Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Schienenfahrzeug mit einem Wagenkasten, der auf einer ersten Radeinheit und einer in Längsrichtung des Wagenkastens beabstandeten zweiten Radeinheit abgestützt ist, und einer elektrischen Antriebseinrichtung, welche die erste Radeinheit und die zweite Radeinheit antreibt, wobei die Antriebseinrichtung wenigstens eine erste Transformatoreinheit und eine zugeordnete erste Stromrichtereinheit umfasst, die in dem Wagenkasten angeordnet sind.The present invention relates to a rail vehicle having a car body supported on a first wheel unit and a second wheel unit spaced in the longitudinal direction of the car body and an electric drive device driving the first wheel unit and the second wheel unit, the drive means comprising at least a first transformer unit and an associated first power converter unit, which are arranged in the car body.

Bei herkömmlichen derartigen Schienenfahrzeugen ist das bekannt, die beiden Radeinheiten (Radsätze, Radpaare bzw. Drehgestelle) über eine Antriebseinrichtung anzutreiben, während Komponenten verteilt im bzw. am Wagenkasten angeordnet sind. So ist beispielsweise bei Schienenfahrzeugen der Baureihe BR 445 der Deutsche Bahn AG ein gemeinsamer Transformator für beide Triebdrehgestelle am hinteren Wagenende mittig angeordnet. Ähnliche Gestaltungen mit zentralem Transformator für mehrere Radeinheiten sind aus der WO 2004/035366 A2 und dem Artikel Sato Y: "Hochgeschwindigkeitstriebzüge Serie E4 der East Japan Railway Company" (Elektrische Bahnen, Oldenbourg Industrieverlag, München, DE, Bd. 96, Nr. 6, Juni 1998, Seiten 173-178 ), bekannt. Weiterhin ist bei den Doppelstocktriebzügen des Typs "Desiro" der Fa. Siemens (Baureihe RABe 514 der SBB) eine Anordnung mit zwei Transformatoren an einem Wagenende und einer Anordnung zweier Stromrichter am anderen Wagenende vorgesehen. Schließlich ist bei den Fahrzeugen TER2W NG (Typ "Coradia" Duplex der Fa. Alstom SA, FR), eine Anordnung mit ein oder zwei Transformatoren an einem Wagenende und einem Stromrichtermodul im Dachraum am anderen Wagenende vorgesehen. Eine ähnliche Gestaltung ist auch aus der EP 1 024 070 A1 bekannt.In conventional rail vehicles, it is known to drive the two wheel units (wheel sets, wheel pairs or bogies) via a drive device, while components are distributed in or on the car body. For example, in rail vehicles of the BR 445 series of Deutsche Bahn AG, a common transformer for both motor bogies is arranged centrally at the rear end of the car. Similar designs with central transformer for several wheel units are from the WO 2004/035366 A2 and the article Sato Y: "High speed E4 trains of the East Japan Railway Company" (Electric Railways, Oldenbourg Industrieverlag, Munich, DE, Vol. 96, No. 6, June 1998, pages 173-178 ), known. Furthermore, in the double-decker trains of the "Desiro" type from Siemens (series RABe 514 of the SBB), an arrangement with two transformers at one end of the wagon and an arrangement of two power converters at the other end of the wagon is provided. Finally, the vehicles TER2W NG (type "Coradia" Duplex from. Alstom SA, FR), an arrangement with one or two transformers at one end of the car and a power converter module in the roof space at the other end of the car is provided. A similar design is also from the EP 1 024 070 A1 known.

Nachteilig ist bei den allen diesen bekannten Fahrzeugen, dass ein vergleichsweise großer Aufwand für Verkabelung, also die elektrische Verbindung, zwischen den Transformatoren und den Stromrichtern sowie zwischen den Stromrichtern und den die Radeinheiten antreibenden Fahrmotoren erforderlich ist.A disadvantage of the all these known vehicles that a comparatively large effort for wiring, so the electrical connection between the transformers and the power converters and between the power converters and the wheel units driving traction motors is required.

