21、 is used to describe a self-propelling train unit capable of coupling with other units of the same or similar type and still being controlled from one cab.1 The term is commonly used to denote passenger trainsets that co

22、nsist of more than one carriage, but single self-propelling carriages, can be referred to as multiple units if capable of operating with other units.</p><p>　　Multiple units are of three main types：</p>

27、comotive-hauled trains. They are more nimble, especially on grades, as much more of the train’s weight ( sometimes all of it) is carried on power-driven wheels, rather than suffer the dead weight of unpowered hauled coac

28、hes. In addition, they have a lower weight-per-seat value than locomotive-hauled trains since they do not have a bulky locomotive that does not itself carry passengers but ecmtributes to the total weight of the train. Th

29、is is</p><p>　　No need to turn locomotive~Most MUs have cabs at both end, resulting in quicker turnaround times, reduced crewing costs i and enhanced safety. The faster turnaround time and the reduced size (

30、due to higher frequencies) as compared to large locomotive -hauled trains, has made the MU a major part of suburban commuter rail services in many countries, MUs are also used by most rapid transit systems.</p>&l

31、t;p>　　Composing can be changed mid journey~MUs may usually be quickly made up or separated into sets of varying lengths. Several multiple units may run as a single train，then be broken at a junction point into smaller

32、 trains for different destinations.</p><p>　　Reliability—Due to having multiple engines the failure of one engine does not prevent the train from continuing its journey. A locomotive drawn train typically on

33、ly has one power unit whose failure will disable the train. Some locomotive hauled trains may contain more than one power unit and thus be able to continue at reduced speed after the failure of one.</p><p>　

34、　Safety—Multiple units normally have completely independent braking systems on all cars meaning the failure of the brakes on one car does not prevent the brakes from operating on the other cars.</p><p>　　Axl

35、e load—Multiple units have lighter axle loads, allowing operation on lighter tracks, where locomotives are banned. Another side effect of this is reduced track wear, as traction forces can be provided through many axles,

36、 rather than just the four or six of a locomotive.</p><p>　　Easy and quick driving~Multiple units generally have rigid couplers instead of the flexible ones on locomotive hauled trains. That means brakes or

37、throttle can be more quickly applied without excessive amount of jerk experienced in passenger coaches.</p><p>　　Disadvantages：</p><p>　　Multiple Units do have some disadvantages as compared to

38、locomotive hauled trains.</p><p>　　Maintenance—It may be easier to maintain one locomotive than many self-propelled cars.</p><p>　　Safety—In the past it was often safer to locate the train's

39、 power systems away from passengers. This was particularly the case for steam locomotives, but still has some relevance for other power sources. A head on collision involving a multiple-unit is likely to result in more c

40、asualties than one with a locomotive*</p><p>　　Easy replacement of motive power~Should a locomotive fail, it is easily replaced. Failure of a multiple unit train-set will often require a whole new train or t

41、ime-consuming switching.</p><p>　　Efficiency—Idle trains do not waste expensive motive power resources. Separate locomotives mean that the costly motive power assets can be moved around as needed.</p>

42、<p>　　Flexibility—Large locomotives can be substituted for small locomotives where the gradients of the route become steeper and more power is needed.5 Also, different types of passenger cars can be easily added to

43、 or removed from a locomotive hauled train. However, it is not so easy for a multiple unit since individual cars can be attached or detached only in a maintenance facility.</p><p>　　Noise and Vibration—The p

44、assenger environment of a multiple unit is often noticeably noisier than that of a locomotive-hauled train, due to the presence of underfloor machinery. The same applies to vibration. This is particular problem with DMUs

45、.</p><p>　　Obsolescence cycles—Separating the motive power from the payload-hauling cars means that either can be replaced when obsolete without affecting the other.</p><p>　　It is difficult to

46、have gangways between coupled sets, and still retain an aerodynamic leading front end.</p><p><b>　　Features</b></p><p>　　It is not necessary for every single car in a MU set to be mo

47、torized. Therefore MU cars can be motor units or trailer units. Instead of motors, trailing units can contain some supplemental equipment such as air compressors, batteries, etc.</p><p>　　In some MU trains，e

48、very car is equipped with a driving console, and other controls necessary to operate the train. Therefore every car can be used as a cab car whether it is motorised or not, if on the end of the train. However, other EMUs

49、 can be driven/controlled only from dedicated Cab cars.</p><p>　　Well-known examples of MUs are the Japanese Shinkansen and the last generation German ICE. Most trains in the Netherlands and Japan are MUs, m

59、語用于描述自力推進的列車組。該列車組可以與其他一樣或類似的列車組連接起來并且受同一司機室控制。該術(shù)語通常用于表示由多節(jié)車廂組成的固定編組列車，但單個自力推進的車廂若可與其他車廂運行則也可被稱為動車組。</p><p>　　動車組有如下三種主要類型：</p><p><b>　　電力動車組，</b></p><p><b>　　內(nèi)燃動車

62、負載。此外，因為動車組沒有大容量機車，而大容量機車不僅自身并不能運送旅客，而且增加了列車的總重量。所以動車組比機車拖動普通列車具有較低的單位座位重量。對于那些需要頻繁停站的列車服務(wù)來說這是特別重要的，因為用于加速列車的能源消耗隨著列車重量的增加也極大地增加。</p><p>　　無需掉轉(zhuǎn)車頭。多數(shù)動車組兩端都有駕駛室大大加快了運轉(zhuǎn)速度，降低了車務(wù)人員成本提高了安全性。與大型機車拖動普通列車相比，這種加快了運轉(zhuǎn)速度
