Abstract: A bellows as gangway protection between two movably connected car bodies or a jetway has a roof and two side parts facing one another. At least the two side parts have a multiplicity of folds or corrugations formed of a bendable sheet material. Each fold or corrugation has a narrow and a longitudinal side. Two folds or corrugations abutting one another are joined along their longitudinal sides. At least one fold or corrugation has at least one reinforcing section and at least two normal sections. The reinforcing section has a thickness greater than the normal sections. The reinforcing section has a narrow and a longitudinal side. The longitudinal side primarily extends in the direction of the longitudinal side of the fold or corrugation. An extension of the narrow side of the reinforcing section is a maximum of 75% of an extension of the narrow side of the fold or corrugation.

Abstract: The invention relates to an articulated vehicle including a plurality of vehicles or vehicle parts connected to one another in an articulated manner, a passage arranged between adjacent ones of the vehicles or the vehicle parts, the passage having an inner lining and an outer lining laterally spaced from the inner lining so as to define an empty cavity therebetween, one front wall on each side of the passage between the two adjacent vehicles or vehicle parts, the inner lining and the outer lining being arranged at the front walls of the two adjacent vehicles or vehicle parts while forming the empty cavity therebetween, a noise-absorbing noise insulation layer applied to a free surface on each of the front walls in the empty cavity between the inner and outer lining, wherein each of the noise-absorbing noise insulation layer extends into the empty cavity and terminates at a surface facing opposite to the each of the front walls respectively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for monitoring at least one characteristic of a railroad (10), comprising a central computing unit (22) which is adapted to retrieve and process data from multiple data sources (19, 20, 24, 26) and to provide output data representing the at least one characteristic of the railroad (10), and at least two data sources (19, 20, 24, 26) which are adapted to deliver data to the central computing unit over respective data links, wherein at least one of the two data sources (19) comprises at least one sensor unit (16a-16c) located in the vicinity of a section of the railroad (10) to be monitored. According to the invention, the at least two data sources (19, 20, 24, 26) are provided such that said data delivered by them refers to different physical properties of the railroad (10) and/or environmental properties.

Abstract: The invention relates to an articulated vehicle, for example a rail vehicle or an articulated bus, formed from a plurality of vehicles or vehicle parts (2, 3) connected to one another in an articulated manner, wherein a passage (10) is arranged between the vehicles or vehicle parts (2, 3), wherein the passage has an inner cladding (12) and an outer cladding (14) laterally spaced apart from the inner cladding, wherein the inner (12) and outer cladding (14) are arranged so as to form the spacing (A) relative to one another on the end walls of two adjacent vehicles or vehicle parts, wherein a sound insulation layer (18) can be applied to the free surface (16) formed by the spacing (A) on the end wall.

Abstract: A method of attaching functional components to a roof element of a vehicle, including applying a curable material in a low-viscosity state which is molded in sections by means of a first mold surface, wherein a second mold surface is used which serves for shaping further sections of the curable material, an opening remaining accessible towards the environment through which the curable material can be introduced.

Abstract: A method of attaching functional components to a roof element of a vehicle is provided. The method including the steps of: applying a curable material in a low-viscosity state which is molded in sections by a first mold surface, wherein a second mold surface is used for further shaping sections of the curable material, and wherein an opening remains accessible towards an environment through which the curable material is introduced.
