Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a passenger transport vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle or a bus.
  • passenger transport vehicles are known from local and long-distance transport and serve different train stations and stops.
  • stops or train stations are equipped with platforms from which passengers can get on and off the passenger transport vehicle directly from an elevated position through door devices.
  • the entry areas of a passenger transport vehicle are located above the axles of the vehicle, so that the height of the entry areas is raised relative to the lower floor.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved passenger transport vehicle for transporting passengers, wherein In particular, easy accessibility and at the same time high passenger transport capacity should be ensured.
  • the passenger transport vehicle has a car body which is mounted on at least two axles.
  • the axles can be arranged in bogies so that the passenger transport vehicle is designed as a rail vehicle. It is irrelevant whether the bogies in the form of so-called Jacobs bogies are used to additionally support another car body or exclusively the one car body of the one rail vehicle.
  • the car body is structured as follows: in the vertical direction, single-story car sections are located essentially vertically above an area of the axles or above an area of the bogies, with a double-story car section with a lower level and an upper level being provided in the longitudinal direction between the single-story car sections. According to one embodiment, the car body is therefore not completely double-story. Since the axles of the passenger transport vehicle can be provided, for example, in the longitudinal direction at end areas of the car body, these end areas are preferably single-story.
  • the lower floor provided in this way has two entry areas for side entry of passengers, which are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the passenger transport vehicle, with a first passenger area being provided in the longitudinal direction between the entry areas.
  • the entry areas each have at least one door device.
  • the term "passenger area” is to be understood as being suitable for accommodating passengers in a comfortable manner over a longer period of time.
  • a passenger area has seating devices so that a passenger does not have to spend the journey in an awkward position.
  • boarding area means that a door device is mandatory in this, whereby the primary purpose of an boarding area is to enable passengers to access a passenger area of the vehicle from outside the vehicle.
  • the upper floor comprises a second passenger area, a third passenger area and a fourth passenger area.
  • the entire upper floor is arranged essentially vertically directly above the boarding areas and the first passenger area.
  • the second and third passenger areas of the upper floor are provided essentially directly above the boarding areas.
  • the fourth passenger area lies longitudinally between the second and third passenger areas, whereby the fourth passenger area is thus arranged essentially above the first passenger area of the lower floor.
  • This arrangement means that not only the first passenger area on the lower floor and the fourth passenger area on the upper floor can be used to transport seated passengers, but also the third and fourth passenger areas above the boarding areas can be used for this purpose.
  • the boarding areas and the door devices are essentially at a similar height to the first passenger area on the lower floor - however, a small difference in height is possible and may also be useful - so that access to the first passenger area is made easier via the boarding area.
  • a relatively large difference in height would have to be overcome in order to get from the boarding area to a passenger area.
  • the car body comprises a staircase device which is designed in such a way that access is possible from an entry area to the upper floor and to the single-storey carriage sections.
  • the first and/or the fourth passenger area can be constructed as so-called transverse seating areas.
  • the second and third passenger areas above the entry areas on the upper floor are designed as longitudinal seating areas.
  • the differentiation as a transverse seating area or longitudinal seating area is made on the basis of the arrangement of a predominant proportion of the existing seating devices for passengers: in a transverse seating area, the seating direction of the passengers is predominantly aligned in or against the direction of travel or in the longitudinal direction, in particular the seating devices are designed as double seats with two seats next to each other.
  • the longitudinal seating area on the other hand, mainly comprises seating devices whose seating direction is essentially aligned transversely to the direction of travel or in the transverse direction of the passenger transport vehicle.
  • the first passenger area can have, in addition to the seating, areas without seating - or with folding seats - which are specifically reserved for wheelchairs, for storing luggage or for bicycles.
  • the seating devices of the second and third passenger areas which are designed as longitudinal seats, are arranged longitudinally on the side of the car body. This allows access to the fourth passenger area, in particular designed as a transverse seating area, centrally between the seating devices of the second and third passenger areas.
  • the second and third passenger areas each comprise seating arrangements for at least five, in particular eight persons.
  • a basic idea is based on a passenger transport vehicle, whereby the car body - and possibly in conjunction with a position of the axles - is designed in such a way that a floor clearance in the vertical direction between a lateral entry edge of the door device and a rail top edge is between 700 and 800 mm, preferably between 720 and 780 mm, particularly preferably 760 mm. In this way, it is achieved for the first time that access to the The entry area of the passenger transport vehicle can essentially be at the same or similar height level on most platforms.
  • the first passenger area comprises a first passenger floor, the first passenger floor being lower in the vertical direction than an entry floor of the entry area.
  • a height difference must be overcome, although both areas are located on the lower floor.
  • This different arrangement of the floors means that the space available in the cross-section of the car body can be used particularly efficiently, in particular a larger vertical installation space is available for the first passenger area on the lower floor and for the fourth passenger area on the upper floor.
  • the arrangement of the entry area comprising an entry edge at the advantageous height level mentioned above is made possible.
  • a so-called first vertical distance between the entry floor and the first passenger floor in the vertical direction is between 50 and 250 mm, preferably between 100 and 170 mm, in particular 123 or 147 mm.
  • the first passenger floor is arranged lower in the vertical direction than the entry edge of the door device.
  • a height difference must therefore be overcome in order to get from the entry edge to the level of the first passenger floor.
  • the entry area can have a slope that leads from the height level of the entry edge to the height level of the first passenger floor.
  • the second passenger area is provided with a second passenger floor, the third passenger area with a third passenger floor and the fourth passenger area with a fourth passenger floor
  • the fourth passenger floor is arranged lower in the vertical direction than the second passenger floor and/or the third passenger floor.
  • the fourth passenger floor is therefore at a lower height than the second and/or third passenger floor.
  • This measure also helps to ensure that the installation space of the car body can be used particularly efficiently in the cross-sectional direction. In particular, this makes it possible to provide a minimum height of the fourth passenger area of 1950 mm while at the same time arranging supply facilities in an installation space in a central area of the ceiling above the fourth passenger area.
  • the fourth passenger area is designed in such a way that it has a central area with fourth minimum dimensions in the transverse direction. These fourth minimum dimensions correspond to the TSI regulations (Technical Specifications for Interoperability for Rail Transport of the European Union).
  • a second vertical distance between the second passenger floor and the fourth passenger floor and/or a third vertical distance between the third passenger floor and the fourth passenger floor is between 50 and 200 mm, preferably between 80 and 150 mm, in particular 107 mm.
  • a ramp is provided between the entry floor and the first passenger floor, by means of which the different height levels between the entry floor and the passenger floor can be overcome without steps.
  • this ramp can be inclined to a horizontal at a first angle of less than 10°, in particular 8.5°.
  • a step at a transition between the entry floor and the first Passenger floor is designed with essentially horizontal surfaces.
  • a transition/transitions between the second passenger floor and the fourth passenger floor and/or between the third passenger floor and the fourth passenger floor is/are equipped with a second and/or a third ramp, so that a height difference between these passenger floors can be overcome without steps.
  • the second and/or third ramp is/are inclined to the horizontal at a second angle of less than 10°, in particular less than 8.5°, preferably by 7°.
  • the presence of the ramp/s at the transition between the fourth passenger area and the second and/or third passenger area is particularly advantageous for the spatial design of the car body. This is because it prevents a passenger from making an abrupt height difference when passing through these transitions, which could potentially lead to the passenger's head colliding with part of the ceiling of the upper floor.
  • the stepless transition in the upper floor thus reduces the risk of injury to passengers.
  • the entry floor of the entry area is arranged at a lower height than the entry edge.
  • the entry floor is limited to a central floor section of the entry area.
  • a slope is provided between the entry edge and the lower entry floor in order to ensure a smooth transition from the entry edge on the door device to the entry floor.
  • step-free transitions or a step-free slope in the lower floor ensure good barrier-free access to the lower floor, so that wheelchairs, suitcases, bicycles, etc. can reach the first passenger area particularly easily.
  • the second and third passenger areas are designed in such a way that space is provided for supply equipment in an area between a lateral wall of the car body and the seating arrangements. This means that this space is designed in such a way that cables, air conditioning shafts, hoses, functional components or other facilities can be arranged for the operation of the passenger transport vehicle.
  • the car body and the interior of the car body in the area of the second and/or third passenger area can be designed in such a way that there is no relevant installation space for supply facilities, for example for air conditioning ducts, in a central area of the ceiling of the second and/or third passenger area.
  • the entire cross-section, in particular the height, of the car body is thus used for efficient use for passenger transport. This is particularly advantageous if the second passenger floor and/or the third passenger floor is/are located at a higher level than the fourth passenger floor.
  • the central section of the second and/or third passenger area therefore also complies with the TSI requirements.
  • the car body and interior fittings in the area of the fourth passenger area can be selected so that there is space for supply facilities in a central area of the ceiling of the fourth passenger area.
  • supply facilities in the area of the second and third passenger areas can be provided laterally on a wall area of the car body, which are then transferred to the middle of the ceiling at the transition to the fourth passenger area.

