Description

La présente invention concerne une voiture de véhicule, notamment ferroviaire, comprenant une caisse formée par un toit, deux parois latérales et un plancher et s'étendant principalement suivant une direction longitudinale.The present invention relates to a vehicle car, in particular a rail vehicle, comprising a body formed by a roof, two side walls and a floor and extending mainly in a longitudinal direction.

L'invention concerne en particulier les véhicules de transport de voyageurs, notamment les véhicules ferroviaires à grande vitesse et à deux étages, mais pourrait également être appliquée par exemple à un autocar ou un autobus.The invention relates in particular to passenger transport vehicles, in particular high-speed double-decker rail vehicles, but could also be applied, for example, to a coach or bus.

Par « véhicule ferroviaire à grande vitesse », il est entendu selon l'Union internationale des chemins de fer (UIC) :

  • un véhicule ferroviaire roulant à des vitesses supérieures à 250 km/h sur des lignes spécialisées ;
  • un véhicule ferroviaire roulant à environ 200 km/h sur des lignes standards adaptées
  • un véhicule ferroviaire pouvant rouler à des vitesses inférieures en raison de conditions particulières de relief, de contraintes topographiques ou en environnement urbain.
By "high-speed rail vehicle", it is understood according to the International Union of Railways (UIC):
  • a railway vehicle traveling at speeds above 250 km / h on dedicated lines;
  • a rail vehicle traveling at around 200 km / h on suitable standard lines
  • a railway vehicle that can travel at lower speeds due to particular terrain conditions, topographical constraints or in an urban environment.

Actuellement, les trains à grande vitesse à deux étages présentent généralement une salle basse et une salle haute de voyageurs, donnant respectivement sur une plateforme basse et une plateforme haute reliées entre elles par un escalier situé à une extrémité longitudinale de la voiture.Currently, high-speed double-decker trains generally have a lower hall and an upper passenger hall, respectively leading to a low platform and a high platform connected to each other by a staircase located at a longitudinal end of the car.

La plateforme haute est une zone de transit comprenant habituellement une arrivée d'escalier donnant sur un couloir étroit, une balustrade et une armoire électrique.The high platform is a transit area usually comprising a staircase entrance leading to a narrow corridor, a balustrade and an electrical cabinet.

Cependant, la plateforme haute est généralement peu éclairée. En outre, si un éclairage tombe en panne, la luminosité de la plateforme est encore moindre jusqu'à ce qu'il soit remplacé.However, the high platform is generally poorly lit. In addition, if a light fails, the platform brightness is even lower until it is replaced.

La plateforme haute dans sa configuration actuelle présente ainsi des risques de chute ou de mauvaise manipulation des armoires électriques.The high platform in its current configuration thus presents risks of falling or improper handling of the electrical cabinets.

Il existe donc un besoin d'améliorer la sécurité et le confort des passagers et du personnel de maintenance circulant sur la plateforme haute.There is therefore a need to improve the safety and comfort of passengers and maintenance personnel traveling on the high platform.

L'un des buts de l'invention est d'augmenter la luminosité des plateformes hautes de voitures de véhicule ferroviaire à grande vitesse et à deux étages.One of the objects of the invention is to increase the luminosity of the high platforms of high-speed, double-decker rail vehicle cars.