Zudem ergibt sich zum Teil eine ungünstige Massenverteilung im Fahrzeug, welche gegebenenfalls durch eine entsprechende Trimmung des Fahrzeugs über zusätzlichen Ballast ausgeglichen werden muss. Hierdurch wird das Fahrzeug zum einen schwerer und teurer, zum anderen wird unter Umständen auch seine Transportkapazität eingeschränkt.In addition, there is sometimes an unfavorable mass distribution in the vehicle, which may be due to a corresponding trim of the vehicle on additional Ballast must be balanced. This makes the vehicle heavier and more expensive, on the other hand, under certain circumstances, its transport capacity is limited.

Insbesondere bei Doppelstock-Fahrzeugen mit der Anordnung von Komponenten der Antriebseinrichtung im Dachbereich ergibt sich zudem eine Verringerung der Sitzplatzkapazität infolge eines durch die Komponenten im Dachbereich bedingten ungünstigeren Treppenkonzepts.In particular, in double-deck vehicles with the arrangement of components of the drive device in the roof area also results in a reduction in seating capacity due to a caused by the components in the roof area unfavorable staircase concept.

Schließlich ergibt sich bei Fahrzeugen mit in Querrichtung des Fahrzeugs mittig angeordneten Transformatoren (siehe beispielsweise die oben genannte Baureihe BR 445) ein eingeschränkter Fahrgastfluss und Fahrgastkomfort.Finally, in vehicles with transformers arranged centrally in the transverse direction of the vehicle (see, for example, the aforementioned series BR 445), there is a restricted flow of passengers and passenger comfort.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Schienenfahrzeug der eingangs genannten Art zur Verfügung zu stellen, welches die oben genannten Nachteile nicht oder zumindest in deutlich geringerem Maße aufweist und insbesondere bei einfacher und kostengünstiger Herstellbarkeit eine hohe Transportkapazität und hohen Passagierkomfort ermöglicht.The present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a rail vehicle of the type mentioned, which does not have the abovementioned disadvantages or at least to a much lesser extent and in particular allows for simple and cost-effective manufacturability high transport capacity and high passenger comfort.

Die vorliegende Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe ausgehend von einem Schienenfahrzeug gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale.The present invention solves this problem starting from a rail vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 by the features stated in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die technische Lehre zu Grunde, dass man bei einfacher und kostengünstiger Herstellbarkeit eine hohe Transportkapazität rund hohen Passagierkomfort des Schienenfahrzeugs erzielt, wenn die erste Transformatoreinheit und die erste Stromrichtereinheit der ersten Radeinheit funktional und räumlich zugeordnet sind, indem sie im Bereich der ersten Radeinheit angeordnet sind und diese antreiben, und die Antriebseinrichtung eine zweite Transformatoreinheit und eine zugeordnete zweite Stromrichtereinheit umfasst, die der zweiten Radeinheit funktional und räumlich zugeordnet sind, indem sie im Bereich der zweiten Radeinheit angeordnet sind und diese antreiben.The present invention is based on the technical teaching that, with simple and cost-effective manufacturability, a high transport capacity achieves high passenger comfort of the rail vehicle when the first transformer unit and the first power converter unit are functionally and spatially assigned to the first wheel unit, by being in the range of the first Wheel unit are arranged and drive, and the drive means comprises a second transformer unit and an associated second power converter unit, which are the second wheel unit functionally and spatially associated by being arranged in the region of the second wheel unit and driving them.

Durch die funktionale und räumliche Zuordnung der jeweiligen Transformatoreinheit und der zugehörigen Stromrichtereinheit zur betreffenden anzutreibenden Radeinheit kann zum einen eine besonders einfache und kostengünstige elektrische Verbindung der einander zugeordneten Komponenten mit kurzen Leitungswegen, insbesondere der Hochleistungsleitungen, realisiert werden. Zudem kann durch die paarweise räumliche Zuordnung der Transformatoreinheiten und der Stromrichtereinheiten zu den anzutreibenden Radeinheiten eine günstige, ausgeglichene Massenverteilung im Fahrzeug erzielt werden, ohne dass zusätzlicher Ballast für eine Trimmung erforderlich wäre. Die Transformatoreinheit und die zugehörige Stromrichtereinheit können weiterhin problemlos und so angeordnet werden, dass sie die Transportkapazität, den Fahrgastkomfort und insbesondere den Fahrgastfluss vergleichsweise wenig beeinträchtigen.Due to the functional and spatial assignment of the respective transformer unit and the associated power converter unit to the relevant wheel unit to be driven on the one hand, a particularly simple and cost-effective electrical connection of the associated components with short cable routes, in particular the high-performance lines can be realized. In addition, by the pairwise spatial assignment of the transformer units and the converter units to the to be driven wheel units a favorable, balanced mass distribution in the vehicle can be achieved without additional ballast would be required for a trim. The transformer unit and the associated power converter unit can continue to be easily arranged and arranged so that they affect the transport capacity, the passenger comfort and in particular the passenger flow comparatively little.

