  • DETERMINING ONE OR MORE TRACTOR UNITS FOR A TRACTOR-TRAILER
    Publication number: 20240095649
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining one or more tractor units for a tractor-trailer in a system including a plurality of electrically driven tractor units. Each tractor unit is configured to form a tractor-trailer with a respective trailer and to tow the respective trailer. The method includes: receiving a first item of transport order information, representing a loading position and an unloading position, receiving first items of tractor unit information representing a current position of the respective tractor unit and an estimated current range of the respective tractor unit, determining the first tractor unit in order to form a first tractor-trailer for transporting the goods along a first section of a transport route, the determination of the first tractor unit being performed while considering the first item of transport order information and the first items of tractor unit information.

  • Dashpot with amplitude-dependent shock absorption
    Patent number: 7441639
    Abstract: A dashpot featuring amplitude-dependent shock absorption, especially intended for the wheel of a vehicle and including a hydraulically parallel cylindrical pressure-compensation chamber (8). The pressure-compensation chamber is partitioned by an axially displaceable floating piston (10). At least one face (25) of the floating piston is provided with a resilient bumper (18). The object is a dashpot with a floating piston that arrives more gently at its limit inside the pressure-compensation chamber (8). The bumper is accordingly accommodated in an axial hollow (17) that extends through the body (15) of the floating piston.
