Definitions
- the vehicle can use up to 80% less primary energy. If this energy comes from regenerative sources, 100% C02 free transport is possible.
- the battery is recharged while the track is being used and is available to the vehicle when the road is being used.
- Independent vehicles can combine on the rail to dynamic virtual trains and thus consume with the slipstream effect again up to 75% less primary energy.
- An information system gives the participants a dynamic overview to be able to form these virtual trains.
- Two-way vehicles are used to pick up goods and people by road, and then to form dynamically efficient trains on the rails.
- Roads vehicles are used to pick up goods and people by road, and then rail-guided on roads with recessed rails to form dynamically efficient trains.
- the basic characteristic of rail vehicles is the mechanical tracking of rail wheels on a track (two railroad tracks running side by side).
- the wheel flange an increase on the inside of a rail wheel, and partly the conical running surface of the rail wheel, is responsible for this.
- a track wheel set consists of 2 rail wheels.
- Flange wheels have a conical taper to the inside of the flanged wheel.
- the rail vehicle runs in a slight trough which causes the tracking.
- the two internal flanges limit the lateral movement on the track and keep the track wheel set on the track and force the track wheel set to track the track to follow.
- a turnout must be used.
- the switch is mechanically changed from one track direction to the other. This conversion is done either manually or mechanically remotely controlled, but mandatory by a device connected to the switch.
- a track change is always dependent on the rail guide and is controlled by the rail operator by the position of the switch.
- a mechanical changeover of the switch in the desired direction, the switch should not have the desired directional position.
- a feedback to the rail vehicle that the switch has reached the desired position Compliance with a safety distance between two rail vehicles or two groups of rail vehicles (trains) that want to leave the switch in different directions. This safety distance is defined by the time required to bring the rail vehicle to a standstill in the event of an unsuccessful point setting.
- a self-directed track change by a track vehicle without interaction with the track or point operator is not possible in the current system. Only the changing of the track direction by a switch allows a track change.
- the supporting wheels can be placed alternately on a parallel laid turn track.
- the "normal” wheels are raised by the lane height on the directional tracks, in order to be able to cross the directional tracks without being touched, for example "Railtaxi” since about 1992.
- the first passive switch is the Weiche switch, which has been in use at the Dresden city cable car since 189S.
- One side of the vehicle has a double track wheel, the other side a wide wheel without flanges.
- Two-way vehicles are well known. Essentially, these vehicles use one of two systems -
- a set of road tires with a distance of less than 1435mm which take on both the rail travel and the road driving the supporting / driving function and additionally small flange wheels take over the leading role in rail travel.
- Example - Holder C9800H two-way vehicle. These vehicles use existing rails and behave like normal trains, so follow the directional specifications of the switch or the rail operator.
- the innov g e DTS system consisting of seteiltem-DoDBelSDurkranzRäd IDTs- ⁇ ády.
- Onboard Management Module DTS Module
- DTS Information System DTS Info
- DTS Rail Double Groove Rail
- Rail, two-way and road vehicles equipped with the corresponding DTS wheels and the DTS onboard module can independently select and drive their desired route on existing rails subject to the DTS rules, make track changes independently without having to change points must and dynamically form virtual trains with other DTS equipped vehicles.
- the DTS wheels enable the active vehicle / passive switch function, the DTS onboard module controls these processes and additionally enables the dynamic formation of virtual trains.
- This new split twin wheel rim (DTS wheel) consists of two side-by-side wheel gears, like a center-cut double-gear wheel, which can be raised and lowered independently of each other.
- the supporting wheels are either not or mechanically coupled only by a differential to allow a clean cornering.
- the carrying wheels have a track width of at least 1430mm.
- the carrying wheels have a minimum width of 200mm. Thus, even with open turnouts, they can always rest on both rail parts and safely cross the turnout in all settings. Fig. 4.5
- the respective inner flange of the split Doppelspurkranzrad takes over the tracking function as a normal Spurkranzrad. It rests on the inside of a normal Vignol rail and can either have a similar conical design as normal wheel flanges to optimize the tracking or a smooth cylindrical shape.
