Vigier Rail:
LVT trafficability solution for emergency vehicles
The Swiss company Vigier Rail, together with the licensor, Sonneville,
has introduced a new development for use on the Low Vibration Track
(LVT) slab track system, and this is being presented for the first time
at InnoTrans 2012. It enables emergency vehicles running on pneumatic
tyres to operate on LVT rail tracks. This development originated
from the need to meet specific emergency rescue concepts requiring
pneumatically tyred emergency vehicles to be able to access tunnels.
To achieve this the system provider, Sonneville AG, has developed a
new LVT support with high shoulders, which forms the main feature
of the overall LVT Traffic concept. The track for emergency vehicles
is created by means of an additional concrete layer, cast in-situ, in
combination with the newly developed LVT support points. Specially
designed formwork covers separate the LVT supports and the concrete
for the vehicle track. As a result the outstanding performance
of the Low Vibration Track, in terms of the flush track and protection
against vibration, is retained.

VINCI Energies: Recovering energy from braking
With the innovative capabilities and expertise of its subsidiary Cegelec
Infrastructures & Mobility, VINCI Energies is able to support its
customers in optimising the electricity consumption of their transport
systems. New solutions for recovering braking energy are on
show at InnoTrans 2012. The simulation of operating energy system,
for example, enables the number, location and output of transformer
substations to be determined. The aim is to provide customers
with the best technical solution and the best possible returns. This
is dependent on the technology of supercaps, which are installed
in the relevant transformer sub-station or along the track, in order
to store energy generated during braking and to release it again to
propel the rail vehicle. This exhibitor points out that the use of suitable
technology can lead to a 30 per cent reduction in energy costs
for the transport company.