  • the car body is constructed in the area of the entry area such that a side door area - i.e. a lateral section of the entry area in the immediate vicinity of the door device - is designed to be higher in terms of vertical characteristics than a central middle area of the entry area - i.e. a central section of the entry area above the central entry floor.
  • This can be achieved, for example, by the third and/or fourth passenger floor having a support structure that is bent downwards in cross-section. This can reduce the risk of injury for taller passengers who may enter the passenger transport vehicle through the door device with a swing from a platform that is higher than the entry edge.

Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Personentransportfahrzeug, insbesondere ein Schienenfahrzeug oder ein Bus. Solche Personentransportfahrzeuge sind aus dem Nah- und Fernverkehr bekannt und fahren unterschiedliche Bahnhöfe und Haltestellen an. Typischerweise sind solche Haltestellen oder Bahnhöfe mit Bahnsteigen ausgestattet, von denen Passagiere aus erhöhter Position durch Türvorrichtungen direkt in das Personentransportfahrzeug ein- und aussteigen können.The present invention relates to a passenger transport vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle or a bus. Such passenger transport vehicles are known from local and long-distance transport and serve different train stations and stops. Typically, such stops or train stations are equipped with platforms from which passengers can get on and off the passenger transport vehicle directly from an elevated position through door devices.

Vorbekannter Stand der TechnikPreviously known state of the art

Allgemein bekannt sind auch solche Personentransportfahrzeuge, welche zweigeschossig ausgebildet sind und somit Passagiere auf zwei Etagen transportieren können. Dazu sind gewöhnlich innerhalb der Personentransportfahrzeuge Trittvorrichtungen vorgesehen, über welche Passagiere von einem Eingang in die untere Etage oder in die obere Etage gelangen können. Die Druckschrift DE 295 07 057 U1 betrifft ein doppelstöckiges Schienenfahrzeug mit Niederflureinstiegen, insbesondere Doppelstockmittel- oder Steuerwagen.Also well known are passenger transport vehicles which are designed with two floors and can therefore transport passengers on two levels. For this purpose, steps are usually provided inside the passenger transport vehicles, via which passengers can get from an entrance to the lower floor or to the upper floor. The publication DE 295 07 057 U1 concerns a double-decker rail vehicle with low-floor entrances, in particular a double-decker middle or control car.

Für gewöhnlich befinden sich die Einstiegsbereiche eines Personentransportfahrzeugs über den Achsen des Fahrzeugs, sodass ein Höhenniveau der Einstiegsbereiche bezüglich der unteren Etage erhöht ist.Typically, the entry areas of a passenger transport vehicle are located above the axles of the vehicle, so that the height of the entry areas is raised relative to the lower floor.

Nachteile des Standes der TechnikDisadvantages of the state of the art

Die bisher bekannten Lösungen bedingen zum Teil eine erschwerte Zugänglichkeit der unteren oder oberen Etage vom Einstiegsbereich her. Weiterhin wird nicht das volle Platzangebot des Personentransportfahrzeugs zum sitzenden Transport von Passagieren genutzt.The solutions known to date sometimes make it difficult to access the lower or upper floors from the entry area. Furthermore, the full space available in the passenger transport vehicle is not used to transport passengers while seated.

ProblemstellungProblem

Eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, ein verbessertes Personentransportfahrzeug zum Transport von Passagieren bereitzustellen, wobei insbesondere eine einfache Zugänglichkeit bei gleichzeitiger hoher Personentransportkapazität gewährleistet werden soll.An object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved passenger transport vehicle for transporting passengers, wherein In particular, easy accessibility and at the same time high passenger transport capacity should be ensured.

Erfindungsgemäße LösungInventive solution

Die obige Aufgabe wird durch ein Personentransportfahrzeug nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Unteransprüchen.The above object is achieved by a passenger transport vehicle according to claim 1. Further embodiments of the invention emerge from the dependent subclaims.

Gemäß einer Ausführungsform weist das Personentransportfahrzeug einen Wagenkasten auf, welcher auf mindestens zwei Achsen gelagert ist. Insbesondere können dabei gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Ausführungsform die Achsen in Drehgestellen angeordnet sein, sodass das Personentransportfahrzeug als Schienenfahrzeug ausgebildet ist. Dabei ist es irrelevant, ob die Drehgestelle in Gestalt von sogenannten Jacobs-Drehgestellen dazu dienen, zusätzlich einen weiteren Wagenkasten oder ausschließlich den einen Wagenkasten des einen Schienenfahrzeugs zu tragen.According to one embodiment, the passenger transport vehicle has a car body which is mounted on at least two axles. In particular, according to one embodiment of the embodiment, the axles can be arranged in bogies so that the passenger transport vehicle is designed as a rail vehicle. It is irrelevant whether the bogies in the form of so-called Jacobs bogies are used to additionally support another car body or exclusively the one car body of the one rail vehicle.

Weiterhin ist der Wagenkasten wie folgt gegliedert: in Vertikalrichtung befinden sich einstöckige Wagenabschnitte im Wesentlichen senkrecht über einem Bereich der Achsen bzw. über einem Bereich der Drehgestelle, wobei in Längsrichtung zwischen den einstöckigen Wagenabschnitten ein doppelstöckiger Wagenabschnitt mit einer Unteretage und einer Oberetage vorgesehen ist. Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist der Wagenkasten somit nicht vollständig doppelstöckiger ausgebildet. Da die Achsen des Personentransportfahrzeugs beispielsweise in Längsrichtung an Endbereichen des Wagenkastens vorgesehen sein können, sind diese Endbereiche vorzugsweise einstöckig ausgebildet.Furthermore, the car body is structured as follows: in the vertical direction, single-story car sections are located essentially vertically above an area of the axles or above an area of the bogies, with a double-story car section with a lower level and an upper level being provided in the longitudinal direction between the single-story car sections. According to one embodiment, the car body is therefore not completely double-story. Since the axles of the passenger transport vehicle can be provided, for example, in the longitudinal direction at end areas of the car body, these end areas are preferably single-story.

