Description

Véhicule ferroviaire de transport de fret de grandes dimensionsLarge freight rail vehicle
La présente invention se rapporte à un véhicule ferroviaire pour le transport de charges unitaires notamment routières telles que des véhicules routiers, des conteneurs ou des caisses mobiles dont la principale caractéristique est sa très faible garde au sol sur pratiquement toute sa largeur. Pour que le matériel roulant ferroviaire puisse circuler sans problème dans les tunnels ou sous les ponts, les réseaux ferrés établissent un ou des gabarits qui délimitent le contour ou 1 ' enveloppe à l'intérieur de laquelle le matériel doit être compris. Le respect de ce gabarit apporte la garantie pour le matériel roulant de ne jamais rencontrer un obstacle fixe.The present invention relates to a rail vehicle for transporting unit loads, in particular road loads such as road vehicles, containers or swap bodies, the main characteristic of which is its very low ground clearance over practically its entire width. So that railway rolling stock can circulate without problem in tunnels or under bridges, rail networks establish one or more jigs which delimit the outline or the envelope inside which the material must be included. Compliance with this template provides the guarantee for rolling stock never to encounter a fixed obstacle.
Les réseaux européens se sont mis d ' accord sur un gabarit commun dit "gabarit UIC" (Union Internationale des Chemins de fer ) , qui tient compte des contraintes des différents réseaux ferrés nationaux. Le matériel roulant qui respecte ce gabarit UIC peut circuler sur presque tous les réseaux européens sans risque. La partie basse des divers gabarits présente peu de différences entre eux d'un réseau à l'autre, en revanche, en partie haute, certains réseaux (Allemagne, Autriche, ... ) ont un gabarit bien plus grand que le gabarit UIC pour des raisons historiques. Sur ces réseaux, des wagons de marchandises, par exemple des wagons plats, qui respectent le gabarit UIC à vide, peuvent être chargés de marchandises qui dépassent le gabarit UIC mais respectent le gabarit du réseau en question, si le trajet s'effectue uniquement sur ce réseau.European networks have agreed on a common gauge called "UIC gauge" (International Union of Railways), which takes into account the constraints of the various national rail networks. Rolling stock that complies with this UIC template can circulate on almost all European networks without risk. The lower part of the various templates presents few differences between them from one network to another, on the other hand, in the upper part, some networks (Germany, Austria, ...) have a much larger template than the UIC template for historical reasons. On these networks, freight wagons, for example flat wagons, which comply with the UIC gauge when empty, can be loaded with goods which exceed the UIC gauge but respect the gauge of the network in question, if the journey is made only on this network.
Ainsi, on a abouti à une situation selon laquelle il existe un gabarit UIC international respecté pour les échanges de matériel entre différents pays, mais subsistent des gabarits nationaux dont la partie haute varie en fonction des pays, le gabarit en partie basse restant la plupart du temps identique à celui de UIC.Thus, we ended up in a situation where there is an international UIC template respected for the exchange of material between different countries, but national templates remain, the upper part of which varies depending on the country, the lower part remaining mostly identical to that of UIC.
Avec le développement du transport combiné et 1 ' arrivée de conteneurs maritimes de grandes dimensions, certains réseaux, et en particulier celui de la France, ont élargi le gabarit en partie haute sur certaines de leurs lignes pour permettre le transport de ces grands conteneurs et s ' adapter ainsi au gabarit plus grand des pays voisins dans lesquels ces lignes se prolongent.With the development of combined transport and the arrival of large maritime containers, certain networks, and in particular that of France, have widened the gauge at the top on some of their lines to allow the transport of these large containers and s '' thus adapt to the larger size of neighboring countries in which these lines extend.
Pour le transport sur train de véhicules routiers aux dimensions européennes (maximum de 4 mètres de hauteur en charge) sur des wagons plats, les réseaux ont été amenés à envisager d'élargir le gabarit en partie haute. Ceci implique d'agrandir et de rehausser les voûtes des tunnels et les ponts. Ces travaux sont très coûteux et très longs car les travaux dans les tunnels sont compliqués (accès difficiles, maintient de la circulation des trains sur une des deux voies, ... )For the transport on road vehicles of European dimensions (maximum of 4 meters in loaded height) on flat wagons, the networks have been led to consider widening the gauge in the upper part. This involves enlarging and raising the vaults of tunnels and bridges. These works are very expensive and very long because the works in the tunnels are complicated (difficult access, maintenance of train traffic on one of the two tracks, ...)
