Abstract

Incoming and outgoing railway lines (V1,V2) are connected to sidings with lorry loading access on one side (E1,E2,E3) and lorry unloading access (D1,D2,D3) on the other side. The station is immediately adjacent to a motorway toll and has direct lorry access. The railway trucks have pivoting platforms with rollers which engage rails in the lorry access ground. The train driver positions the train using a visual or electrical system.

Description

La présente invention consiste à réaliser, en bordure des réseaux d'autoroutes, un chemin de fer parallèle à celles-ci permettant de transporter par trains la majorité des camions ciculant sur ces autoroutes .The present invention consists in making, at the edge of motorway networks, a railroad parallel to these allowing to transport by train the majority of trucks ciciculating on these highways.

Les camions empruntant un transport par rail sont actuellement embarqués dans les gares existantes et véhiculés par trains sur les voies également utilisées pour le transport des voyageurs et à des moments ou les trains de voyageurs n'encombrent pas le réseau . Ce dernier a été conçu pour desservir les villes ,( petites ,moyennes ou grandes ) en transport de voyageurs . Les gares sont , pour beaucoup d'entr'elles, situées à proximité de ces villes , ou souvent même, en pleine agglomération .Trucks using rail transport are currently on board existing stations and transported by trains on the tracks also used for transport of passengers and at times when passenger trains do not clog the network. The latter was designed to serve cities, (small, medium or large) in passenger transport. The stations are, for many of them, located nearby of these cities, or often even, in full agglomeration.

Ce système de transport de camions présente donc plusieurs inconvénients qui le rendent peu attractif pour les compagnies de transport routier :

  • embarquement et débarquement dans des gares généralement situées en agglomération , ce qui rend leur accès peu facile .
  • les gares actuelles manquent souvent d'espace pour un flux important de véhicules lourds et encombrants .
  • les quais ne sont pas adaptés .
  • les traversées des villes entrainent des ralentissements importants des trains . _l,infrastructure ( ponts ... ) est difficile à adapter .
  • les rayons de courbure des voies souvent trop petits compte tenu de l'environnement , entraínent des réductions de vitesse importantes .
  • l'embarquement et le débarquement des camions sur les wagons sont souvent des opérations longues parce que ceux-ci ne sont pas forcément adaptés compte tenu des impératifs du réseau .
  • les trains transporteurs de véhicules ne peuvent circuler qu'à certains horaires dépendant des horaires des trains de voyageurs qui ont la priorité .
This truck transport system therefore has several drawbacks which make it unattractive for road transport companies:
  • boarding and disembarking in stations generally located in built-up areas, which makes access difficult.
  • current stations often lack space for a large flow of heavy and bulky vehicles.
  • the platforms are not suitable.
  • city crossings cause significant train slowdowns. _l, infrastructure (bridges ...) is difficult to adapt.
  • the radii of curvature of the tracks, which are often too small taking into account the environment, lead to significant speed reductions.
  • loading and unloading trucks on wagons is often a long operation because they are not necessarily adapted to the requirements of the network.
  • vehicle transport trains can only run at certain times depending on the priority passenger train timetables.

La présente invention consiste à définir un nouveau réseau( chemin de fer et gares ) de transport de poids lourds par rails , ceux-ci étant implantés en bordure des autoroutes . Les gares seront situées aux points terminaux des grands axes autoroutiers c'est-à-dire à proximité des péages d'autoroutes proches des grandes agglomérations ( exemples : Paris Lille Lyon ,Marseille ...). Leur accès sera donc aussi facile que celui des péages . Les trains de camions partiront et arriveront à une fréquence régulière ce qui permettra aux chauffeurs d'établir leur plan de route de façon plus précise .The present invention consists in defining a new network (railway and stations) of transport of heavy goods vehicles by rails, these being located along motorways. The stations will be located at the end points of the major motorways, i.e. proximity to highway tolls near major cities (examples: Paris Lille Lyon, Marseille ...). Their access will therefore be as easy as that of tolls. The truck trains will depart and arrive at a regular frequency which will allow drivers to plan their route more precisely.

