Insbesondere um kurze Fahrgastwechselzeiten zu ermöglichen, ist es von Fahrzeugbetreibern oftmals gewünscht, dass eine belegte Mehrzweckfläche möglichst keine oder nur geringe Einschränkungen auf den Fahrgastfluss ein-/aussteigender Fahrgäste hat. Mit anderen Worten, das Abstellen eines Rollstuhls, eines Fahrrads, eines Kinderwagens oder dergleichen auf einer Mehrzweckfläche soll Fahrgäste nach Wunsch vieler Fahrzeugbetreiber möglichst wenig beim Ein-/Aussteigen behindern.In order to enable short passenger switching times in particular, vehicle operators often want an occupied multi-purpose area to have little or no restrictions on the flow of passengers entering / exiting. In other words, the parking of a wheelchair, a bicycle, a stroller or the like on a multi-purpose area should, according to the wishes of many vehicle operators, hinder passengers as little as possible when getting on / off.

Aus der EP 0 307 343 A1 ist ein Gelenktriebwagen für den Nahverkehr bekannt, der aus einer dreigliedrigen Einheit mit zwei Endwagen und einem Mittelwagen besteht, dessen Wagenkästen gelenkig und durch Übergangseinrichtungen miteinander verbunden sind.From the EP 0 307 343 A1 an articulated railcar for local traffic is known, which consists of a three-part unit with two end cars and an intermediate car, the car bodies of which are articulated and connected to one another by transition devices.

Aus der DE 29704895 U1 ist ein Niederflur-Stadtbahnwagen bekannt, bei dem ein angetriebener kurzer Fahrzeugteil und ein nicht angetriebener, mit einem Fahrerraum versehener Fahrzeugteil gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Fahrzeugteile einen in Richtung auf die Schiene abgesenkten, niederflurigen Fußboden beinhalten.From the DE 29704895 U1 a low-floor light rail vehicle is known in which a driven short vehicle part and a non-driven vehicle part provided with a driver's compartment are articulated to one another, the vehicle parts including a low-floor floor lowered in the direction of the rail.

Eine Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Fahrzeug zur Personenbeförderung bereitzustellen, das diesem Wunsch Rechnung trägt.It is an object of the invention to provide a vehicle for passenger transportation that meets this desire.

Vorliegend ermöglicht es der Wagenübergang des Fahrzeugs einem Fahrgast, aus dem ersten Wagenkasten in den zweiten Wagenkasten zu gelangen oder umgekehrt aus dem zweiten Wagenkasten in den ersten Wagenkasten zu gelangen.A car junction is to be understood as a device through which a person can get from one vehicle body into another vehicle body. In the present case, the car junction of the vehicle enables a passenger to get from the first car body into the second car body or, conversely, to get from the second car body into the first car body.

Der Wagenübergang des Fahrzeugs kann eine geringere Breite als der erste Wagenkasten und/oder als der zweite Wagenkasten aufweisen. Ferner können der erste und der zweite Wagenkasten die gleiche Breite aufweisen.The car junction of the vehicle can have a smaller width than the first car body and / or than the second car body. Furthermore, the first and the second car body can have the same width.

Vorzugsweise ist das Fahrzeug im öffentlichen Personenverkehr, insbesondere im Nahverkehr, einsetzbar. Das Fahrzeug kann beispielsweise ein Schienenfahrzeug sein. Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Fahrzeug ein Straßenbahnfahrzeug. Außerdem kann das Fahrzeug als Einrichtungsfahrzeug oder als Zweirichtungsfahrzeug ausgebildet sein.The vehicle can preferably be used in public transport, in particular in local transport. The vehicle can be a rail vehicle, for example. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the vehicle is a tram vehicle. In addition, the vehicle can be designed as a one-way vehicle or as a bidirectional vehicle.

