A method and apparatus for operating a vehicle to be driven on the road as well as railroad tracks includes an auxiliary drive suspended below a frame of the vehicle. The auxiliary drive includes a hydraulic roller assembly having a roller component for engaging a tire of a vehicle to be propelled. A hydraulic cylinder extends said roller component from a first, unengaged position to a second, engaged position. A hydraulic motor is operatively connected to a chain drive for driving said roller component so that said roller component rotates and imparts a corresponding rotary force to the tire of the vehicle. In operation, the vehicle is placed in neutral and the auxiliary drive is actuated. The auxiliary drive can be controlled at any location, thereby allowing the vehicle to be driven without a driver.

L'invention concerne une méthode et un dispositif de manoeuvre d'un véhicule roulant sur la route ainsi que sur des voies ferrées. Le dispositif comprend une commande auxiliaire suspendue sous le châssis du véhicule. La commande auxiliaire comporte un ensemble de rouleaux hydrauliques doté d'un élément à rouleaux pour entrer en prise avec un pneu du véhicule à propeler. Un cylindre hydraulique fait passer ledit élément à rouleaux d'une première position non engagée à une deuxième position engagée. Un moteur hydraulique est lié de façon efficace à une commande par chaîne pour entraîner ledit élément à rouleaux afin que celui-ci tourne et transmette une force rotative correspondante au pneu du véhicule. Pendant l'opération, le véhicule est mis en mode neutre, puis la commande auxiliaire est actionnée. La commande auxiliaire peut être contrôlée à n'importe quel endroit, ce qui permet de conduire le véhicule sans aucun conducteur.