Les réseaux ferrés européens ont toujours étudié et réalisé des élargissements de gabarit en partie haute et jamais en partie basse pour plusieurs raisons :European rail networks have always studied and carried out gauge enlargements at the top and never at the bottom for several reasons:
. lorsque 1 ' on dépasse le gabarit en partie haute avec la marchandise, le wagon à vide respecte toujours le gabarit UIC et donc peut aller partout ; alors qu'un wagon dont la structure dépasse du gabarit en partie basse serait "prisonnier" des lignes adaptées ce qui est une contrainte très pénalisante pour le trafic fret habituel ; . les wagons courants doivent pouvoir passer par les centres de triages ; or le triage des wagons se fait par gravité, en poussant les trains de wagons dételés sur une "bosse de triage" d'où ils descendent par gravité et sont ensuite aiguillés sur la voie de destination. Cette bosse présente un rayon de convexité très faible qui impose que la hauteur minimum du dessous du plancher ne soit pas trop basse pour que la partie milieu du wagon ne vienne pas frotter sur les rails incurvés par le suivi de la bosse. De plus, dans les triages modernes, il existe des "freins de voie" qui sont des équipements fixes au sol freinant les wagons par 1 ' intermédiaire de mâchoires mobiles agissant directement sur les flans des roues. Ces mâchoires en position relevée à leur hauteur maximum ne doivent pas être heurtées par le dessous des wagons. . les obstacles les plus courants que l'on trouve en partie basse sont les quais. Sortir du gabarit en partie basse de façon importante demande de rectifier tous les quais bas que l'on peut rencontrer sur une ligne de chemin de fer et ceux-ci peuvent être très nombreux d'où des travaux importants. Et on garde toujours ces wagons prisonniers de ces lignes où les quais sont modifiés.. when one exceeds the gauge in the upper part with the goods, the empty wagon always respects the UIC gauge and therefore can go everywhere; whereas a wagon whose structure exceeds the gauge in the lower part would be "trapped" in adapted lines which is a very disadvantageous constraint for usual freight traffic; . current wagons must be able to pass through the sorting centers; however the sorting of the wagons is done by gravity, pushing the trains of uncoupled wagons on a "sorting hump" from where they descend by gravity and are then directed to the destination track. This bump has a very small radius of convexity which requires that the minimum height of the underside of the floor is not too low so that the middle part of the wagon does not come to rub on the curved rails by following the bump. In addition, in modern yards, there are "track brakes" which are fixed equipment on the ground braking the wagons by means of movable jaws acting directly on the sidewalls of the wheels. These jaws in the raised position at their maximum height must not be struck by the underside of the wagons. . the most common obstacles found in the lower part are the docks. Getting out of the gauge in the lower part in an important way requires to rectify all the low platforms that one can meet on a railway line and these can be very numerous where from important work. And we always keep these cars trapped on these lines where the platforms are modified.
Le gabarit en partie basse constitue principalement deux côtés inclinés à 45°. Pour pouvoir charger un camion aux dimensions européennes ou un conteneur de grandes dimensions ou deux conteneurs superposés, sur un véhicule ferroviaire, il faut que la surface où reposent les pneus du camion ou la base du conteneur soit d'environ 2,5 à 2,6 m (au minimum à peu prés égale à la distance séparant les flancs extérieurs des pneus). Or, en raison de la présence des côtés inclinés à 45°, une surface de cette largeur ne se trouve au mieux qu'à environ 15 cm au-dessus du niveau minimum admissible pour le dessous du véhicule ferroviaire, d'où une perte de hauteur utile rendant impossible le transport d'un véhicule ou conteneur de quatre mètres de haut. L'un des objectifs de l'invention est de permettre le transport ferroviaire de 1 ' ensemble des véhicules de quatre mètres de haut ne relevant pas du transport exceptionnel . Un autre objectif est d'abaisser autant que possible le point de contact de la charge avec le fond du wagon.The template in the lower part mainly constitutes two sides inclined at 45 °. To be able to load a truck with European dimensions or a large container or two stacked containers, on a railway vehicle, the surface where the tires of the truck or the base of the container rest is approximately 2.5 to 2, 6 m (at least roughly equal to the distance between the outer sides of the tires). However, due to the presence of the sides inclined at 45 °, a surface of this width is at best only about 15 cm above the minimum admissible level for the underside of the rail vehicle, resulting in a loss of useful height making it impossible to transport a vehicle or container four meters high. One of the objectives of the invention is to allow rail transport of all four-meter-high vehicles not relating to exceptional transport. Another objective is to lower the point of contact of the load with the bottom of the wagon as much as possible.