Die so vorgesehene Unteretage weist erfindungsgemäß zwei Einstiegsbereiche zum seitlichen Einstieg von Passagieren auf, die in Längsrichtung des Personentransportfahrzeug voneinander beanstandet sind, wobei ein erster Passagierbereichs in Längsrichtung zwischen den Einstiegsbereichen vorgesehen ist. Auf diese Weise wird gewährleistet, dass der Zugang zu dem ersten Passagierbereich gleichzeitig über zwei Einstiegsbereiche, insbesondere von derselben Wagenseite her, ermöglicht wird, wodurch eine Beschleunigung des Ein- und Ausstiegvorgangs erreicht wird. Die Einstiegsbereiche weisen dazu jeweils mindestens eine Türvorrichtung auf.Der Begriff "Passagierbereich" ist so zu verstehen, dass dieser dazu geeignet ist, Passagiere über einen längeren Zeitraum in bequemer Art und Weise aufzunehmen. Insbesondere weist ein Passagierbereich dazu Sitzvorrichtungen auf, sodass die Reisezeit von einem Passagier nicht in entstehende Haltung überdauert werden muss. Im Gegensatz dazu bedeutet der Begriff "Einstiegsbereich", dass in diesem eine Türvorrichtung zwingend vorgesehen ist, wobei der vornehmliche Zweck eines Einstiegsbereichs ist, den Zugang von Passagieren von außerhalb des Fahrzeugs zu einem Passagierbereich des Fahrzeugs zu ermöglichen.According to the invention, the lower floor provided in this way has two entry areas for side entry of passengers, which are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the passenger transport vehicle, with a first passenger area being provided in the longitudinal direction between the entry areas. In this way, it is ensured that access to the first passenger area is possible simultaneously via two entry areas, in particular from the same side of the vehicle, thereby accelerating the entry and exit process. The entry areas each have at least one door device.The The term "passenger area" is to be understood as being suitable for accommodating passengers in a comfortable manner over a longer period of time. In particular, a passenger area has seating devices so that a passenger does not have to spend the journey in an awkward position. In contrast, the term "boarding area" means that a door device is mandatory in this, whereby the primary purpose of an boarding area is to enable passengers to access a passenger area of the vehicle from outside the vehicle.

Die Oberetage umfasst einen zweiten Passagierbereich, einen dritten Passagierbereich und einen vierten Passagierbereich. Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist die gesamte Oberetage im Wesentlichen in Vertikalrichtung direkt über den Einstiegsbereichen und dem ersten Passagierbereichs angeordnet. Dabei sind der zweite und dritte Passagierbereich der Oberetage im Wesentlichen direkt über den Einstiegsbereichen vorgesehen. Der vierte Passagierbereich liegt in Längsrichtung zwischen dem zweiten und dritten Passagierbereich, wobei somit der vierte Passagierbereich im Wesentlichen über dem ersten Passagierbereich der Unteretage angeordnet ist.The upper floor comprises a second passenger area, a third passenger area and a fourth passenger area. According to one embodiment, the entire upper floor is arranged essentially vertically directly above the boarding areas and the first passenger area. The second and third passenger areas of the upper floor are provided essentially directly above the boarding areas. The fourth passenger area lies longitudinally between the second and third passenger areas, whereby the fourth passenger area is thus arranged essentially above the first passenger area of the lower floor.

Diese Anordnung hat zur Folge, dass nicht nur der erste Passagierbereich der Unteretage und der vierte Passagierbereich der Oberetage zum Transport von sitzenden Passagieren verwendet werden können, sondern auch der dritte und vierte Passagierbereich über den Einstiegsbereichen diesem Zweck zugeführt werden kann.This arrangement means that not only the first passenger area on the lower floor and the fourth passenger area on the upper floor can be used to transport seated passengers, but also the third and fourth passenger areas above the boarding areas can be used for this purpose.

Weiterhin befinden sich die Einstiegsbereiche und die Türvorrichtungen im Wesentlichen auf einem ähnlichen Höhenniveau wie der erste Passagierbereich der Unteretage - ein geringer Höhenunterschied ist jedoch möglich und auch unter Umständen sinnvoll -, sodass der Zugang zu dem ersten Passagierbereich über den Einstiegsbereich erleichtert wird. Klärend sei angemerkt, wenn Einstiegsbereiche gemäß Stand der Technik in einem Bereich über den Achsen angeordnet wären, so müsste ein relativ großer Höhenunterschied überwunden werden, um vom Einstiegsbereich in einen Passagierbereich zu gelangen.Furthermore, the boarding areas and the door devices are essentially at a similar height to the first passenger area on the lower floor - however, a small difference in height is possible and may also be useful - so that access to the first passenger area is made easier via the boarding area. To clarify, if boarding areas were arranged in an area above the axes in accordance with the state of the art, a relatively large difference in height would have to be overcome in order to get from the boarding area to a passenger area.

Gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung, umfasst der Wagenkasten eine Treppeneinrichtung, welche derart ausgestaltet ist, dass damit ein Zugang jeweils von einem Einstiegsbereich in die Oberetage und in die einstöckigen Wagenabschnitte gewährleistet wird.According to one embodiment of the invention, the car body comprises a staircase device which is designed in such a way that access is possible from an entry area to the upper floor and to the single-storey carriage sections.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung kann/können der erste und/oder der vierte Passagierbereich als so genannte Quersitzbereiche konstruiert sein. Der zweite und dritte Passagierbereich über den Einstiegsbereichen in der Oberetage sind als Längssitzbereiche ausgebildet. Die Differenzierung als Quersitzbereich oder Längssitzbereich erfolgt auf Basis der Anordnung eines überwiegenden Anteils der vorhandenen Sitzvorrichtungen für Passagiere: in einem Quersitzbereich ist die Sitzrichtung der Passagiere zum überwiegenden Teil in oder gegen Fahrtrichtung bzw. in Längsrichtung ausgerichtet, insbesondere sind dabei die Sitzvorrichtungen als Doppelsitze mit jeweils zwei Sitzen nebeneinander gestaltet. Der Längssitzbereich hingegen umfasst zum überwiegenden Teil Sitzvorrichtungen, deren Sitzrichtung im Wesentlichen quer zur Fahrtrichtung bzw. in Querrichtung des Personentransportfahrzeugs ausgerichtet ist.According to a further embodiment, the first and/or the fourth passenger area can be constructed as so-called transverse seating areas. The second and third passenger areas above the entry areas on the upper floor are designed as longitudinal seating areas. The differentiation as a transverse seating area or longitudinal seating area is made on the basis of the arrangement of a predominant proportion of the existing seating devices for passengers: in a transverse seating area, the seating direction of the passengers is predominantly aligned in or against the direction of travel or in the longitudinal direction, in particular the seating devices are designed as double seats with two seats next to each other. The longitudinal seating area, on the other hand, mainly comprises seating devices whose seating direction is essentially aligned transversely to the direction of travel or in the transverse direction of the passenger transport vehicle.

Insbesondere der erste Passagierbereich kann dabei neben den Sitzvorrichtungen Bereiche ohne Sitzvorrichtungen - oder mit Klappsitzen - aufweisen, welche speziell für Rollstühle, zur Ablage von Gepäck oder für Fahrräder reserviert sind.In particular, the first passenger area can have, in addition to the seating, areas without seating - or with folding seats - which are specifically reserved for wheelchairs, for storing luggage or for bicycles.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung sind die als Längssitze ausgebildeten Sitzvorrichtungen des zweiten und dritten Passagierbereichs in Längsrichtung seitlich am Wagenkasten angeordnet. Dadurch kann der Zugang zu dem vierten Passagierbereich, insbesondere ausgebildet als Quersitzbereich, mittig zwischen durch Sitzvorrichtungen des zweiten und dritten Passagierbereichs erfolgen.According to a further embodiment, the seating devices of the second and third passenger areas, which are designed as longitudinal seats, are arranged longitudinally on the side of the car body. This allows access to the fourth passenger area, in particular designed as a transverse seating area, centrally between the seating devices of the second and third passenger areas.

Der zweite und dritte Passagierbereich umfassen jeweils Sitzvorrichtungen für mindestens fünf, insbesondere für acht Personen.The second and third passenger areas each comprise seating arrangements for at least five, in particular eight persons.

