The process of the transport vehicle, of the type of the tunnel borer follower train

摘要

The invention relates to a set of transport vehicle, of the type a tunnel borer follower train, in which the vehicles (2, 2a, 3), each mounted on the axles (4, 4a, 4b; 5, 5a), are connected together by means of articulation (6) which, in addition, control means of orientation of the axles for a displacement of the type requires the train (1). This set of transport vehicle is characterized by the fact that the two vehicles (2, 2a) placed at the ends (17, 18) of the train (1) are of the self-propelled type with a reversible operation, the self-propelled vehicle (2, 2a) which, in the direction of movement of the train closes the operation being, by means of appropriate management of operation, according to the case, connected in switched mode of operation self-sufficient in order to ensure its movement without pushing the other vehicles of the train or in braking mode, in order to allow the stopping or slowing down of the train (1), or else in order to maintain that - latter in the voltage drop.