- the outer wheel flange of the split Doppelspurkranzrad takes over the direction function and is located on the outside of the Vignolschiene (jaw rails) on. It has a smooth cylindrical shape, but can also have a conical design, this should be beneficial.
- Each split twin-crown wheel can be equipped with sensors to detect the current position of the rails.
- the DTS Module is the internal controller for all onboard DTS functions. It also allows the dynamic formation of virtual or mechanically coupled trains. Individual DTS vehicles can join or leave a group at any time, even if they are in the middle.
- the DTS module controls the horizontal and vertical alignment of the DTS wheels.
- Attached sensors allow the DTS module to place the DTS wheels exactly on the rails or engage them in the DTS rail while the vehicle is driven parallel over the rails.
- the DTS module can be connected to the steering, drive and braking system of the vehicle to allow automatic control of the rail placement process.
- the DTS module can take over the drive and the braking in order to realize a minimum distance to the preceding vehicle.
- the DTS module includes a communication platform that allows you to exchange information with the preceding and following vehicles.
- DTS vehicles can form a virtual train.
- the DTS modules of the participants always connect with the respective participants in front of and behind them. Always the first participant in the virtual train association takes over the control center and determines the virtual train association.
- a DTS vehicle approaches a turnout, the vehicle decides in which direction it would like to drive.
- the DTS vehicle lifts up the inner Lane Keeping DTS wheels and at the same time lowers the outer direction pointing DTS wheels.
- the left outer DTS wheels would then define straight ahead, and the right outer DTS wheels would define the right turn lane.
- DTS Rail - The DTS wheel together with a non-flanged load-bearing wheel allows travel on a standard railroad track.
- these rails require a track bed and a complex supporting structure.
- DTS rail double grooved rail
- This new dual groove rail looks like a normal tram track but has a groove on both sides of the middle surface.
- Fig. 7,8 This new dual groove rail (DTS rail) looks like a normal tram track but has a groove on both sides of the middle surface.
- the DTS rail can be used both in the version with no foot for entry into a street, as well as classic with foot to build a dedicated DTS rail network.
- the on and off-latch process is fluent.
- the DTS vehicle can simply pick up the DTS wheels at any time and continue driving without steering the system.
- DTS - InformationSystem DTS Info
- the DTS Info is cell-based.
- each rail vehicle can dynamically plan and adapt its route and thus perform it optimally.
- the "new” rail vehicles thus make targeted use of the existing infrastructure and the free time slots without impairing, hindering or jeopardizing the "old" railway world.
- Rails can only be driven in one direction
- DTS trains are normal trains if they are not on DTS rails or on DTS certified routes. Then you are assigned to the "normal" rail management, only if you drive on DTS rails or on DTS routes they are self-determining as on the highway.
- a DTS signaling device (mechanical, optical, electronic) can be installed which signals the beginning of the switch.
- DTS rail vehicle an independent train wagon with DTS wheels and DTS rail tires - like a S-Bahn car.
- DTS rail vehicle an independent train wagon with DTS wheels and DTS rail tires - like a S-Bahn car.
- the DTS module enables automatic communication between adjacent vehicles, thus initiating control from the first to the last.
- a vehicle virtually docks onto a dynamic train, it is part of the train network and is also controlled.
- a wagon can leave at any time and leave the virtual train. Then the following cars just move up.
- Fig. 3,4,6 DTS trains - normal trains, all cars with DTS wheels controlled by the first car.
- Fig.1 Short two-way vehicle with road tires and 4 DTS wheels on each corner.
- Fig.2 Double articulated road vehicle with DTS wheels in front of and behind each set of tires Fig.3 Rail wheels bogie with 4 DTS wheels
- Figure 5 Normal Turnout position (2) shows additional handlebars if desired.