Die Transformatoreinheiten und die jeweils zugeordnete Stromrichtereinheit können grundsätzlich in beliebiger geeigneter Weise im Wagenkasten angeordnet sein. Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass der Wagenkasten eine erste Längsseite und eine zweite Längsseite aufweist, und die erste Transformatoreinheit im Bereich der ersten Längsseite des Wagenkastens und die erste Stromrichtereinheit im Bereich der zweite Längsseite des Wagenkastens angeordnet ist, während die zweite Transformatoreinheit im Bereich der zweiten Längsseite des Wagenkastens und die zweite Stromrichtereinheit im Bereich der ersten Längsseite des Wagenkastens angeordnet ist. Durch diese diagonal gegenüberliegende bzw. kreuzweise Anordnung der Transformatoreinheiten und der Stromrichtereinheiten lässt sich auf besonders einfache Weise eine günstige gleichmäßige Massenverteilung im Fahrzeug erzielen.The transformer units and the respective associated power converter unit can in principle be arranged in any suitable manner in the car body. It is preferably provided that the car body has a first longitudinal side and a second longitudinal side, and the first transformer unit in the region of the first longitudinal side of the car body and the first power converter unit in the region of the second longitudinal side of the car body is arranged, while the second transformer unit in the region of the second longitudinal side of the car body and the second power converter unit is arranged in the region of the first longitudinal side of the car body. By this diagonally opposite or crosswise arrangement of the transformer units and the converter units can be achieved in a particularly simple manner, a favorable uniform mass distribution in the vehicle.

Vorzugsweise sind wenigstens eine der Transformatoreinheiten und die ihr zugeordnete Stromrichtereinheit in getrennten Räumen des Wagenkastens angeordnet, wodurch eine größere Gestaltungsfreiheit für den Innenausbau des Wagenkastens, insbesondere die Anordnung von Gängen, Treppen, Rampen, Sitzplätzen etc. erzielt wird. Hierdurch ist es möglich, eine Erhöhung des Fahrgastkomforts und eine Verbesserung des Fahrgastflusses im Fahrzeug zu erzielen.Preferably, at least one of the transformer units and their associated power converter unit are arranged in separate spaces of the car body, whereby a greater freedom of design for the interior of the car body, in particular the arrangement of aisles, stairs, ramps, seats, etc. is achieved. This makes it possible to achieve an increase in passenger comfort and an improvement in passenger flow in the vehicle.

Bevorzugt sind der Stromrichtereinheit weitere Zusatzausrüstungen, insbesondere elektrische Zusatzausrüstungen, räumlich zugeordnet, wobei die weiteren Zusatzausrüstungen vorzugsweise in dem Raum der Stromrichtereinheit angeordnet sind. Hierdurch lässt sich eine besonders vorteilhafte Massenverteilung im Fahrzeug erzielen. So weist die Stromrichtereinheit in der Regel eine geringere Masse auf als die Transformatoreinheit. Diese Differenz kann durch die Zusatzausrüstungen zumindest weit gehend ausgeglichen werden.Preferably, the power converter unit further auxiliary equipment, in particular electrical auxiliary equipment, spatially associated with the other additional equipment are preferably arranged in the space of the power converter unit. This makes it possible to achieve a particularly advantageous mass distribution in the vehicle. Thus, the power converter unit usually has a lower mass than the transformer unit. This difference can be at least largely compensated by the additional equipment.

