Abstract: The invention relates to a railway vehicle comprising a car (14) and a bogie (16). The bogie (14) comprises a chassis (28) and a secondary suspension system (30). The secondary suspension system (30) comprises: a set (34) of springs; a jack (36) comprising two ends (44, 46); and a supply device (38) of the jack (36). The jack (36) is configured to go from a first so-called retracted configuration in which the jack (36) is only connected to the car (14) by the first end (44) to a second so-called deployed configuration in which the jack (36) is also connected to the chassis (18) by the second end (16).
The power supply device (38) is configured, in the deployed configuration, to supply the jack (36) so as to move the car (14) away from the chassis (28) or to keep the distance between the car (14) and the chassis (28) constant.

Abstract: Disclosed is switch lock device of a railway switching actuator connected to a switching slide and a tie bar/locking slide of the actuator, the switching slide and a tie bar/locking slide being slidable one over the other to lock a blade of a railway switch in a closed position, the switch lock including an oscillating catch unit oscillating between two positions, engaging either a stationary step of a casing of the actuator or a head surface of the switching slide. The oscillating catch unit links to the end of the tie bar by a spring actuated mechanism blocking oscillation of the oscillating catch unit in an unlocked position corresponding to the engagement of the switching slide. During switching, the tie bar compresses the spring actuated mechanism, and the oscillating catch unit is free to oscillate towards a locking position, engaging the step of the casing of the actuator.

Abstract: A measurement process, intended for measuring at least one wheel of a train, including an acquisition step, during which a plurality of profiles of at least a part of the wheel are acquired by plurality of optical sensors, as the train moves in front of the optical sensors, a mapping step, during which, for each optical sensor, the profiles acquired by the optical sensor are joined by a control module, to obtain a map of the part of the wheel further transformed into a cloud of points, a rejoining step, during which the clouds of points obtained from the optical sensors are joined to form a three-dimensional image of the wheel, and an analysis step, during which a plurality of reference points and reference distances are measured on the three-dimensional image.

Abstract: Method for detecting rail switches degradation and failures, the method having the steps of applying a Discrete Wavelet Transform to stored measurement data relative to a switch move to be analysed and obtaining a feature vector associated with said switch move and including Discrete Wavelet Transform coefficients delivered by the applied Discrete Wavelet Transform; comparing the obtained feature vector with feature vectors associated with rail switch moves previously obtained and associating each to a respective health class among several given health classes; and determining a health class for the said switch move to be analyzed by selecting one of the health classes associated with the previously obtained feature vectors based upon the comparison step.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining the relationship between a track-circuit current signal and a railway vehicle location, including: sending, by a track circuit, current signal across a railway track block; measuring the current signal for different railway vehicles running successively on the railway track block; aligning the measured current signals and calculating a reference curve as the average value of all the aligned curves by using a Dynamic Time Warping algorithm, this reference curve representing the relationship between the track-circuit current signal and the railway vehicle location on the railway track block.

Abstract: A rotor shaft adapted to rotate about a rotor axis thereof. The rotor shaft includes a rotor cavity configured concentrically to the rotor axis inside the rotor shaft. The rotor shaft further includes a plurality of cooling bores extending radially outward from the rotor cavity to feed cooling air into an internal cooling system in a blade. Each cooling bore includes a bore inlet portion and a distal bore outlet portion. The respective bore inlet portion ends in a plateau, projecting above the outer circumference contour of the rotor cavity. Thus, cooling bore inlets are shifted to a low stress area and the lifetime of the rotor is improved.
