A transportation device, such as a rail vehicle, has a water supply device with a freshwater tank, at least one used water device connected to the freshwater tank and a collecting container connected to the used water device. The collecting container collects and stores used water which comes from the used water device The water supply device includes a control device which, by way of at least one control signal, can predefine one of at least two different operating modes, specifically a normal operating mode and an economy operating mode in which, compared to the normal operating mode, at least one operational resource which is necessary to operate the water supply device is consumed to a lesser extent than in the normal operating mode.

A rail vehicle has a internal tank installed. A connection opening is provided on a base of the tank into which a tank closure can be inserted from the outside of the tank. The tank closure is mounted on an inner side of an unfolding, sack-shaped container, and an edge of the sack-shaped container is attached to a shaft which lies beneath the tank, in the base of the rail vehicle.

A vehicle lavatory, in particular an aircraft lavatory, is described. The lavatory includes a cabin space with a centrally located vertical axis around which a washstand and a urinal unit are located. The washstand and urinal unit are arranged to each have an approximately horizontal surface at their top, such that a person using the lavatory has a location to place personal items during use. The horizontal surfaces of the washstand and the urinal are arranged to exist in the same plane and may be a continuous surface that may additionally cross the entirety of the width of the cabin. The urinal is arranged such that a plane defining the opening of the urinal is at an angle relative to a plane defining a front surface of the washstand such that a person using the lavatory only has to turn slightly to access the urinal and the washstand.

The invention relates to a mobile sanitary device, in particular for a rail vehicle, comprising a vacuum toilet, a flush button, a power supply, a control device, and a control unit. In particular, the invention relates to a mobile sanitary device comprising a vacuum toilet, a flush button, a power supply, a control device, and a control unit, the control unit comprising a standard circuit board for routing signals, having a standard interface comprising a vacuum toilet connecting means for connecting a vacuum toilet, a flush button connecting means for connecting a flush button, and a power supply connecting means for connecting a power supply, a configuration circuit board comprising a configuration interface having a first configuration connection means, wherein the vacuum toilet connection means, the flush button connection means, the power supply connection means, and the first configuration connection means are conductively coupled to each other, wherein the configuration interface is arranged such that the configuration circuit board is coupled to a control device, and at least one signal carried by the standard circuit board and/or by the configuration circuit board can be tapped, processed and/or driven by the control device.

A toilet cabin delimited by: a front wall, a rear wall, arranged to be facing the front wall, and separated from the front wall by a first distance, with a toilet bowl being arranged in the proximity of this rear wall, this toilet bowl being turned to be facing toward the front wall; a first lateral wall, in the proximity of which the toilet bowl is arranged; and a second lateral wall arranged to be facing the first lateral wall, and separated from this first lateral wall by a second distance; at least one circular space, delimited by a virtual circle tangent to the toilet bowl, defined in the proximity of the second lateral wall, this circular space being free of any fixed obstructing fittings, and the virtual circle presenting a diameter that is greater than 95% of the first distance and greater than 70% of the second maximal distance.

A bioreactor cleaning system for cleaning a bioreactor in a rail vehicle, comprising a first suction connection, a second suction connection, a flushing connection, an acid tank, a collection tank for receiving liquid drawn out of the bioreactor, a fresh water connection, a pump with a first pump connection and a second pump connection, and a measuring unit for measuring liquid. By means of the pump liquid can be pumped from the first suction connection optionally into the measuring unit, into the collection tank or into the acid tank, aqueous acid solution can be pumped from the acid tank to the second suction connection and/or to the flushing connection; fresh water can be pumped from the fresh water connection selectively to the flushing connection or the measuring unit; and liquid can be pumped from the measuring unit either to the collection tank or to the second suction connection.

An actuation device for a public transport vehicle to avoid transmission of bacteria during the actuation. The device can be actuated by a predefined contactless actuation gesture, the device having a sensor unit that measures without contact and an evaluation unit, which is connected to the sensor unit. The sensor unit can generate a sensor signal transmit the sensor signal to the evaluation unit when an object, in particular a finger or a hand of a person, performs, within a detection space of the sensor unit, a movement at a distance from the actuation device, the signal being dependent on the movement sequence of the movement. The evaluation unit can check whether the movement is a predefined contactless actuation gesture, by which the actuation device can be actuated. If the movement is such an actuation gesture, a control signal is generated for a device of the vehicle.

An improved portable toilet comprises one or more of a flushing mechanism, a urinal flushing mechanism, a solid/liquid separation system, and/or a door opening mechanism.

The invention relates to a vacuum wastewater device, a vacuum wastewater device arrangement as well as a method for removing wastewater from a wastewater reservoir. The vacuum wastewater device comprises a vacuum wastewater device inlet fluidically connectable to a wastewater reservoir, a vacuum wastewater device outlet configured to be supplied with vacuum from a vacuum unit, a valve unit arranged between the vacuum wastewater device inlet and the vacuum wastewater device outlet, an electronic control unit configured to control the valve unit, thereby controlling a fluid flow from the wastewater reservoir through the vacuum wastewater device, and a first sensor arrangement configured to detect a pressure inside the vacuum wastewater device as a first value. In addition, a second sensor arrangement is provided configured to detect a second value related to the vacuum wastewater device.
