined by the crosspieces and / or the connecting bars 56, as shown in the Fig. 4 .

Le passage d'interconnexion 4 permet, outre le passage d'une voiture à l'autre, de passer du niveau inférieur 18 au niveau supérieur 20 ou inversement par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un escalier 44 prévu dans le passage d'interconnexion 4 entre le plancher inférieur 22 et le plancher supérieur 24.The interconnection passage 4 allows, in addition to the passage from one car to another, to pass from the lower level 18 to the upper level 20 or vice versa by means of at least one stair 44 provided in the interconnection passage 4 between the lower floor 22 and the upper floor 24.

Ainsi, l'escalier 44, défini par une pluralité de marches, comprend une partie inférieure 46 solidaire du plancher inférieur 22 et une partie supérieure 48 débouchant dans une ouverture du plancher supérieur 24.Thus, the staircase 44, defined by a plurality of steps, comprises a lower part 46 secured to the lower floor 22 and an upper part 48 opening into an opening in the upper floor 24.

La partie inférieure 46 de l'escalier 44 s'étend par exemple d'un côté du bogie selon la direction longitudinale et sa partie supérieure 48 s'étend au-dessus d'une extrémité longitudinale du bogie, comme représenté sur les Fig. 2 et 3. Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures, l'escalier 44 comprend un tournant 50, l'escalier s'étendant sensiblement selon la direction longitudinale de la partie inférieure 46 au tournant 50 et selon la direction transversale du tournant 50 à la partie supérieure 48, ce qui permet de réduire l'encombrement de l'escalier 44selon la direction longitudinale.The lower part 46 of the staircase 44 extends for example from one side of the bogie in the longitudinal direction and its upper part 48 extends above a longitudinal end of the bogie, as shown in the Fig. 2 and 3 . According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the staircase 44 comprises a turn 50, the staircase extending substantially in the longitudinal direction from the lower part 46 to turn 50 and in the transverse direction of turn 50 at the upper part 48, which makes it possible to reduce the size of the staircase 44 according to the longitudinal direction.

La partie inférieure 46 de l'escalier est par exemple voisine d'une extrémité longitudinale du passage d'interconnexion 4 de sorte à se situer en regard de l'extrémité d'une des voitures 2 reliées au passage d'interconnexion. En outre, la partie inférieure 46 et le reste de l'escalier 44 sont par exemple disposés le long d'une paroi transversale du passage d'interconnexion 4 de sorte qu'un espace est dégagé le long de l'autre paroi transversale du passage d'interconnexion 4. Un tel agencement permet au passage d'interconnexion 4 de comprendre une entrée 52 d'escalier s'étendant à une des extrémités du passage d'interconnexion en regard de l'escalier 44 et un couloir d'interconnexion 54 s'étendant d'une extrémité du passage d'interconnexion à l'autre, l'escalier 44 et le couloir d'interconnexion 54 s'étendant l'un à côté de l'autre selon la direction transversale, comme représenté sur la Fig. 2. Ainsi, un passager souhaitant se rendre d'une voiture 2 à l'autre par le niveau inférieur 18 empreinte le couloir d'interconnexion 54 et un passager souhaitant se rendre du niveau inférieur au niveau supérieur empreinte l'entrée d'escalier 52. Un tel agencement permet de fluidifier la circulation dans le véhicule ferroviaire.The lower part 46 of the staircase is for example close to a longitudinal end of the interconnection passage 4 so as to be located opposite the end of one of the cars 2 connected to the interconnection passage. In addition, the lower part 46 and the rest of the staircase 44 are for example arranged along a transverse wall of the interconnection passage 4 so that a space is cleared along the other transverse wall of the passage interconnection 4. Such an arrangement allows the interconnection passage 4 to include a staircase entrance 52 extending at one end of the interconnection passage opposite the staircase 44 and an interconnection corridor 54 s extending from one end of the interconnection passage to the other, the staircase 44 and the interconnection corridor 54 extending one next to the other in the transverse direction, as shown in the Fig. 2 . Thus, a passenger wishing to go from one car 2 to another via the lower level 18 enters the interconnection corridor 54 and a passenger wishing to go from the lower level to the upper level prints the staircase entrance 52. A such an arrangement makes it possible to smooth the circulation in the rail vehicle.

Afin d'augmenter encore cette fluidité, selon le mode de réalisation de l'invention représenté sur les figures, le passage d'interconnexion 4 comprend deux escaliers 44 permettant aux passagers des deux voitures 2 d'emprunter l'un des escaliers 44. A cet effet, les deux escaliers 44 sont par exemple disposés de façon symétrique par rapport à un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction de déplacement du véhicule ferroviaire et passant par le centre du bogie 16, c'est-à-dire par rapport à un plan transversal passant par le centre bogie 16. Ainsi, selon cet agencement, les parties inférieures 46 des deux escaliers 44 sont disposées de part et d'autre du bogie 16 selon la direction longitudinale de sorte que chaque partie inférieure 46 se trouve au voisinage de l'extrémité d'une des voitures 2 reliées au passage d'interconnexion 4. Ainsi, le passage d'interconnexion 4 comprend deux entrées d'escalier 52 disposées aux deux extrémités du passage d'interconnexion 2 de sorte que chaque voiture 2 se trouve en regard d'une entrée d'escalier 52 et du couloir d'interconnexion 54 du passage d'interconnexion 4.In order to further increase this fluidity, according to the embodiment of the invention shown in the figures, the interconnection passage 4 comprises two stairs 44 allowing the passengers of the two cars 2 to take one of the stairs 44. A this effect, the two stairs 44 are for example arranged symmetrically with respect to a plane substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the rail vehicle and passing through the center of the bogie 16, that is to say with respect to a plane transverse passing through the bogie center 16. Thus, according to this arrangement, the lower parts 46 of the two stairs 44 are arranged on either side of the bogie 16 in the longitudinal direction so that each lower part 46 is in the vicinity of the end of one of the cars 2 connected to the interconnection passage 4. Thus, the interconnection passage 4 comprises two stairway entrances 52 arranged at the two ends of the interconnection passage n 2 so that each car 2 is opposite a staircase entrance 52 and the interconnection corridor 54 of the interconnection passage 4.

Le niveau supérieur 20 du passage d'interconnexion 4 peut être utilisé pour recevoir des sièges afin d'augmenter encore la capacité d'accueil du véhicule ferroviaire, comme représenté sur la Fig. 1.The upper level 20 of the interconnection passage 4 can be used to receive seats in order to further increase the reception capacity of the rail vehicle, as shown in the Fig. 1 .

La structure de l'escalier décrite ci-dessus n'a été donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et elle pourrait être différente. Par exemple, elle pourrait comprendre une ou des rampes à destination de personnes à mobilité réduite ou même une passerelle élévatrice.The structure of the staircase described above has only been given as an example and it could be different. For example, it could include one or more ramps for people with reduced mobility or even a lifting platform.

La structure du bogie 16 pourrait également être différente. Ainsi, le bogie 16 pourrait être un bogie entraîné, dépourvu de moteur, ou ne comprendre qu'un seul moteur.The structure of the bogie 16 could also be different. Thus, the bogie 16 could be a driven bogie, devoid of motor, or comprise only one motor.

Le véhicule ferroviaire décrit ci-dessus présente une capacité d'accueil élevée et permet une circulation fluide particulièrement à l'intérieur du véhicule ferroviaire.The railway vehicle described above has a high reception capacity and allows fluid circulation, particularly inside the railway vehicle.