Un autre objectif encore est d'abaisser la garde au sol du wagon. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront dans la description qui suit, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif en référence aux dessins dans lesquels :Yet another objective is to lower the ground clearance of the wagon. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear in the description which follows, given by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the drawings in which:
. la figure 1 est une vue en coupe transversale du véhicule ferroviaire selon l'invention chargé d'un véhicule articulé formé d 'un camion et d' une remorque sur laquelle le gabarit normalisé a été tracé en trait épais et la partie inférieure de ce gabarit en trait encore plus épais ; . la figure 2 est une vue agrandie du détail encerclé sur la figure 1 ;. Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of the rail vehicle according to the invention loaded with an articulated vehicle formed of a truck and a trailer on which the standard template has been drawn in thick lines and the lower part of this template in an even thicker line; . Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the detail circled in Figure 1;
. la figure 3 est un schéma montrant 1 ' allure générale du gabarit normalisé selon le contour de référence ; . la figure 4 est le tracé agrandi de la partie basse du gabarit représenté sur la figure 3 ;. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the general appearance of the standardized template according to the reference contour; . Figure 4 is the enlarged layout of the lower part of the template shown in Figure 3;
. la figure 5 est le tracé en correspondance avec celui de la figure 4 du gabarit correspondant au véhicule ferroviaire à très faible garde au sol et à largeur maximale de la structure porteuse selon l'invention. L' invention concerne un wagon 1 et plus généralement un véhicule ferroviaire présentant une structure porteuse 2 par exemple un châssis. Le corps de la structure porteuse 2 délimite en partie inférieure une plate-forme 3 de chargement à fond 4 par exemple plat et pouvant être mobile en pivotement et/ou en abaissement au sol d ' une de ses extrémités pour réaliser un autochargement et autodéchargement wagon par wagon.. Figure 5 is the layout in correspondence with that of Figure 4 of the template corresponding to the rail vehicle with very low ground clearance and maximum width of the supporting structure according to the invention. The invention relates to a wagon 1 and more generally a railway vehicle having a supporting structure 2, for example a chassis. The body of the carrying structure 2 delimits in the lower part a loading platform 3 with a bottom 4, for example flat, which can be pivotally pivoted and / or lowered to the ground at one of its ends to carry out self-loading and self-unloading wagon per wagon.
Bien entendu, un autre mode de chargement et déchargement du véhicule ferroviaire s ' avère tout aussi possible, la présente invention ne portant nullement sur un procédé particulier de chargement et déchargement .Of course, another method of loading and unloading the rail vehicle proves to be equally possible, the present invention in no way relating to a particular method of loading and unloading.
La limite inférieure de la plate-forme 3 à fond plat 4 s ' inscrit dans la partie inférieure du gabarit normalisé. Selon un exemple de réalisation, la largeur du fond 4 de la plate-forme 3 est égale à la largeur du gabarit normalisé.The lower limit of the flat bottom platform 3 4 is inscribed in the lower part of the standardized template. According to an exemplary embodiment, the width of the bottom 4 of the platform 3 is equal to the width of the standardized template.
Le véhicule ferroviaire 1 selon 1 ' invention est destiné à transporter une charge unitaire routière, par exemple un véhicule routier articulé formé d'un tracteur 5 et d'une remorque 6, mais aussi un ou des conteneur(s) ou caisse(s) mobile(s) ou autre(s) charge(s) circulant sur les routes ou transportée(s) sur celles-ci. Le gabarit ferroviaire normalisé montre une allure générale de contour de référence telle que représentée sur la figure 3.The rail vehicle 1 according to the invention is intended to transport a unit road load, for example an articulated road vehicle formed by a tractor 5 and a trailer 6, but also one or more container (s) or box (es) mobile (s) or other load (s) traveling on the roads or transported on them. The standardized railway gauge shows a general shape of the reference contour as shown in FIG. 3.