Eine grundsätzliche Idee geht von einem Personentransportfahrzeug aus, wobei der Wagenkasten - und gegebenenfalls in Zusammenspiel mit einer Position der Achsen - so ausgeführt es, dass ein Bodenabstand in Vertikalrichtung zwischen einer lateralen Einstiegskante der Türvorrichtung und einer Schienenoberkante zwischen 700 und 800 mm, bevorzugt zwischen 720 und 780 mm, besonders bevorzugt 760 mm beträgt. Auf diese Weise wird erstmalig erreicht, dass der Zugang in den Einstiegsbereich des Personentransportfahrzeugs an einem Großteil von Bahnsteigen im Wesentlichen bei gleichem oder ähnlichen Höhenniveau stattfinden kann. Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass es - entgegen der Expertenannahme - bei vorteilhafter Gestaltung des Wagenkastens sinnvoller sein kann, das Höhenniveau des Einstiegsbereichs eines Personentransportfahrzeugs an das Höhenniveau eines Bahnsteiges anzupassen, anstatt zur Überbrückung des Höhenunterschieds Stufen- oder Rampenvorrichtungen daran vorzusehen.A basic idea is based on a passenger transport vehicle, whereby the car body - and possibly in conjunction with a position of the axles - is designed in such a way that a floor clearance in the vertical direction between a lateral entry edge of the door device and a rail top edge is between 700 and 800 mm, preferably between 720 and 780 mm, particularly preferably 760 mm. In this way, it is achieved for the first time that access to the The entry area of the passenger transport vehicle can essentially be at the same or similar height level on most platforms. It has been found that - contrary to expert assumptions - it can be more sensible, if the car body is designed advantageously, to adjust the height level of the entry area of a passenger transport vehicle to the height level of a platform, instead of providing steps or ramps to bridge the height difference.

Der erste Passagierbereich umfasst einen ersten Passagierboden, wobei der erste Passagierboden in Vertikalrichtung niedriger als ein Einstiegsboden des Einstiegsbereichs liegt. Um vom Einstiegsbereich in den ersten Passagierbereich zu gelangen - oder umgekehrt - muss ein Höhenunterschied überwunden werden, obgleich beide Bereiche in der Unteretage angeordnet sind. Diese unterschiedliche Anordnung der Böden bewirkt, dass das Platzangebot im Querschnitt des Wagenkastens besonders effizient genutzt werden kann, insbesondere steht somit ein größerer vertikaler Bauraum für den ersten Passagierbereich in der Unteretage und für den vierten Passagierbereichs in der Oberetage zur Verfügung. Gleichzeitig wird dabei gleichzeitig die Anordnung des Einstiegsbereichs umfassend eine auf dem vorteilhaften oben genannten Höhenniveau liegenden Einstiegskante ermöglicht.The first passenger area comprises a first passenger floor, the first passenger floor being lower in the vertical direction than an entry floor of the entry area. In order to get from the entry area to the first passenger area - or vice versa - a height difference must be overcome, although both areas are located on the lower floor. This different arrangement of the floors means that the space available in the cross-section of the car body can be used particularly efficiently, in particular a larger vertical installation space is available for the first passenger area on the lower floor and for the fourth passenger area on the upper floor. At the same time, the arrangement of the entry area comprising an entry edge at the advantageous height level mentioned above is made possible.

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Ausführungsform beträgt ein so genannter erster Vertikalabstand zwischen dem Einstiegsboden und dem ersten Passagierboden in Vertikalrichtung zwischen 50 und 250 mm, vorzugsweise zwischen 100 und 170 mm, insbesondere 123 oder 147 mm.According to one embodiment of the invention, a so-called first vertical distance between the entry floor and the first passenger floor in the vertical direction is between 50 and 250 mm, preferably between 100 and 170 mm, in particular 123 or 147 mm.

Gemäß einer weiteren, zusätzlichen oder alternativen Ausführungsform ist erste Passagierboden in Vertikalrichtung niedriger als die Einstiegskante der Türvorrichtung angeordnet. Es muss somit ein Höhenunterschied überwunden werden um von der Einstiegskante auf das Niveau des ersten Passagierbodens zu gelangen. Entsprechend kann der Einstiegsbereich eine Schräge aufweisen, die vom Höhenniveau der Einstiegskante auf das Höhenniveau des ersten Passagierbodens führt.According to a further, additional or alternative embodiment, the first passenger floor is arranged lower in the vertical direction than the entry edge of the door device. A height difference must therefore be overcome in order to get from the entry edge to the level of the first passenger floor. Accordingly, the entry area can have a slope that leads from the height level of the entry edge to the height level of the first passenger floor.

Einer weiteren Ausführungsform folgend, sind der zweite Passagierbereich mit einem zweiten Passagierboden, der dritte Passagierbereich mit einem dritten Passagierboden und der vierte Passagierbereich mit einem vierten Passagierboden versehen. Dabei ist der vierte Passagierboden in Vertikalrichtung niedriger als der zweite Passagierboden und/oder als der dritte Passagierboden angeordnet. Der vierte Passagierboden liegt somit auf einem niedrigeren Höhenniveau als der zweite und/oder dritte Passagierboden. Auch diese Maßnahme trägt dazu bei, dass der Bauraum des Wagenkastens in Querschnittsrichtung besonders effizient genutzt werden kann. Insbesondere wird somit ermöglicht, dass eine minimale Höhe des vierten Passagierbereichs von 1950 mm bei gleichzeitiger Anordnung von Versorgungseinrichtungen in einem Bauraum in einem mittigen Bereich der Decke über dem vierten Passagierbereich bereitgestellt werden kann. Weiterhin ist der vierte Passagierbereich so gestaltet, dass dieser bezüglich der Querrichtung einen mittleren Bereich mit vierten Mindestabmessungen aufweist. Diese vierten Mindestabmessungen entsprechen den TSI-Vorschriften (Technische Spezifikationen für die Interoperabilität für Interoperabilität im Schienenverkehr der Europäischen Union).According to a further embodiment, the second passenger area is provided with a second passenger floor, the third passenger area with a third passenger floor and the fourth passenger area with a fourth passenger floor The fourth passenger floor is arranged lower in the vertical direction than the second passenger floor and/or the third passenger floor. The fourth passenger floor is therefore at a lower height than the second and/or third passenger floor. This measure also helps to ensure that the installation space of the car body can be used particularly efficiently in the cross-sectional direction. In particular, this makes it possible to provide a minimum height of the fourth passenger area of 1950 mm while at the same time arranging supply facilities in an installation space in a central area of the ceiling above the fourth passenger area. Furthermore, the fourth passenger area is designed in such a way that it has a central area with fourth minimum dimensions in the transverse direction. These fourth minimum dimensions correspond to the TSI regulations (Technical Specifications for Interoperability for Rail Transport of the European Union).

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung beträgt ein zweiter Vertikalabstand zwischen dem zweiten Passagierboden und dem vierten Passagierboden und/oder ein dritter Vertikalabstand zwischen dem dritten Passagierboden und dem vierten Passagierboden zwischen 50 und 200 mm, vorzugsweise zwischen 80 und 150 mm, insbesondere 107 mm.According to one embodiment of the invention, a second vertical distance between the second passenger floor and the fourth passenger floor and/or a third vertical distance between the third passenger floor and the fourth passenger floor is between 50 and 200 mm, preferably between 80 and 150 mm, in particular 107 mm.

Ein Übergang zwischen dem Einstiegsboden und dem ersten Passagierboden ist stufenlos ausgebildet. Auf diese Weise kann der erste Passagierbereich besonders einfach vom Einstiegsbereich erreicht werden, wobei diese Erleichterung beispielsweise Menschen mit Gehbehinderung zu Gute kommt und/oder schweres, rollbares Gepäck besonders gut in den ersten Passagierbereich transportiert werden kann.There is a stepless transition between the entry floor and the first passenger floor. This makes it particularly easy to reach the first passenger area from the entry area, which is beneficial for people with walking difficulties, for example, and/or heavy, rollable luggage can be transported particularly easily into the first passenger area.

Zwischen dem Einstiegsboden und dem ersten Passagierboden ist eine Rampe vorgesehen, mittels welcher das unterschiedliche Höhenniveau zwischen Einstiegsboden und Passagierboden stufenlos überwunden werden kann. Beispielsweise kann diese Rampe gegenüber einer Horizontalen unter einem ersten Winkel von weniger als 10°, insbesondere 8,5° geneigt sein.A ramp is provided between the entry floor and the first passenger floor, by means of which the different height levels between the entry floor and the passenger floor can be overcome without steps. For example, this ramp can be inclined to a horizontal at a first angle of less than 10°, in particular 8.5°.

