Mechanical testing on structures and subassemblies both with application of maximum break loads or real measured operational loads.
Special Instrumentation
Design of special measurement systems based on advanced mechatronics for the study of complex and key interfaces between the vehicle and infrastructure subsystems.
Running Dynamics
Static testing of vehicles and dynamic on-track running tests on real operating conditions.
Noise and Vibrations
Testing on components as well as for full vehicle of noise levels and vibration characterization.
Environmental Tests
Vehicle homologation and optimization under different enviromental conditions.
On-Track Tests
Field testing activities for the evaluation of design towards external and internal requirements on aerodynamics and fatigue on-track.
Rotating Elements and Components
Mechanical integrity, fatigue, endurance, reliability and functional performance testing of various rotating elements and components of the rail vehicle running gear.
EMC and Energy Consumption
Facilities and field testing activities for the evaluation of design towards external and internal requirements on EMI/EMC and energy consumption.
Traction, Braking & Current Collection Performance
On-track functional performance tests for traction and braking systems, as well as for the current collection (pantograph and catenary interaction).
