Description

STATION D'ATTENTE ET D * EMBARQUEMENT-DEBARQUEMENT POUR TRANSPORT EN COMMUN URBAIN WAITING AND EMBARKATION-LANDING STATION FOR URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT
La présente invention se rapporte à une station d'attente et d'embarquement-débarquement pour transport urbain.The present invention relates to a waiting and embarkation-disembarkation station for urban transport.
Les personnes désirant emprunter un véhicule de transport en commun urbain sont contraintes d'attendre à l'un quelconque des différents points d'arrêt de son itinéraire. Certains de ces points d'embarquement et de débarquement ont été aménagés en station d'attente afin d'améliorer le confort des futurs passagers. On connaît diverses stations d'attente urbaines prévues dans le circuit des transports urbains de personnes. Celles-ci se présentent en général sous la forme d'un abri de forme parallélépipédique à face avant ouverte offrant une protection contre les intempéries aux voyageurs en situation d'attente. De tels abris ont notamment été divulgués dans les demandes de brevets FR 2.720.431, FR 2.720.432, FR 2.727.444 et FR 2.727.445. Ce type d'abris peut également n ' être fermé que sur sa face arrière et sur l'une de ses faces latérales, comme celui décrit dans la demande FR 2.642.879, offrant aux voyageurs en attente une protection plus limitée.People wishing to borrow an urban public transport vehicle are forced to wait at any one of the different stopping points on their route. Some of these embarkation and disembarkation points have been set up as a waiting station in order to improve the comfort of future passengers. Various urban waiting stations are known to exist in the urban passenger transport circuit. These are generally in the form of a parallelepipedic shelter with open front face offering protection against bad weather for travelers in waiting situation. Such shelters have in particular been disclosed in patent applications FR 2,720,431, FR 2,720,432, FR 2,727,444 and FR 2,727,445. This type of shelter can also be closed only on its rear face and on one of its lateral faces, such as that described in application FR 2,642,879, offering travelers on standby more limited protection.
Certaines stations comportent en plus des sièges ou des bancs pour des attentes plus longues ou pour les voyageurs fatigués ou handicapés. Il s'agit par exemple de la station décrite et représentée dans le brevet FR 2.727.945. Néanmoins elles ne sont pas adaptées aux attentes de longue durée. L'espace intérieur à la station étant restreint, les voyageurs sont contraints à une promiscuité inconfortable et gênante. En effet, les personnes assises en attente et les voyageurs voulant entrer ou sortir des véhicules de transport en commun se gênent mutuellement.Some stations also have seats or benches for longer waits or for tired or disabled travelers. This is for example the station described and represented in patent FR 2,727,945. However, they are not suited to long-term expectations. The interior space at the station being limited, travelers are forced into uncomfortable and inconvenient crowding. Indeed, people seated waiting and travelers wanting to enter or exit the vehicles of public transportation hinder each other.
Le but de 1 ' invention est de fournir une station d'attente et d'embarquement-débarquement dontThe object of the invention is to provide a waiting and embarkation-disembarkation station,
1 ' espace intérieur à été optimisé et partagé en une ou plusieurs zones d ' attente de longue durée et une zone de transit permettant 1 ' accès rapide au véhicule de transport en commun. Ainsi, le confort et la convivialité sont considérablement accrus et les voyageurs ne se gênent pas les uns les autres. Un autre but de 1 ' invention est de procurer une station d ' attente assurant aux voyageurs une protection améliorée contre les intempéries pendant leur attente dans la station et jusqu'à leur entrée dans le véhicule de transport en commun. En effet, avec les stations d'attente classiques la protection des voyageurs contre les précipitations et le vent reste limitée, les passagers étant notamment complètement exposés dans 1 ' espace compris entre 1 ' abri et le moyen de transport en commun lors de 1 ' embarquement ou du débarquement .1 interior space has been optimized and divided into one or more long-term waiting areas and a transit area allowing quick access to the public transport vehicle. Thus, comfort and friendliness are considerably increased and travelers do not bother each other. Another object of the invention is to provide a waiting station providing travelers with improved weather protection while waiting at the station and until they enter the public transport vehicle. In fact, with conventional waiting stations the protection of travelers against precipitation and the wind remains limited, the passengers being notably completely exposed in the space between the shelter and the means of public transport during embarkation. or landing.
La station d'attente et d 'embarquement- débarquement selon 1 ' invention comporte une structure d'auvent prolongeant le toit de la station et surplombant le véhicule de transport en commun au niveau de sa porte d'entrée afin de réaliser un seuil d'embarquement et de débarquement protégé des intempéries .The waiting and embarkation / disembarkation station according to the invention comprises an awning structure extending the roof of the station and overhanging the public transport vehicle at its front door in order to achieve a threshold of weather protected embarkation and disembarkation.
De plus, les passagers en attente dans la zone d'attente de longue durée sont mieux protégés, celle-ci étant plus isolée qu'un abri classique.In addition, passengers waiting in the long-term waiting area are better protected, which is more isolated than a traditional shelter.
Par ailleurs, les stations classiques étant ouvertes sur leur face avant, elles sont implantées en retrait par rapport au bord du trottoir de façon à laisser un intervalle de sécurité entre la chaussée et les voyageurs en attente dans la station. L'espace libre restant entre 1 ' arrière de la station et les entrées des maisons ou des immeubles, destiné à la circulation des piétons, s'en trouve considérablement réduit .Furthermore, the conventional stations being open on their front face, they are set back with respect to the edge of the sidewalk so as to leave a safety gap between the roadway and the passengers waiting in the station. The free space remaining between the rear of the station and the entrances of houses or buildings, intended for pedestrian traffic is considerably reduced.
