Electrical equipment compartment for integration in a deformable driver cabin for an urban railway vehicle

A driver cabin for an urban railway vehicle, said driver cabin extending in a longitudinal driving direction and comprising:

• a cabin chassis including at least one main shock-absorbing area having a longitudinal extent defined between a front plane oriented transversally to the longitudinal driving direction and a rear plane oriented transversally to the longitudinal driving direction, the main shock-absorbing area configured to deform in case of a shock between an initial state and a shock-absorbed state, so that in the shock-absorbed state the longitudinal extent of the main shock-absorbing area is reduced along a predefined compression distance;
• an electrical equipment compartment storing at least one stiff electrical element carrying electronic components, the at least one stiff electrical element having a force for deformation in a direction parallel to the longitudinal driving direction exceeding 10% of a deformation force necessary to deform the main shock-absorbing area;
• wherein:
• the electrical equipment compartment is located inside the main shock-absorbing area,
• the at least one stiff electrical element is substantially planar and substantially oriented in a transverse direction relative to the longitudinal driving direction,
• the electrical equipment compartment comprises at least one deformation space extending in the longitudinal driving direction along an initial length, the sum of the initial lengths of the at least one deformation space being greater than the predefined compression distance.
