PLANNING CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A TESTING BENCH FOR RUNNING QUALITIES FOR THE WHEEL/RAIL RESEARCH PROGRAM

PLANUNG, BAU UND BETRIEB DES ROLLPRUEFSTANDES FUER DAS RAD/SCHIENE-FORSCHUNGSPROGRAMM

The chassis dynamometer serves to investigate the running properties of running gear and vehicles as well as influences resulting from individual components. The test facility is to provide information for basic research on vehicle running properties, basic research on track system construction, and development of new vehicle components or vehicles. In order to provide test results for the most direct use, the track system properties (track elasticity, wheel to rail contact conditions, route elements) must be optimally simulated. To do this, a computer transmits periodic and random signals to the rollers replacing the rails.