Un problème se pose dans les rues étroites où les abris et les stations classiques constituent des obstacles sur le trajet des piétons qui ont des difficultés à se frayer un passage dans l'espace souvent restreint existant à l'arrière de la station. Certains décident alors de contourner la station par l'avant dans le cas d'un encombrement ou d'une densité importante dans le passage étroit destiné aux piétons. Ces piétons téméraires ou inconscients s ' exposent au risque d'un accident pouvant être mortel et peuvent gêner les usagers en attente.A problem arises in the narrow streets where shelters and conventional stations constitute obstacles on the path of pedestrians who find it difficult to clear a passage in the often limited space existing behind the station. Some then decide to bypass the station from the front in the case of congestion or a high density in the narrow passage intended for pedestrians. These reckless or unconscious pedestrians expose themselves to the risk of a fatal accident and can annoy the waiting users.
Contrairement aux stations et abris classiques, la station d'attente selon l'invention peut être placée tout à fait en bordure de la voie empruntée par le véhicule de transport en commun. Elle laisse ainsi derrière elle un espace maximum pour le passage des piétons. Les voyageurs en attente dans la station sont eux parfaitement protégés des dangers de la circulation grâce à une paroi de protection obturant la face avant de la station située en regard de la chaussée. Cette paroi évite également qu'ils ne s ' approchent trop de la voie réservée aux véhicules de transport en commun. Les voyageurs attendant à 1 ' intérieur de la station ne peuvent plus marcher sur la chaussée pour accéder au véhicule. Ils sont contraints pour cela à emprunter le seuil d'embarquement-débarquement. De la même façon, les personnes arrivant du trottoir pour un embarquement immédiat et les personnes débarquant du véhicule de transport en commun sont fortement incitées à traverser la station en empruntant le chemin reliant le seuil à l'ouverture d'entrée de la station et peuvent difficilement passer par la chaussée. La sécurité des voyageurs est ainsi considérablement renforcée.Unlike conventional stations and shelters, the waiting station according to the invention can be placed completely along the path taken by the public transport vehicle. It thus leaves behind a maximum space for the passage of pedestrians. Travelers waiting in the station are themselves perfectly protected from the dangers of traffic thanks to a protective wall closing the front face of the station located opposite the roadway. This wall also prevents them from getting too close to the lane reserved for public transport vehicles. Travelers waiting inside the station can no longer walk on the road to access the vehicle. They are therefore forced to use the boarding and disembarking threshold. Similarly, people arriving from the sidewalk for immediate boarding and those disembarking from the public transport vehicle are strongly encouraged to cross the station by taking the path connecting the threshold to the station entrance opening and can hardly pass by the road. The security of travelers is thus considerably reinforced.
La présente invention enseigne de surcroît un mode de réalisation particulièrement adapté pour être implanté sur les trottoirs étroits ou sur ceux à haute fréquentation piétonnière. Selon ce mode de réalisation, la station comporte une ouverture sur sa face arrière et/ou sur une ou plusieurs de ses faces latérales permettant aux piétons de pénétrer dans la station et de la traverser sans s ' exposer aux dangers de la circulation. Grâce à la structure et à 1 ' aménagement améliorés de la station selon l'invention, les voyageurs en attente dans un tel mode de réalisation restent, malgré ces ouvertures d'entrée, protégés des intempéries et ne sont pas dérangés par le passage des piétons.The present invention further teaches a embodiment particularly suitable for being installed on narrow sidewalks or on those with high pedestrian traffic. According to this embodiment, the station has an opening on its rear face and / or on one or more of its lateral faces allowing pedestrians to enter and cross the station without being exposed to the dangers of traffic. Thanks to the improved structure and layout of the station according to the invention, travelers waiting in such an embodiment remain, despite these entry openings, protected from the weather and are not disturbed by the passage of pedestrians .
Afin de résoudre ces problèmes techniques la station d'attente et d'embarquement-débarquement selon 1 ' invention est placée en bordure immédiate de la chaussée. Elle comporte une paroi de protection sur sa face avant afin de protéger les voyageurs et de s'opposer à leur passage sur la chaussée. De préférence, son espace intérieur est divisé en une zone d'attente de longue durée entourée de parois sur trois de ses côtés et dont 1 ' ouverture d ' entrée débouche à l'intérieur de la station et non dans la rue, et une zone d ' attente de courte durée comportant une ouverture d'entrée dans la station et un seuil d'embarquement ou de débarquement permettant un accès protégé au véhicule de transport urbain.In order to solve these technical problems, the waiting and embarkation / disembarkation station according to the invention is placed on the immediate edge of the road. It has a protective wall on its front side to protect travelers and to prevent their passage on the road. Preferably, its interior space is divided into a long-term waiting area surrounded by walls on three of its sides and the entrance opening of which opens inside the station and not in the street, and an area short waiting time comprising an opening to enter the station and an embarkation or disembarkation threshold allowing protected access to the urban transport vehicle.