Des Weiteren ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Fahrzeug in Niederflurbauweise ausgeführt ist. Mit anderen Worten, das Fahrzeug ist vorteilhafterweise ein Niederflurfahrzeug. Dadurch können Fahrgästen, die behinderungs- oder altersbedingt in ihrer Mobilität eingeschränkt sind, der Einstieg in das Fahrzeug sowie der Ausstieg aus dem Fahrzeug erleichtert werden. Außerdem lassen sich durch eine Ausführung des Fahrzeugs in Niederflurbauweise kurze Fahrgastwechselzeiten realisieren.It is also advantageous if the vehicle has a low-floor design. In other words, the vehicle is advantageously a low-floor vehicle. This makes it easier for passengers who are restricted in their mobility due to disabilities or age to get in and out of the vehicle. In addition, by designing the vehicle in a low-floor design, short passenger change times can be achieved.

Das Fahrzeug kann beispielweise eine Einstiegshöhe von maximal 400 mm, insbesondere maximal 350 mm, besonders bevorzugt maximal 300 mm, aufweisen. Ferner ist es bevorzugt, wenn der Niederfluranteil des Fahrzeugs 100% beträgt. Das heißt, das Fahrzeug kann insbesondere ein sogenanntes 100%-Niederflurfahrzeug sein.The vehicle can, for example, have an entry height of a maximum of 400 mm, in particular a maximum of 350 mm, particularly preferably a maximum of 300 mm. It is also preferred if the low-floor portion of the vehicle is 100%. This means that the vehicle can in particular be a so-called 100% low-floor vehicle.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist das Fahrzeug ein Gelenk auf, durch welches die beiden Wagenkästen miteinander verbunden sind. Mit anderen Worten, das Fahrzeug ist vorteilhafterweise als Gelenkfahrzeug ausgebildet. Auf diese Weise kann eine gute Kurvengängigkeit des Fahrzeugs erreicht werden. Zweckmäßigerweise ist das Gelenk im Bereich des Wagenübergangs angeordnet.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the vehicle has a joint by which the two car bodies are connected to one another. In other words, the vehicle is advantageously designed as an articulated vehicle. In this way, good cornering of the vehicle can be achieved. The joint is expediently arranged in the area of the car transition.

In bevorzugter Weise ist das Gelenk als nicksteifes Gelenk, insbesondere als nicksteifes Einfachgelenk, ausgebildet. Unter einem nicksteifen Gelenk ist ein Gelenk zu verstehen, welches eine Schwenkbewegung der Wagenkästen zueinander ermöglicht, jedoch eine Nickbewegung verhindert. Dies ermöglicht - verglichen mit dem Fall, dass das Gelenk eine Nickbewegung der Wagenkästen ermöglicht - einen höheren Fahrkomfort für einen Fahrgast, der sich innerhalb des Wagenübergangs aufhält.In a preferred manner, the joint is designed as a non-nodding joint, in particular as a single joint with non-nodding properties. A nodding-resistant joint is understood to mean a joint which enables the car bodies to pivot relative to one another, but prevents a nodding movement. Compared to the case where the joint enables the car bodies to pitch, this enables greater driving comfort for a passenger who is within the intercar junction.

Erfindungsgemäß weist die Mehrzweckfläche mindestens einen Rollstuhlstellplatz auf. Unter einem Rollstuhlstellplatz ist ein Platz zum Abstellen eines Rollstuhls, insbesondere eines händisch angetriebenen Rollstuhls oder eines motorisierten Rollstuhls, wie zum Beispiel eines sogenannten Elektromobils, zu verstehen. Der Rollstuhlstellplatz kann sich über die gesamte Fläche der Mehrzweckfläche oder einen Teil davon erstrecken. Vorzugweise ist der Rollstuhlstellplatz zumindest teilweise innerhalb des Wagenübergangs angeordnet.According to the invention, the multi-purpose area has at least one wheelchair space. A wheelchair parking space is to be understood as a space for parking a wheelchair, in particular a manually driven wheelchair or a motorized wheelchair, such as a so-called electromobile. The wheelchair space may extend over all or part of the area of the multipurpose area. The wheelchair parking space is preferably arranged at least partially within the intercar junction.

