Description

L'invention concerne l'agencement des nacelles et des quais d'accostage de ponts transbordeurs.The invention relates to the arrangement of nacelles and berths docking trans-ferries.

Les ponts transbordeurs sont connus depuis la fin du dix-neuvième siècle comme moyen d'acheminement rapide de véhicules et de piétons d'une rive à l'autre d'un fleuve. Il s'agit des ponts suspendus dont le tablier est placé en hauteur sur deux pylônes installés de chaque coté d'un fleuve. Sous le tablier, se déplace un chariot auquel la nacelle est suspendue par des câbles triangulés pour éviter tout phénomène de balancement.Transhipment bridges have been known since the late nineteenth century as a means of rapid transportation of vehicles and pedestrians from one bank to the other of a river. These are suspended bridges whose deck is placed high on two pylons installed on each side of a river. Under the apron, moves a carriage to which the basket is suspended by triangulated cables to avoid any phenomenon of swaying.

Les ponts transbordeurs ont pour avantage de laisser libre le passage au trafic maritime et, par rapport aux bacs maritimes, d'être indépendants des phénomènes de marée, plus rapides, plus confortables et plus sûrs.Ferry bridges have the advantage of allowing free passage to maritime traffic and, compared to ferry boats, to be independent of tides, faster, more comfortable and safer.

Cependant, en dépit de ces avantages, la technologie des ponts transbordeurs a pratiquement cessé d'être utilisée à partir du milieu du siècle dernier, notoirement en raison de son incapacité à répondre aux cadences imposées par l'accroissement du trafic.However, despite these advantages, the technology of the ferry cranes virtually ceased to be used from the middle of the last century, notoriously because of its inability to respond to the rates imposed by increased traffic.

Les inventeurs ont identifié l'une des raisons essentielles de cette limitation en termes de débit, à savoir le fait que dans les nacelles des ponts transbordeurs connus, lors de l'embarquement et du débarquement, les flux des véhicules et des passagers sont mélangés.The inventors have identified one of the essential reasons for this limitation in terms of flow, namely the fact that in the nacelles of known ferry bridges, during loading and unloading, the flows of vehicles and passengers are mixed.

L'invention a pour but de remédier à cet inconvénient.The object of the invention is to remedy this drawback.

Elle a pour objet un pont transbordeur du type dans lequel deux ensembles de pylônes ancrés de part et d'autre d'une voie de communication, tel qu'un fleuve, portent en hauteur un tablier sous lequel se déplace un chariot, auquel est suspendue une nacelle assurant le transport simultané de véhicules et de passagers entre deux quais d'accostage de part et d'autre de ladite voie de communication, la plateforme de ladite nacelle étant divisée en une zone centrale dédiée au transport des véhicules et deux zones latérales dédiées au transport des passagers, caractérisé en ce que les zones de transport des passagers ont leurs accès disposés sur les côtés latéraux externes de la nacelle par rapport à l'axe de déplacement de la nacelle, la zone de transport des véhicules a ses accès disposés sur les côtés opposés aux dits côtés latéraux et en ce que les quais d'accostage de la nacelle comportent des moyens de séparation des véhicules et des passagers en deux flux dirigés respectivement en direction de leurs accès spécifiques.It has for object a transhipment bridge of the type in which two sets of pylons anchored on both sides of a communication channel, such as a river, carry in height an apron under which a carriage moves, which is suspended a basket carrying the simultaneous transport of vehicles and passengers between two berths on each side of said communication path, the platform of said nacelle being divided into a central zone dedicated to the transport of vehicles and two lateral zones dedicated to the transport of passengers, characterized in the passenger transport zones have their access points arranged on the lateral lateral sides of the nacelle with respect to the axis of movement of the nacelle, the vehicle transport zone has its access points arranged on the opposite sides of the said lateral sides; and in that the docking platforms of the nacelle comprise means for separating the vehicles and the passengers in two flows directed respectively towards their specific accesses.

Du fait de cette combinaison de dispositions, on obtient pour résultat que d'une part la circulation des véhicules lors des phases d'embarquement et de débarquement est totalement séparée géographiquement de - et donc non gênée par - la présence des passagers et d'autre part que la surface d'accès des passagers est très grandement augmentée, puisqu'elle peut s'étendre sur toute la longueur de la nacelle, alors que dans les nacelles connues elle est limitée à une portion de la largeur de la plateforme, généralement l'entrée de la chaussée destinée aux véhicules. Ceci constitue un facteur d'accélération très important de la cadence d'embarquement et débarquement des passagers en toute sécurité.Because of this combination of provisions, the result is that on the one hand the circulation of the vehicles during the loading and unloading phases is totally separated geographically from - and therefore unencumbered by - the presence of passengers and other the passenger access surface is greatly increased, since it can extend over the entire length of the platform, whereas in known nacelles it is limited to a portion of the width of the platform, generally entrance to the roadway intended for vehicles. This is a very important factor of acceleration of the rate of boarding and disembarking passengers safely.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre d'un exemple de réalisation en référence au dessin annexé qui représente schématiquement une nacelle de pont transbordeur et son quai d'accostage, agencés conformément à l'invention.Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge from the following description of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawing which schematically shows a transhipment bridge nacelle and its docking dock, arranged in accordance with the invention.