La zone d ' attente de longue durée est particulièrement protégée afin d ' isoler les voyageurs en attente du froid, du vent et des intempéries, mais aussi du bruit urbain. Elle permet également de les protéger des éclaboussures et des dangers de la circulation. Cette zone est aménagée de façon à rendre l'attente plus agréable pour les voyageurs. Elle peut ainsi comporter par exemple des sièges individuels, des bancs, des supports d'appui ischiatique, des tables, un affichage d'informations, etc. La zone d'attente de courte durée, prévue pour accueillir les voyageurs prêts à embarquer, est beaucoup plus dégagée. Elle ne comporte pas de sièges, mais est par exemple pourvue de supports d'appui ischiatique ou de structures de prise d'appui et de retenue par exemple du type main-courante. Elle permet de manoeuvrer facilement les fauteuils roulants pour handicapés, les poussettes et autres véhicules d'enfants, ou tout autre dispositif encombrant, en vue de leur embarquement ou de leur débarquement dans le ou hors du véhicule de transport en commun, sans être gêné par, et sans déranger les voyageurs assis dans la zone d ' attente de longue durée.The long-term waiting area is particularly protected in order to isolate travelers waiting for the cold, wind and bad weather, but also from urban noise. It also helps protect them from splashes and traffic hazards. This area is designed to make waiting more pleasant for travelers. It can thus include for example individual seats, benches, ischial support supports, tables, an information display, etc. The short-term waiting area, intended to welcome travelers ready to embark, is much more open. It does not have seats, but is for example provided with ischial support supports or support and retaining structures, for example of the handrail type. It makes it easy to maneuver wheelchairs for the disabled, strollers and other children's vehicles, or any other bulky device, with a view to boarding or disembarking in or out of the public transport vehicle, without being hindered by , and without disturbing passengers seated in the long waiting area.
Préférentiellement, la zone d'attente de courte durée se poursuit par un espace intermédiaire ou seuil d ' accès à la porte du véhicule de transport en commun protégé par une structure d ' auvent prolongeant le toit de la station afin d'abriter les voyageurs jusqu'à leur entrée dans le véhicule et inversement depuis leur sortie jusqu'à l'intérieur de la station.Preferably, the short-term waiting area continues with an intermediate space or threshold for access to the door of the public transport vehicle protected by an awning structure extending the roof of the station in order to shelter travelers up to 'upon entering the vehicle and vice versa from their exit to the interior of the station.
La station d ' attente selon 1 ' invention est en outre modulable. Il est possible de rajouter une ou plusieurs autres zones d ' attente de longue ou de courte durée, comprenant un ou plusieurs seuils d'accès au véhicule. La station peut ainsi, par exemple, comporter un seuil pour chacune des portes des voitures du véhicule. La station peut également être modifiée transversalement et comporter par exemple un seuil d'accès de chaque côté de la station permettant au voyageur d'embarquer au choix dans plusieurs véhicules de transport en commun circulant en sens opposé ou sur des lignes différentes dans le cadre d'une correspondance.The waiting station according to the invention is also modular. It is possible to add one or more other long or short-term waiting zones, comprising one or more thresholds for access to the vehicle. The station can thus, for example, include a threshold for each of the doors of the vehicles cars. The station can also be modified transversely and include for example an access threshold on each side of the station allowing the traveler to embark as desired in several public transport vehicles traveling in opposite directions or on different lines as part of 'a correspondence.

. la figure 8 est vue schématique en plan du premier mode de réalisation de la station selon l'invention montrant les trajets sécurisés des voyageurs entre le véhicule de transport en commun et la station et entre le véhicule de transport en commun et la rue au travers de la station. La station d'attente selon la présente invention est destinée à un système de transport en commun de personnes au sein d ' une agglomération plus ou moins importante. Différents modes de réalisation découlant les uns des autres sont ainsi prévus et vont être décrits de façon détaillée ci-après. Les éléments équivalents représentés sur les différentes figures porteront les mêmes références numériques . Ces variantes découlent les unes des autres par des changements de taille, des modifications ou des adjonctions diverses. Cependant, les fonctions générales et essentielles restent identiques. On décrira tout d'abord la variante de base de la station selon 1 ' invention en référence aux figures 1 à 4.. Figure 8 is a schematic plan view of the first embodiment of the station according to the invention showing the secure journeys of travelers between the public transport vehicle and the station and between the public transport vehicle and the street through the station. The waiting station according to the present invention is intended for a system of public transport of people within an agglomeration more or less important. Different embodiments arising from each other are thus provided and will be described in detail below. The equivalent elements represented in the different figures will bear the same numerical references. These variants follow from one another by various size changes, modifications or additions. However, the general and essential functions remain the same. The basic variant of the station according to the invention will first be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.
Selon la variante de base, la station d ' attente 1 est destinée à être implantée sur un trottoir 2 en bordure d'une chaussée ou d'une voie 3 où peut circuler un véhicule de transport en commun 4. Le véhicule 4 peut être de nature quelconque. Il peut s'agir par exemple d'un autobus, d'un autocar, d'une rame de métro ou de tramway, d'un véhicule routier autoguidé ou de tout autre véhicule urbain de transport de passagers. La chaussée 3 peut être une chaussée classique pour la circulation automobile. Elle peut en outre comporter des aménagements nécessaires à la circulation du véhicule de transport en commun 4, tels que par exemple des rails de circulation ou de guidage. Ces aménagements ne faisant pas partie de l'invention, n'ont pas été représentés sur les différentes figures. La chaussée 3 peut également être exclusivement réservée à la circulation des véhicules de transport urbain et le trottoir 2 consister en un quai bordant cette voie de transport en commun.According to the basic variant, the waiting station 1 is intended to be located on a sidewalk 2 at the edge of a roadway or a track 3 where a public transport vehicle 4 can circulate. The vehicle 4 can be any kind. It may for example be a bus, a coach, a metro or tramway train, a self-guided road vehicle or any other urban passenger transport vehicle. Pavement 3 can be a conventional pavement for automobile traffic. It may also include arrangements necessary for the circulation of the public transport vehicle 4, such as for example circulation or guide rails. These arrangements, which are not part of the invention, have not been shown in the various figures. The pavement 3 can also be exclusively reserved for the circulation of urban transport vehicles and the sidewalk 2 consist of a quay bordering this public transport route.