Das Fahrzeug kann am Rollstuhlstellplatz mindestens eines der folgenden Elemente aufweisen:

  • ein rollstuhlfahrergerechtes Betätigungselement, wie zum Beispiel einen Taste, für einen Haltewunsch und/oder zum Öffnen einer Fahrgastzugangstür,
  • eine rollstuhlfahrergerechte Festhalteeinrichtung,
  • eine rollstuhlfahrergerechte Sprechanlage, insbesondere für Notrufe,
  • ein Anlehnelement für einen Rollstuhl,
  • eine Rückhaltevorrichtung zum Fixieren eines Rollstuhls.
The vehicle can have at least one of the following elements in the wheelchair space:
  • an actuating element suitable for wheelchair users, such as a button, for a stop request and / or for opening a passenger access door,
  • a wheelchair-accessible restraint device,
  • a wheelchair-accessible intercom, especially for emergency calls,
  • a leaning element for a wheelchair,
  • a restraint device for securing a wheelchair.

Vorzugsweise weist das Fahrzeug am Rollstuhlstellplatz mehrere, insbesondere alle, dieser Elemente auf.The vehicle preferably has several, in particular all, of these elements at the wheelchair parking space.

Das Betätigungselement, die Festhalteeinrichtung, die Sprechanlage, das Anlehnelement und/oder die Rückhaltevorrichtung können/kann zumindest teilweise innerhalb des Wagenübergangs angeordnet sein.The actuating element, the retaining device, the intercom, the leaning element and / or the restraint device can / can be arranged at least partially within the intercar junction.

Im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung kann eine Vorrichtung als "rollstuhlfahrergerecht" aufgefasst werden, wenn die Vorrichtung in solch einer niedrigen Höhe über einem Fahrgastraumfußboden des Fahrzeugs angeordnet ist, dass die Vorrichtung von einem Rollstuhlfahrer genutzt werden kann. Vorzugsweise sind die oben genannten rollstuhlfahrergerechten Vorrichtungen in einer Höhe maximal 1100 mm, insbesondere maximal 800 mm, über dem Fahrgastraumfußboden angeordnet.In the context of the present invention, a device can be understood as "wheelchair accessible" if the device is arranged at such a low height above a passenger compartment floor of the vehicle that the device can be used by a wheelchair user. The above-mentioned devices suitable for wheelchair users are preferably arranged at a maximum height of 1100 mm, in particular a maximum of 800 mm, above the passenger compartment floor.

Bei dem Anlehnelement kann es sich zum Beispiel um ein Anlehnbrett, insbesondere ein gepolstertes Anlehnbrett, handeln. Das Anlehnelement kann mit einer Seiten- oder Stirnwand des Fahrzeugs oder mit dem Fahrgastraumfußboden verbunden sein, beispielsweise über eine oder mehrere Stangen.The leaning element can be, for example, a leaning board, in particular a padded leaning board. The leaning element can have a side or end wall of the vehicle or be connected to the passenger compartment floor, for example via one or more rods.

Unter einer Festhalteeinrichtung ist vorliegend eine Einrichtung zu verstehen, an welcher sich ein Rollstuhlfahrer festhalten kann. Die Festhalteeinrichtung kann unter anderem eine oder mehrere Haltestangen umfassen.In the present case, a holding device is to be understood as a device to which a wheelchair user can hold on. The retaining device can include, among other things, one or more retaining rods.

Besagte Rückhaltevorrichtung kann beispielsweise einen Sicherheitsgurt und gegebenenfalls ein Gurtschloss umfassen. Die Rückhaltevorrichtung kann (außer zum Fixieren eines Rollstuhls) gegebenenfalls zum Fixieren eines Fahrrads, eines Kinderwagens, eines Rollators oder dergleichen genutzt werden. Alternativ kann die Mehrzweckfläche für eine solche Einrichtung eine eigene Rückhaltevorrichtung aufweisen.Said restraint device can comprise, for example, a seat belt and possibly a belt lock. The restraint device can be used (apart from for fixing a wheelchair), if necessary, for fixing a bicycle, a stroller, a rollator or the like. Alternatively, the multi-purpose area for such a device can have its own retaining device.