Durant le convoyage par train , les chauffeurs regroupés dans un wagon spécialement conçu mais non défini dans le cadre de cette invention, pourront se reposer, s'alimenter, communiquer avec leur entreprise ou leur destinataire . Aussitôt débarqués du train les camions se trouveront à proximité immédiate d'une autoroute ou d'une voie rapide . Les inconvénients du système actuel étant supprimés, le convoyage se fera plus rapidement , plus régulièrement, avec de nombreux autres avantages pour les chauffeurs et leurs entreprises .During the train conveyance, the drivers grouped in a specially wagon designed but not defined within the framework of this invention, will be able to rest, to eat, communicate with their company or recipient. As soon as they got off the train, trucks will be in the immediate vicinity of a motorway or expressway. The disadvantages of the current system having been eliminated, conveying will be faster, more regularly, with many other benefits for drivers and their businesses.

Cette nouvelle invention tient compte , pour sa réalisation, de trains composés de wagons à plates-formes pivotantes permettant d'effectuer rapidement, l'embarquement, la fixation , et le débarquement de camions , définis dans le brevet d'invention "wagon à plate-forme pivotante permettant d'effectuer rapidement l'embarquement, la fixation , le débarquement d'un camion". This new invention takes into account, for its realization, trains composed of wagons with pivoting platforms allowing to quickly carry out, the embarkation, the fixing, and the disembarkation of trucks, defined in the invention patent " flat wagon -pivoting form allowing to quickly carry out the embarkation, the fixing, the unloading of a truck ".

Les trains effectueront un mouvement pendulaire entre deux gares terminales situées à proximité des péages terminaux d'autoroute, sans arret intermédiaire . The trains will make a pendulum movement between two terminal stations located near motorway terminal tolls, without intermediate stops.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention :The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

Figure 1 ( Figure de l'abrégé) Cette figure représente une gare terminale en bordure de l'autoroute et proche d'un péage. Elle permet de voir la disposition des quais d'embarquement E1 , E2, E3, et des quais de débarquement D1, D2, D3, ces derniers étant reliés par pont à l'autoroute ;ainsi que les bordures de guidage (3) des camions le long des quais . Figure 1 (Figure of the abstract) This figure represents a terminal station along the highway and close to a toll. It allows you to see the layout of the loading docks E1, E2, E3, and the loading docks D1, D2, D3, the latter being connected by bridge to the motorway; as well as the guiding edges (3) of the trucks along the quays.

Figure 3 : This figure shows a partial section AA of a platform showing the pivoting platform (2) in the loading or unloading position, as well as the rollers (5) resting on the raceway (6), sealed in the concrete .

Figure 4 : Elle met en évidence la forme circulaire des chemins de roulement (6) Figure 4 : It highlights the circular shape of the raceways (6)

Le réseau ferroviaire autoroutier sera composé de deux voies parallèles à circulation inversée d'un même coté de l'autoroute et en bordure de celle-ci . Les voies seront plus espacées que celles du réseau actuel afin d'éviter les risques de détérioration des bâches des camions lors du croisement des trains à pleine vitesse . Suivant l'importance du trafic le doublement de ces voies pourra être envisagé en les construisant de part et d'autre de l'autoroute ainsi que leurs gares terminales.The motorway rail network will consist of two parallel traffic tracks reversed on the same side of the highway and on the edge of it. The tracks will be more spaced than those of the current network in order to avoid the risks of deterioration of the tarpaulins trucks when crossing trains at full speed. According to the importance of traffic the doubling of these tracks could be envisaged by building them on either side of the highway and their terminal stations.

Avant l'entrée du péage de l'autoroute les camionneurs qui désirent emprunter le rail seront dirigés vers la gare d'embarquement . Chaque gare terminale comportera au minimum trois quais. L'un des quais sera occupé par le train en instance de départ, l'embarquement étant terminé , l'autre par le train en phase de débarquement et d'embarquement , le troisième étant vide pour recevoir le train sur le point d'entrer en gare .Before the entrance to the highway toll truckers wishing to take the rail will be directed to the boarding station. Each terminal station will include minimum three docks. One of the platforms will be occupied by the train awaiting departure, boarding being completed, the other by the train in the landing phase and boarding, the third being empty to receive the train about to enter station.

En cas de trafic intense, à des fréquences courtes, le nombre de quais pourra être augmenté afin de disposer d'un temps suffisant pour le chargement et le déchargement des trains .In case of heavy traffic, at short frequencies, the number of platforms may be increased in order to have sufficient time for loading and unloading trains .

