Model  81-572.2, 81-573.2

Description

Metro cars, models 81-572.2, 81-573.2 were developed specially under Warsaw subway technical requirements, and designed for passenger transportation on underground lines with capability of short-term surface emergence. The cars are made in 2 types: “head” with control cabin (model 81-572.2), and “intermediate” (model 81-573.2).

The car number in a train for Warsaw underground – six: two head and four intermediate. If needed, that number may be increased to the required one by adding some intermediate cars.

Key advantages of this train, as compared to serial trains with AC traction drive, are as follows:

• Induced ventilation of passenger saloon providing comfortable conditions for passengers due to air flow;  

• Considerable reducing of noise level by way of escaping from traditional ventilation and, thus, dividing inner car space from outside space;

• New and original interior of cars, made from flameproof materials;

• The cars have a modern fire alarm system and automatic firefighting system for separate inflammable parts;

• In car saloons there are installed European made anti-vandal seats;

• Complex digital information system enabling the following functions: video surveillance of all saloons and cabins with video data saving, voice data translation over the train, “passenger-locoman” communication, and data displaying onto digital information panels “roll captions”, provided two by two in each car;

• Two light lines based on fluorescent tubes provide the required lightning and comply harmonically with passenger saloon design;

• The cars have an outside lacquer coating with increased flameproof properties, produced by European firm;

• Asbestos containing materials are excluded from car construction;

• The head end is made on metal frame base, glass fiber coated on the outside. The head end is provided with a door enabling the passenger evacuation onto railway tracks in case of emergency;

• The locoman’s cabin is provided with air conditioner;

• The locoman’s cabin is made in compliance with modern ergonomic requirements; it has an augmented windscreen, as well as original rearview mirrors which enable in complex the increased observability for the locoman;

• The advanced locoman’s control panel is designed in accordance with Russian and European ergonomic requirements, is equipped with new control instrumentation, light-signaling and commutation elements used by worldwide leading rail transport producers;

• The locoman’s new controller – the key instrument of train movement control, is designed on a modern elemental base which enabled sizable reducing of its parameters;

• The locoman’s chair provides better comfort.