Des Weiteren kann die Rückhaltevorrichtung mit einer Seiten- oder Stirnwand des Fahrzeugs oder mit dem Fahrgastraumfußboden verbunden sein, beispielsweise über eine oder mehrere Stangen. Insbesondere kann die Rückhaltevorrichtung oder ein Teil davon ausklappbar am Fahrgastraumfußboden angeordnet sein. Letzteres ermöglicht eine besonders platzsparende Anordnung der Rückhaltevorrichtung im Fahrzeug.Furthermore, the restraint device can be connected to a side or front wall of the vehicle or to the passenger compartment floor, for example via one or more rods. In particular, the restraint device or a part thereof can be arranged on the passenger compartment floor such that it can be folded out. The latter enables a particularly space-saving arrangement of the restraint device in the vehicle.

Vorzugsweise ist das Fahrzeug derart ausgebildet, dass im Falle einer bestimmungsgemäßen Anordnung eines Rollstuhls auf dem Rollstuhlstellplatz der Rollstuhl zumindest im Wesentlichen längs der Fahrzeuglängsrichtung angeordnet ist. Alternativ kann das Fahrzeug derart ausgebildet sein, dass im Falle einer bestimmungsgemäßen Anordnung eines Rollstuhls auf dem Rollstuhlstellplatz der Rollstuhl zumindest im Wesentlichen senkrecht oder schräg zur Fahrzeuglängsrichtung angeordnet ist.The vehicle is preferably designed in such a way that if a wheelchair is arranged as intended on the wheelchair parking space, the wheelchair is arranged at least essentially along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Alternatively, the vehicle can be designed in such a way that if a wheelchair is arranged as intended on the wheelchair parking space, the wheelchair is arranged at least substantially perpendicularly or at an angle to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

Eine bestimmungsgemäße Anordnung eines Rollstuhls auf dem Rollstuhlstellplatz kann zum Beispiel dann vorliegen, wenn der Rollstuhl mit seiner Rückenlehne an das besagte Anlehnelement angelehnt ist und/oder wenn der Rollstuhl mittels der besagten Rückhaltevorrichtung fixiert ist. Das heißt, eine Anordnung eines Rollstuhls längs der Fahrzeuglängsrichtung, senkrecht zur Fahrzeuglängsrichtung oder schräg zur Fahrzeuglängsrichtung kann beispielsweise durch eine entsprechende Positionierung des Anlehnelements und/oder der Rückhaltevorrichtung erreicht werden.An intended arrangement of a wheelchair on the wheelchair parking space can be present, for example, when the backrest of the wheelchair is leaned against said leaning element and / or when the wheelchair is by means of the said retaining device is fixed. That is, an arrangement of a wheelchair along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle or at an angle to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle can be achieved, for example, by appropriate positioning of the leaning element and / or the restraint device.

Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn der Wagenübergang eine Durchgangsbreite von mindestens 1300 mm, vorzugsweise von mindestens 1500 mm, besonders bevorzugt von mindestens 1600 mm, aufweist. Dadurch kann erreicht werden, dass auch dann, wenn ein Rollstuhl auf dem Rollstuhlstellplatz abgestellt ist, Fahrgäste den Wagenübergang durchqueren können.It is advantageous if the car transition has a passage width of at least 1300 mm, preferably of at least 1500 mm, particularly preferably of at least 1600 mm. In this way it can be achieved that even when a wheelchair is parked in the wheelchair space, passengers can cross the car crossing.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Mehrzweckfläche zumindest zur Hälfte innerhalb des Wagenübergangs angeordnet. Mit anderen Worten, die Mehrzweckfläche kann sich zu mindestens 50% innerhalb des Wagenübergangs befinden. Darüber hinaus kann der Rollstuhlstellplatz der Mehrzweckfläche zumindest zur Hälfte innerhalb des Wagenübergangs angeordnet sein. Insbesondere kann die Mehrzweckfläche (und damit folglich auch ihr Rollstuhlstellplatz) vollständig innerhalb des Wagenübergangs angeordnet sein.According to a preferred development of the invention, at least half of the multipurpose area is arranged within the intercar transition. In other words, at least 50% of the multipurpose area can be located within the intercar transition. In addition, at least half of the wheelchair parking space of the multi-purpose area can be arranged within the intercar junction. In particular, the multi-purpose area (and consequently also its wheelchair space) can be arranged completely within the intercar junction.