Die Transformatoreinheiten und die ihnen zugeordneten Stromrichtereinheiten können grundsätzlich an beliebiger geeigneter Stelle im Bereich der jeweils zugeordneten anzutreibenden Radeinheit angeordnet werden. Bevorzugt sind wenigstens eine der Transformatoreinheiten und die ihr zugeordnete Stromrichtereinheit in einem Endbereich des Wagenkastens angeordnet. Dies ist insbesondere bei Doppelstock-Fahrzeugen von Vorteil, da hiermit eine günstige Anordnung der Zugänge zu den beiden Stockwerken möglich ist.The transformer units and their associated power converter units can in principle be arranged at any suitable location in the region of the respective associated wheel unit to be driven. At least one of the transformer units and the power converter unit assigned to it are preferably in one end area arranged the car body. This is particularly advantageous in double-decker vehicles, since this is a favorable arrangement of access to the two floors is possible.

Ein besonders guter Fahrgästfluss ergibt sich, wenn wenigstens eine der Transformatoreinheiten und die ihr zugeordnete Stromrichtereinheit durch einen für Passagiere vorgesehenen Durchgang des Wagenkastens getrennt sind. Insbesondere bei Doppelstock-Fahrzeugen ergeben sich mit dieser Anordnung nur sehr geringe Einschränkungen für die Anordnung der Zugänge zum Fahrgastbereich des Wagenkastens.A particularly good passenger flow results when at least one of the transformer units and the converter unit associated therewith are separated by a passage of the car body intended for passengers. In particular, in double-deck vehicles arise with this arrangement only very small restrictions on the arrangement of the entrances to the passenger compartment of the car body.

Die vorliegende Erfindung lässt sich zum Zusammenhang mit beliebigen Wagenkastentypen einsetzen. Besonders vorteilhaft ist sie wie erwähnt, wenn der Wagenkasten als Doppelstock-Wagenkasten ausgebildet ist.The present invention can be used to relate to any type of car body. It is particularly advantageous, as mentioned, when the car body is designed as a double-decker car body.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen schematische Darstellungen eines erfindungsgemäßen Schienenfahrzeugs 101. Das Schienenfahrzeug 101 umfasst einen Doppelstock-Wagenkasten 102, der im Bereich seiner beiden Enden auf zwei Radeinheiten in Form von Triebdrehgestellen 103.1 und 103.2 abgestützt ist.The Figures 1 and 2 show schematic representations of a rail vehicle according to the invention 101. The rail vehicle 101 comprises a double-decker car body 102 which is supported in the region of its two ends on two wheel units in the form of motor bogies 103.1 and 103.2.

Die Triebradsätze der Drehgestelle 103.1 und 103.2 werden über eine elektrische Antriebseinrichtung 104 angetrieben. Die Antriebseinrichtung 104 umfasst hierzu neben den in den Figuren aus Gründen der besseren Übersichtlichkeit nicht dargestellten - Fahrmotoren der Drehgestelle 103.1 und 103.2 eine erste Transformatoreinheit 105.1 und eine zugeordnete erste Stromrichtereinheit 106.1, die dem ersten Drehgestell 103.1 räumlich und funktional zugeordnet sind, mithin also die Fahrmotoren des ersten Drehgestells 103.1 mit Energie versorgen.The drive wheelsets of the bogies 103.1 and 103.2 are driven by an electric drive device 104. For this purpose, the drive device 104 comprises not only the traction motors of the bogies 103.1 and 103.2 in the figures, but also a first transformer unit 105.1 and an associated first power converter unit 106.1 spatially and functionally associated with the first bogie 103.1, that is to say the traction motors supply the first bogie 103.1 with energy.

Die erste Transformatoreinheit 105.1 und die ihr zugeordnete erste Stromrichtereinheit 106.1 sind an einem Ende des Wagenkastens 102 in zwei separaten Schränken 102.1 und 102.2 des Wagenkastens 102 untergebracht. Die beiden Schränke 102.1 und 102.2 sind dabei durch einen Mittelgang 107.1 getrennt, über welchen den Fahrzeugpassagieren gegebenenfalls der Übergang in einen benachbarten Wagen im Fahrzeugverbund möglich ist.The first transformer unit 105.1 and its associated first power converter unit 106.1 are accommodated at one end of the car body 102 in two separate cabinets 102.1 and 102.2 of the car body 102. The two cabinets 102.1 and 102.2 are separated by a central aisle 107.1, via which the vehicle passengers, if necessary, the transition to an adjacent car in the vehicle network is possible.