On distingue une partie supérieure 7 de forme générale arrondie formée d ' un sommet plat 8 prolongé vers le bas de chaque côté par une portion de raccordement 9 s ' étendant entre le sommet et les côtés latéraux tels que 10. Chaque . portion de raccordement 9 est une ligne brisée constituée de trois segments de droite en série 11, 12 et 13 d'inclinaison croissant vers le bas jusqu'à la jonction avec le côté vertical latéral 10 correspondant.There is an upper part 7 of generally rounded shape formed by a flat top 8 extended downward on each side by a connection portion 9 extending between the top and the lateral sides such as 10. Each . connection portion 9 is a broken line made up of three straight segments in series 11, 12 and 13 of inclination increasing downwards until the junction with the corresponding lateral vertical side 10.
La distance entre ces deux côtés latéraux détermine la largeur maximale "d max" du gabarit.The distance between these two lateral sides determines the maximum width "d max" of the template.
Le gabarit se poursuit vers le bas et de chaque côté par un premier décrochement 14 versThe template continues down and on each side by a first step 14 towards
1 ' intérieur destiné à laisser libre un retrait ou epaulement 15 pour un quai de première hauteur diminuant ainsi la largeur maximale d'une distance correspondant aux deux premiers décrochements.1 interior intended to leave free a withdrawal or shoulder 15 for a platform of first height thus reducing the maximum width by a distance corresponding to the first two recesses.
Le gabarit se poursuit ensuite vers le bas et de chaque côté par un petit côté latéral 16 suivi par un deuxième décrochement 17 réduisant encore d'autant la largeur du gabarit jusqu'à une largeur "d min".The template then continues downwards and on each side by a small lateral side 16 followed by a second recess 17 further reducing the width of the template even further to a width "d min".
Chaque deuxième décrochement 17 est raccordé à une ligne de fond 18 par une ligne oblique 19 à 45° d'angle d'inclinaison vers l'intérieur délimitant un décrochement représentant un autre retrait ou epaulement 20 en coin pour un quai de partie basse.Each second recess 17 is connected to a bottom line 18 by an oblique line 19 at an angle of 45 ° inwardly delimiting a recess representing another recess or shoulder 20 in the corner for a platform in the lower part.
La limite inférieure représentée par la ligne de fond 18 est située dans cet exemple à une distance E de 13 cm du sol. L'ensemble du gabarit est bien entendu symétrique par rapport à 1 ' axe des voies matérialisé par un axe de symétrie 21 perpendiculaire au plan des voies et le coupant en son milieu.The lower limit represented by the bottom line 18 is located in this example at a distance E of 13 cm from the ground. The entire template is of course symmetrical with respect to the axis of the tracks materialized by an axis of symmetry 21 perpendicular to the plane of the tracks and cutting it in the middle.
L'un des objectifs de la présente invention est de descendre la surface de contact de la charge avec la structure porteuse au plus bas possible du gabarit, soit à quelques centimètres du sol, par exemple à une distance "e" d'environ 8 à 10 cm du sol. A cause de la largeur nécessaire du plancher d'environ 2,5 à 2,6 cm, l'encombrement du véhicule ferroviaire sort du gabarit. Mais si on se limite à ne pas dépasser le point supérieur du côté oblique 19 incliné à 45° (à la cote de 400 mm en hauteur et 1250 mm de demi- largeur, du contour de référence du gabarit UIC), on ne vient pas heurter les quais très répandus de hauteur 385 mm qui arrivent juste dans ce coin. Les quais de hauteur 550 mm préconisés dans les nouvelles installations sont placés plus loin de 1 ' axe des voies et ne gênent donc pas. Seuls les quais de hauteur 300mm empêcheraient le passage de tels véhicule ferroviaires. Mais ces quais sont très anciens et n'existent pratiquement plus sur les grands axes puisque lors des renouvellements importants de voies et ballasts, ils sont détruits pour permettre le passage des engins mécanisés de pose de voie. Ces quais sont ensuite reconstruits à la hauteur de 385 ou 550 mm. Les autres types d'obstacles, que l'on peut rencontrer dans la zone où on sort du gabarit, seraient des boîtiers de raccordement électriques dans les zones d'avant-gare où il existe beaucoup d'appareils de voies. Dans ce cas, les travaux à réaliser resteront toujours beaucoup moins coûteux que des rectifications de voûtes de tunnels. Pour toutes les portions de voies en pleine ligne (en dehors des grandes gares) il n'existe pas d'obstacle de ce type.One of the objectives of the present invention is to lower the contact surface of the load with the supporting structure to the lowest possible level of the gauge, ie a few centimeters from the ground, for example at a distance "e" of approximately 8 to 10 cm from the ground. Because of the necessary width of the floor of approximately 2.5 to 2.6 cm, the size of the rail vehicle comes out of the template. But if we limit ourselves not to exceed the upper point of the oblique side 19 inclined at 45 ° (at the height of 400 mm in height and 1250 mm in half width, from the reference contour of the UIC template), we do not come hit the widespread 385 mm high docks which arrive just in this corner. The 550 mm high platforms recommended in new installations are located further from the center line of the tracks and therefore do not interfere. Only platforms 300mm high would prevent the passage of such railway vehicles. But these quays are very old and practically do not exist any more on the main axes since during major track and ballast renewals, they are destroyed to allow the passage of mechanized track laying machines. These docks are then rebuilt to the height of 385 or 550 mm. The other types of obstacles, which one can meet in the zone where one leaves the gauge, would be boxes of electrical connection in the zones of fore-station where there are many apparatuses of way. In this case, the work to be carried out will always remain much less costly than the rectification of tunnel vaults. For all portions of track in full line (apart from the large stations) there is no obstacle of this type.