In bevorzugter Weise umfasst der Wagenübergang einen Faltenbalg oder einen Wellenbalg. Der Falten-/Wellenbalg bedeckt zweckmäßigerweise das zuvor erwähnte Gelenk, durch welches die beiden Wagenkästen miteinander verbunden sind.In a preferred manner, the carriage transition comprises a bellows or a corrugated bellows. The bellows / corrugated bellows expediently covers the aforementioned joint by which the two car bodies are connected to one another.

Des Weiteren ist es bevorzugt, wenn die Mehrzweckfläche zumindest teilweise, insbesondere zumindest zur Hälfte, innerhalb des Falten-/Wellenbalgs angeordnet ist. Außerdem kann der Rollstuhlstellplatz der Mehrzweckfläche zumindest teilweise, insbesondere zumindest zur Hälfte, innerhalb des Falten-/Wellenbalgs angeordnet sein. Bei einer vorteilhaften Erfindungsvariante ist die Mehrzweckfläche (und damit folglich auch ihr Rollstuhlstellplatz) vollständig innerhalb des Falten-/Wellenbalgs angeordnet.Furthermore, it is preferred if the multipurpose area is at least partially, in particular at least halfway, arranged within the bellows / corrugated bellows. In addition, the wheelchair space of the multi-purpose area can be arranged at least partially, in particular at least halfway, within the bellows / corrugated bellows. In an advantageous variant of the invention, the multi-purpose area (and consequently also your wheelchair space) is arranged completely within the bellows / corrugated bellows.

Der Falten-/Wellenbalg umfasst zweckmäßigerweise eine Fußbodenspaltabdeckung. Diese ist vorzugsweise tief angeordnet, insbesondere um potentielle Klemmstellen in Greifhöhe eines Rollstuhlfahrers zu vermeiden und ein großes nutzbares Raumvolumen im Wagenübergang zu realisieren.The bellows / corrugated bellows expediently comprises a floor gap cover. This is preferably arranged deep, in particular in order to avoid potential jamming points at the height of a wheelchair user and to realize a large usable volume of space in the intercar transition.

Ferner kann das Fahrzeug am Rollstuhlstellplatz einen Klemmschutz aufweisen, der beispielsweise als plattenförmiges Element ausgebildet sein kann. Der Klemmschutz dient vorzugweise dazu, zu vermeiden, dass sich ein Rollstuhlfahrer einen oder mehrere Finger und/oder einen anderen Körperteil am Falten-/Wellenbalg einklemmt.Furthermore, the vehicle can have an anti-trap device at the wheelchair parking space, which can for example be designed as a plate-shaped element. The pinch protection is preferably used to prevent a wheelchair user from pinching one or more fingers and / or another part of the body on the bellows / corrugated bellows.

Die Mehrzweckfläche kann teilweise, insbesondere zumindest zur Hälfte, innerhalb des ersten Wagenkastens angeordnet sein. Weiter kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Rollstuhlstellplatz teilweise, insbesondere zumindest zur Hälfte, innerhalb des ersten Wagenkastens angeordnet ist.The multipurpose area can be arranged partially, in particular at least halfway, within the first car body. It can further be provided that the wheelchair parking space is arranged partially, in particular at least halfway, within the first car body.

