  • the actuation member 66, 68 comprises a rod 96 and a spring 98.
  • the rod 96 is substantially straight and extends substantially in a plane (X, Z). A first end of said rod is articulated to the flap 60, along a third axis 102 of rotation parallel to the second axis 92.
  • first end of the rod 96 of the first 66 and second 68 actuation members is articulated respectively on the first 76 and on the second 78 intermediate bar of the flap 60.
  • the first ends of the two rods 96 are arranged on the same third axis 102 of rotation.
  • the rod 96 of the actuating member 66, 68 is inserted into the through-hole 94 of the sliding portion 90 of the corresponding support 62, 64.
  • This rod is capable of sliding within the through-hole, that is, it is capable of sliding through the opening in a substantially rectilinear motion parallel to a central axis passing through the opening.
  • a second end 104 of the rod 96 is located opposite the first end with respect to the through-hole 94.
  • the spring 98 is a helical tension spring. One end of said spring is fixed to the second end 104 of the rod 96. A second end of said spring is fixed to the sliding portion 90 of the corresponding support 62, 64.
  • a tension in the spring 98 is greater than a tension in said spring in the deployed position of the flap.
  • the locking/unlocking device 36 includes a transmission bar 110 and a latch 112.
  • the transmission bar 110 is straight and extends perpendicularly to Y. A first end 114 of said bar is articulated on the first arm 42 of the detection member 32.

  • the hook 118 of the latch 112 of the locking/unlocking device 36 is engaged in the notch 85 of the flap 60. The flap is thus held in the retracted position of the Figures 1 And 3 .
  • the bar 40 and the arms 42, 44 of the detection organ 32 are in the inactive position.
  • the movement of the vehicle 10 causes the obstacle to come into contact with the bar 40 and to move the bar backwards.
  • the arms 42, 44 of the detection device 32 then pivot backwards until the detection device is in its active position.
  • the transmission bar 110 of the device 36 is thus driven backwards by the first arm 42, which leads to the pivoting of the latch 112 relative to the first support 62.
  • the hook 118 of the device 36 then disengages from the notch 85, releasing the flap 60.
  • the springs 98 of the first 66 and second 68 actuating members retract, causing the second end 104 of each corresponding rod 96 to move towards the through opening 94 of the sliding portion 90 of the corresponding support 62, 64.
  • This movement of the rods 96 causes the flap 60 to pivot around the second axis 92 towards the deployed configuration of the figure 2 .
  • the front edge 70 of the flap 60 is close to the rails 20 and the ground, which blocks the obstacle and prevents it from coming into contact with the bogie and in particular from passing under the bogie 18.
  • the obstacle is a pedestrian lying on the rails 20, the risks of injury to said pedestrian are reduced.
  • the shutter 60 is configured so that in deployed configuration, the distance between the front edge 70 and the rails 20 is small enough to prevent a limb of a pedestrian on the rails from passing under the shutter.
  • the wheels 69 of the body retrieval unit 34 come into contact with the ground, which prevents the flap 60 from rubbing against said ground.
  • the body collector 34 does not have actuation members 66, 68.
  • gravity causes the front edge 70 to pivot into the deployed configuration.
  • actuation members 66, 68 equipped with an elastic return element 98 makes it possible to accelerate the deployment of the flap 60, thus improving pedestrian safety. In particular, this safety can be ensured with a higher vehicle speed 10.
  • the elastic return element of the actuation members 66, 68 is replaced by a pneumatic or hydraulic actuator of the cylinder type.
  • the vehicle 10 further includes a device for unlocking the latch 112, capable of being controlled by an operator located in the motor car 12 in the event that a pedestrian is spotted on the rails 20 in front of said vehicle.
  • the body collector 34 further includes a device for detecting the deployed configuration, informing the operator located in the driving car 12 and/or preventing the movement of the railway vehicle 10.
  • Said detection device includes for example a cam (not shown) articulated to a support 62, 64 and attached to the flap 60, as well as an electrical detector (not shown) connected to said cam.