Die beiden Schränke 102.1 und 102.2 weisen annähernd dieselbe Größe auf. Da die erste Stromrichtereinheit 106.1 weniger Bauraum beansprucht als die erste Transformatoreinheit 105.1, sind in dem Schrank 102.2 weitere Zusatzausrüstungen 104.1 angeordnet.The two cabinets 102.1 and 102.2 have approximately the same size. Since the first power converter unit 106.1 takes up less installation space than the first transformer unit 105.1, further auxiliary equipment 104.1 is arranged in the cabinet 102.2.

Die Antriebseinrichtung 104 umfasst weiterhin eine zweite Transformatoreinheit 105.2 und eine zugeordnete zweite Stromrichtereinheit 106.2, die dem zweiten Drehgestell 103.2 räumlich und funktional zugeordnet sind, mithin also die Fahrmotoren des zweiten Drehgestells 103.2 mit Energie versorgen.The drive device 104 further comprises a second transformer unit 105.2 and an associated second power converter unit 106.2, which are spatially and functionally associated with the second bogie 103.2, thus supplying the traction motors of the second bogie 103.2 with energy.

Die zweite Transformatoreinheit 105.2 und die ihr zugeordnete zweite Stromrichtereinheit 106.2 sind an dem anderen Ende des Wagenkastens 102 ebenfalls in zwei separaten Schränke 102.3 und 102.4 des Wagenkastens 102 untergebracht. Die beiden Schränke 102.3 und 102.4 sind dabei ebenfalls durch einen Mittelgang 107.2 getrennt, über welchen den Fahrzeugpassagieren gegebenenfalls der Übergang in einen benachbarten Wagen im Fahrzeugverbund möglich ist.The second transformer unit 105.2 and its associated second power converter unit 106.2 are also accommodated at the other end of the car body 102 in two separate cabinets 102.3 and 102.4 of the car body 102. The two cabinets 102.3 and 102.4 are also separated by a central aisle 107.2, via which the vehicle passengers, if necessary, the transition to an adjacent car in the vehicle network is possible.

Die beiden Schränke 102.3 und 102.4 weisen ebenfalls annähernd dieselbe Größe auf, sodass in dem Schrank 102.4 der zweiten Stromrichtereinheit 106.2 weitere Zusatzausrüstungen 104.2 angeordnet sein können.The two cabinets 102.3 and 102.4 likewise have approximately the same size, so that further auxiliary equipment 104.2 can be arranged in the cabinet 102.4 of the second converter unit 106.2.

Durch die funktionale und räumliche Zuordnung der jeweiligen Transformatoreinheit 105.1 bzw. 105.2 und der zugehörigen Stromrichtereinheit 106.1 bzw. 106.2 zur betreffenden anzutreibenden Radeinheit 103.1 bzw. 103.2 kann zum einen eine besonders einfache und kostengünstige elektrische Verbindung der einander zugeordneten Komponenten 105.1 und 106.1 bzw. 105.2 und 106.2 mit kurzen Leitungswegen erzielt werden.By the functional and spatial allocation of the respective transformer unit 105.1 or 105.2 and the associated power converter unit 106.1 or 106.2 to be driven wheel unit 103.1 or 103.2 can be on the one hand a particularly simple and inexpensive electrical connection of the associated components 105.1 and 106.1 or 105.2 and 106.2 be achieved with short lines.

Zudem wird durch die paarweise räumliche Zuordnung der Transformatoreinheiten 105.1 bzw. 105.2 und der Stromrichtereinheiten 106.1 bzw. 106.2 zu den anzutreibenden Radeinheiten 103.1 bzw. 103.2 eine günstige, ausgeglichene Massenverteilung im Fahrzeug erzielt, ohne dass zusätzlicher Ballast für eine Trimmung erforderlich wäre. Die Unterbringung der Transformatoreinheiten 105.1, 105.2 und der Stromrichtereinheiten 106.1, 106.2 in den seitlichen Schränken 102.1 bis 102.4 ist Platz sparend und ermöglicht eine vergleichsweise hohe Flexibilität bei der Gestaltung des Passagierraums 102.5 des Wagenkastens 102. Insbesondere wird eine größere Gestaltungsfreiheit für den Innenausbau des Wagenkastens, insbesondere die Anordnung der Treppen 108.1, 108.2 zu den beiden Stockwerken, erzielt. Die Transportkapazität, der Fahrgastkomfort und insbesondere der Fahrgastfluss werden hierdurch vergleichsweise wenig beeinträchtigt.In addition, by the pairwise spatial assignment of the transformer units 105.1 and 105.2 and the converter units 106.1 and 106.2 to be driven wheel units 103.1 and 103.2 a favorable, balanced mass distribution in the vehicle achieved without additional ballast for a trim would be required. The accommodation of the transformer units 105.1, 105.2 and the power converter units 106.1, 106.2 in the side cabinets 102.1 to 102.4 is space-saving and allows a relatively high flexibility in the design of the passenger compartment 102.5 of the car body 102. In particular, a greater freedom of design for the interior of the car body, in particular, the arrangement of the stairs 108.1, 108.2 to the two floors scored. The transport capacity, the passenger comfort and in particular the passenger flow are thereby relatively little affected.