Gemäß einer alternativen Erweiterung dieses Grundprinzips wird angeführt, eine Stufe an einem Übergang zwischen dem Einstiegsboden und dem ersten Passagierboden vorzusehen. Dadurch kann der Übergang im Wesentlichen mit horizontal verlaufenden Flächen ausgebildet werden.According to an alternative extension of this basic principle, a step at a transition between the entry floor and the first Passenger floor. This means that the transition can be designed with essentially horizontal surfaces.

Einer weiteren Ausgestaltung folgend ist/sind ein Übergang/Übergänge zwischen dem zweiten Passagierboden und dem vierten Passagierboden und/oder zwischen dem dritten Passagierboden und dem vierten Passagierboden mit einer zweiten und/oder mit einer dritten Rampe ausgestattet, sodass ein zwischen diesen Passagierböden vorhandener Höhenunterschied stufenlos überwindbar ist. Vorzugsweise ist/sind die zweite und/oder dritte Rampe gegenüber der Horizontalen mit einem zweiten Winkel von weniger als 10°, insbesondere weniger als 8,5°, bevorzugt um 7° geneigt. Das Vorhandensein der Rampe/n am Übergang zwischen dem vierten Passagierbereich zum zweiten und/oder dritten Passagierbereich ist besonders vorteilhaft für die Raumgestaltung des Wagenkastens. Denn auf diese Weise wird verhindert, dass ein Passagier beim Durchschreiten dieser Übergänge einen abrupten Höhenunterschied vollzöge, was unter Umständen zu einer Kollision des Kopfes des Passagiers mit einem Teil der Decke der Oberetage führen könnte. Der stufenlose Übergang in der Oberetage reduziert somit das Verletzungsrisiko für Passagiere.According to a further embodiment, a transition/transitions between the second passenger floor and the fourth passenger floor and/or between the third passenger floor and the fourth passenger floor is/are equipped with a second and/or a third ramp, so that a height difference between these passenger floors can be overcome without steps. Preferably, the second and/or third ramp is/are inclined to the horizontal at a second angle of less than 10°, in particular less than 8.5°, preferably by 7°. The presence of the ramp/s at the transition between the fourth passenger area and the second and/or third passenger area is particularly advantageous for the spatial design of the car body. This is because it prevents a passenger from making an abrupt height difference when passing through these transitions, which could potentially lead to the passenger's head colliding with part of the ceiling of the upper floor. The stepless transition in the upper floor thus reduces the risk of injury to passengers.

Der Einstiegsboden des Einstiegsbereichs ist auf einem niedrigeren Höhenniveau als die Einstiegskante angeordnet. Insbesondere beschränkt sich dabei der Einstiegsboden auf einen mittigen Bodenabschnitt des Einstiegsbereichs. Eine Schräge ist zwischen der Einstiegskante und dem dazu niedrigeren Einstiegsboden vorgesehen, um einen stufenlosen Übergang von der Einstiegskante an der Türvorrichtung zum Einstiegsboden gewährleisten zu können.The entry floor of the entry area is arranged at a lower height than the entry edge. In particular, the entry floor is limited to a central floor section of the entry area. A slope is provided between the entry edge and the lower entry floor in order to ensure a smooth transition from the entry edge on the door device to the entry floor.

Die oben beschriebenen Maßnahmen zur Ausbildung von stufenlosen Übergängen bzw. einer stufenlosen Schräge in der Unteretage bedingen einen guten barrierefreien Zugang zur Unteretage, sodass Rollstühle, Koffer, Fahrräder, etc. besonders einfach in den ersten Passagierbereich gelangen können.The measures described above for the creation of step-free transitions or a step-free slope in the lower floor ensure good barrier-free access to the lower floor, so that wheelchairs, suitcases, bicycles, etc. can reach the first passenger area particularly easily.

Der zweite und dritte Passagierbereich ist so ausgebildet, dass in einem Bereich zwischen einer lateralen Wandung des Wagenkastens und den Sitzvorrichtungen Bauraum für Versorgungseinrichtungen vorgesehen ist. Das bedeutet, dieser Bauraum ist derart gestaltet, dass darin Kabel, Klimatisierungsschächte, Schläuche, Funktionskomponenten oder weitere Einrichtungen zum Betrieb des Personentransportfahrzeugs angeordnet werden können.The second and third passenger areas are designed in such a way that space is provided for supply equipment in an area between a lateral wall of the car body and the seating arrangements. This means that this space is designed in such a way that cables, air conditioning shafts, hoses, functional components or other facilities can be arranged for the operation of the passenger transport vehicle.

Zusätzlich zu der voranstehenden Ausführungsform können gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Wagenkasten und der Innenausbau des Wagenkastens im Bereich des zweiten und/oder des dritten Passagierbereichs derart erfolgen, dass in einem mittigen Bereich der Decke des zweiten und/oder dritten Passagierbereichs kein relevanter Bauraum für Versorgungseinrichtungen, zum Beispiel für Klimakanäle, vorhanden ist. Somit wird der gesamte Querschnitt, insbesondere die Höhe, des Wagenkastens zur effizienten Nutzung zum Personentransport ausgenutzt. Dies ist insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn der zweite Passagierboden und/oder der dritte Passagierboden auf einem höheren Niveau als der vierte Passagierboden angesiedelt ist/sind. Der mittige Abschnitt des zweiten und/oder des dritten Passagierbereichs entspricht somit auch den TSI-Anforderungen.In addition to the above embodiment, according to a further embodiment, the car body and the interior of the car body in the area of the second and/or third passenger area can be designed in such a way that there is no relevant installation space for supply facilities, for example for air conditioning ducts, in a central area of the ceiling of the second and/or third passenger area. The entire cross-section, in particular the height, of the car body is thus used for efficient use for passenger transport. This is particularly advantageous if the second passenger floor and/or the third passenger floor is/are located at a higher level than the fourth passenger floor. The central section of the second and/or third passenger area therefore also complies with the TSI requirements.

Zusätzlich oder alternativ können Wagenkasten und Innenausbau im Bereich des vierten Passagierbereichs so gewählt sein, dass in einem mittigen Bereich der Decke des vierten Passagierbereichs Bauraum für Versorgungseinrichtungen vorhanden ist. Im Zusammenspiel mit der zuvor genannten Ausgestaltung können Versorgungseinrichtungen im Bereich des zweiten und dritten Passagierbereichs lateral an einem Wandbereich des Wagenkastens vorgesehen werden, welche dann beim Übergang in den vierten Passagierbereich mittig an die Decke übergeführt werden. Dies ist insbesondere erstrebenswert, wenn im vierten Passagierbereich seitliche Gepäcksablagen im Deckenbereich vorgesehen sind.Additionally or alternatively, the car body and interior fittings in the area of the fourth passenger area can be selected so that there is space for supply facilities in a central area of the ceiling of the fourth passenger area. In conjunction with the previously mentioned design, supply facilities in the area of the second and third passenger areas can be provided laterally on a wall area of the car body, which are then transferred to the middle of the ceiling at the transition to the fourth passenger area. This is particularly desirable if side luggage racks are provided in the ceiling area in the fourth passenger area.