In bevorzugter Weise umfasst das Fahrzeug eine Drehscheibe mit einem begehbaren Fußboden. Der Fußboden der Drehscheibe bildet zweckmäßigerweise einen Teil des zuvor erwähnten Fahrgastraumfußbodens des Fahrzeugs. Die Mehrzweckfläche kann sich zumindest teilweise auf dem Fußboden der Drehscheibe befinden. Insbesondere kann sich der Rollstuhlstellplatz der Mehrzweckfläche zumindest teilweise auf dem Fußboden der Drehscheibe befinden.The vehicle preferably comprises a turntable with a floor that can be walked on. The floor of the turntable expediently forms part of the aforementioned passenger compartment floor of the vehicle. The multipurpose surface can be at least partially on the floor of the turntable. In particular, the wheelchair parking space of the multi-purpose area can be at least partially on the floor of the turntable.

Vorteilhafterweise ist der Fußboden der Drehscheibe unbeweglich mit dem ersten Wagenkasten verbunden. Weiter ist es vorteilhaft, wenn sich der Fußboden der Drehscheibe in den zweiten Wagenkasten hinein erstreckt. In dem Fall, dass die Mehrzweckfläche teilweise innerhalb des ersten Wagenkastens angeordnet ist, kann auf diese Weise vermieden werden, dass bei einer Schwenkbewegung des zweiten Wagenkastens relativ zum ersten Wagenkasten eine Relativbewegung zwischen einzelnen Abschnitten der Mehrzweckfläche auftritt.The floor of the turntable is advantageously connected immovably to the first car body. It is also advantageous if the floor of the turntable extends into the second car body. In the event that the multi-purpose area is partially arranged within the first car body, it can be avoided in this way that a relative movement occurs between individual sections of the multi-purpose area during a pivoting movement of the second car body relative to the first car body.

Weiterhin kann die Mehrzweckfläche mehrere Rollstuhlstellplätze aufweisen. In diesem Fall kann das Fahrzeug für jeden der Rollstuhlstellplätze eine eigene Rückhaltevorrichtung zum Fixieren eines Rollstuhls, eine eigene Festhalteeinrichtung, ein eigenes Betätigungselement und/oder ein eigenes Anlehnelement aufweisen.Furthermore, the multi-purpose area can have several wheelchair spaces. In this case, the vehicle can have its own restraint device for fixing a wheelchair, its own retaining device, its own actuating element and / or its own leaning element for each of the wheelchair parking spaces.

Zweckmäßigerweise umfasst das Fahrzeug einen Fahrzeugführerraum für einen Fahrzeugführer. Falls das Fahrzeug mehrere Wagenübergange aufweist, ist der zuvor erwähnte Wagenübergang zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Wagenkasten vorzugsweise derjenige Wagenübergang des Fahrzeugs, der dem Fahrzeugführerraum am nächsten ist. In diesem Fall befindet sich die Mehrzweckfläche mit ihrem Rollstuhlstellplatz in der Nähe des Fahrzeugführers, sodass der Fahrzeugführer einem Rollstuhlfahrer besonders schnell zur Hilfe kommen kann, wenn der Rollstuhlfahrer Hilfe beim Ein- oder Aussteigen benötigt. Der Fahrzeugführer kann dem Rollstuhlfahrer insbesondere bei der Benutzung einer Ein-/Ausstiegshilfe, wie zum Beispiel einer Klapprampe oder eines Hublifts, helfen.The vehicle expediently comprises a vehicle driver's compartment for a vehicle driver. If the vehicle has several car crossings, the aforementioned car crossover between the first and the second car body is preferably that car crossover of the vehicle which is closest to the vehicle driver's cab. In this case, the multi-purpose area with its wheelchair space is located in the vicinity of the vehicle driver, so that the vehicle driver can come to the aid of a wheelchair user particularly quickly if the wheelchair user needs help getting in or out. The driver of the vehicle can help the wheelchair user in particular when using an entry / exit aid, such as a folding ramp or a lift.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Fahrzeug in Einzelgelenk-Bauweise ausgeführt. Vorzugsweise weist das Fahrzeug für jeden seiner Wagenkästen ein eigenes Fahrwerk auf, auf welchem der jeweilige Wagenkasten gelagert ist.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the vehicle is designed as a single-joint construction. The vehicle preferably has its own chassis for each of its car bodies, on which the respective car body is mounted.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das jeweilige Fahrwerk mittig an der Unterseite des zugehörigen Wagenkastens angeordnet. Oberhalb des jeweiligen Fahrwerks weist das Fahrzeug vorzugsweise mehrere Fahrgastsitze auf.The respective chassis is advantageously arranged centrally on the underside of the associated car body. The vehicle preferably has several passenger seats above the respective chassis.