La station d'attente 1 présente, dans le premier mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 1 à 4, une forme générale globalement parallélépipédique. Elle possède une armature métallique 5 comprenant plusieurs montants ou poteaux 6 de soutènement ou de charpente sensiblement verticaux disposés au niveau des faces extérieures de la station, délimitant l'espace intérieur 7 à la station. Ces montants sont par exemple au nombre de six, comme représenté sur les figures 1 à 4. Entre certains de ces montants 6 s ' étendent des parois verticales 8 isolant 1 ' espace intérieur de la station afin de constituer un abri fermé pour les voyageurs en attente. Ces parois 8 sont constituées de panneaux réalisés en une matière par exemple transparente ou translucide, telle que du verre ou une matière plastique, offrant une visibilité vers l'extérieur et laissant entrer la lumière. Les panneaux 8 peuvent en outre servir de support pour des affiches publicitaires ou des documents d'information renseignant par exemple les passagers sur les horaires, les tarifs ou l'itinéraire du véhicule de transport en commun.The waiting station 1 has, in the first embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, a generally generally parallelepiped shape. It has a metal frame 5 comprising several uprights or posts 6 of substantially vertical support or frame arranged at the outer faces of the station, delimiting the interior space 7 at the station. These uprights are for example six in number, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. Between some of these uprights 6 extend vertical walls 8 isolating the interior space of the station in order to constitute a closed shelter for travelers in waiting. These walls 8 consist of panels made of a material, for example transparent or translucent, such as glass or a plastic material, offering visibility to the outside and letting in light. The panels 8 can also serve as a support for advertising posters or information documents informing, for example, passengers about the timetables, the prices or the route of the public transport vehicle.
L'intérieur de la station est protégé par une structure de toit 9 s ' appuyant d ' une part sur une poutre 10 métallique et horizontale, s 'étendant longitudinalement à la station entre les montants de soutènement 6 et comprenant d ' autre part un ensemble de traverses 11 métalliques, perpendiculaires à la poutre 10 et situées dans un plan sensiblement horizontal. La structure de toit 9 de la station peut elle aussi être formée par plusieurs panneaux 12 en verre ou en matière plastique transparente.The interior of the station is protected by a roof structure 9 resting on the one hand on a metallic and horizontal beam 10, extending longitudinally at the station between the support uprights 6 and comprising on the other hand a set of metal sleepers 11, perpendicular to the beam 10 and located in a substantially horizontal plane. The roof structure 9 of the station can also be formed by several panels 12 made of glass or transparent plastic.
L'espace intérieur 7 de la station selon la variante de base de 1 ' invention est divisé en une zone d'attente de longue durée 13 et une zone d'attente de courte durée 14.The interior space 7 of the station according to the basic variant of the invention is divided into a long-term waiting area 13 and a short-term waiting area 14.
La zone d'attente de longue durée 13 est entourée complètement ou partiellement de parois 8 sur trois de ses côtés et s'ouvre sur l'intérieur de la station d'attente. Elle est ainsi particulièrement protégée afin d'isoler les voyageurs en situation d'attente des intempéries, du froid, du vent, ainsi que du bruit urbain. Cette zone est aménagée de façon à améliorer les conditions d'attente des voyageurs. Elle peut ainsi comporter par exemple des sièges individuels 15, des bancs 16, des supports d'appui ischiatique 17, des tables de travail ou des rebords 18 permettant aux voyageurs de poser leurs affaires. On peut également prévoir, par exemple, dans cette zone un affichage d'information, une borne automatique 19 d'achat et de délivrance de titres de transport et/ou de compostage, un distributeur de boissons, de nourriture, de billets ou de monnaie, ou tout autre dispositif simple ou interactif utile aux voyageurs ou pouvant rendre leur attente plus agréable. Cette zone peut par exemple, mais non limitativement, être aménagée de la manière représentée sur les figures 1 à 4. Cette zone rend l'attente utile et plus confortable aux voyageurs obligés de patienter pour embarquer dans un véhicule de transport en commun. Elle peut également constituer un point de rendez-vous ou un lieu de repos protégé et parfaitement intégré dans le paysage urbain, permettant aux piétons et aux promeneurs fatigués de s ' asseoir confortablement afin de se reposer quelques minutes .The long-term waiting area 13 is completely or partially surrounded by walls 8 on three of its sides and opens onto the interior of the waiting station. It is therefore particularly protected in order to isolate travelers awaiting bad weather, cold, wind and urban noise. This area is designed to improve travelers' waiting conditions. It can thus include for example individual seats 15, benches 16, ischial support supports 17, work tables or ledges 18 allowing travelers to put their belongings. One can also provide, for example, in this area an information display, an automatic terminal 19 for purchasing and issuing tickets and / or composting, a distributor of drinks, food, tickets or currency , or any other simple or interactive device useful to travelers or which can make their waiting more pleasant. This area can for example, but not limited to, be arranged in the manner shown in Figures 1 to 4. This area makes waiting useful and more comfortable for travelers forced to wait to board a public transport vehicle. It can also be a meeting point or a protected resting place perfectly integrated into the urban landscape, allowing tired pedestrians and walkers to sit comfortably in order to rest for a few minutes.