Gemäß einer Ausführungsform ist der Wagenkasten im Bereich des Einstiegsbereich so konstruiert, dass ein seitlicher Türbereich - also ein lateraler Abschnitt des Einstiegsbereich in unmittelbarer Umgebung der Türvorrichtung - hinsichtlich einer vertikalen Ausprägung höher ausgebildet ist als ein mittiger Mittelbereich des Einstiegsbereichs - also ein mittiger Abschnitt des Einstiegsbereichs über dem mittigen Einstiegsboden. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, indem der dritte und/oder vierte Passagierboden eine im Querschnitt nach unten gekröpfte Tragstruktur aufweist. Somit kann die Verletzungsgefahr für größere Passagiere verringert werden, welche gegebenenfalls schwungvoll von einem höher als die Einstiegskante liegenden Bahnsteig in das Personentransportfahrzeug durch die Türvorrichtung einsteigen.According to one embodiment, the car body is constructed in the area of the entry area such that a side door area - i.e. a lateral section of the entry area in the immediate vicinity of the door device - is designed to be higher in terms of vertical characteristics than a central middle area of the entry area - i.e. a central section of the entry area above the central entry floor. This can be achieved, for example, by the third and/or fourth passenger floor having a support structure that is bent downwards in cross-section. This can reduce the risk of injury for taller passengers who may enter the passenger transport vehicle through the door device with a swing from a platform that is higher than the entry edge.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform sind die Türvorrichtungen und/oder die Einstiegsbereiche zum Ein- und Aussteigen in das Personentransportfahrzeug nicht über einer Achse und/oder einem Drehgestell angeordnet. Mit anderen Worten, das Höhenniveau der Einstiegskante und/oder des Einstiegsbodens liegt niedriger als eine in Vertikalrichtung obere Kante eines an der Achse geführten Rades. Klären sei hinzugefügt, dass in einem Bereich über eine Achse oder über einem Drehgestell durchaus Türvorrichtungen vorgesehen sein können, wobei diese Türvorrichtungen dazu ausschließlich dazu geeignet sind, um in ein weiteres, sich an das Personentransportfahrzeug anschließendes Personentransportfahrzeug zu gelangen.According to a further embodiment, the door devices and/or the entry areas for getting in and out of the passenger transport vehicle are not arranged above an axle and/or a bogie. In other words, the height of the entry edge and/or the entry floor is lower than a vertically upper edge of a wheel guided on the axle. It should be clarified that door devices can certainly be provided in an area above an axle or above a bogie, whereby these door devices are only suitable for getting into another passenger transport vehicle that is connected to the passenger transport vehicle.

Durch Ausbildung des Personentransportfahrzeugs nach einem oder mehreren der beschriebenen Ausführungsformen und/oder Ausgestaltungen wird sichergestellt, dass die Einstiegsbereiche erste Mindestabmessungen, der zweite, dritte und vierte Passagierbereich jeweils zweite Mindestabmessungen, dritte Mindestabmessungen und vierte Mindestabmessungen aufweist, wobei sämtliche Mindestabmessungen den Vorschriften nach den Technische Spezifikationen für die Interoperabilität (TSI) im Schienenverkehr der Europäischen Union entsprechen. Dadurch wird gewährleistet, dass einem durchschnittlich gewachsenen Menschen ein ausreichender Bewegungsraum in den Einstiegsbereichen, den Gangbereichen des zweiten, des dritten und des vierten Passagierbereichs zur Verfügung gestellt wird.By designing the passenger transport vehicle according to one or more of the described embodiments and/or configurations, it is ensured that the entry areas have first minimum dimensions, the second, third and fourth passenger areas each have second minimum dimensions, third minimum dimensions and fourth minimum dimensions, with all minimum dimensions complying with the provisions of the European Union's Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) for rail transport. This ensures that an averagely sized person is provided with sufficient space to move in the entry areas and the aisle areas of the second, third and fourth passenger areas.

Weiterhin wird offenbart, dass der Einstiegsbereich in Wirknähe zur Türvorrichtung eine nach unten führende Trittstufe und/oder ein Schiebetritt aufweist. Der Schiebetritte kann dabei zum einen dazu dienen, einen möglicherweise vorhandenen Spalt zwischen Bahnsteig und Fahrzeug zu überbrücken, und/oder zum anderen derart ausgebildet sein, dass ein Rollstuhl im Wesentlichen ohne externes Anheben von einer Bahnsteigkante in das Personentransportfahrzeug bewegbar ist.It is further disclosed that the entry area has a step leading downwards and/or a sliding step in the effective proximity to the door device. The sliding step can serve to bridge a possible gap between the platform and the vehicle and/or can be designed in such a way that a wheelchair can be moved into the passenger transport vehicle essentially without external lifting from a platform edge.

Weiterhin ist eine Anordnung einer Toilette in der Unteretage vorteilhaft, insbesondere deren in der Unteretage vorteilhaft, insbesondere eine Palette mit einer behindertengerechten Ausprägung. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, dass - im Gegensatz zu einer Anordnung einer Toilette in der Oberetage - jeder Passagier unabhängig von seinen körperlichen Fähigkeiten die Toilette erreichen kann.Furthermore, it is advantageous to have a toilet on the lower floor, in particular a pallet with a disabled-accessible design. This ensures that - in contrast to having a toilet on the upper floor - every passenger can reach the toilet regardless of their physical abilities.

Besonders vorteilhaft zeigt sich die Ausprägung einer oder mehrerer Ausführungsformen des beschriebenen Personentransportfahrzeugs als Schienenfahrzeug, insbesondere als Waggon und/oder Triebwagen.It is particularly advantageous to design one or more embodiments of the described passenger transport vehicle as a rail vehicle, in particular as a wagon and/or railcar.

Die voranstehenden beschriebenen Ausführungsformen können beliebig, jedoch in sinnhafter Weise miteinander kombiniert werden.The embodiments described above can be combined with each other in any way that makes sense.

AusführungsbeispieleExamples of implementation

Das in Fig. 1 gezeigte Personentransportfahrzeug ist gemäß einer Ausführungsform als Schienenfahrzeug 1 ausgeführt und in einer seitlichen Ansicht dargestellt.This in Fig.1 The passenger transport vehicle shown is designed according to one embodiment as a rail vehicle 1 and is shown in a side view.

Die Figuren 2 bis 6 geben weitere Ansichten auf das Ausführungsbeispiel des Personentransportfahrzeugs wieder. Dabei wird anhand der Figuren 1 bis 3 die grundsätzliche Aufteilung des Schienenfahrzeugs 1 verdeutlicht.The Figures 2 to 6 provide further views of the embodiment of the passenger transport vehicle. Figures 1 to 3 the basic division of the rail vehicle 1 is illustrated.

Wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt, setzt sich das Schienenfahrzeug 1 unter anderem aus zwei Drehgestellen 68 und einem darauf gelagerten Wagenkasten 3 zusammen, wobei die Drehgestelle 68 jeweils zwei Achsen 2 aufweisen. Die Achsen 2 umfassen wiederum zwei Räder, worüber das Schienenfahrzeug 1 auf Schienen 65 geführt wird.As in Fig.1 As shown, the rail vehicle 1 is composed, among other things, of two bogies 68 and a car body 3 mounted thereon, wherein the bogies 68 each have two axles 2. The axles 2 in turn comprise two wheels, via which the rail vehicle 1 is guided on rails 65.

Hinsichtlich des Schienenfahrzeugs 1 werden eine Querrichtung 60, eine Längsrichtung 59 und eine Vertikalrichtung 62 definiert, wobei die im Folgenden verwendeten Angaben wie "vertikal", "quer", "seitlich", "höher" und "niedriger" bezüglich dieser Richtungsangaben zu interpretieren sind.With regard to the rail vehicle 1, a transverse direction 60, a longitudinal direction 59 and a vertical direction 62 are defined, whereby the information used below, such as "vertical", "transverse", "lateral", "higher" and "lower", are to be interpreted with regard to these directional information.

Der Wagenkasten 3 des Schienenfahrzeugs 1 lässt sich in zwei einstöckige Wagenabschnitte 4 und einen doppelstöckigen Wagenabschnitt 5 untergliedern, wobei die Drehgestelle 68 unter den einstöckigen Wagenabschnitten 4 angesiedelt sind. Der doppelstöckige Wagenabschnitt 5 überragt die obere Kante der Räder des Drehgestell 68 in Vertikalrichtung 62 nach unten.The car body 3 of the rail vehicle 1 can be divided into two single-decker car sections 4 and one double-decker car section 5, with the bogies 68 located under the single-decker car sections 4. The double-decker car section 5 projects downwards beyond the upper edge of the wheels of the bogie 68 in the vertical direction 62.

