  • the rear-end portion is preferably streamlined and can be provided with a panoramic windshield and with a passenger area, which can include passenger seats.
  • the seats at both ends of the vehicle can also be individual pivotable seats, such that the passengers in the front and rear passenger areas can always sit in the direction of travel.
  • the passenger rail vehicle can be a single-deck vehicle or a double-deck vehicle, a multiple-car or single car vehicle and is preferably self-propelled.
  • the passenger rail vehicle is preferably provided with at least one video unit for continuously acquiring images of a track in front of the front-end portion of the rail vehicle, the driving cabin being provided with at least one display screen for displaying the images from the video unit, as disclosed e.g. in EP 0 695 253 .
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a rail vehicle according to the invention.
  • a self-propelled multiple-unit passenger rail vehicle 10 for circulating on a standard gauge rail track 12.
  • the rail vehicle includes at least a front carriage and a rear carriage, and potentially one or several intermediate carriages.
  • the multiple-unit rail vehicle 10 has a streamlined front-end portion 14, an intermediate portion 16 and a rear-end portion 18.
  • the front-end and rear-end portions extend over less than half the length of the front, resp. rear carriages.
  • the intermediate portion includes more than half of the front and rear carriages and, if provided, all the intermediate carriages.
  • the front-end portion 14 includes a front bogie 20, and the rear-end portion 18 a rear bogie 22. These bogies can be motorised.
  • the vehicle is provided with a driving cabin 25, which can be located anywhere in the intermediate portion 16 of the vehicle, offset from the front-end portion 14 and rear-end portion 18 of the vehicle without direct view through the windshield on the track in front of the vehicle.
  • the driving cabin 25 is provided with at least one driver's seat 26 in front of at least one control desk 28 including at least one visual display screen 30 connected to a set of video units 31 for displaying real time images of the track in the direction of travel 32.
  • the driving cabin is preferably provided with a door for isolating the driving cabin from the passenger saloon in the intermediate portion.
  • the free space at the front end of the vehicle is allocated to passengers. More specifically, a passenger area 34 equipped with seats 36 located in the front-end portion and facing a panoramic windshield 38 providing the passengers with a wide-angle outside view on the rail track in front of the rail vehicle.
  • the seats 36 have seat cushions 36A and seat backs 36B and are arranged in a plurality of rows one behind the other.
  • the passenger area 34 is preferably a passenger compartment, separated from the main saloon 38 in the intermediate part 16 of the vehicle by a partition wall 40, with an access door 42.
  • the surface of the windshield 38 is maximised, reaching from a height 44 below the height of the cushions 36A of the seats 36 in the front passenger compartment 34 and preferably from the floor level 37 in the front passenger compartment up to a height 46 above the height of the back 36B of the seats 36 and preferably greater than 1.8 meters measured from the floor level.
  • the windshield 38 is made of a transparent material, preferably glass, in one or several planar of curved panes to give a maximum external view to the passengers.
  • the front-end portion 14 is provided with side windows 46 in continuity with the windshield. Structural pillars between the panes of the windshield and/or between the windshield 38 and the side windows 46 can be added to confer rigidity to the structure of the front-end portion.
