Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for transporting goods by rail, wherein freight cars are used with their own drive devices.
- the invention also relates to a device for transporting goods by rail, wagons having their own drive devices.
- a cargo mover houses a complete propulsion and control unit in a single car so that, like a truck on the road, it is a one-off individual vehicle.
- the cargo mover has the disadvantage that it must be suitable for long-distance travel. It must therefore include all required safety devices and can ⁇ chen also a sufficiently high velocity Errei.
- each car-mover is steered by a vehicle driver.
- the cargo mover is therefore not economical enough for long-haul routes.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method and apparatus for transporting goods by rail, which can optimize both the collection and delivery of relatively small quantities of goods at rail connections and the transport over long distances economically.
- the object to provide a suitable method is achieved according to the invention in that the drive devices of the freight cars are used for short trips from a station to a customer and back alone and that the freight cars for long-distance trips are put together to a train pulled by a head vehicle becomes.
- the advantage is achieved that the goods wagons, although with its own drive device, but still easy and inexpensive to be built, because they are used only for short trips, namely between a siding and the nearest station. For these short trips neither complex safety devices are necessary nor drive devices that make relatively high speeds possible.
- the advantage is achieved that individual freight cars without consuming Rangierfahr ⁇ th can get from a siding to a station or can be distributed from a station on sidings. Since the freight wagons are driven individually over short distances and with their own drive, a minimum of equipment is sufficient for them.
- the method according to the invention enables a cost-effective and at the same time rapid transport method for goods.
- the head vehicle is a common locomotive for long-distance travel and the drive devices of the freight cars are switched off during long-distance travel.
- An additional drive of the freight cars is then usually not required.
- the drive power of the train can be supported by the drive devices of the freight cars. For example, be pulled by the locomotive freight cars with and without their own drive device. It is then possible a mixed traffic in which in a freight train usual freight cars and the freight cars, which then go from the station alone to the siding, can be adjusted.
- the drive devices of rechargeable energy stores are supplied to the freight car. These can be accumulators or so-called super-capacitors. Such rechargeable energy stores are sufficient for the short and relatively slow journeys the wagons have to make alone.
- the rechargeable energy storage are charged from the head vehicle during long-distance travel, when the freight cars are coupled to the head vehicle.
- the charging can be done particularly advantageous when the traction motors of Kopffahrzeu ⁇ ges, for example when braking in generator mode, provide electrical energy.
- the head vehicle controls the Antriebsvorrich ⁇ tions of freight cars via a data bus or via a radio link. If the drive power of the freight cars of a train is sufficient for long-distance transport, the head ⁇ vehicle does not need to have a strong engine. However, control and regulation equipment and a driver's cab are available.
- the drive devices of the freight cars are remotely controlled for the short journeys.
- the pre ⁇ part is achieved that only one person is sufficient to several goods wagons eg from a place next to the track from moving.
- the task of a suitable device for transporting Gü ⁇ tern indicate with the railway, the invention according to achieved in that the drive devices of the freight wagons are designed for short trips from a train station to a customer and back and that the freight cars for long-distance trips can be coupled to a head vehicle.
- the advantage is achieved that the self-propelled wagons to be moved can be easily and inexpensively equipped, since they only have to deal with short distances relatively slowly. Both the drive power and the fuse technology can be minimized. For the long haul a head-end vehicle is then used, which pulls the car.
- the head vehicle is a common locomotive for long-distance trips. It does not necessarily require a special head vehicle.
- the drive devices of the freight cars can be switched off, for example. Particularly when the head vehicle is a conventional locomotive, freight cars is trie ⁇ need not be ben itself. However, to assist in uphills, the drive devices of the freight cars can support the locomotive.
- the drive devices of the freight wagons are connected, for example, to rechargeable energy stores. These can be accumulators or so-called super-capacitors.
- the stored energy is sufficient to move a freight car by means of its own drive device over the relatively short distance it has to deal with. So there are no complex energy supply ⁇ devices in the freight cars necessary.
- the energy storage are connected for charging, for example, with the coupled head vehicle.
- the advantage is achieved that the energy storage are charged in the horwa ⁇ gen on the head vehicle during a long drive, so that the freight cars with drive device of a station from immediately again alone sidings can reach ⁇ chen.
- the head vehicle has only a small own drive power. This drive power is sufficient, the
- the head vehicle control and a safe ⁇ integrated device which is connected via a data bus comparable or a radio link with the drive devices of the goods wagons.
- the advantage is achieved that the on ⁇ operating devices of the freight cars can be controlled directly from the head vehicle if necessary.
- the head vehicle requires a driver's station, a pantograph and an infeed converter. There may also be a diesel engine or a fuel cell.
- the head vehicle In addition to the pantograph, the head vehicle mainly requires only electronic components for driving the drive devices and brakes of the individual freight cars, as well as other facilities required for long-distance traffic.
- the goods wagons by means of a voltage Fernbedie ⁇ are remotely controllable. It is then not necessary for a driver to be present for the journey from the station to the sidings on each freight car. Rather, the driven freight cars can then be moved from an interlocking or from a person standing on the track via the remote control.
- the advantage is achieved that in a Transportsys ⁇ system for the rail transportation of goods the advantages of the equipped with its own drive device freight car (Cargo Mover) and the advantages of the usual freight train are combi ⁇ ned.