La station 1 d ' attente et d ' embarquement- débarquement selon 1 ' invention comprend également une zone d'attente de courte durée 14 prévue pour accueillir les voyageurs prêts à embarquer dans le véhicule de transport en commun. Elle est de ce fait beaucoup plus dégagée que la zone d'attente de longue durée 13. Elle ne comporte pas de sièges, mais est par exemple pourvue de supports d'appui ischiatique 17 ou de structures de prise d'appui et de retenue 20 par exemple du type main-courante, disposés sur les montants verticaux 6, sur des barres horizontales 21 ou contre les parois 8. Les voyageurs peuvent ainsi manoeuvrer facilement les fauteuils roulants pour handicapés, les poussettes et autres véhicules d'enfants, valises sur roulettes ou tout autre objet ou dispositif encombrant, en vue de leur embarquement dans le véhicule 4 de transport en commun, sans être gênés par, et sans déranger, les voyageurs assis dans la zone d ' attente de longue durée 13. La zone d'attente de courte durée 14 est dégagée et ne comporte pas d ' équipements encombrants . Elle se poursuit longitudinalement par un passage transversal matérialisé par une signalisation au sol. Ce passage se poursuit côté voie par un espace intermédiaire 22 entre le corps de la station et le véhicule ou un seuil 22 d'embarquement-débarquement, formé d ' une avancée transversale 23 du sol 24 de la station sur la bordure de la voie 3, constituant un prolongement du trottoir 2, une couverture et des moyens de guidage et de protection latérale du flux de voyageurs sortant ou entrant. L'accès à la porte du véhicule s'effectue ainsi sans différence de niveau, facilitant l'embarquement et le débarquement pour tous les voyageurs, avantage particulièrement sensible aux personnes âgées, handicapées, accompagnées d'enfants ou transportant des objets lourds ou volumineux.The waiting and embarkation / disembarkation station 1 according to the invention also includes a short-term waiting zone 14 intended to receive travelers ready to embark on the public transport vehicle. It is therefore much clearer than the long-term waiting area 13. It does not have seats, but is for example provided with ischial support supports 17 or support and retaining support structures 20 for example of the handrail type, arranged on the vertical uprights 6, on horizontal bars 21 or against the walls 8. The travelers can thus easily maneuver wheelchairs for the disabled, strollers and other children's vehicles, suitcases on casters or any other object or bulky device, with a view to boarding it in the public transport vehicle 4, without being hindered by, and without disturbing, the passengers seated in the long-term waiting area 13. The short-term waiting area 14 is clear and does not include bulky equipment. It continues longitudinally by a transverse passage materialized by a signaling on the ground. This passage continues on the track side by an intermediate space 22 between the body of the station and the vehicle or a boarding-disembarking threshold 22, formed by a transverse projection 23 from the ground 24 of the station on the edge of track 3 , constituting an extension of the sidewalk 2, a cover and means for guiding and lateral protection of the flow of passengers leaving or entering. Access to the vehicle door is thus carried out without any difference in level, making boarding and disembarking easier for all travelers, an advantage which is particularly noticeable for the elderly, the disabled, accompanied by children or carrying heavy or bulky objects.
Cette avancée 23 matérialise la position de la porte d'accès ou de sortie du véhicule de transport en commun lors de son arrêt à la station. L'espace intermédiaire 22 est bordé de moyens ou de structures de protection et de guidage de part et d'autre du seuil.This projection 23 materializes the position of the access or exit door of the public transport vehicle when it stops at the station. The intermediate space 22 is bordered by means or structures for protection and guidance on either side of the threshold.
L'espace intermédiaire ou seuil 22 d ' embarquement-débarquement est fermé en partie supérieure et protégé jusqu'au véhicule par exemple par une structure d'auvent 25 prolongeant localement en élévation le toit 9 de la station selon une forme incurvée. Lorsque le véhicule de transport en commun 4 est arrêté au niveau de la station d'attente selon l'invention, l'extrémité extérieure 26 de l'auvent 25 recouvre partiellement celui-ci au niveau de sa porte d'entrée, afin d'abriter les voyageurs des intempéries jusqu'à leur pénétration dans le véhicule et dès leur sortie. Cette caractéristique avantageuse de la station selon 1 ' invention est illustrée plus particulièrement par la figure 3. La station d ' attente selon 1 ' invention est fermée sur sa face avant, située en regard de la voie ou chaussée 3, jusqu'à l'espace intermédiaire d'embarquement-débarquement 22 par une séparation longitudinale rapprochée de la voie. Cette séparation, formant la paroi latérale longitudinale avant de la station, obture au moins partiellement la face de la station située en regard de la voie. Elle est réalisée par exemple par des panneaux verticaux 8 constituant une paroi latérale longitudinale de protection 29 qui protège les voyageurs en attente dans les zones d ' attente de longue et de courte durée des éclaboussures et des dangers de la circulation et les isole de la voie réservée aux véhicules de transport en commun. Grâce à cette paroi de protection 29, les voyageurs attendant à 1 ' intérieur de la station ne peuvent pas longer la station par 1 ' extérieur côté voie et sont obligés d'emprunter le seuil d'embarquement 22 pour accéder au véhicule, renforçant ainsi leur sécurité. Cette paroi de protection permet aussi d'implanter la station plus près de la voie, laissant une zone extrêmement étroite sur 1 ' avant côté voie se limitant pratiquement à une bordure, ce qui permet de dégager un espace supplémentaire à 1 ' arrière de la station.The intermediate space or threshold 22 of embarkation and disembarkation is closed at the top and protected up to the vehicle, for example by a canopy structure 25 locally extending in elevation the roof 9 of the station in a curved shape. When the public transport vehicle 4 is stopped at the standby station according to the invention, the outer end 26 of the canopy 25 partially covers it at its front door, in order to shelter travelers from bad weather until they enter the vehicle and as soon as they exit. This advantageous characteristic of the station according to the invention is illustrated more particularly by FIG. 3. The waiting station according to the invention is closed on its front face, situated opposite the track or pavement 3, up to the intermediate embarkation-disembarkation space 22 by a longitudinal separation close to the track. This separation, forming the front longitudinal side wall of the station, at least partially closes the face of the station located opposite the track. It is produced for example by vertical panels 8 constituting a longitudinal side protective wall 29 which protects travelers waiting in long and short-term waiting areas from splashes and traffic dangers and isolates them from the track reserved for public transport vehicles. Thanks to this protective wall 29, travelers waiting inside the station cannot go along the station from the outside on the track side and are forced to take the boarding threshold 22 to access the vehicle, thus strengthening their security. This protective wall also makes it possible to locate the station closer to the track, leaving an extremely narrow zone on the front side of the track which is practically limited to a border, which makes it possible to free up additional space at the rear of the station. .