Sur la figure unique, les références désignent respectivement : 1, la voie de communication, par exemple un fleuve, sur laquelle est implanté le pont transbordeur ; 2, l'une des rives du fleuve 1 ; 3, la nacelle ; 4, les câbles reliant la nacelle 3 au chariot porté par le tablier du pont ; 5, la zone centrale de la plateforme de la nacelle 3 ; 6, les zones latérales de la dite plateforme ; 7, le quai d'accostage de la nacelle 3. Pour ne pas alourdir la description, les autres éléments du pont transbordeur (pylônes, tablier, chariot, etc.), bien connus de l'homme de l'art, n'ont pas été représentés. De même, n'a été représenté que le quai d'un seul côté de la voie de communication desservie par le pont transbordeur, l'agencement du quai étant identique sur chaque rive.In the single figure, the references denote respectively: 1, the communication channel, for example a river, on which the transhipment bridge is implanted; 2, one of the banks of the river 1; 3, the nacelle; 4, the cables connecting the nacelle 3 to the trolley carried by the deck of the bridge; 5, the central area of the platform of the nacelle 3; 6, the lateral areas of said platform; 7, the berthing platform of the nacelle 3. In order not to weigh down the description, the other elements of the transporter bridge (pylons, deck, trolley, etc.), well known to those skilled in the art, have not represented. Similarly, only the wharf on one side of the communication channel served by the ferry bridge has been shown, the layout of the wharf being identical on each bank.

On voit que la plateforme de la nacelle 3 comporte une zone centrale 5, dont les accès sont disposés selon l'axe longitudinal de déplacement A de la nacelle et qui est dédiée aux véhicules 8. Cette zone centrale est bordée par deux zones latérales 6, réalisées comme des cabines d'accueil des passagers 10 s'étendant sur toute la longueur de la plateforme, fermées du côté de la zone centrale 5 et de leurs extrémités disposées selon l'axe A et munies de portes d'accès 9 disposées sur leurs faces latérales externes respectives.It can be seen that the platform of the nacelle 3 comprises a central zone 5, whose accesses are arranged along the longitudinal axis of displacement A of the nacelle and which is dedicated to the vehicles 8. This central zone is bordered by two lateral zones 6, performed as passenger reception cabins 10 extending over the entire length of the platform, closed on the side of the central zone 5 and their ends arranged along the axis A and provided with access doors 9 arranged on their respective outer side faces.

Sur le quai d'accostage 7, au droit de chacune des deux cabines 6, sont disposés des moyens de guidage du cheminement 11 des passagers 10 sur le quai, tels que des marquages au sol ou des barrières, de manière à séparer leur flux de celui des véhicules 8.On the docking platform 7, at the right of each of the two cabins 6, there are arranged means for guiding the path 11 of the passengers 10 on the platform, such as floor markings or barriers, so as to separate their flow from the vehicle. that of vehicles 8.

En variante, l'intérieur comme l'extérieur des cabines peuvent également être aménagés de telle sorte que seules certaines des portes d'accès soient dédiées à la montée des passagers, les autres étant dédiées à leur descente. Ceci permet d'organiser en continu le flux des passagers montant dans la cabine avec le flux des passagers en descendant.Alternatively, the inside and outside cabins can also be arranged so that only some of the access doors are dedicated to the rise of passengers, the others being dedicated to their descent. This makes it possible to continuously organize the flow of passengers getting into the cabin with the flow of passengers down.

Dans l'exemple représenté, on voit que le quai d'accostage 7 présente une excavation destinée à recevoir la partie basse de la nacelle de sorte que le plancher de sa plateforme se trouve au niveau de la chaussée du quai.In the example shown, we see that the docking dock 7 has an excavation for receiving the lower part of the nacelle so that the floor of its platform is at the floor of the platform.

En variante, l'agencement du quai d'accostage peut être conçu sans excavation, la nacelle venant au-dessus du niveau du quai. Dans ce cas, le quai est équipé de rampes d'accès aussi bien pour les véhicules que pour les passagers.Alternatively, the arrangement of the docking dock can be designed without excavation, the platform coming above the level of the dock. In this case, the platform is equipped with ramps for both vehicles and passengers.

Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en liaison avec un mode de réalisation particulier, il est bien évident qu'elle n'y est nullement limitée et qu'elle comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits, ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles-ci entrent dans le cadre de l'invention.Although the invention has been described with reference to a particular embodiment, it is obvious that it is in no way limited thereto and that it comprises all the technical equivalents of the means described, as well as their combinations if these These are within the scope of the invention.