Wie Figur 2 zu entnehmen ist, ist die erste Transformatoreinheit 105.1 im Bereich der ersten Längsseite 102.6 des Wagenkastens 102 und die erste Stromrichtereinheit 106.1 im Bereich der zweiten Längsseite 102.7 des Wagenkastens 102 angeordnet. Demgegenüber ist die zweite Transformatoreinheit 105.2 im Bereich der zweiten Längsseite 102.7 des Wagenkastens 102 und die zweite Stromrichtereinheit 106.2 im Bereich der ersten Längsseite 102.6 des Wagenkastens 102 angeordnet. Durch diese diagonal gegenüberliegende bzw. kreuzweise Anordnung der Transformatoreinheiten 105.1, 105.2 und der Stromrichtereinheiten 106.1, 106.2 wird sich auf besonders einfache Weise eine günstige gleichmäßige Massenverteilung im Fahrzeug 101 erzielen. So ergeben sich schon durch diese Anordnung ausgeglichene Momentenverhältnisse um die Längsachse und die Querachse des Wagenkastens 102.As FIG. 2 can be seen, the first transformer unit 105.1 in the region of the first longitudinal side 102.6 of the car body 102 and the first power converter unit 106.1 in the region of the second longitudinal side 102.7 of the car body 102 is arranged. In contrast, the second transformer unit 105.2 in the region of the second longitudinal side 102.7 of the car body 102 and the second power converter unit 106.2 in the region of the first longitudinal side 102.6 of the car body 102 is arranged. By means of this diagonally opposite or crosswise arrangement of the transformer units 105.1, 105.2 and the converter units 106.1, 106.2, a favorable uniform mass distribution in the vehicle 101 will be achieved in a particularly simple manner. For example, this arrangement results in balanced torque ratios around the longitudinal axis and the transverse axis of the car body 102.

Ein weiterer Momentenausgleich im Hinblick auf die Verwindung des Wagenkastens 102 wird über die Zusatzausrüstungen 104.1 und 104.2 erzielt, welche die Massendifferenz zwischen der leichteren Stromrichtereinheit 106.1 bzw. 106.2 und der schwereren Transformatoreinheit 105.1 bzw. 105.2 zumindest weit gehend ausgleichen kann.Another torque compensation with regard to the torsion of the car body 102 is achieved via the additional equipment 104.1 and 104.2, which can at least largely compensate for the mass difference between the lighter power converter unit 106.1 or 106.2 and the heavier transformer unit 105.1 or 105.2.

Die vorliegende Erfindung wurde vorstehend ausschließlich anhand eines Beispiels für ein Doppelstock-Fahrzeug beschrieben. Es versteht sich jedoch, dass die Erfindung auch in Verbindung mit einstöckigen Fahrzeugen zum Einsatz kommen kann. Weiterhin versteht es sich, dass die Erfindung unabhängig von der Art der Energiezufuhr zum Fahrzeug, also sowohl bei rein elektrisch betriebenen Fahrzeugen (Speisung über einen Fahrdraht oder dergleichen) oder bei Fahrzeugen mit einem kombinierten Antriebskonzept (beispielsweise einem dieselelektrischen Antrieb) zum Einsatz kommen kann.The present invention has been described above by way of example only for a double-decker vehicle. It is understood, however, that the invention may also be used in conjunction with single-deck vehicles. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the invention can be used independently of the type of energy supply to the vehicle, that is to say both in purely electrically operated vehicles (power supply via a contact wire or the like) or in vehicles with a combined drive concept (for example a diesel-electric drive).
