Railway vehicle with a deformable driver's cab with dedicated repair interface

摘要

A railway vehicle (2) comprises a central section (10) and a vehicle cabin (12) that is shorter than the central section. The vehicle cabin (12) comprises a collapsible front section (16) that undergoes controlled collapse in case of collision and at least one rigid section (18) located between the front section (16) and the central section (10). The front section (16) has a lower resistance to deformation than the rigid section (18). The rigid section (18) comprising a reinforced ring structure extending in a vertical plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction; The vehicle is provided with at least one dedicated repair interface (14) for removably fixing the vehicle cabin (12) to the central section (10). The ring is rigidly connected via rigid longitudinal frame members to rear rigid frame members extending in a further vertical transverse plane located between the ring and the dedicated repair interface (14). The rear rigid frame members are rigidly affixed to the dedicated repair interface (14).