Dans les gares les quais latéraux seront relativement proches des wagons ( quelques centimètres de part et d'autre) et comporteront des décrochements d'une vingtaine de centimètres de hauteur pour recevoir la plate-forme pivotante de chaque wagon ( voir la figure 3 ) . Ces décrochements dans les quais permettront d'avoir la partie supérieure de la plate-forme au même niveau que le quai , ce qui évitera les chocs des roues sur la plate-forme au moment du chargement .In stations the side platforms will be relatively close to the wagons (some centimeters on either side) and will include recesses of around twenty centimeters in height to receive the swivel platform of each wagon (see the figure 3). These recesses in the quays will allow the upper part of the platform at the same level as the platform, which will prevent wheel impacts on the platform at the time of loading.

Pour un meilleur fonctionnement ,les galets de la plate-forme pivotante rouleront sur des chemins en acier scellés dans le béton . Ces chemins auront une forme circulaire ( voir la figure 4 )For better functioning, the rollers of the swivel platform will roll on steel paths sealed in concrete. These paths will have a circular shape ( see figure 4)

Un système de positionnement relativement précis des wagons ( 20 centimètres environ ) permettra au conducteur du train de vérifier le positionnement correct des différents wagons . Ce système pourra être électrique ou par simples repères visuels .A relatively precise wagon positioning system (20 centimeters approximately) will allow the train driver to check the correct positioning of the different wagons. This system can be electric or by simple visual cues.

Les quais d'embarquement E1 , E2 , E3 , seront aménagés avec des bordures de guidage des camions ( 3 )sur une longueur de 20 à 25 mètres de façon à ce que le camion en attente d'embarquement se présente en ligne droite devant la plate-forme pivotante du wagon . Ces bordures seront en relief et peintes .Boarding docks E1, E2, E3, will be fitted with curbs of guiding the trucks (3) over a length of 20 to 25 meters so that the truck awaiting boarding is in a straight line in front of the pivoting platform of the wagon. These borders will be in relief and painted.

Les quais de débarquement D1 , D2 , D3 , comme les quais d'embarquement ,seront aménagés avec le même type de bordures de guidage de façon à contraindre le camion à sortir en ligne droite sur toute sa longueur avant d'amorcer un virage vers les voies de sortie ( voir la figure 1 ) Si pour une raison quelconque le chauffeur du camion avait besoin de s'arreter quelques minutes avant de prendre la route , c'est sur cette voie droite à la sortie immédiate dela plate-forme qu'il devra le faire pour ne pas gêner les autres camions ni le mouvement de la plate-forme . The landing docks D1, D2, D3, like the loading docks, will be fitted with the same type of guide edges so as to constrain the truck to exit in a straight line over its entire length before starting a turn towards the exit (see Figure 1) If for any reason the truck driver had need to stop a few minutes before hitting the road, it's on this straight lane at the immediate exit of the platform that he will have to do it so as not to annoy others trucks nor the movement of the platform.

Chaque quai d'embarquement ainsi que les emplacements des wagons seront repérés par des panneaux visibles jour et nuit . Des feux de signalisation vert et rouge seront disposés à l'entrée des quais E1, E2, E3 pour indiquer aux chauffeurs s'il reste ou non des emplacements disponibles. Quand tous les emplacements d'un quai d'embarquement seront occupés par des véhicules le feu rouge indiquera au chauffeur arrivant qu'il doit se dirigé vers le deuxième ou le troisième quai. A l'entrée des quais ,des panneaux lumineux indiqueront les emplacements disponibles .Each boarding platform and the locations of the wagons will be identified by panels visible day and night. Green and red traffic lights will be arranged at the entrance to platforms E1, E2, E3 to indicate to drivers whether or not they remain available locations. When all the locations of a boarding platform will be occupied by vehicles the red light will indicate to the arriving driver that he must directed to the second or third platform. Signs at the entrance to the quays will indicate the available locations.

Les voies de sortie des différents quais de débarquement se rejoindront au moyen de ponts ou de souterrains pour guider les véhicules vers les autoroutes ou les voies rapides les plus proches ( voir la figure 1 ).The exit routes from the various landing docks will be joined by means of bridges or underground passages to guide vehicles to motorways or expressways closest (see Figure 1).