Der doppelstöckige Wagenabschnitt 5 hat eine Unteretage 6 und eine Oberetage 7, wobei sich die Unteretage 6 in zwei Einstiegsbereiche 50 und in einen in Längsrichtung 59 zwischen den Einstiegsbereichen 50 liegenden ersten Passagierbereich 10 aufteilt (siehe auch Fig. 2), und wobei sich die Oberetage 7 in einen zweiten Passagierbereich 20, einen dritten Passagierbereichs 30 und in einen vierten Passagierbereich 40 aufgegliedert. Wie auch in Fig. 3 zu erkennen, liegt der vierte Passagierbereich 40 in Längsrichtung 59 zwischen dem zweiten Passagierbereich 20 und im dritten Passagierbereichs 30.The double-decker carriage section 5 has a lower floor 6 and an upper floor 7, with the lower floor 6 being divided into two boarding areas 50 and a first passenger area 10 located in the longitudinal direction 59 between the boarding areas 50 (see also Fig.2 ), and the upper floor 7 is divided into a second passenger area 20, a third passenger area 30 and a fourth passenger area 40. As in Fig.3 As can be seen, the fourth passenger area 40 is located in the longitudinal direction 59 between the second passenger area 20 and the third passenger area 30.

Die einstöckigen Wagenabschnitte 4 weisen jeweils einen Durchgang 63 auf, worüber ein Passagier von einem Schienenfahrzeugwagen 1 in einen weiteren, daran angrenzenden Schienenfahrzeugwagen gelangen können. Ein seitlicher Ausstieg aus dem Schienenfahrzeugwagen - zum Beispiel auf einen Bahnsteig - ist über den Durchgang 63 nicht möglich. Weiterhin ist eine Treppeneinrichtung 15 vorgesehen, welche eine Zugangsverbindung vom Einstiegsbereich 50 zum einstöckigen Wagenabschnitte 4 und zur Oberetage 7 bewirkt.The single-story carriage sections 4 each have a passage 63 through which a passenger can get from one rail vehicle carriage 1 into another, adjacent rail vehicle carriage. A side exit from the rail vehicle carriage - for example onto a platform - is not possible via the passage 63. Furthermore, a staircase device 15 is provided, which creates an access connection from the boarding area 50 to the single-story carriage sections 4 and to the upper floor 7.

Der Einstiegsbereich 50 umfasst eine Türvorrichtung 54, vorzugsweise ausgebildet als Schiebetür, worüber ein Ein- und Aussteigen in das Schienenfahrzeug 1 ermöglicht wird. Anhand Fig. 5 wird die detaillierte Ausprägung des Einstiegsbereichs 50 deutlich. Der Einstiegsbereich 50 weist weiterhin in einem lateralen Türbereich 56 eine Einstiegskante 55 auf, wobei der Wagenkasten 3 und der Einstiegsbereich 50 so ausgebildet sind, dass das Höhenniveau in Vertikalrichtung 62 der Einstiegskante 55 in etwa dem Höhenniveau eines Bahnsteiges 62 entspricht. Dazu ist der Wagenkasten - gegebenenfalls im Zusammenspiel mit einer Position der Achsen 2 und der Räder - so ausgeführt es, dass ein Bodenabstand 53 in Vertikalrichtung 62 zwischen einer lateralen Einstiegskante 55 der Türvorrichtung 54 und einer Schienenoberkante 65 zwischen 720 und 780 mm, besonders bevorzugt 760 mm beträgt.The entry area 50 comprises a door device 54, preferably designed as a sliding door, which enables entry and exit into the rail vehicle 1. Fig.5 the detailed design of the entry area 50 becomes clear. The entry area 50 also has an entry edge 55 in a lateral door area 56, the car body 3 and the entry area 50 being designed such that the height level in the vertical direction 62 of the entry edge 55 corresponds approximately to the height level of a platform 62. For this purpose, the car body - if necessary in conjunction with a position of the axles 2 and the wheels - is designed such that a floor clearance 53 in the vertical direction 62 between a lateral entry edge 55 of the door device 54 and a rail top edge 65 is between 720 and 780 mm, particularly preferably 760 mm.

Ein Einstiegsboden 51 des Einstiegsbereichs 50 weist ein niedrigeres Höhenniveau als die Einstiegskante 55 auf, wobei zwischen Einstiegsboden 51 und Einstiegskante 55 eine Schräge 52 angeordnet ist.An entry floor 51 of the entry area 50 has a lower height level than the entry edge 55, with a slope 52 arranged between the entry floor 51 and the entry edge 55.

Weiterhin kann unter dem Boden des Einstiegsbereichs 50 ein ausfahrbarer Schiebetritt 58 zur Überbrückung eines Spaltes zwischen Schienenfahrzeug 1 und der Bahnsteigkante 62 vorgesehen sein.Furthermore, an extendable sliding step 58 can be provided under the floor of the entry area 50 to bridge a gap between the rail vehicle 1 and the platform edge 62.

In Fig. 5 ist weiterhin der dritte Passagierbereich 30 mit einem dritten Passagierboden 31 im Querschnitt gezeigt, wobei der dritte Passagierboden 31 im Querschnitt eine gekröpfte Tragstruktur 32 innehat. Dadurch ist die effektive Höhe im lateralen Türbereich 56 des Einstiegsbereichs 50 größer als die effektive Höhe in einem Mittelbereich 57 des Einstiegsbereichs 50. Der Mittelbereich 57 ist mit ersten Mindestabmessungen 67 ausgebildet, sodass eine ausreichende Höhe für einen Großteil von Passagieren gewährleistet ist und den TSI-Anforderungen entspricht.In Fig.5 the third passenger area 30 with a third passenger floor 31 is also shown in cross section, wherein the third passenger floor 31 has a cranked support structure 32 in cross section. As a result, the effective height in the lateral door area 56 of the entry area 50 is greater than the effective height in a central area 57 of the entry area 50. The central area 57 is designed with first minimum dimensions 67, so that a sufficient height is guaranteed for the majority of passengers and complies with the TSI requirements.

Der nicht dargestellte zweite Passagierbereich 20 entspricht im Wesentlichen dem in Fig. 5 dargestellten dritten Passagierbereich 30. Aus Fig. 5 wird erkennbar, dass die Sitzvorrichtungen 25 als Längssitze ausgebildet sind, sodass darauf ein Passagier quer zur Längsrichtung 59 säße. Hinter den Sitzvorrichtungen 25 - zwischen einer Rückenlehne und einer Wandung 28 des Wagenkastens 3 ist im zweiten und/oder dritten Passagierbereich 20/30 ein sich in Längsrichtung 59 erstreckender Bauraum 26 zur Aufnahme von Fahrzeugkomponenten, zum Beispiel Klimakanäle, Kabelstränge, etc., vorgesehen. Zudem ist unter dem Bauraum 26 ein Antrieb 66 zum automatischen Betrieb der Türvorrichtung 54 vorgesehen.The second passenger area 20, not shown, essentially corresponds to the Fig.5 shown third passenger area 30. From Fig.5 it can be seen that the seating devices 25 are designed as longitudinal seats, so that a passenger would sit on them transversely to the longitudinal direction 59. Behind the seating devices 25 - between a backrest and a wall 28 of the car body 3 - in the second and/or third passenger area 20/30 there is a space 26 extending in the longitudinal direction 59 for accommodating vehicle components, for example air conditioning ducts, Cable harnesses, etc. In addition, a drive 66 for the automatic operation of the door device 54 is provided under the installation space 26.

