THE CHASSIS DYNAMOMETER AS A RESEARCH TOOL IN WHEEL/RAIL TECHNOLOGY

ROLLPRUEFSTAND ZUR ERFORSCHUNG DER RAD/SCHIENE TECHNIK

It is designed to simulate running conditions, traction and braking as well as the required track position and any deviation from this position, thus permitting the running performance of the vehicles and components to be tested under stationary laboratory conditions. The rail is simulated by rollers. The paper describes the degrees of freedom of the rollers used to simulate the track geometry and the appertaining design implementation as well as the representation of the tractive and braking efforts. The fundamental features of the structures and process control system are outlined too.
