Articulated aerodynamic skirt mechanisms: BYDRecent Research Landscape

High-speed rail drag and mechanical vulnerability increase when coupling systems are exposed. This mechanism engineers a retractable protective interface to maintain aerodynamic profiles while ensuring rapid mechanical deployment.

What technical problems is BYD addressing in Articulated aerodynamic skirt mechanisms?

Unsafe platform gap hazards

(20)evidences

Discontinuity between coupled rail vehicles creates significant drag and airflow instability. Reducing these disturbances improves fuel efficiency and high-speed stability.

Restricted emergency egress access

(10)evidences

Limited interior volume and inefficient layout of control interfaces in rail vehicle cabins. Optimizing spatial configuration improves operator ergonomics and equipment accessibility.
