THE TEST CENTRE FOR TRANSPORT TECHNIQUES

DIE VERSUCHSANLAGE FUER VERKEHRSTECHNIKEN

Following a survey of the technical and economic results of the studies finalised by the Company for studies on high-speed, large-capacity railways, an examination is made of the technical details relating to the test centre to be set up at Donauried, where experiments are to be made with the magnetic levitation technique up to a speed of 500 km/h, and with the wheel/rail technique up to 400 km/h. Endurance tests are also planned in connection with the crossing of trains; it is also intended to construct a main running track with loop for linear motor tests. This test centre is due to be completed by 1978, if preparation of the site and elaboration of the plan are terminated by 1975.