The vehicle 2a comprises a first car body 4a, a second car body 4b, a third car body 4c and a fourth car body 4d, the car bodies 4a-4d being arranged one behind the other in the vehicle longitudinal direction 6. In principle, an embodiment of the vehicle 2a with a larger or a smaller number of car bodies is also possible.

Jeder der Wagenkästen 4a-4d des Fahrzeugs 2a ist mit mehreren Fahrgastzugangstüren 8 ausgestattet, durch welche Fahrgäste in das Fahrzeug 2a ein- bzw. aus dem Fahrzeug 2a aussteigen können.Each of the car bodies 4a-4d of the vehicle 2a is equipped with a plurality of passenger access doors 8 through which passengers can get into and out of the vehicle 2a.

Weiter weist das Fahrzeug 2a zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Wagenkasten 4a, 4b, zwischen dem zweiten und dem dritten Wagenkasten 4b, 4c sowie zwischen dem dritten und dem vierten Wagenkasten 4c, 4d jeweils einen Wagenübergang 10 mit einem Falten-/Wellenbalg 12 auf.Furthermore, the vehicle 2a between the first and the second car body 4a, 4b, between the second and the third car body 4b, 4c and between the third and fourth car body 4c, 4d each have a car transition 10 with a bellows / corrugated bellows 12.

Außerdem umfasst das Fahrzeug 2a ein erstes Gelenk 14a, durch welches der erste und der zweite Wagenkasten 4a, 4b miteinander verbunden sind, ein zweites Gelenk 14b, durch welches der zweite und der dritte Wagenkasten 4b, 4c miteinander verbunden sind, sowie ein drittes Gelenk 14c durch welches der dritte und der vierte Wagenkasten 4c, 4d miteinander verbunden sind. Jedes dieser Gelenke 14a-14c ist durch einen der Falten-/Wellenbälge 12 bedeckt. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind das erste und das dritte Gelenk 14a, 14c jeweils als nicksteifes Gelenk ausgebildet.In addition, the vehicle 2a comprises a first joint 14a, by which the first and second car bodies 4a, 4b are connected to one another, a second joint 14b, by which the second and third car bodies 4b, 4c are connected to one another, and a third joint 14c through which the third and fourth car bodies 4c, 4d are connected to one another. Each of these joints 14a-14c is covered by one of the bellows / corrugated bellows 12. In the present exemplary embodiment, the first and the third joint 14a, 14c are each designed as a non-nodding joint.

Das Fahrzeug 2a ist in Einzelgelenk-Bauweise ausgeführt. Für jeden seiner Wagenkästen 4a-4d weist das Fahrzeug 2a ein eigenes Fahrwerk 16 auf, auf welchem der jeweilige Wagenkasten 4a-4d gelagert ist. Jeweils zwischen zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Fahrwerken 16 ist eins der zuvor erwähnten Gelenke 14a-14c angeordnet.The vehicle 2a is designed as a single-joint construction. For each of its car bodies 4a-4d, the vehicle 2a has its own chassis 16, on which the respective car body 4a-4d is mounted. One of the aforementioned joints 14a-14c is arranged in each case between two successive undercarriages 16.

Ferner ist in FIG 1 eine Schnittebene II-II eingezeichnet, die parallel zur Fahrzeuglängsrichtung 6 verläuft.Furthermore, in FIG 1 a section plane II-II is drawn in, which runs parallel to the longitudinal direction 6 of the vehicle.