Weiterhin wird in Fig. 5 die besondere und effiziente Nutzung des Querschnitts des zweistöckigen Wagenabschnitts 5 des Wagenkastens 3 erkennbar (Schnitt A-A aus Fig. 1). Indem an einem mittleren Bereich der Decke des Wagenkastens 3 keine Platz konsumierenden Querschnitte vorhanden sind weist ein in Querrichtung 60 mittlerer Bereich des zweiten und/oder dritten Passagierbereichs 20/30 im Querschnitt zweite/dritte, TSI-entsprechende Mindestabmessungen 27/37 auf. D.h., ein in Querrichtung 60 mittlerer Bereich der Decke des Wagenkastens 3 ist so dünn wie möglich gestaltet, beispielsweise weist dieser ausschließlich tragende Strukturen zum Aufnehmen der Fahrzeuglasten, Isolierungs-, Verkleidungselemente, gegebenenfalls Beleuchtungselemente und möglicherweise dünne Kabel auf. Weiterhin kann Bauraum 29 im Wesentlichen direkt vertikal über den Sitzvorrichtungen 25 vorgesehen sein.Furthermore, Fig.5 the special and efficient use of the cross-section of the two-story carriage section 5 of the carriage body 3 can be seen (section AA from Fig.1 ). As there are no space-consuming cross-sections in a central region of the ceiling of the car body 3, a central region of the second and/or third passenger area 20/30 in the transverse direction 60 has second/third, TSI-compliant minimum dimensions 27/37 in cross-section. This means that a central region of the ceiling of the car body 3 in the transverse direction 60 is designed to be as thin as possible, for example it only has load-bearing structures for taking up the vehicle loads, insulation and cladding elements, possibly lighting elements and possibly thin cables. Furthermore, installation space 29 can be provided essentially directly vertically above the seating devices 25.

Fig. 6 beschreibt den Aufbau des doppelstöckigen Wagenabschnitts 5 des Wagenkastens 3 gemäß der Schnittlinie B-B aus Fig. 1. In der Unteretage 6 ist der erste Passagierbereich 10 aufweisend einen ersten Passagierboden 11 mit darauf angeordneten, als Quersitze 16 ausgebildete Sitzvorrichtungen angesiedelt. Der erste Passagierboden 11 liegt niedriger als der Einstiegsboden 31, wobei zwischen beiden Böden ein erster Vertikalabstand 13 in Vertikalrichtung 62 vorhanden ist, welcher beispielsweise 123 oder 147 mm beträgt (siehe Fig. 5 und Fig. 6). Dieser erster Vertikalabstand 13 kann beispielsweise durch eine Rampe 12 überwunden werden (siehe Fig. 4), wobei die Rampe 12 gemäß einem ersten Winkel 14 gegenüber einer Horizontalen 61 geneigt ist, und der erste Winkel 14 insbesondere weniger als 10°, insbesondere weniger als 8,5° geneigt ist. Fig.6 describes the structure of the double-decker carriage section 5 of the carriage body 3 according to the section line BB from Fig.1 . The first passenger area 10 is located in the lower level 6 and has a first passenger floor 11 with seating devices arranged thereon in the form of transverse seats 16. The first passenger floor 11 is lower than the entry floor 31, with a first vertical distance 13 in the vertical direction 62 being present between the two floors, which is, for example, 123 or 147 mm (see Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 ). This first vertical distance 13 can be overcome, for example, by a ramp 12 (see Fig.4 ), wherein the ramp 12 is inclined at a first angle 14 with respect to a horizontal 61, and the first angle 14 is in particular inclined at less than 10°, in particular less than 8.5°.

Im Bereich einer Decke des ersten Passagierbereichs 10 können Vorrichtungen 18 zur Gepäckablage angeordnet sein.Devices 18 for storing luggage can be arranged in the area of a ceiling of the first passenger area 10.

Weiterhin ist ein vierter Passagierboden 41 des vierten Passagierbereichs 40 in Vertikalrichtung 62 mit einem zweiten Vertikalabstand 23 von einem Dritten Passagierboden 31 des dritten Passagierbereichs 30 beabstandet, wobei dieser zweite Vertikalabstand 23 insbesondere 107 mm betragen kann (siehe Fig. 5 und Fig. 6). Der vierte Passagierboden 41 liegt auf einem niedrigeren Höhenniveau als der zweite Passagierboden 21 des zweiten Passagierbereichs 20 und/oder der dritte Passagierboden 31 des dritten Passagierbereichs 30.Furthermore, a fourth passenger floor 41 of the fourth passenger area 40 is spaced apart in the vertical direction 62 by a second vertical distance 23 from a third passenger floor 31 of the third passenger area 30, wherein this second vertical distance 23 can be in particular 107 mm (see Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 ). The fourth passenger floor 41 is at a lower height than the second Passenger floor 21 of the second passenger area 20 and/or the third passenger floor 31 of the third passenger area 30.

Zwischen diesen Passagierbereichen sind folglich Rampen 22 vorgesehen, sodass der beschriebene Höhenunterschied stufenlos überwunden werden kann. Vorzugsweise ist/sind die zweite und/oder dritte Rampe 22 gegenüber der Horizontalen 61 mit einem zweiten Winkel 24 von weniger als 10°, bevorzugt weniger als 7° geneigt.Ramps 22 are therefore provided between these passenger areas so that the height difference described can be overcome steplessly. Preferably, the second and/or third ramp 22 is/are inclined relative to the horizontal 61 at a second angle 24 of less than 10°, preferably less than 7°.

In kontextueller Anlehnung an das Voranstehende - jedoch ohne zwingende Übernahme der Details der beschriebenen Ausgestaltungen - wird festgehalten, dass somit der Einstiegsboden 51 und der zweite bzw. dritte Passagierboden 20 bzw. 30 jeweils in Vertikalrichtung 62 über dem ersten Passagierboden 11 und dem vierten Passagierboden 41 liegen.In contextual reference to the above - but without necessarily adopting the details of the described embodiments - it is noted that the entry floor 51 and the second and third passenger floors 20 and 30 are each located in the vertical direction 62 above the first passenger floor 11 and the fourth passenger floor 41.

Insbesondere ist anhand Fig. 1 zu erkennen, dass die Gesamtheit der Böden in Längsrichtung 59, d.h. die Einstiegsböden 51 mit dem ersten Passagierboden 11, und weiter der dritte und vierte Passagierboden 21 und 31 mit dem vierten Passagierboden 41 eine schwach ausgeprägte U- oder V-Form aufweisen, und der erste Passagierbereich 10 bzw. der vierte Passagierbereich 40 gegenüber den Einstiegsböden 51 bzw. dem zweiten und dritten Passagierboden 21 und 31 abgesenkt sind.In particular, Fig.1 It can be seen that the entirety of the floors in the longitudinal direction 59, ie the entry floors 51 with the first passenger floor 11, and further the third and fourth passenger floors 21 and 31 with the fourth passenger floor 41, have a slightly pronounced U- or V-shape, and the first passenger area 10 and the fourth passenger area 40 are lowered compared to the entry floors 51 and the second and third passenger floors 21 and 31.

Weiterhin ist in Fig. 6 und Fig. 3 zu erkennen, dass der vierte Passagierbereich 40 Quersitze 43 aufweist, und an einer Unterseite der Decke des Wagenkastens 3 Bauraum 44 für Versorgungsleitungen, Klimaschächte oder sonstigen Komponente vorgesehen ist. Aufgrund der Anordnung des Bauraums 44 können im vierten Passagierbereich 40 Gepäcksablagen 48 über den Quersitze 43 angeordnet sein.Furthermore, in Fig.6 and Fig.3 It can be seen that the fourth passenger area 40 has transverse seats 43, and that on the underside of the ceiling of the car body 3 there is space 44 for supply lines, air conditioning shafts or other components. Due to the arrangement of the space 44, luggage racks 48 can be arranged above the transverse seats 43 in the fourth passenger area 40.

Weiterhin ist der vierte Passagierbereich 40 und der vierte Passagierboden 41 derart ausgebildet das, ein Gangbereich zwischen den Quersitzen 43 vierte, TSIentsprechenden Mindestabmessungen 47 aufweist.Furthermore, the fourth passenger area 40 and the fourth passenger floor 41 are designed such that an aisle area between the transverse seats 43 has fourth minimum dimensions 47 corresponding to the TSI.