La station d ' attente comporte sur sa face arrière une ouverture d'entrée principale 27 permettant aux voyageurs marchant sur le trottoir 2 de pénétrer dans la zone d'attente de courte durée 14. L'ouverture d'entrée principale 27 est située en face du seuil protégé 22 d'embarquement-débarquement, mettant ainsi le seuil 22 directement en communication avec le trottoir 2 par un chemin d'accès interne traversant 28 sûr et pratique, pouvant par exemple être matérialisé par un marquage au sol. Les personnes arrivant juste au moment de monter dans le véhicule peuvent rapidement se rendre, sans avoir à faire de détours, du trottoir 2 au véhicule de transport en commun, en empruntant le chemin d'accès interne 28 traversant la station transversalement puis le seuil d'embarquement 22. De même, les passagers quittant le véhicule de transport en commun débarquent sur le seuil 22 et peuvent facilement regagner le trottoir par le chemin d'accès interne 28 sans être gênés par les voyageurs en attente, les aménagements ou les parois de la station. Cette gêne fréquemment rencontrée avec les abris de bus classiques, obligeant les passagers débarquant à contourner 1 ' abri et ceci parfois de façon imprudente en marchant sur la chaussée, est évitée.The waiting station has on its rear face a main entrance opening 27 allowing travelers walking on the sidewalk 2 to enter the short-term waiting area 14. The main entrance opening 27 is located opposite of the protected embarkation-disembarkation threshold 22, thus putting threshold 22 directly in communication with the sidewalk 2 by a safe and practical internal crossing path 28, which can for example be materialized by a marking on the ground. People arriving just when getting into the vehicle can quickly get from sidewalk 2 to the public transport vehicle, without having to make detours, by taking the internal access road 28 crossing the station transversely then the threshold boarding 22. Likewise, passengers leaving the public transport vehicle disembark on threshold 22 and can easily return to the sidewalk by the internal access path 28 without being hindered by waiting passengers, installations or walls of the station. This discomfort frequently encountered with conventional bus shelters, forcing disembarking passengers to bypass the shelter and this sometimes recklessly when walking on the roadway, is avoided.
Les voyageurs, qui viennent de l'intérieur de la station, du trottoir ou du véhicule, sont ainsi canalisés et forcés à emprunter le chemin d ' accès interne 28 sécurisé, pratique et direct. Les passagers sont dissuadés de contourner la station par l'avant du fait de la bordure extrêmement étroite existant entre la station et la voie mais aussi et surtout du fait d'équipements, tels que des garde-fous, barrières ou structures de prise d'appui et de guide 20, pouvant être rajoutés le long du seuil d'embarquement 22 afin de constituer des obstacles gênants permettant de contraindre et d'aider les voyageurs à passer par le seuil.Travelers, who come from inside the station, the sidewalk or the vehicle, are thus channeled and forced to take the internal access path 28 secure, practical and direct. Passengers are discouraged from bypassing the station from the front because of the extremely narrow border between the station and the track but also and above all because of equipment, such as guardrails, barriers or hold structures. support and guide 20, which can be added along the boarding threshold 22 in order to constitute annoying obstacles making it possible to constrain and help travelers to pass through the threshold.
Les trajets sécurisés des voyageurs entre 1 ' intérieur de la station et le véhicule de transport en commun et entre le trottoir et le véhicule de transport en commun sont schématisés par des flèches sur la figure 8.The secure journeys of travelers between the interior of the station and the public transport vehicle and between the sidewalk and the public transport vehicle are shown diagrammatically by arrows in FIG. 8.