A cet effet et pour atteindre l'un des buts de la présente invention, la plate-forme 3 du véhicule ferroviaire est conformée de façon que son fond plat 4 soit le plus bas possible, c'est-à-dire très proche du sol, à une distance "e" de quelques centimètres, par exemple 8 à 10 cm du sol, conférant au véhicule ferroviaire une très faible garde au sol.To this end and to achieve one of the aims of the present invention, the platform 3 of the rail vehicle is shaped so that its flat bottom 4 is as low as possible, that is to say very close to the ground , at a distance "e" of a few centimeters, for example 8 to 10 cm from the ground, giving the railway vehicle very little ground clearance.
Plus particulièrement, la surface de contact de la charge avec le fond ( 4 ) de la structure porteuse du véhicule ferroviaire, se trouve au moins à la hauteur ou en dessous de la ligne de fond 18 du gabarit normalisé.More particularly, the surface of contact of the load with the bottom (4) of the supporting structure of the rail vehicle, is at least at the height or below the bottom line 18 of the standardized gauge.
Par ailleurs, la largeur du gabarit de ce véhicule ferroviaire est supérieure à la voie la plus grande existant pour un véhicule routier autorisé à la circulation routière libre normale, c'est-à-dire sans accompagnement du type convoi exceptionnel .Furthermore, the width of the gauge of this railway vehicle is greater than the widest track existing for a road vehicle authorized for normal free road traffic, that is to say without accompaniment of the exceptional convoy type.
En ce qui concerne la largeur de la plateforme 3 porteuse du chargement, celle-ci présente la dimension utile maximale "d lim", en tout cas au moins égale et au plus légèrement supérieure à la voie du véhicule routier de plus grand gabarit autorisé sur le réseau routier, par exemple un véhicule articulé camion-remorque ou un semi-remorque ou autres. Bien entendu, cette largeur est inférieure à la largeur du gabarit du véhicule ferroviaire.With regard to the width of the platform 3 carrying the load, it has the maximum useful dimension "d lim", in any case at least equal and at most slightly greater than the track of the road vehicle of larger size authorized on the road network, for example an articulated truck-trailer vehicle or a semi-trailer or others. Well understood, this width is less than the width of the gauge of the railway vehicle.
Des structures latérales de bordure 22 et 23 présentes de chaque côté assurent la sécurité du roulage et la protection latérale de la charge unitaire routière du véhicule ferroviaire.Lateral edge structures 22 and 23 present on each side ensure the safety of running and the lateral protection of the unit road load of the rail vehicle.
Ces structures latérales de bordures 22 et 23 sont inclinées montantes vers l'extérieur délimitant chacune avec le fond 4 de la plate-forme 3 un dièdre ouvert obtus dont un des deux plans est celui de la plate-forme 3 et l'autre celui de la structure latérale adjacente 22 ou 23.These lateral edge structures 22 and 23 are inclined rising upwards, each delimiting with the bottom 4 of the platform 3 an obtuse open dihedral, one of the two planes being that of the platform 3 and the other that of the adjacent lateral structure 22 or 23.
En partie supérieure, ces structures sont à 1 ' intérieur du gabarit ferroviaire normalisé pour que tous les quais hauts soient compatibles.In the upper part, these structures are inside the standardized railway gauge so that all the high platforms are compatible.
