Low-floor Tram
A low-floor tram is a tram that has no steps between one or more entrances and part or all of the passenger cabin. The low-floor design improves the accessibility of the tram for the public, and also may provide larger windows and more airspace. A low-floor tram allows accessible level access from curb (road), curb level platforms. Level access can also be achieved either by using a high-floor vehicle serving high-platform stops. Currently both types are in use, depending on the station platform infrastructure in existing rail systems. Some systems may make use of former railway alignments where use of existing high platforms is desirable, while others, particularly new systems, may not have the space to site high-level platforms in urban centres. Low-floor tram configurations Trams traditionally had high floors, and articulated tram designs evolved with low-floor centre sections. Examples of this design are Trams in Amsterdam, Amsterdam 11G/12G-trams and the Kusttrams in Belgium ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tram With Suspended Articulation
A tram with a suspended articulation is a type of tram or streetcar architecture with one or more articulated vehicle, articulations being suspended. Here, articulations (i.e. permanent coupling) work like a hinge joint and are not supported by a bogie. This is unlike the more common solution with an articulation resting on a special connecting bogie, called jacobs bogie. Seen from the side at ground level, the suspended joint seems to be 'floating' because the lack of wheels directly under the joint. The shortest examples consist of two sections. One section on two axles or two bogies; the other section rests both on one bogie and the other section, similar to a semi-trailer. In the diagram to the right, the short centre section supports the two end sections. Each of the end sections rests on one bogie and also on the centre section. It is a popular tram/light rail architecture for vehicles in North America. History In 1928 an experimental tram was constructed in Görlitz a ...