La figure 5 illustre un deuxième mode de réalisation de la station d'attente selon l'invention, spécialement conçu pour être implanté sur un trottoir de faible largeur ou dans les zones très fréquentées par les piétons. La station d'attente, selon ce deuxième mode de réalisation, présente une structure globalement parallélépipédique très proche de celle précédemment décrite. Son espace intérieur 7 est également partagé entre une zone d ' attente de longue durée 13 et une zone d'attente de courte durée 14. La zone d'attente de courte durée 14 présente sur sa face arrière une ouverture d ' entrée 27 et sur sa face avant un espace intermédiaire ou seuil 22 d' embarquement- débarquement abrité par un auvent 25, situés aux deux extrémités d'un chemin d'accès interne 28 transversal à la station et reliant directement le trottoir 2 au véhicule 4 de transport en commun.FIG. 5 illustrates a second embodiment of the waiting station according to the invention, specially designed to be installed on a narrow sidewalk or in areas very frequented by pedestrians. The waiting station, according to this second embodiment, has a generally parallelepipedal structure very close to that previously described. Its interior space 7 is also shared between a long-term waiting area 13 and a short-term waiting area 14. The short-term waiting area 14 has on its rear face an entry opening 27 and on its front face an intermediate space or threshold 22 for embarkation and disembarkation sheltered by an awning 25, situated at the two ends of an internal access path 28 transverse to the station and directly connecting the sidewalk 2 to the public transport vehicle 4 .
Afin de ne pas constituer un obstacle pour les piétons désirant circuler sur le trottoir, chacune des deux faces latérales de la station selon ce mode de réalisation comporte une ouverture 30 autorisant le passage des piétons à 1 ' intérieur de la station d'attente. Les piétons peuvent pénétrer dans la station d'attente, la traverser longitudinalement et en ressortir de 1 ' autre côté sans faire de détours et sans gêner ou être gênés par les voyageurs en attente. Ils peuvent ainsi traverser la station d'attente sans s'exposer aux dangers de la circulation. Le cheminement des piétons à travers la station est représenté par des flèches sur la figure 5.In order not to constitute an obstacle for pedestrians wishing to circulate on the sidewalk, each of the two lateral faces of the station according to this embodiment has an opening 30 authorizing the passage of pedestrians inside the waiting station. Pedestrians can enter the waiting station, cross it longitudinally and exit from it on the other side without making detours and without obstructing or being embarrassed by waiting travelers. They can thus cross the waiting station without exposing themselves to the dangers of traffic. The path of pedestrians through the station is represented by arrows in Figure 5.
La face latérale de la zone d ' attente de longue durée reste, malgré l'ouverture latérale 30, partiellement fermée sur l'un de ses bords par une portion 31 de paroi. Cette portion de paroi abrite l'une des faces longitudinales de la station, contre la paroi de laquelle sont disposés les sièges 15, bancs et autres équipements de la zone d'attente de longue durée.Despite the lateral opening 30, the lateral face of the long-term waiting zone remains partially closed on one of its edges by a portion 31 of the wall. This wall portion houses one of the longitudinal faces of the station, against the wall of which are arranged the seats 15, benches and other equipment of the long-term waiting area.
Au contraire, la face longitudinale correspondant au bord ouvert de la face latérale ne comporte pas de sièges ou analogues. Elle reste dégagée afin de permettre la libre circulation des piétons à travers la station d ' attente ou de permettre 1 ' attente debout en cas d'affluence.On the contrary, the longitudinal face corresponding to the open edge of the side face does not have seats or the like. It remains clear in order to allow free movement of pedestrians through the waiting station or to allow standing waiting in case of crowds.
Grâce à la structure et à 1 ' aménagement améliorés de ce mode de réalisation de la station selon l'invention, les voyageurs en attente restent, malgré les ouvertures latérales 30, relativement protégés des intempéries et ne sont pas dérangés par le passage des piétons qui peuvent librement traverser la station.Thanks to the improved structure and arrangement of this embodiment of the station according to the invention, waiting travelers remain, despite the side openings 30, relatively protected from the weather and are not disturbed by the passage of pedestrians which can freely cross the station.
Ce mode de réalisation est parfaitement adapté lorsque, malgré l'avancement de la station le plus près possible de la chaussée, le passage libre sur le trottoir entre les immeubles et la station reste étroit ou lorsqu ' une importante densité de piétons est à craindre dans ce passage. Le contournement dangereux de la station par la chaussée est ainsi évité grâce à la possible traversée de la station d'attente par les piétons .This embodiment is perfectly suited when, despite the progress of the station as close as possible to the road, the free passage on the sidewalk between the buildings and the station remains narrow or when a high density of pedestrians is to be feared in this passage. The dangerous bypassing of the station by the roadway is thus avoided thanks to the possible crossing of the waiting station by pedestrians.
Les figures 6 et 7 illustrent deux autres modes de réalisation découlant des précédents par des modifications et des adjonctions diverses, mais dont les caractéristiques essentielles restent identiques. Ces deux autres variantes ne sont que des exemples de réalisation non limitatifs, illustrant la modularité de la station selon la présente invention.Figures 6 and 7 illustrate two other embodiments arising from the foregoing by various modifications and additions, but the essential characteristics of which remain identical. These two other variants are only nonlimiting exemplary embodiments, illustrating the modularity of the station according to the present invention.
Selon ces variantes, plusieurs autres zones d'attente et seuils d'embarquement-débarquement ont été ajoutés à la station de base précédemment décrite afin de l'agrandir longitudinalement ou transversalement.According to these variants, several other waiting zones and embarkation-disembarkation thresholds have been added to the base station previously described in order to enlarge it longitudinally or transversely.
La variante représentée sur la figure 6 plus particulièrement destinée aux zones de forte affluence comporte, par exemple, trois seuils 22 d' embarquement- débarquement avec auvent matérialisant l'emplacement des portes du véhicule de transport en commun lors de son arrêt, afin de permettre aux passagers d'accéder simultanément à plusieurs véhicules de transport en commun différents ou à plusieurs entrées d'un même véhicule. On peut ainsi accéder simultanément à trois portes, correspondant par exemple à trois voitures successives d'une même rame de transport urbain.The variant shown in Figure 6 more particularly intended for high-traffic areas includes, for example, three thresholds 22 of embarkation - disembarkation with canopy materializing the location of the doors of the public transport vehicle during its stop, in order to allow passengers to access simultaneously to several different public transport vehicles or to several entrances of the same vehicle. One can thus simultaneously access three doors, corresponding for example to three successive cars of the same urban transport train.