FIG 2 zeigt einen Schnitt durch den ersten Wagenkasten 4a, durch einen Teil des zweiten Wagenkastens 4b sowie durch den dazwischen angeordneten Wagenübergang 10 entlang der Schnittebene II-II aus FIG 1. FIG 2 shows a section through the first car body 4a, through a part of the second car body 4b and through the intercar junction 10 along the section plane II-II FIG 1 .

Wie aus FIG 2 ersichtlich ist, weist das Fahrzeug 2a sowohl an seiner ersten Längsseite 18a als auch an seiner zweiten Längsseite 18b mehrere Fahrgastzugangstüren 8 auf. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist jede an der ersten Längsseite 18a angeordnete Fahrgastzugangstür 8 direkt gegenüberliegend (d. h. in Fahrzeuglängsrichtung 6 nicht versetzt) zu einer der an der zweiten Längsseite 18b angeordneten Fahrgastzugangstüren 8 angeordnet. Anders als in FIG 1 sind die Fahrgastzugangstüren 8 in FIG 2 jeweils im geöffneten Zustand dargestellt.How out FIG 2 As can be seen, the vehicle 2a has a plurality of passenger access doors 8 both on its first longitudinal side 18a and on its second longitudinal side 18b. In the present exemplary embodiment, each passenger access door 8 arranged on the first longitudinal side 18a is arranged directly opposite (ie not offset in the vehicle longitudinal direction 6) to one of the passenger access doors 8 arranged on the second longitudinal side 18b. Unlike in FIG 1 are the passenger access doors 8 in FIG 2 each shown in the open state.

Grundsätzlich ist auch eine (figürlich nicht dargestellte) Ausführung des Fahrzeugs 2a möglich, bei der das Fahrzeug 2a nur an einer seiner beiden Längsseiten 18a, 18b Fahrgastzugangstüren 8 aufweist. Bei solch einer Ausführungsvariante wird das Fahrzeug 2a sinnvollerweise auf einer Strecke eingesetzt, bei der sich die Bahnsteige alle an derselben Fahrzeugseite befinden.In principle, an embodiment of the vehicle 2a (not shown in the figures) is also possible in which the vehicle 2a only has passenger access doors 8 on one of its two longitudinal sides 18a, 18b. In such an embodiment variant, the vehicle 2a is expediently used on a route in which the platforms are all on the same side of the vehicle.

In FIG 2 sind ein Fahrgastraum 20 des Fahrzeugs 2a sowie ein Führerraum 22 des Fahrzeugs 2a erkennbar. Das Fahrzeug 2a weist in seinem Fahrgastraum 20 mehrere Fahrgastsitze 24 auf, die jeweils oberhalb eines der Fahrwerke 16 des Fahrzeugs 2a angeordnet sind (vgl. FIG 1). Die in FIG 2 abgebildeten Fahrgastsitze 24 sind oberhalb desjenigen Fahrwerks 16 angeordnet, auf welchem der erste Wagenkasten 4a gelagert ist. Einige der Fahrgastsitze 24 sind an der ersten Längsseite 18a des Fahrzeugs 2a angeordnet, während die anderen Fahrgastsitze 24 an der zweiten Längsseite 18b des Fahrzeugs 2a angeordnet sind.In FIG 2 a passenger compartment 20 of the vehicle 2a and a driver's compartment 22 of the vehicle 2a can be seen. The vehicle 2a has a plurality of passenger seats 24 in its passenger compartment 20, each of which is arranged above one of the chassis 16 of the vehicle 2a (cf. FIG 1 ). In the FIG 2 The passenger seats 24 shown are arranged above that chassis 16 on which the first car body 4a is mounted. Some of the passenger seats 24 are arranged on the first longitudinal side 18a of the vehicle 2a, while the other passenger seats 24 are arranged on the second longitudinal side 18b of the vehicle 2a.

Ferner weist das Fahrzeug 2a in seinem Fahrgastraum 20 eine Mehrzweckfläche 26 auf, welche einen Rollstuhlstellplatz 28 aufweist.
