METHOD FOR MANAGING A RAILWAY VEHICLE AND RAILWAY VEHICLE OPERATING IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH METHOD

摘要

A method for managing a railway vehicle which comprises a motor (6) connected to a chassis (2), a first (3) and a second axle (4) functionally connected to the motor (6); a first transmission member (7) of hydrostatic type and a second transmission member (8) of hydrodynamic type (generally defined “gear”, which can be of hydrodynamic or mechanical type) for connecting the motor to the first and second axle; the method comprising the steps of selecting a configuration for managing the vehicle (1) and switching said vehicle between a first operative condition, in which the first transmission member (7) or the second transmission member (8) is active, and a second operative condition, in which both the first transmission member (7) and the second transmission member (8) are simultaneously active, at least as a function of the vehicle (1) management configuration.

1. Method for managing a railway vehicle, said vehicle comprising:
a chassis;
a motor (6) connected to the chassis (2);at least one first axle (3) and at least one second axle (4) connected to the chassis (2) and functionally connected to the motor (6);a first transmission member (7) of hydrostatic type for connecting said motor (6) to said first axle (3);a second transmission member (8) of hydrodynamic or mechanical type for connecting said motor to said second axle (4); the method comprising the steps of:
selecting a configuration for managing the vehicle (i);switching said vehicle between a first operative condition, in which the first transmission member (7) or the second transmission member (8) is active, and a second operative condition, in which both the first transmission member (7) and the second transmission member (8) are simultaneously active, at least as a function of the vehicle (1) management configuration.