Cette station, plus longue que les précédentes, est constituée de plusieurs zones telles que décrites précédemment. Elle comporte en effet successivement de gauche à droite : un premier seuil d'embarquement 22, une zone traversante d'attente de longue durée 13, une petite zone d'attente de courte durée 14, un deuxième seuil d'embarquement 22, une deuxième petite zone d'attente de courte durée 14, une zone fermée d'attente de longue durée 13 et un troisième seuil d'embarquement 22. Cette station d'attente comporte sur sa face arrière trois ouvertures d'entrée 27 situées en face de chaque seuil d ' embarquement 22 permettant un accès direct du trottoir au véhicule de transport en commun par trois chemins d'accès interne 28.This station, longer than the previous ones, consists of several zones as described above. It in fact comprises successively from left to right: a first boarding threshold 22, a long waiting waiting zone 13, a small short waiting area 14, a second boarding threshold 22, a second small short-term waiting area 14, a closed long-term waiting area 13 and a third boarding threshold 22. This waiting station has on its rear side three entrance openings 27 located opposite each boarding threshold 22 allowing direct access from the sidewalk to the public transport vehicle by three internal access paths 28.
Le mode de réalisation de la figure 7 est identique à celui de la figure 6, mais comprend en plus une zone traversante d'attente de longue durée 13 et un seuil d'embarquement-débarquement 22. Cette station est formée d'une station simple à laquelle on a adjoint une station combinée comportant deux passages de chaque côté dont un passage mixte à quatre entrées /sorties, deux d'entre elles en vis à vis donnant sur les voies longeant la station. Ces adjonctions par exemple selon deux éléments supplémentaires, accolés à la deuxième zone d'attente de longue durée 13 et au troisième seuil d'embarquement 22 de la variante précédente, agrandissent la station transversalement pour former une station de grande capacité. Ce mode de réalisation est parfaitement adapté pour une station spéciale implantée sur un trottoir central entre deux voies empruntées par des véhicules de transport en commun dans une zone de correspondance, noeud de circuit ou changement de direction. En effet, les deux derniers seuils d'embarquement 22 communiquent et sont placés dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre, permettant un accès simultané aux deux voies s ' étendant de part et d ' autre du trottoir central. Les passagers peuvent ainsi embarquer dans plusieurs véhicules de transport en commun, par exemple dans le cadre d'une correspondance. Ce mode de réalisation permet également de n'avoir besoin que d ' une unique station d ' attente pour chaque arrêt d'une ligne de transport en commun et non de deux abris correspondants aux deux sens de circulation des véhicules de transport en commun sur cette ligne. Cette station d'attente agrandie peut également servir de point d ' arrêt pour plusieurs lignes de transport en commun urbain.The embodiment of FIG. 7 is identical to that of FIG. 6, but additionally comprises a long-stay waiting zone 13 and a boarding-disembarking threshold 22. This station is formed by a single station to which a combined station has been added, comprising two passages on each side, including a mixed passage with four entrances / exits, two of them facing each other overlooking the tracks along the station. These additions, for example according to two additional elements, attached to the second long-term waiting area 13 and to the third boarding threshold 22 of the previous variant, enlarge the station transversely to form a large capacity station. This embodiment is perfectly suited for a special station located on a central sidewalk between two tracks taken by public transport vehicles in a connecting area, circuit node or change of direction. Indeed, the last two boarding thresholds 22 communicate and are placed in the extension of one another, allowing simultaneous access to the two lanes extending on either side of the central sidewalk. Passengers can therefore board several public transport vehicles, for example in connection with a connection. This embodiment also makes it possible to need only a single waiting station for each stop of a public transport line and not two shelters corresponding to the two directions of movement of the public transport vehicles on this line. This enlarged waiting station can also serve as a stopping point for several urban public transport lines.
La station, telle que représentée sur la figure 7, peut être entièrement traversée par les piétons, leur cheminement à travers la station étant schématisé par des flèches. Les piétons n'ont aucun contournement peu pratique ou dangereux à effectuer.The station, as shown in Figure 7, can be crossed entirely by pedestrians, their path through the station being shown diagrammatically by arrows. Pedestrians have no impractical or dangerous bypass to make.
La station d'attente selon l'invention est modulable à volonté afin de répondre aux différents besoins ou souhaits rencontrés dans chaque situation. Il est possible d'ajouter longitudinalement ou transversalement une ou plusieurs zones d'attente de longue ou de courte durée, ainsi qu'un ou plusieurs seuils d'accès au véhicule. L'aménagement et les équipements intérieurs peuvent de même être modifiés. Cependant, les variantes résultant de ces diverses modifications, adjonctions ou suppressions conservent les caractéristiques essentielles de la station selon l'invention et n'échappent pas à sa portée telle que définie dans les revendications. The waiting station according to the invention is modular at will in order to meet the different needs or wishes encountered in each situation. It is possible to add longitudinally or transversely one or more long or short-term waiting zones, as well as one or more thresholds for access to the vehicle. The interior fittings and equipment can also be modified. However, the variants resulting from these various modifications, additions or deletions retain the essential characteristics of the station according to the invention and do not escape its scope as defined in the claims.
