ROLLING STOCK TESTING LABORATORY
The Rolling Stock Testing Laboratory carries out tests as well scientific and research work on all kinds of rail vehicles:
- Locomotives,
- Articulated trains,
- Rail buses,
- Passenger and freight cars,
- Special purpose vehicles, including those for railway infrastructure construction and maintenance,
- Underground train cars,
- Trams.
The Rolling Stock Testing Laboratory:
- The full range of rail vehicle tests - necessary to obtain:
- A railway vehicle type approval certificate issued by the Office for Rail Transport (UTK),
- A TSI requirements compliance certificate issued by the Notified Unit,
- Full-scale crash tests,
- Measurement of the noise and vibration caused in the environment by moving vehicles.
The Rolling Stock Testing Laboratory has specialised test facilities:
- Testing ground for crash tests,
- Test stand for safety tests during pushing through inverted curves,
- Wheel sets for measuring Y and Q contact forces (EBA approved),
- Mobile measuring laboratories cars,
- Test stand for measuring car anti-torque,
- Test buffing stand for measuring stress during crashes (Vmax: 40km/h),
- Stands for stationary and kinetic brake tests, including run tests on the St. Gotthard Pass, complete assemblies on vehicles, individual brake components and their common operation in a train,
- Test stand for checking friction characteristics of brake components (a dynamometer homologated at UIC),
- Stand for measuring external noise - according to the TSI NOI requirements,
- Stands for measuring illumination intensity, noise, vibrations and temperature inside vehicles.