Comme représenté sur la figure 1, les pneus tels que 24 du camion tracteur 5 viennent reposer sur la plate-forme 3 à la limite de l'arête de dièdre et les plans inclinés de bordure latérale élargissent 1 ' espace en largeur vers le haut afin de laisser un espace libre pour les bas de caisse des véhicules routiers transportés.As shown in FIG. 1, the tires such as 24 of the tractor truck 5 come to rest on the platform 3 at the limit of the dihedral edge and the inclined planes of lateral border widen the space in width upwards so to leave a free space for the rocker panels of the transported road vehicles.
Arrivées à la largeur du gabarit, ces structures de bordure latérale 22 ou 23 se poursuivent verticalement vers le haut jusqu'à une faible hauteur comme représenté sur la figure 1.Arrived at the width of the template, these lateral border structures 22 or 23 continue vertically upwards to a small height as shown in Figure 1.
Ce raccordement avec les côtés latéraux verticaux 10 du gabarit font disparaître le deuxième epaulement 17 prévu pour les quais de petite hauteur. L' epaulement inférieur 20 en coin de la partie inférieure du gabarit conventionnel représentée en trait fort sur les figures 1 et 2 n'est pas respecté. Il est remplacé par un coin sortant 25 d'environ 20 mm.This connection with the vertical lateral sides 10 of the template causes the second shoulder 17 provided for the docks of small height to disappear. The lower shoulder 20 at the corner of the lower part of the conventional template shown in strong lines in FIGS. 1 and 2 is not respected. It is replaced by an outgoing corner 25 of approximately 20 mm.
On remarque sur les figures comparatives 4 et 5 les différences de forme entre les parties basses des deux gabarits respectivement entre le contour de référence du gabarit conventionnel ( figure 4 ) et celui selon 1 ' invention ( figure 5 ) .Note in comparative figures 4 and 5 the differences in shape between the lower parts of the two templates respectively between the reference contour of the conventional template (Figure 4) and that according to the invention (Figure 5).
Si la largeur maximale "d max" est conservée sur la majorité de la hauteur, on cherchera à rapprocher la ligne de fond 26 le plus fortement possible du sol et la largeur à ce niveau augmente notablement jusqu'à une largeur limite "d lim". Les côtés obliques 27 de jonction raccordent la ligne de fond 26 aux côtés latéraux verticaux 10.If the maximum width "d max" is kept over the majority of the height, we will try to bring the bottom line 26 as close as possible to the ground and the width at this level increases notably up to a limit width "d lim" . The oblique junction sides 27 connect the bottom line 26 to the vertical lateral sides 10.
La suppression des deuxièmes décrochements 17 ne nuit en rien au véhicule ferroviaire selon 1 ' invention qui est destiné à circuler en navettes uniquement sur des lignes spécifiques de certains axes ne présentant pas des compatibilité de quais ou autres et ceci sans passer par les centres de triage ferroviaires traditionnels mais le long de trajets entre des terminaux spécialisés de chargement et de déchargement.The elimination of the second recesses 17 does not in any way harm the rail vehicle according to the invention which is intended to circulate in shuttles only on specific lines of certain axes which do not have platform or other compatibility and this without passing through the sorting centers. traditional railways but along routes between specialized loading and unloading terminals.
Avec ces conditions, le fait de n'avoir que certaines lignes adaptées au gabarit en partie basse ne constitue pas un obstacle d'exploitation. Les transports de camions, de conteneurs ou de caisses mobiles de grandes dimensions sont particulièrement bien adaptés pour ce type d'exploitation en navettes où les flux se regroupent sur des troncs communs. Ce type d'exploitation répond particulièrement bien aux nécessités actuelles de décharger les autoroutes et routes du trafic des poids lourds en chargeant ces véhicules routiers sur des véhicules ferroviaires de trains spécifiques les transportant par la voie ferrée sur des distances plus ou moins grandes sans nuisances pour 1 ' environnement et afin d'améliorer la sécurité routière. With these conditions, having only certain lines adapted to the size in the lower part does not constitute an operating obstacle. The transport of trucks, containers or swap bodies of large dimensions are particularly well suited for this type of shuttle operation where flows are grouped on common trunks. This type of operation responds particularly well to the current needs of relieving motorways and highways of heavy goods traffic by loading these road vehicles on railway vehicles of specific trains transporting them by rail over more or less long distances without nuisance for 1 environment and to improve road safety.
