A railroad train marshaling system or marshaling method is disclosed. The railroad train includes cars within platform area which are made up of several cars; door-free cars which are connected with the cars within platform area at both ends or one end and made up of at least one car with no side door for passengers to get on and off the train. When the railroad train stops at the platform, the cars within platform area are arranged to stop within the area of platform or corresponding to the platform, the door-free car is arranged to stop beyond platform area and passengers in the door-free car will get to the platform directly from the car within platform area. The sum of length of door-free car and cars within platform area is more than that of the platform.

In an example, the autonomous vehicle (AV) can be configured among the other vehicles and railway to communicate with a rider on a peer to peer basis to pick up the rider on demand from a location on a railway track, rather than the rider being held hostage to a fixed railway schedule. The rider can have an application on his/her cell phone, which tracks each of the AVs, and contact them using the application on the cell phone. In an example, the AV is configured for both on-track and off track operation with different operating parameters for on-track and off track.

The manufacturing method includes a step for manufacturing a structural frame, defining an area intended to house driving equipment, said structural frame including two side walls on either side each having at least one side opening, a step for assembling two side windows, each covering a respective one of the side openings, and, prior to said assembly step, a step for producing two side window supports, each assembled with a respective one of the side walls, each side window being attached on a respective one of the side supports during the assembly step.

Disclosed is railway vehicle coach, including a chassis and a bogie arranged below the chassis in a vertical direction. The coach includes a thermally insulating screen, arranged between the chassis and the bogie, above the bogie in the vertical direction.

The rail vehicle (1) comprises front end (100) and rear end (102) and side faces (104) and a light strip (3) fixed to the outside of the railway vehicle (1) and comprising a light source. The light strip (104) is fixed on at least either the front end (100) or rear end (102) and on the side faces, and extends over at least 50% the length of each of the side faces (104).

A system for immobilizing a semi-trailer kingpin on a transport vehicle includes a balance arm and a substantially horizontal rigid linking structure designed to guide the vertical movement of the receiving nacelle, hold it in position above the lifting system in a horizontal plane and take up the forces exerted thereon. The longitudinal rigid linking structure is hingedly linked to the receiving nacelle and to the transport vehicle in order to take up the longitudinal forces from same, and the balance arm includes preloaded springs that take up the forces exerted on the balance arm when the receiving nacelle is temporarily inclined relative to the horizontal plane. The lifting system for lifting the receiving nacelle is mounted pivoting on the railway unit at a pivot pin transverse to the longitudinal axis of the transport vehicle.

The warning device (12) includes a warning light mechanism (16), that is configured so as to emit a flashing strobe light (20) that flashes at a frequency that is higher than 10 Hz.

A rail vehicle having at least a first carriage and a second carriage intercoupled via a carriage coupling device that has a variable resistance to twisting of the at least first carriage relative to the second carriage, wherein a first resistance torque gradient of the carriage coupling device at a first angular position of the at least first carriage relative to the second carriage in a direction of rotation is greater in magnitude than a second resistance torque gradient of the carriage coupling device at a second angular position of the at least first carriage relative to the second carriage in the same direction of rotation, where the first angular position is associated with a lesser twisting of the at least first carriage relative to the second carriage than the second angular position, such that an improved driving behavior of the rail vehicle is achieved, particular when entering track curves.
