DB Regio:
Diesel railcar 642 on a hybrid basis
In a joint pilot project Deutsche Bahn and MTU Friedrichshafen have
been developing and trialling a hybrid propulsion unit for use with rail
passenger services. For this purpose a Series 642 diesel-mechanical
railcar has been converted into a hybrid vehicle. The new propulsion
system, in the form of a hybrid powerpack, uses a generator to convert
the kinetic energy produced by braking into electrical energy.
This electrical energy is temporarily stored in batteries and is available
for use during the journey if required. It is planned to obtain approval
for use on passenger services by the end of the year. The parallel
hybrid set-up enables the vehicle to be powered either by the
diesel or the electric motor, or as a diesel-electric combination. Financial
support for the project has been provided by the Federal Ministry
of Transport, Construction and Urban Development under the
Model Regions Electromobility project under the coordination of NOW
GmbH National Organisation for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology.

Realistic, three-dimensional visualisation
On display by DB Systel for the first time at InnoTrans 2012, this comprehensive
solution provides for the highly realistic and three-dimensional
visualisation of geodata and infrastructure. It imports real data
from other applications, which it converts and compresses. Visualisation
can be used on a computer to show movement through stations
and along the tracks as well as through
large construction sites. In this way
operational processes in maintenance,
working processes during the transhipment
of freight and the flow of travellers
through a station can be simulated. Even
highly complex infrastructural projects
can be shown in their entirety and rendered
visible to those involved in the pro-
ject, decision-makers or local residents. Planning errors can be immediately
identified, while communication and coordination are simplified.
This flexible and comprehensive solution encompasses advice about
the procurement and refinement of data, interfaces to the data sources
and the provision of the relevant software.
