  • Vehicle head with reduced crosswind sensitivity
    Patent number: 10836408
    Abstract: A vehicle having a wagon body which is supported on at least one running gear, wherein the wagon body defines a vehicle longitudinal direction, a vehicle transverse direction and a vehicle height direction. The wagon body has a body section and an adjacent head section. The head section has an outer skin and a flow separation unit for reducing sensitivity of the vehicle to crosswind. The flow separation unit comprises a roof-like protrusion formed by the outer skin. The roof-like protrusion has a first roof section, a second roof section, and a ridge section forming a transition between the first roof section and the second roof section. The first roof section and the second roof section run inclined to one another such that, the ridge section forms a flow separation edge for the air flow.
